NoMeansNo Thing

Ep 62 - Spiritual Nudeness

The pod is back, and we've brought our lunch.  Every time this gets fricken harder.  This week it's Mary vs. Some Bodies, and Kill Everyone Now vs. Obsessed.  I mean...come on.  What the hell are we even doing!?!  Anyway, these songs are great, all of them, and they all deserve to be lionized.  Which we do.  A lot.

Ep 61 - The BiPolar Order

Hey NoMeansNerds!  It's such a great time to be a fan of this band!  The new book as released and is in the wild, Dead Bob is out there KILLING IT on tour (with a wider tour coming soon), and the general feeling is one of 'hell yeah the NoMeansRenaissance is in full swing!'  In that vein we're THRILLED to bring you an interview with Paweł Homiński and Anna Mach, who are responsible for the Polish translation and publishing of the new book by Jason Lamb, From Obscurity to Oblivion.  Paweł and Anna join Matthew in his garage, where we get to hear about their story, and hear about the experience of getting From Obscurity to Oblivion out to one of the bands most fervent and loyal fanbases.  Enjoy!

Ep 60 - Zar Wars: Return of the Cheti

THESE ARE THE WRONG ENDINGS!!!!  Holy crap, this gets harder each week.  Listener, I already have deep regret about a vote here.  I don't think it's the Wrong vote, but man, it's hard to sit with.  Michelle has stopped speaking to me.  Many of you will come after at least half of the hosts this week.  We are THRILLED to welcome back the wonderful Mr. Chet Zar, incredible artist and erudite NMN fanatic.  We promised Mr. Zar he could return when a certain song came up, and came up it did.  This week it's Big Dick vs. My Politics and All Lies vs. I Am Wrong.  I mean, YOU choose between these songs, see how good YOU feel about it.  Jeez.  Thanks to Chet for returning, and thanks to all of you for continuing to listen to us even after we vote off what is sure to be a favorite of some of you.  That's going to keep happening.  It's the nature of this dumb format we chose.  Sorry.

Ep 59 - Q: Do you know the meaning of? A: Dis a nub, dis a nub

BIG songs this week, spanning three albums and many NMN moods.  Every week gets harder and harder (that's what she said).  This week is It's Catching Up vs. Dark Ages and Two Lips, Two Lungs and One Tongue vs. The Fall!  Get your axes sharpened, as at least 50% of you will come away pissed.

 

Ep 58 - Dead Bob John W.

Well, we did it again!  We managed to corner one of the Wrights and demand they speak to us and answer our increasingly inane questions.  There is a lot to dig into in this interview, with John giving some great insight into his amazing new project Dead Bob, news on the upcoming tour, and some tantalizing bits about upcoming projects.  Grab a fork and dig in folks!!!!

Ep 57 - Rogaine Psychosis

We are joined by amazing artist and bonafide NMN fanatic Chet Zar!  The songs this week whip ass, the discussion is spirited and, if I don't say so myself, excellent.  Sidling up to the bar is Mama's Little Boy vs. Body Bag and Give Me the Push vs. A Little to High.    Damn it.  Freakin' hurts more and more as these gems come before us and bare their necks.  But as I remind Chet at a key moment, none of this fucking matters, and our votes mean nothing.  So, grain of salt and all that.  Enjoy y'all!

Ep 56 - Order! Order! Order!

What a bunch of songs!  None of them deserve the boot, but two the boot must receive:  I Can't Stop Talking vs. The Tower and Metronome vs. The Graveyard Shift.  Man, this was a fun episode, and we love talking about these songs, but jebus it really hurts to say goodbye to some of these!  Will the best song survive?  Well, they are all great songs, so by definition, yes?  I dunno.  Sometimes I write these things in a hurry.

Ep 55 - Campfire Song

Grab them weenies and 'mellows, impale them on a sharp stick and slowly roast them over a blazing fire kids!  This week is...this week...the songs...well...hmmm.  Look, The Terrible Machine(tm) decided to let a bunch of scrappy little fuckers have at it.  Don't get us wrong, there are good songs here, but none you might expect to see in Round 2 or certainly to make it to Round 3 (with one notable exception I think). Any way, it's Baldwang Must Die vs. Life in Hell and No Fckng vs. Now It's Dark.  Yeah, us neither. 

Ep 54 - Paradise Lols

A true and proper episode this time gents and germs and ladies and lice and all in-between and outside.  This week it's Paradise vs. Lost, and Ya Little Creep vs. Joyful Reunion.  Some scrappy little toughs take up their knives against some bonafide Kaiju, trying to pull some real David and Goliath shit.  Will these upstart more obscure scrappy little fucks take out their towering challengers with some well placed jabs and good luck?  Listen in and find out.

Ep 53 - The one where Jordon proselytizes about Book of the New Sun

Hey nerds.  This is NOT a 'real' episode.  We normally would have just stayed dark this week while Michele is off gallivanting about having a 'life' or some shit, but instead, after podcast listener Emelie all but BEGGED Jordon to do an episode proselytizing about his favorite book of all time (soon to be yours) Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe, he couldn't resist the call, and sat in front of the microphone and blathered about this book for, oh, about 20 mins.  I dunno.  You can probably skip it.  Except for Emelie.  You made me do this.
