SNFU founders Marc and Brent Belke discuss band history, rare recordings, records, vinyl reissues on Trust Records , upcoming events at the Punk Rock Museum & more. Topics Include: Marc and Brent Belke join from Vancouver and Victoria to discuss SNFU's December 5th Punk Rock Museum exhibit and album re-release. The exhibit coincides with Trust Records' re-release of SNFU's debut album "...And No One Else Wanted to Play" with extensive extras. The re-release includes a 53-page booklet with rare photos, interview excerpts, and a full record of early demos and alternate versions. The exhibit features band paraphernalia, posters, t-shirts, and artwork, originally displayed at a Saskatchewan museum last summer before moving to Vegas. Marc and Brent will provide guided tours at the Punk Rock Museum and participate in a roundtable discussion on December 5th. The brothers describe Edmonton's early 1980s scene as intimate with only 50 people, mixing new wave, rockabilly, and emerging hardcore sounds. Getting punk records in Alberta meant ordering from New York stores via mail, waiting two months, and receiving only 25% of selections. Pivotal records included Bad Brains' ROIR cassette, Let Them Eat Jellybeans compilation, Sex Pistols' debut, and Minor Threat's Out of Step. The LA hardcore scene heavily influenced SNFU, with bands like Circle Jerks, Social Distortion, and Youth Brigade making significant impressions. SNFU formed when Marc and Brent's band lost members, recruiting bassist Curtis and drummer Evan Kaufmann based on personality over experience. Singer Chi Pig brought irreverent humor and sarcastic lyrics that became central to SNFU's identity and separated them from serious hardcore bands. The band recorded their debut album in two weeks with limited preparation, creating the raw energy that defined their sound. Early SNFU combined hardcore speed with melodic elements, drawing from both aggressive punk and bands like The Damned and Buzzcocks. The band signed with BYO Records for their second album, appreciating the DIY ethos and direct artist-to-label relationship. SNFU toured extensively across North America, playing everywhere from established venues to DIY spaces and experiencing varied punk scenes nationwide. The brothers discuss how the band's legacy feels incomplete, with the Trust re-release helping emphasize positive aspects of their history. Brent left SNFU to attend music school, studying jazz and strings, and now works creating music for film projects. Marc emphasizes Trust Records' meticulous approach, taking four years to perfect the release compared to SNFU's tendency to rush. Both brothers have never visited the Punk Rock Museum and look forward to experiencing it while giving tours on December 5th.

In an extraordinarily rare interview, artist Raymond Pettibon discusses his journey, from early punk rock works to present day artistic themes, technique and rhythms, the Getty archives and more. Topics Include: Raymond Pettibon has been drawing constantly since childhood, "always with a pen in hand" Started with crayons, pastels, pencil - India ink came later as too messy Early influences included Albrecht Dürer, etchings, and comic book art equally Self-taught artist who learned through trial and error, never attended art school Studied economics in college, bringing analytical thinking to his art practice Approaches work as fine art, not commercial art, values creative freedom Rarely takes commissions - the more constraints, the less he likes it Band artwork usually selected from existing drawings rather than commissioned pieces Black Flag's "Nervous Breakdown" images came from his "Captive Chains" book Artwork inspired by "Blackboard Jungle" film - students destroying teacher's jazz records Has experience teaching, can identify with teacher-student conflicts from that period Left SST Records in 1985-86 due to oppressive environment Describes certain subjects he returns to repeatedly over the decades Works on multiple drawings simultaneously, some remaining unfinished for years Enters a meditative "fugue state" when drawing or writing Never experiences artist's block - blank paper doesn't intimidate him Believes he can write about any subject with natural fluency Doesn't plan series - they develop organically through returning to themes Sometimes works directly on gallery walls during exhibitions for coherence Used to work all day and night when deeply engaged Dislikes deadlines - they make work harder, not easier for him Sees deadlines as triggering psychological rebellion despite wanting to please collectors Hates when people suggest ideas - it "breaks the spell" Admits he's not the greatest draftsman but learned on the job Recently donated personal archive to Getty Research Institute for scholarly access Participated in Getty's research scholar program, one artist among academics Program reconnected him with economics after years away from the discipline Still has unfinished drawings in studio, some over 30 years old Currently creating less due to frustrations with art world dynamics Values complete artistic freedom - no curator has ever asked him to change High resolution version of this podcast is available at: www.Patreon.com/VinylGuide Photo by John Newsom Apple: https://tinyurl.com/tvg-ios Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/tvg-spot Amazon Music: https://tinyurl.com/tvg-amazon Support the show at Patreon.com/VinylGuide

Mesmerized by grooves holding information, felt more futuristic than digital files. Got Project turntable in college, started seriously collecting vinyl records. College dorm had file sharing programs to download everyone's music collections. Became obsessed with seven-inch singles and exclusive B-side hunting on Discogs.

Artist Dan Curran created lino cut covers for first thirty Greenway releases. Met LA Witch outside Music Hall, promised European tour records in two months. LA Witch success led to more touring bands wanting Greenway releases. Met Levitation founder Rob Fitzpatrick backstage at Desert Daze festival in California.

Paul Riedl and Morris Kolontyrsky of Blood Incantation discuss the incredible 1st year of the album "Absolute Elsewhere", how it's transformed their lives and art, the creation of the record, the band's deep interest in vinyl collecting and lots more. Enter to win a signed vinyl copy of "Absolute Elsewhere" by becoming a sponsor at Patreon.com/VinylGuide Topics Include: Absolute Elsewhere transformed their lives: bigger venues, mainstream press, entirely new audiences. Album allows new stage production; band already writing faster than ever before. Now headlining shows in US; Europe tours were always headliners, just smaller. Forbes called it one of most important death metal records in history. Record serves as gateway, exposing listeners to extreme metal and progressive influences. Vinyl LP format is their artistic endpoint; last two albums are side-long tracks. Twenty-minute sides provide perfect breathing room for their narrative-driven compositions and riffs. Maxed out Pro Tools voices at Hansa Studios during Absolute Elsewhere recording sessions. First three records recorded live on analog tape; complete takes, minimal punch-ins. Absolute Elsewhere used hybrid approach: drums on tape, then built digitally with Arthur. Recording live on tape creates collective synergy and tension they want captured. Band uses Oblique Strategies cards; asks "what would Trey, Chuck, or Eno do?" Paul designs all layouts; collects test pressings and creates prototype covers himself. Searching for roughly 200 more records; has specific rare pressings in mind. Weakling's Dead as Dreams LP extremely rare; basement flood destroyed most copies. Double album versus double LP distinction: complementary discs versus interrupted single work. Songs start with riffs that suggest where to go; excitable band keeps moving. Timewave Zero was critical palate cleanser enabling more holistic collaborative approach forward. Tangerine Dream collaboration manifested unexpectedly; Thorsten used vintage Edgar Froese Mellotron samples. Future dreams include Brian Eno, Steve Roach; already have secret collaborations lined up.

SWANS founder Michael Gira discusses his final orchestrated album "Birthing," his creative process, and plans to transition to a simpler musical approach after decades of creating intense, transcendent live performances. Topics Include: Michael introduces "Birthing" as SWANS' final orchestrated album. Future SWANS work will be much simpler. He's 71 and finds intense performances physically demanding. No clear vision yet for his next musical phase. SWANS will tour US in October, then Europe. He finds Australian tours difficult due to jet lag. Triple vinyl/double CD includes concert film and documentary. Marco Porzia filmed the SWANS documentary. Christopher Nicholson filmed a solo performance in Norway. Great shows happen when "the music plays us." Natural venue acoustics enhance the performance experience. Songs transform and lengthen throughout tours. One song evolved to 82 minutes during tour. Three-hour sets leave performers exhausted afterward. Songs begin on acoustic guitar before band elaboration. He listens to guitar sound hole to hear potential harmonics. Directs band through gestures during live performances. The recording happened immediately after European tour ended. Uses same old Guild acoustic guitar for decades. Vinyl editions required some song edits for length. Gira doesn't listen to much music anymore. He art directs all SWANS releases personally. Created unique limited editions with handmade elements. Has done crowdfunding since 2000 for recording budgets. Once recorded personalized songs for top contributors. Will miss the elation of building live crescendos. No current plans for more fiction writing. Reluctant to write autobiography despite family encouragement. Can mentally play entire album from memory. Recently rediscovered early Led Zeppelin's brilliance. Order the SWANS LP "Birthing" here.

"your mother is a ballpoint pen thief" came naturally in writing process. falco describes songwriting as writing 1000 bad songs to get 10 good ones. performing gives falco confidence he doesn't have in other social settings. the current mclusky lineup consistently delivers intense live performances. "mclusky do dallas" remains their most popular album by far. steve albini recorded both "do dallas" and "the difference between me and you..." "lightsaber cocksucking blues" started as a throwaway whole lotta rosie parody. the line "flying is fearful of me" just emerged while performing. "she will only bring you happiness" had radio potential until "sex criminal" line. self-sabotage is part of mclusky's essence, even when unintentional. falco considers swearing an essential part of rock music. australia has been mclusky's strongest market since early in their career. melbourne, sydney and brisbane show strongest streaming numbers for mclusky. the band has toured australia approximately ten times since 2002. prescriptions music is falco's label for future of the left and christian fitness. falco considers mclusky "mostly my band" but credits all members' contributions. damien sayell (current bassist) recently recovered from a health scare. jack egglestone (drummer) has jazz training and remarkable listening skills. mclusky reunion began with charity shows for venues like le pub in newport. the current lineup feels like a distinct band, not future of the left playing mclusky songs. recording the new album was spread across three weekends over 18 months. bob weston remastered "mclusky do dallas" giving it a different sheen. future of the left albums and more christian fitness reissues are planned. their favorite songs on the new album are those recorded most recently. the name "mclusky" came from a character in british tv show "grange hill." order the new mclusky album here commercial free, high resolution version of this podcast is available at: www.patreon.com/VinylGuide listen on apple: https://apple.co/2Y6ORU0 listen on spotify: https://spoti.fi/36qhlc8

Damian Kulash of OK Go discusses his evolution from punk music fan, working with Dischord records, and creating boundary-pushing music, vinyl packaging and viral videos Topics Include: New album " And The Adjacent Possible " available for streaming now. Discussion about physical media's role in OK Go's output. OK Go primarily known for videos that "live in the ether." Damian was into physical record packaging during college years. First record was Herbie Hancock's "Rockit," bought at Tower Records. Young Damian damaged the record trying to scratch like DJ. Later played with Herbie Hancock at Obama's 50th birthday party. Musical journey from hip-hop through Prince, Beatles, Led Zeppelin. DC punk scene was influential, with bands playing in cafeterias. Started Level Records at age 15,with funding from Dischord Records. Ian MacKaye lent teenager Damian money to start label. Level Records produced 7-inches and compilation CDs for friends' bands. College made running a record label difficult for Damian. Studied art semiotics at Brown University. Worked as NPR radio engineer and Photoshop retoucher after college. Indifferent to Napster's rise during OK Go's early days. Band finances operated like "roadrunner off the cliff" cartoon. Discussion about gift economy model working for the band. Belief that making things you love matters most, not success. Music sometimes gets overshadowed by video's visual impact. Videos gave OK Go longevity beyond typical radio-hit bands. New album theme explores Stuart Kaufman's "adjacent possible" concept. OK Go doesn't have unified sound; band is "like a mixtape." Treadmill video was originally made for "nerdiest fans" only. Videos aim to create real events that connect with viewers. Physical pressings of OK Go albums are costly in secondary market. New vinyl features elaborate pop-up sphere in custom packaging. Hidden track on second album deliberately blocked copy-protection software. Record label "Paracadute" means parachute in Italian. Ten-year album gap wasn't intentional; life and pandemic happened. Directed " The Beanie Bubble " film with his wife for Apple. Film directing different from making music videos; less adrenaline-driven. Video production typically takes 3-6 months from concept to completion. Some video ideas abandoned when technology made them commonplace.

TV writer & Record Collector Andrew Reich discusses his decade-long journey creating a documentary about Los Angeles music legends Redd Kross and the McDonald brothers' musical partnership. Topics Include: How Andrew made the leap from TV writing to filmmaking. Wife's suggestion sparked the documentary idea. Heard Steve McDonald's abduction story on a podcast. TV writing different from documentary making - can't control narrative. Documentary structure doesn't follow traditional storytelling beats. Director learned new storytelling techniques through editing. Documentary required extensive collaboration with editor Aaron Elders. Filming spanned approximately 10 years (2015-2025). Jeff McDonald's hairstyle changed dramatically throughout filming. Andrew discovered Redd Kross through "Teen Babes from Monsanto" album. Became fan at 13, requesting records for radio station. Redd Kross connects diverse bands from Black Flag to Go-Go's. Director considers Redd Kross one of Los Angeles' greatest bands. Documentary coincided with band's current renaissance and revival. Making the movie spurred new Redd Kross creative activity. Band created "Born Innocent" song specifically for the film. Initial filming was sporadic until Kickstarter provided funding. Created oral history structure from interview transcripts. Collected extensive archival material throughout production process. Film deliberately kept under 90 minutes for accessibility. Cut "Desperate Teenage Love Dolls" section despite importance. Film focuses on brothers' relationship rather than complete history. Steve's abduction possibly influenced band's fantasy/dress-up aesthetic. Andrew admires documentaries like "Anvil" and "Dig." Avoids rock critics in documentaries, preferring eyewitness accounts. Parents' interview about abduction was emotionally challenging. Wishes he had footage of certain legendary shows. New photographs emerged after film completion for eventual Blu-ray. Describes record collecting journey starting in New Jersey. Now focuses on first pressings of albums he loves. Sold unnecessary records to fund first pressing purchases. Australian bands currently producing best new punk music. Prefers seeing smaller shows over expensive arena concerts. Purchased rare Redd Kross/White Flag split single. Film rentals now available worldwide at reddkrossfilm.com/rent Rent "Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story" here.

Topics Include: Introduction of Lance Barresi, Daniel Hall, and Lenny Kaye. Lenny explains discovering Brown Acid at Other Music in Manhattan. Lenny compares Brown Acid's impact to how Nuggets defined garage rock. Discussion of what makes Brown Acid unique in music archaeology. How Jac Holzman gave Lenny the original idea for Nuggets. Daniel and Lance never expected Brown Acid to reach 20 volumes. Track-by-track discussion of Brown Acid Volume 20 begins.

Most Brown Acid records didn't come with picture sleeves. Discussion of Polvo, the first Mexican band on Brown Acid. Other international acts include bands from Australia, Sweden, UK, Canada. Three primary regions for Brown Acid music: Youngstown, Detroit, Texas. Osage Lute from Missouri is Lance's hometown connection. Osage Lute drummer Mike Lusher preserved extensive band history materials. Frozen Sun's "Jamm Pt 1" was from original master tape. Some records are so rare they have no Discogs sales history. Many original artists don't remember details about their recordings. Lenny mentions difficulty finding information when creating original Nuggets. The Banana Bros record isn't even listed on Discogs. Surprising connection: Banana Bros member was father of Permanent Records performer. Many Brown Acid discoveries happen through impossible coincidences. A horror movie soundtrack led to discovering one Brown Acid track. B-sides often better fit the Brown Acid aesthetic than A-sides. Lance must track down artists for proper licensing for each song. Some negotiations take years to complete. Nick Townsend credited for consistent audio mastering across compilations. RTI pressing plant provides consistent quality for Brown Acid vinyl. Paul Major writes the colourful track descriptions for Brown Acid. Lenny wrote the foreword for Brown Acid Volume 20's deluxe edition. Brown Acid 20th anniversary release party happening at Permanent Records Roadhouse. DJ Mr. Dibs creating special Brown Acid mixtape to celebrate milestone.

Australian icon Tex Perkins takes us through his legendary career, from The Cruel Sea & The Beasts recent works, to wild ARIA award nights, his atrocious habits with vinyl records, reissuing his works on vinyl and lots more. Topics Include: Tex Perkins rehearsing with The Cruel Sea for upcoming gigs. Bringing back "deep cuts" from 30 years ago. Band already prepared the songs before his arrival. Feels like "personal karaoke" returning to old material. Gains fresh perspective on older songs with time. Sometimes writes songs instinctively, not from personal experience. Song "Hard For You" channeled rage he hadn't experienced. Recorded with Kid Congo Powers from Bad Seeds. ARIA Awards incident clarified - didn't stab anyone.

Legendary producer Eddie Kramer shares the history and legacy of Electric Lady Studios , the revolutionary space built for Jimi Hendrix's creative genius - from its groundbreaking design, Hendrix's final sessions, to the incredible impact this iconic studio had on rock music history. Topics Include: Electric Lady wasn't just a studio; it was Jimi Hendrix's creative sanctuary. Back in the '70s, having your own studio as a rock artist was unheard of—Jimi changed that. They transformed a basement nightclub into a cutting-edge studio, unlike anything else at the time. Jimi lived just blocks away—he'd walk over with his guitar and just dive into creating. The vibe at Electric Lady was pure Jimi—his vision made it an extension of himself. Eddie and the team prepped the studio for 24-tracks, even though it started at 16. The studio had custom innovations, like seating designed to keep friends out of sightlines. Hendrix loved working fast, and Electric Lady let him capture that energy in every session. Hendrix recorded there for four months before heading to Europe—and never returned. The documentary gives a glimpse of that magical time, full of outtakes and alternate mixes. Kramer talks about how they audited tapes and recorded new songs, blending old and new ideas. Fun fact: The round windows in the studio doors? Jimi's idea. He loved to keep things unique. The Village was Jimi's playground—he could walk around without being bothered. Eddie recalls marathon sessions with Jimi, cracking jokes between takes, always keeping it light. Hendrix was a master at balancing creativity and fun—there was always laughter in the room. Eddie mixed a lot of iconic music at Electric Lady, including tracks from David Bowie and Zeppelin. Hendrix wanted to expand his sound with strings and horns—his musical vision kept growing. The final sessions at Electric Lady were intense, but full of joy and excitement. Electric Lady still has the same vibe, with a layout that's barely changed in over 50 years. The five LP box set coming out captures the magic of those original sessions—essential listening. Hendrix built Electric Lady to be his personal space, and it became a landmark for music history.

What about inserts, special LP additions, etc Ability to change album details if new information arises Vinyl has much more complexity than other graded items VMG Focuses only on facts, cannot state assumptions How VMG labels promotional copies Their sources for determining authentic pressings and info Not relying on crowd-sourced materials Does VMG do play-testing? Hot-stampers may not be right for VMG The impact of the plastic case on records and covers Can the plastic case be opened? Autographed records, backstage passes, etc Will they work with acetates and test pressings?
