Check out my Podcast Side One/Side B with Dave & Steve, where my co-host and I show each other a different album from our collections. I try to pick weird off the beaten path records.
Still hard at work on my first solo album, Just Another Wonderful Day, the album is a wide mix of many different genres including stoner rock, sludge metal, post-punk, post-metal, prog-rock, EDM, Industrial & more. This will feature 10 songs. Single releases coming soon.

Side One/Side B with Dave & Steve
Dave brings in THE CRACKDOWN by CARBARET VOLTAIRE, and English electronic group that made really cool and experimental electronic music and were a very early pioneer in ELECTRONIC, DANCE, INDUSTRIAL, POST-PUNK, ACID HOUSE, & TECHNO. Additionally, we discuss how it features some parallels to some of the emerging hip-hop artists coming up across the pond at the same time, that we assume is coincidental.
This album was released in 1983 and is the first album that followed CHRIS WATSON's departure from the group, which results in an album that was somewhat more conventional that their past released, but still cold, disturbing, and alienating.
