Show notes

WPRB DJ and Comedy Minus One impressario Jon Solomon joins Protonic Reversal by phone to give a master class in conducting radio shows, preparation and building moods, digging deep on what you love and exactly how one conducts yearly 25 hour straight Christmas special. He also speaks about his current label Comedy Minus One (which is *NOT* a comedy label) and his old one My Pal God. And his formative influence: Wings – At The Speed of Sound.

Ep035: John Congleton (Producer, the pAperchAse) Jan 01, 2015

Show notes

Happy New Year! From Protonic reversal. Neutron and Brenna drag their bedraggled persons into the studio to talk to Mr. John Congleton. Legendary producer and the pAperchAse/Nighty Night Impressario. There is much talk of St. Vincent and Grammys, Explosions in the Sky, Swans, John Darnielle, production process, art by democracy, and such. As well as why there is no pt.2 to Someday This Will All Be Yours. Also a hilariously loopy first hour. Yoga dude yells at Brenna with cartoons smell waves of piousness, awake at the Wicking hour. “That’s gross”, Terry Malts mash pits, etc. Come on! he’s super interesting, we’re hilariously out of it… it’s a winner all around. 8:00am Ozark Bowtie (Opening Theme) by Tilts from Tilts 8:12am: New Year by Breeders from Last Splash 8:13am: Now We Can See by The Thermals from Now We Can See 8:29am: Wait Until I Get My Hands On You by the pAperchAse from Now You Are One Of Us 8:40am: The Common Cold (The Epidemic) by the pAperchAse from Someday This Could All Be Yours 8:43am: The Laying Of Hands the Speaking in Tongues (The Mass Hysteria) by the pAperchAse from Someday This Could All Be Yours 8:55am: You’re One of Them Aren’t You? by the pAperchAse from Now You Are One Of Us 8:57am: Birth In Reverse by St. Vincent from St. Vincent Interview with Mr. John Congleton 9:59am: The End of Radio by Shellac from Excellent Italian Greyhound

Show notes

Conan and Brenna get on the air, play some rock tunes and try their best to make sense of a world that just doesn’t seem to make much sense right now. They rock and roll and talk and troll. Facts vs. Frames and a world gone man. Consumerism and critical thinking, sensationalism and the fallacy or whatever of protest. <blockquote> 8:00am Demon Stuck In Your Eye by Le Butcherettes from Cry is For the Flies 8:00am Demon Stuck In Your Eye by Le Butcherettes from Cry is For the Flies 8:09am: Fell Runner by Survival Knife from Loose Power 8:20am: Snot Rocket by Motherfucker from Tae Kwon Do 8:23am: Politicians In My Eyes by Death from …For The Whole World to See 9:02am: The Shaman by Rutabega from Brother The Lights Don’t Work 9:04am: Outside a Hexagram by B.
