Merzbow – I’m Proud By Rank of the Workers (with guest G.X. Jupitter-Larsen) May 01, 2019

Show notes

Legend G.X. Jupitter-Larsen of the Haters came over and we listened to “Live in Khabarvosk, CCCP” which has two recordings taken from a Russian jazz festival in 1988. Discussion of the sound is dispensed with quickly and G.X. provides many anecdotes and pieces of Merzbow, Haters and noise culture history.

Merzbow – Collapse 12 Floors (with guest Peter Rehberg / Pita) Apr 23, 2019

Show notes

Our 12th episode and it just so happens to be Collapse 12 Floors, with guest Peter Rehberg, best known for his project PITA and the essential Editions Mego label. Peter lends some insight into the dawn of the digital era by discussing Merzbow’s earliest released computer album with us. Get under a table or stand in a doorframe as we get shook.

Merzbow – Mercurated (with guest Russell Haswell) Apr 09, 2019

Show notes

Russell Haswell (Consumer Electronics, Satanstornade) stopped by while in town for a show to speak with us about 1996’s Mercurated CD on Alchemy Records. Russell gives insight about collaborating with Masami Akita, seeing him live for the first time, and the magic of Japanese-label Merzbow CDs.

Merzbow – Flare Gun (with guest Elden M) Apr 02, 2019

Show notes

For this strange 1994 12″ from UK label short-lived Ten Bob Swerver, we had Elden M (Allegory Chapel Ltd., Avellan Cross) over for a nice loud listen. Elden talks about joining Merzbow on stage, touring Japan in the 90s and we give our take on a weird record from the classic era of Merzbow, including a B side with the Masami/Reiko/Bara power-trio!

Merzbow – Amlux (with guest Ben Collins) Mar 26, 2019

Show notes

We finally dip our toes in the digital realm with 2002’s AMLUX on Important Records, chosen by screenwriter Ben Collins (Super Dark Times). This record takes the three of us different places: Connelly gets locked inside a parking garage, Greh confesses his foolishness regarding post-2000s Merzbow, and Ben comes up with a movie pitch for Die Hard, but in Japan.

Merzbow – Door Open at 8am (with guest Jim Haras) Mar 19, 2019

Show notes

Mike and Greh met up with Jim Haras (Deterge, Laureate) and listened to Merzbow’s 1999 jazz-sampling classic Door Open at 8am on Alien8. Be forewarned, the three of us LOVE this record and you can certainly tell (though maybe not from the photo). Fuel up the gas-guzzler and settle in for the long haul.
