    Zum Podcast Episode 24 - Michael Morley ----------- Exciting to meet up with Mr. Michael Morley of The Dead C, Gate, 2 Foot Flame, and much more.

    Best of the Zum Podcast

    If this is your first time checking out the show, welcome! I created this hourlong FCC clean version of the show for KGPC 96.9 FM (aka 9th Floor Radio at Peralta College) in Spring 2015. I made some bleep sounds for the swearing and tried to pick the chunks that I found the most interesting. These are my talks with Calvin Johnson (K Records, Beat Happening), Ron Lynch (Adventure Time, Home Movies), Allison Wolfe (Bratmobile), Mark Gergis (Sham Palace, Porest, Sublime Frequencies), and Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu). You can listen to these in their unedited glory from the same place you got this episode. This episode lead to a short-lived (three episodes!) live radio show called Well Futile that is still housed over at KGPC http://www.9thfloorradio.com/wellfutile . I had to end the WF show due to some personal crises (aka a bunch of my records being stolen) but I feel great being back to this long-form format. Since April I also launched a podcast about documentaries with Paco Romane called 'Sup Doc, so check that out as well. http://supdocpodcast.com Theme music is "After God" by High Castle.

    Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu)

    Zum Podcast Episode 23 - Jamie Stewart  ----------- Jamie Stewart is nearly indistinguishable from his 15+ year moniker performing as Xiu Xiu. Though he pals around with Prurient and Merzbow, he's finding new paths to blaze, taking on a Twin Peaks tribute and just trying to make it as a touring musician in the post-physical age. Avid traveller with an undeniable work ethic making challenging music for the mass-less. We talk whilst sitting in a car in LA's Koreatown on a sweltering afternoon. *Congratulations to mutual friend David Horvitz and Zanna Gilbert on the birth of their daughter Ela Melanie in the back of an Uber. *Oakland fire benefits: May 9th at 924 Gilman, AK Press gofundme, Shipwreck Studio, crowdrise fundraiser for displaced residents. ------------ HIGH CASTLE - After God - Spirit of the West (Zum) (intro music)  XIU XIU - Quagga (Kingfisher Bluez) 7 YEAR RABBIT CYCLE - Meditation - Wind Machines (Free Porcupine Society) See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Calvin Johnson

    Zum Podcast Episode 22 - Calvin Johnson  ----------- Despite some technical glitches, I managed to preserve most of my conversation with Calvin Johnson. If you're not familiar with K Records and Beat Happening (which comprise the last chapter of Our Band Could Be Your Life), he's also been in the bands Dub Narcotic Sound System, Go Team, Hive Dwellers, and solo performance. We're driving across the new Bay Bridge and talk about comedy in Olympia and the Bay, major injuries, theater, the early days of punk, and of course K Records (including the Neo Boys reissue). Special thanks to Jaime and Thorsten for bringing Calvin to town and helping me close out the show. ------------ HIGH CASTLE - After God - Spirit of the West (Zum) (intro music)  HALO BENDERS - Don't Touch My Bikini - God Don't Make No Junk (K)  BEAT HAPPENING - Our Secret - Beat Happening (K)  HIVE DWELLERS - Get In - Get In EP  (K)  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
