We Have A Technical

Join Alex and Bruce for a full-time Monster Mash of an episode of We Have A Technical! The Count from The Belfry Network and Cemetery Confessions drops by to talk about the ins and outs of running an in-depth podcast dedicated to examining all angles of gothdom, from the personal to the academic. Recent live show talk and a very special guest MC round out the dootiest, most spoopiest Halloween episode of the I Die: You Die podcast ever!

Every month we do a special Patreon supported bonus album commentary podcast, and for October we decided to talk about a record that is very important to the history of I Die: You Die, ∆AIMON's "Flatliner"! Not only does the Senior Staff dig into our long term thoughts and feelings on this classic dare-we-call-it witchhouse release, but we also go deep on what it means to us now that we know a little bit more about the still-mysterious duo. All brought to you with the kind assistance of our backers at patreon.com/idieyoudie.

This week on the idieyoudie.com podcast, Alex and Bruce are sitting down with Statiqbloom as their tour with Skeleton Hands and Crimes AM comes through Vancouver. Fade and Denman talk about bringing the fury and anger of Statiqbloom's atmospheric electro-industrial to the stage and plenty more!

Alex talks about the fun he had in Los Angeles at Das Bunker 21, and Bruce gets real worked up about Blade Runner on this week's episode of We Have a Technical. Yes, the senior staff have plenty to say about recent happenings and releases, and as luck would have it, they have a venue to hold forth on them. So pull up a chair, crack a beverage of some description and get ready for a particularly long edition of the official I Die: You Die podcast, straight from our gaping maws to your ears. 

Alex and Bruce tackle classic early albums from now-veteran acts who have new work on the docket in this week's episode of WHaT! Mentallo & The Fixer and mind.in.a.box's legacies stretching all the way back to "Revelations 23" and "Lost Alone" are considered as those two records are analyzed in their own timeframe and in the cold light of history. All that, the expected festival updates and the even more expected horsing around about sub-par fantasy novels await you, the listener, on the newest installment of the idieyoudie.com podcast.

Bruce and Alex are joined by friend of I Die: You Die Réal Cardinal of Comaduster to discuss his incredible recent album "Solace". The ins and outs of his creative process, the expansive universe in which the album takes place and the live translation all get chewed thoroughly over! Additionally we chat :Wumpscut:, some upcoming festivals and more on this week's episode of the www.idieyoudie.com podcast!  

On this special Patreon supported bonus podcast Bruce and Alex discuss Kirlian Camera mid-career highlight "Still Air (Aria Immobile)". We discuss the lyrical themes, the ongoing evolution of the band and how this particular record occupies a specific place in the long-running darkwave act's catalogue. 

It's the 175th episode of We Have A Technical, and to mark this somewhat (but not really) auspicious milestone, Alex and Bruce are discussing the pros and cons of "Savage", the new record by the namesake of the website and podcast, Gary Numan! How does this latest chapter in Numan's industrial-cum-synth rock renaissance compare with its predecessors? Find out on this, the latest episode of the I Die: You Die podcast.

We got takes on albums by Zentriert Ins Antlitz and Imperative Reaction on this week's episode, along with some discussion of the 3 Teeth 9/11 controversy and a couple more upcoming albums for the last third of 2017. Thrill to the discussion, chill to the pointed commentary and kill some time with Alex and Bruce on the official I Die: You Die podcast. 

In this week's episode of the podcast, Alex and Bruce are picking and discussing songs with befuddling and baffling lyrics. Mixed metaphors? Vague wording? Density on their part? All possibilities are considered in the latest episode of We Have A Technical, the I Die: You Die podcast. 

It's a special Patreon-backer episode of We Have A Technical! Listeners of the podcast are joining us to talk about records by [peak], Laibach, Imminent Starvation, and Faith & The Muse! We're also chatting about a recently unearthed chapter in Vancouver industrial history on the Internet's blankiest industrial podcast.

Records by Access To Arasaka and I, Parasite are on the docket for a soy steak n potatoes episode of We Have A Techincal. Join Alex and Bruce as they consider the glitchier side of technoid and the notion of "singer-songwriter" industrial, plus the wacky crossover between EBM and vintage new wave which is apparently a bankable demographic in Belgium. Join us, won't you?

An interview with the newly reunited and still wholly fierce Cubanate is the main feature of this week's episode of We Have A Technical! Phil and Marc talk about the layoff from the legendary project and how its renewal has gone thus far. Recent live sets from iVardensphere, VNV Nation, and Gost are also on the docket.

This month's Patreon-supported commentary podcast takes up an exquisitely crafted piece of industrial-pop fusion, Necro Facility's 2011 LP "Wintermute". Alex and Bruce try to identity the secret sauce the duo added to their electro-industrial recipe to develop such an immediate and engaging entree, and end up making some rather unexpected comparisons in the process.

It's part 1 of a special two part podcast we recorded with Talking to Ghosts during Terminus Festival! We sit down with Michael, Wes and various guests including Brian from The Gothsicles, Jessi from Wire Spine and industrial drummer extraordinaire Galen Waling to talk about a vast variety of topics! We also have some chat about the upcoming Das Bunker 21 and Cloak and Dagger fests in Los Angeles and an unexpected double A side single that may leave you scratching your head. All this week on We Have a Technical, the I Die: You Die podcast! 

Back from Calgary fully sated and scratchy voiced, Alex and Bruce are giving a blow by blow account of all the happening at this year's installment of Terminus Festival. Plus, an interview with Tom Shear of Assemblage 23 about the band's long-earned legacy, songwriting, and his relationship with his fans. Fix yourself a snack and a drink: it's a bonus-sized edition of We Have A Technical this week!

A year of exciting new releases from artists who've made some of our favourite music of the past few years continues! The sophomore LP from Seeming is just around the corner, so we got on the horn with Alex Reed (and some ghosts who may have stowed away on Skype) to talk about "SOL: A Self-Banishment Ritual". What lies beyond an ending? Is there a continuum between jazz and noise? Is listening to too much EBM causing a crick in your back? The ever-eloquent Dr. Reed holds forth on these topics and plenty more on the latest episode of We Have a Technical, the I Die: You Die podcast. 

Cheap Thrills are the subject du jour on this week's Pick Five style episode of We Have A Technical. What tracks, bands, and trends do Bruce and Alex find themselves repeatedly drawn to despite their "better" critical judgement? It's an expedition into some of the cheesier realms of Our Thing. That plus what's happening with new material from Nine Inch Nails, Gary Numan, and The Klinik on this week's episode of We Have A Technical, the I Die: You Die podcast. 

On this month's Patreon-supported and selected bonus commentary podcast we're running through the paces on their favourite pure goth rock record of the new millennium; the long-gestating debut of London's Pretentious, Moi? Contradictions abound in the band and in the record: it's a solo project but also a supergroup, the record's a classic return to the second wave of goth rock but also the debut record from a band formed during the second wave, it's as pure as goth rock can get but consistently lines itself with overt dance and synth figures. We've got a lot to say about the band, the record, and what makes it stand out head and shoulders above so many ostensibly similar records, so join us as we discuss it, track by track on We Have a Commentary! 

Hey listener! Are you excited to listen to two guys who where almost exclusively band t-shirt and jeans talk about the fashion of Our Thing? Well boy howdy, have we got a podcast for you: this one! Of course we will end up discussing some other stuff, namely the news that our beloved Encephalon have a new album completed! Golly, what a great week to check out We Have a Technical, the official I Die: You Die podcast!
