Longplaya: AFI's The Art of Drowning

This week it was also my turn to do Pirate Cat's weekly radio special, LongPlaya. Each week a different DJ brings in their favorite record, and spends two hours playing the record along with supplementary material and discussion about songs, the record, and the band.

I focused on AFI's The Art of Drowning, which was released on Nitro Records in 2000. Along with the record, I played some of the band's influences, some interview clips, and B-sides, and talked about some aspects to the record you may not have been aware of.

Even if you think you might not be into AFI, take a listen, I'm sure I'll change your mind.

July 12, 2009: Plead the Fifth

Download this week's podcast: right click + "save as"

Despite some serious "technical difficulties" (such is the radio pirate life, I suppose), this week we heard from hardcore band Plead the Fifth, hailing all the way from Sacramento. They brought in a ton of music, I messed up attempting to play their vinyl, the CD player started skipping, then the external cable broke...maybe it just wasn't our night. Nonetheless, we had a total blast and got a chance to talk about the Sacramento scene as well as some of the band's favorite tour stories.

Download this week's podcast: right click + "save as"

This week I had my favorite Mannequin Factory guests EVER, east bay band Wolves & Thieves, back for another round of on-air banter and guest DJ-ing. They brought in their soon-to-be-released debut self-titled full length and played the entire album for all you lucky listeners. Don't worry, though, you'll be able to get your hands on the album yourself at the band's upcoming CD release party at Sub-Mission Art Space on the 12th. So download download download, and be sure to tune in next week for hardcore band Plead the Fifth, and a yet-to-be-confirmed-but-probably-happening appearance by For.The.Win.
