Brilliant

Just brilliant.

Biohaserd ,

Surprising and playful!

The only music podcast that’ll play the best screams in rock (based on a poll of NYC record store clerks) and an episode based on the theme of “kitchens.” Good times, but not necessarily nice music. Like strong black coffee, it’s bracing and eye-opening.

Two Years on Welfare ,

Good and strange

I've been a long time noiser, I guess you could say. I moved up to Vermont and its hard to find the kind of music I was accustomed to when I lived in Philly. My co-workers listen to classic rock and nu-metal radio at work and my head was going to explode. This podcast has saved me hours of relentlessly mashing my head against the nearest wall. Thank you.
