Ep. 35 - Michael Alig May 15, 2017

Show notes

In this episode host Peter Agoston sat and spoke with guest Michael Alig in a candid look back on New York City nightlife - somewhere between the years 1985 and 1992, give or take. They talked about Alig's first parties at The Danceteria and his infamous work within Peter Gatien owned clubs: The Limelight, Palladium, Tunnel, Club USA. The Building, The Cooler, The World, and more. Established around this period was the nightlife-centric zine 'Project X', where Alig was co-editor (w/ Club Kid queen, Julie Jewels) documenting the scene from his vantage with the wry 'Club Rub' column. They spoke of Leigh Bowery, Tiny Tim, Vito Bruno, DJ Keoki and more. Illustrating further the deep-rooted NYC nightlife narrative. All while the two sift thru boxes of vintage party invitations.

Ep. 33 - Mr. Voodoo (Natural Elements) Apr 27, 2017

Show notes

Back with another very special episode of The House List, here we sat down with Brooklyn's own Mr Voodoo - yes, that Mr Voodoo (aka Agu Obiakor) of Natural Elements. We track the history from childhood to present day. Canvasing a NYC of another era, where Agu, became the 'poet laureate' of beloved late night radio show 'The Underground Railroad'. Hosted by J-Smooth on the revered WBAI 99.5, Agu honed his craft from intern to co-host, all the while developing what come to be one of the 'underground' hip-hop era's most respected voices. With only a few physical releases to speak of, Voodoo's notoriety grew across the globe through the 90's as demos and never-released songs made their way to NY radio and on cassettes copied and traded the world over. Voo's work as a soloist, with Natural Elements and for the imprint Fortress Records are sought after pieces of art on wax. For the fans and heads - this will be a treat and for those who many only come to know of his this very moment, we hope it'll lead you down a path of discovery. Just don't forget to subscribe and rate the podcast on iTunes and share freely with the world. Thank you!

Ep. 32 - Grand Buffet - Pt.2 (Lord Grunge) Apr 21, 2017

Show notes

... And just like that we follow-up with Part 2 of our very special, exclusive, Grand Buffet mini-series. Today we located big man Lord Grunge, deep in the hills of Pittsburgh for this candid, candor filled conversation. From his vantage point we try and track the history of the group, when Peter Agoston and GB connected, the importance of Gil Mantera's Party Dream, and the story behind his one-act play "Pittsburgh Batman". One thing is sure about Grand Buffet, beyond their comedic genius - is there deep love of music resonates vividly when you start talking to both of them. Dig into this great chat with two old buds who haven't seen one anudder in ages and don't forget to share this show with any other pals across the land whom may need to hear. Thank you! See you at the Friday Fish Fry!

Ep. 31 - Grand Buffet - Pt.1 (Mrs. Paintbrush) Apr 20, 2017

Show notes

As a very special two-part mini-series host Peter Agoston traveled to Pittsburgh, PA to locate the members of Grand Buffet, the influential, if not uncategorically brilliant Mrs. Paintbrush, f/k/a Grape-A-Don, p/k/a Jackson and Lord Grunge. Recorded separately, in different parts of the city, over the course of 2 days, the first episode finds Agoston and Jackson talking the vocalist's personal and professional history in great detail and aplomb. They hadn't seen each other in 10 years (as it goes for Lord Grunge and Peter), so, naturally, a lot needed to be discussed. Please make sure you listen to both conversations for the full experience! And don't forget to subscribe on iTunes or SoundCloud and if you are already a fan of Grand Buffet - please share with other GB fans that are wondering what happened to these frat bros.
