The first album by an American band to be released on British independent label 4AD, Throwing Muses' stunningly beautiful 1986 debut got this week's guest Ronnie Barnett (The Muffs) supremely and hopelessly high!

This week's returning guest, Canadian documentary filmmaker Alan Zweig, brings a record many before him have mentioned but never pulled the trigger to tackle.

S9E479 - Social Distortion 'Born To Kill' with Woody Compton
This week's returning guest, Woody Compton, brings us Social Distortion and their 2026 release 'Born To Kill'. Their first studio album in fifteen years, it's both a return to form and statement of purpose - and Woody makes the case that leader Mike Ness STILL has some fire in his belly and the songwriting chops to back it up.

S9E478 - Bill Nelson 'Quit Dreaming And Get On The Beam' with Kevin Chanel
This week's guest, record/hot sauce purveyor Kevin Chanel (Grooves Inspiralled Vinyl, El Enojado Hot Sauce), brings us singer, guitarist, songwriter, producer, painter, video artist, writer and experimental musician Bill Nelson (Be Bop Deluxe) and his 1981 solo release 'Quit Dreaming And Get On The Beam'. Originally recorded in 1979 as an intended follow up album to his 'Bill Nelson's Red Noise' project, EMI declined to release the recordings and the material remained unreleased until Bill licensed the original stereo mixes of the album to Mercury Records, who issued the album in the Spring of 1981. Already far ahead of the 80s New Wave curve, it's a futuristic, forward-looking art-pop gem of a record!
