NoMeansNo Thing

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.

Ep 52 - Back on Track!

Ep 52 – Back on Track!  We’re back, babeeee!  Back in the saddle and ready to sling our bullshit once again.  This week we tackle I Need You vs. Manic Depression and Faceless May vs. Forward to Death.  Yet again the Terrible Machine pulls a fast one on us and pits two Rob Epics against two rip roaring bursts of joy.  What will win out? Will there be fights?  Will there be blood?  

Ep 51 - Strangey has Left the Meeting

We are joined by the excellent Andy Sandall this week, contributor to the upcoming “From Obscurity to Oblivion” book by Jason Lamb, and knower of many much NMN lore and history.  And, to the delight of many I’m sure, Andy excoriates those of us deserving of such on the pod for our lack of Oh No Bruno! Love. Look folks there was a lot of drinking in this episode.  A lot.  Too much.  Too much is not enough!  It’s 3 hours.  I’m sorry. I’m really very very sorry.  You’ll want to break this one into chunks probably.  Or start listening and at some point just say “yeaaaaaaah, I’m gonna come back to this one later” and then don’t.  But you should, because Andy opens up some really great discussions and has some really interesting thoughts on these songs.  Oh yeah the songs!  It’s a doozy.  Now vs. Beauty and the Beast, and Sex Mad vs. 0+2=1.  I mean, come on.  The votes are real nail biters this time, with some honest to god drama.  And Jordon heartily apologies for his misuse of the term Archipelago.  I’m fully aware that an Archipelago is a land mass and not a musical term.  Honest.

Episode* - Ruminations of a Lovely Irish Child

Peace be upon ye, Nomeansnerds. Recent events have made it complicated for us to brew you some new derring-do. But quail not, true believers! Hero of the show and Very Special Boy, Sean MacTiernan, had too much to say to be condensed into a tidy email, so instead decided to bestow upon us a scant sample of his decades of thinking about, and subsequently blithering about, our favourite band. Sean is a podcaster of some experience and also dude can confabulate. We found his offering moving, thought-provoking, and hilarious. We hope you do too.

Sean's most recent podproject is called SFULTRA, in which he, not historically a SF kind of feller, bought 100 SF novels and reviews them in an attempt to convince himself to like these genres. Available on whatever podthing you use. 

Ep 50 - Three Goombahs and a Lambo

This week we are joined by esteemed Jason Lamb, of the upcoming NMN Book "From Obscurity to Oblivion!"  It's good to be back in the saddle, sorry this one was late.  We cut you off a juicy slice.  Being as this is round 2, no vote is easy, this week is no exception.  It's Oh No Bruno!! vs. Tired of Waiting, and Brother Rat/What Slayde Says vs. Dead Bob.  At this point at least half of you will be pissed at our choices.  And for one pairing in particular probably about 9/10ths of you.  Anyway.  You love us. Enjoy!

Ep 49 - NoMeansNoThing to See Here, Move Along!

There is absolutely nothing interesting or unusual about this episode.  At all.  Best to just move along.  No need to get excited or hyped or anything like that because, in fact, there is nothing to get excited about.  So, just, you know skip this one or whatever.  Don't listen right away, don't drop what you're doing and immediately binge this 2:45 minute episode.  Because, as I've said, and I can't stress this enough, there is nothing, absolutely nothing, remarkable.  At all.  OK WE INTERVIEW ROB WRIGHT IN THIS EPISODE HOLY SHIRT BALLS!!!!!!

Ep 48 - Sneakin’ by in the Dark: A Flume County Story

I think we get our legs back underneath us this episode.  It was a fun one to do.  Unfortunately, no guest this week, but that will return next ep (we hope!).  This week sees This Wound Would Never Heal vs. Hunt the She Beast and More ICBMs vs. No Rest for the Wicked.  

Ep 47 - How fcekud up could a pod end up if a Chuck Wood fkuecd one up?

Do you hear the angels singing?  That's the start of...Round 2!!!  We're back, hopefully on a regular cadence although we make no promises.  None.  Zero.  We start off with a bang, bringing in friend of the podcast Chuck Wood to join us in making the impossible choices.  This round starts off with Victim's Choice vs. Real Love, and Small Parts vs. Rich Guns.  Which songs will come out on top?  Can we make it through a whole episode (this question is truly up for debate).  We're glad to be back, we've missed ya.

Spetshul Episerd: Interview with Becky Blackof the killer Pack (A.D)

We sit down with Becky Black of the AMAZING 'Pack (A.D)', to talk about touring with NMN, and dive deep and go wide into a bunch of subjects.  We want to apologize to the listeners, and to Becky, for the bad sounding audio in this episode.  We had to record over Zoom, and...well, it's trash.  But, the interview is still great, so have a listen!  And if you aren't already a fan of the Pack (A.D.), what the hell is wrong with you?

Ep 46 - The Flumenator™®

We wrap up our bottle episode on The Sky Is Falling and I Want My Mommy, selecting two more winners, and then pitting all of the champions in a death match which will leave only two!!!  Come on, you already know which two songs are going through, don't be coy.
