Megaptera – The Curse of the Scarecrow Oct 14, 2020

Show notes

Halloween season creeps on and we discuss a very fitting album for the autumn atmosphere — “The Curse of the Scarecrow” by Megaptera.

Horror Talk with Black Leather Jesus Oct 07, 2020

Show notes

We have entered October, the best month of the year, and wanted to do something different to kick off the Halloween season, so we decided to do a special horror movie episode with Black Leather Jesus. Sean, Richard, and the three of us selected some of our horror favorites and had a round robin discussion. Be a fly on the wall for an after-show hang out with noise and movie fanatics.

Also, today (October 7th, 2020) NOISEXTRA have released our first video podcast discussing THE NEW BLOCKADERS for Tusk Festival – it will be played at Noon PST and repeat 12 hours later (Midnight PST) after its initial broadcast for those who missed it!

In Conversation with Orphx Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

With the upcoming “Fragmentation” 4 LP set on Hospital Productions, we had the pleasure to chat with Christina Sealey and Rich Oddie of Orphx. We go into their early days of warehouse shows and noise culture. A fascinating look at a pocket of sound experimentation emanating from a small Canadian enclave, Orphx are one of the most unique noise projects of any era.

In Conversation with Dominick Fernow, part 2 Sep 23, 2020

Show notes

In part two of our discussion with Dominick Fernow, we get into his first months in Providence, leading up to a pilgrimage to Lowell, MA on Halloween 1999. Before leaving for Providence, Dominick tells a story of attempting to book a show for a noise legend in Madison. Grab a walkman and some noise tapes and come along for some more invaluable noise history.

Noisextra is assisting Hospital Productions to compile a live Prurient box set commemorating the 25th anniversary of the project. If any listeners have a live recording, video or radio show from the years 1997-2006, please email gang@noisextra.com and we will go from there.

In Conversation with Dominick Fernow, part 1 Sep 16, 2020

Show notes

In the first of two episodes, Dominick Fernow joins us to discuss the very beginnings of Prurient and Hospital Productions. We begin the journey in ’90s Wisconsin as he navigates the worlds of death metal and techno, which eventually leads to the noise underground. While the three of us have all known Dominick for nearly two decades, we all learned plenty of new and incredible information about his most distant past. Join us for some highly enlightening noise history.

In Conversation with Erik Hoffman Sep 09, 2020

Show notes

It was an honor to have Erik Hoffman on to discuss his history in noise. We get into his special packaging obsession during his time running Pinch-a-Loaf, touring Japan with Spastic Colon, the story behind the legendary Ground Fault label and so much more. Another important lesson on noise from one of the originals.

Nightmarish – Utrecht Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

Drift back to the 16th century with us as we dig into the fantastic and obscure “Utrecht” album by Nightmarish. This episode is part noise and part history podcast with Tara going deep into the historical subject and themes of this record. Explore the darkness of the Spanish occupation of the Netherlands and be consumed by the veil of Nightmarish.

Recent Listening:
Eric La Casa “L’Empreinte de L’Ivresse
Low Jack “Garifuna Variations”
Vatican Shadow / Salford Electronics “Temple Gas Mask”
Emil Beaulieau “Polio”
Radiosonde “Somnambul”
S-Core “Shedder”

Government Alpha – Sporadic Spectra Aug 26, 2020

Show notes

Somehow we had not yet covered a Ground Fault CD, so we rectify that with a wallop of a disc in the form of Government Alpha “Sporadic Spectra.” Pure Japanese harsh noise oozes from our speakers, sends us to science fiction futures, and cures Tara’s headache. Heed the opening warning signal and enter the harsh world of Government Alpha.

In Conversation with Scott Arford (Radiosonde) Aug 19, 2020

Show notes

We had the absolute pleasure to talk with Scott Arford and to dive into his work as Radiosonde and under his own name, as well as his part in the public access show “Fuck TV” and the legendary 7hz venue, studio, and label. In addition we talk zombie movies, static, and the importance of one particular fortune cookie. Another noise history lesson is underway, and you better take notes because there may be a pop up quiz down the line.
