Damn, this week\u2019s show is packed with great stuff!<\/p>\n
When I relaunched\u00a0solipsistic NATION<\/b>\u00a0as a podcast one of the first shows I did was a\u00a0documentary<\/a>\u00a0about\u00a0Nerdcore<\/a>. Shortly afterwards I learned that\u00a0Negin Farsad<\/a>\u00a0was also working on a documentary about the genre called\u00a0Nerdcore Rising<\/a>. The documentary was recently released and I knew I had to get Negin on the show to talk about her documentary.<\/p>\n Another person I\u2019ve wanted to get on\u00a0solipsistic NATION<\/b>\u00a0is drum and bass artist Panda. As luck would have it, Panda has put out a new album called\u00a0Retake Manhattan<\/a><\/i>\u00a0that simply rocks! Panda and I have been exchanging emails during the last year and I nailed a date to get hm on the line to talk about his new CD. It\u2019s rare to hear an electronic music concept album and Panda sails around the globe in a mere hour and ten minutes.<\/p>\n Speaking of new releases,\u00a0Meat Beat Manifesto<\/a>\u00a0has released a new album titled\u00a0Autoimmune<\/a><\/i>\u00a0that is so bass heavy that it could move a freight truck across a parking lot. Just imagine what it can do to your ears! I had the pleasure of seeing Meat Beat Manifesto last week and they put on an awesome show. They\u2019re on the last leg of their U.S. tour so visit their website to see if they\u2019re playing in your area. If you\u2019ve missed them, no worries, Jack will be on next week\u2019s show with a live recording of one of Meat Beat Manifesto\u2019s performances.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve mentioned previously that one of the blogs I frequently read is\u00a0Igloo Magazine<\/a>. I\u2019ve been talking with Pietro Da Sacco, Igloo\u2019s managing editor, and I asked him to come on this week\u2019s show to talk about his \u2018zine. Pietro will be back on\u00a0solipsistic NATION<\/b>\u00a0next month with a beautiful mix of electronic music that\u2019s going to make you weak at the knees.<\/p>\n A few months back\u00a0solipsistic NATION<\/b>\u00a0was picked up by\u00a0KYOURadio<\/a>\u00a01550 AM in San Francisco. KYOURadio plays an eclectic program of talk and music shows but what make the station truly unique that all the content comes from user generate content. That is to say, podcasts. I invited KYOURadio\u2019s station manager, Stephen Page, to come on today\u2019s show to talk about the station and the dramatic changes radio is currently going through.<\/p>\n Last, and by no stretch of the imagination, least, is an interview with Martin Rev and Alan Vega of\u00a0Suicide<\/a>. Alan and Martin are old school and began Suicide way back in the 70s. Often imitated but never duplicated, Suicide is one of the original proto-electronic music bands who have influenced genres such as techno, industrial and electroclash. Suicide was never ahead of their time, just that everyone else was behind the times and desperately trying to catch up to the path that Suicide was blazing.<\/p>\n Photo Credit:\u00a0pausetivespace<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n
