The Dark Stuff

Dave Splash — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:08:22 GMT

Thanks for checking in once again with The Dark Stuff Podcast. For Volume 33, Dave tortures Keith with some of the best hard rock and metal from his youth, and threatens to make this a two part show that covers the rest of the decadent decade. The music: Black Sabbath - "The Mob Rules" Krokus - "Screaming in the Night" Iron Maiden - "Wrathchild" Mötley Crüe - "Bastard" KISS - "Creatures of the Night" W.A.S.P. - "I Wanna Be Somebody" Motörhead - "Over The Top (live)" Enjoy

Dark Stuff Vol. 32: Britpop

Dave Splash — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 13:24:17 GMT

Thanks for checking in again to The Dark Stuff podcast for #32. In this episode, I fully turned the reins over to Keith and let him program the tunes. He had carte blanche, and he decided to give you a brief introductory class on Britpop. Enjoy. The music: The Stone Roses - "I Wanna Be Adored" Suede - "The Drowners" Oasis - "Supersonic" Blur - "End of a Century" Shed Seven - "Speakeasy" Ocean Colour Scene - "Hundred Mile High City" Longpigs - "She Said"

Dark Stuff Vol. 31: Guilty Pleasures

Dave Splash — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 13:08:39 GMT

For episode 31, Dave and Keith (two life long punk and indie fans) bring you some of the guilty pleasures from the deepest, darkest caverns of their record collections. This is a fun show! To make it interesting, the songs are going to remain a mystery. You'll have to listen all the way through. Enjoy.

Dark Stuff Vol. 30: Covers!!

Dave Splash — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 15:44:38 GMT

Episode 30 of The Dark Stuff podcast is all covers. This is likely to be the first of many cover song themed shows that you can expect from us. Naturally, I found a way to get KISS in there, and Keith squeezed in Sisters of Mercy (for "balance" or some such nutty idea). Enjoy. The music: The Raincoats - "Lola" (The Kinks) Jenny Lewis - "Handle With Care" (Traveling Wilburys) The Cardigans - "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" (Black Sabbath) Patti Smith - "The Boy in the Bubble" (Paul Simon) KISS - "2000 Man" (Rolling Stones) Rooney - "Death On Two Legs" (Queen) Stiff Little Fingers - "The Message" (Grandmaster Flash) Jawbox - "It's Expected, I'm Gone" (Minutemen) The Sisters of Mercy - "1969" (The Stooges) Tom Waits - "The Return of Jacky and Judy" (Ramones)

Dark Stuff Vol. 29

Dave Splash — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 18:43:48 GMT

In light of all of the bad economic and job news these days, we have decided to devote Podcast 29 to songs about the bad economy. Never has the phrase, "I feel your pain" been so relevant. The music: Alex Chilton - "Lost My Job" ABC - How To Be a Millionaire" Radio 4 - "(Gimme All Your) Money" The Godfathers - "Birth, School, Work, Death" The Replacements - "God Damn Job" Drive-By Truckers - "Sink Hole" The Clash - "Career Opportunities" Billy Bragg - "Qualifications" Gang of Four - "To Hell with Poverty"

Dark Stuff Vol. 28

Dave Splash — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 15:47:54 GMT

For Dark Stuff Podcast #28, Dave and Keith bring you a short blast of some top indie rock from the last couple of years. After mentioning Nick Lowe in Podcast #27, he is given the honor of kicking off this episode. His song, "They Called It Rock," comes from his excellent 'Jesus of Cool' album, which was recently re-released in honor of its 30th anniversary. One quick note. On more than one occasion, we refer to Robbers On High Street as a British band. They're not. They're from New York. Not sure where the British idea came from, but obviously, a quick look at "the google" would have corrected that false impression. Sorry. The band still sounds like Spoon. We stand by that. The music: Nick Lowe - "They Called It Rock" Blur - "On Your Own" Robbers On High Street - "Japanese Girls" The Life and Times - "My Last Hostage" The Duke Spirit - "The Step and the Walk" French Miami - "Multi Caliber Rifles"

Dark Stuff Vol. 27

Dave Splash — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 17:11:33 GMT

After a very long delay (sorry about that), The Dark Stuff podcast returns with episode #27. It's the first episode of 2009, and there are some big changes! The main change comes in the form of a new co-host. You'll have to listen to get all the details. Since it has been a while since the last show, this one is extra long. The music: Sarandon - "Remember Mavis?" Graham Coxon - "Standing On My Own Again" You Am I - "Cathy's Clown" Echo & the Bunnymen - "Villier's Terrace" Annuals - "Confessor" French Kicks - "Sex Tourists" Pulp - "Sylvia" Gringo Star - "I Will Not Follow" Longwave - "No Direction" Blitzen Trapper - "God & Suicide" The Replacements - "Nowhere Is My Home"

Dark Stuff Vol. 26 - The Meices

Dave Splash — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:42:39 GMT

Podcast #26 spotlights the hard-drivin', pop-punk band, The Meices (www.myspace.com/themeicessf). The Meices formed in 1991 in San Francisco and quickly became the toast of the town. After some regional touring in the Northwest, the band was signed to Seattle's eMpTy Records. Due to the positive response toward their debut CD, Greatest Bible Stories Ever Told, and the favorable musical climate of the time, The Meices were signed to major label London Records for their second album, 1994's Tastes Like Chicken. Thanks to some praise from Beavis and Butthead and a soundtrack appearance on a Liv Tyler movie, The Meices were played on MTV, and the expectations for the next record were huge. Producer Gil Norton (Foo Fighters, Pixies) was enlisted to take the band to the next level. That third album, Dirty Bird, ended up being The Meices' final release. I caught up with guitarist/singer/songwriter Joe Reineke who took some time away from his recording studio to reminisce about his time in The Meices. In between the interview clips, I've got songs from all of The Meices albums as well as some rarities. The music (all songs by The Meices unless noted): Wow (from 'Dirty Bird') Don't Let The Soap Run Out (from 'Greatest Bible Stories Ever Told') Alex Put Something In His Pocket (from 'Greatest Bible...') Hey Little Punker (from 'Greatest Bible...') All Time High (from 'Tastes Like Chicken') Daddy's Gone To California (from 'Tastes Like Chicken') Disenchanted Eyes (from 'Dirty Bird') Uncool (from 'Dirty Bird') Ozzy (by Alien Crime Syndicate from 'Alien Crime Syndicate') He's Waiting (from 'V/A - Running On Fumes')

Dark Stuff Vol. 25

Dave Splash — Sun, 18 May 2008 16:41:32 GMT

Podcast #25 is dedicated to the short-lived Bay Area rock band Overwhelming Colorfast (www.myspace.com/overwhelmingcolorfast). The band formed in 1990 in Antioch, CA and was frequently compared to Hüsker Dü and The Buzzcocks. Six months after their first performance, the band was signed to an offshoot of Sony and in the studio with producer Butch Vig (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins). Colorfast toured throughout the US with artists like Ramones and Social Distortion, as well as on their own, but commercial success was not forthcoming. The band experienced a great deal of bad luck in their brief career, and Overwhelming Colorfast broke up in 1997. In this podcast, I interviewed band leader Bob Reed who tells the story of the band from its inception to its premature demise. In between interview clips, you will hear music from all three of the band's albums, plus a rare Minutemen cover. The music: Toss Up (from 'Two Words') Totally Gorgeous Foreign Chick (from 'Overwhelming Colorfast') It's Tomorrow (from 'Overwhelming Colorfast') Every Saturday (from 'Two Words') How Ya Doin' (from 'Two Words') Roy Orbison (from 'Two Words') Whizzer (from 'Sourdough EP') Starcrunch (from 'Moonlight and Castanets') How It Should Be (from 'Moonlight and Castanets') Corona (from 'Our Band Could Be Your Life')

Dark Stuff Vol. 24

Dave Splash — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 20:42:33 GMT

Welcome to podcast #24. This show is dedicated to the band Madder Rose. Madder Rose formed in NYC in the early 90s, and was heralded by the UK press as the second coming of Velvet Underground. The band balanced the noisy, driving guitar playing of Billy Coté with the angelic voice of lead singer Mary Lorson, and made some of the best indie music of the decade. After a poor reception to the band's final two albums, Madder Rose called it quits in 1999. I interviewed drummer Rick Kubic (aka Johnny Kick) for the show, and he tells the story of the band from its inception to its unceremonious ending. Songs from each of the band's albums are presented, as are a few rarities you might not have heard. If you were already a fan, this show should be a great nostalgia trip. If you weren't, you are about to have a new musical obsession. Good luck. One update: I incorrectly stated in the podcast that Piano Creeps (www.myspace.com/thepianocreeps) is an instrumental band. I meant experimental. There are vocals. Oops. The music: Swim (from 'Bring It Down') Beautiful John (from 'Bring It Down) 20 Foot Red (Peel Session - original version on 'Bring It Down') Sleep, Forever (from 'Panic On') Car Song (from 'Panic On') Happy New Year (from 'Panic On') My Star (from 'Tragic Magic') See Her Every Night (from 'My Star' single) Goodbye June Fool (from 'Hello June Fool') Feels Like Summer (from 'Hello June Fool')

Dark Stuff Vol. 23

Dave Splash — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 16:06:53 GMT

This episode is dedicated to the under-appreciated 90s band, The Mommyheads. The band existed from 1987 - 1997, released four full-length albums, one EP, and numerous singles. They began as something of an eclectic, arty, XTC-inspired pop band (think of 'English Settlement' for a reference) and gradually became a streamlined, polished, professional, rootsy rock band with enormous commercial potential (think of The Band). It didn't happen for them, however. Despite grabbing the attention of veteran record producer Don Was, and securing a contract with Geffen Records, the band was met with indifference by the late 90s music industry and had its career cut short after only one major label album. The music: Henry Miller Is Dead (from 'Flying Suit') I Started Breathing (live) (studio version from 'Coming Into Beauty') Spiders (from 'Flying Suit') Pig in a Blanket (from 'Bingham's Hole') Bingham's Hole (from 'Bingham's Hole) Jaded (from 'The Mommyheads') Screwed (from 'The Mommyheads')

Swervedriver (www.swervedriver.com) was one of the most important British bands of the last 15 years or so, and its former singer/guitarist, Adam Franklin (www.toshackhighway.com), has just released a stellar new solo album called Bolts of Melody. In between cuts from all of the Swervedriver albums, and the new CD, is an interview I conducted with Mr. Franklin where he discusses the legacy of his former band, what he has been working on since they broke up, and his plans for the future. He is currently in the midst of a US tour. Enjoy.

Dark Stuff Vol. 7

Dave Splash — Sun, 26 Nov 2006 04:37:29 GMT

Been under the weather a bit lately, and my voice is shot. So, this week's podcast is mixtape style -- no talking. Not only will you be missing my witty and insightful commentary, you will also be missing my personal musical selections. For this podcast, I let the computer pick! This is a 45 min slice in the life of my media player. Ahh...the wonders of shuffle. Consider this side A of our mixtape.

Dave Splash — Sun, 05 Nov 2006 03:06:38 GMT

As promised, here is the all KISS podcast. I decided not include any of the band's "hits" and instead focused on deeper album cuts. This barely begins to cover all of the great KISS classics, but I suspect I will be doing another KISS one in the future. If you already like KISS, this is just a reminder of their greatness. If you are not a fan, give these songs a try...it might change your mind.Enjoy. The music (all songs by KISS unless noted): Do You Remember Rock n Roll Radio? Charisma Mainline Dark Light Ozone (performed by Ace Frehley) Sweet Pain Firehouse (demo) Almost Human Getaway War Machine

You get my opinion on the music, and mine alone. There is also a little politcs, and a little humor (at least I like to think there is).
