We Have A Technical

On this episode of the official I Die: You Die podcast, Bruce and Alex reunite after some weeks in the wilder and woolier reaches of Canada! There's a rundown of what Alex missed at Terminus, and a Pick 5 of records we like to listen to at bedtime! All this and more of the same nonsense we've been doing for the previous 115 episodes of We Have a Technical! 

New records by Dom Fernow and Justin Broadrick are the topics du jour on this episode of the official I Die: You Die podcast! We're talking about the specific sounds and moods carved out by Vatican Shadow and JK Flesh, along with all manner of detours into metaphysical matters (and Bruce's apparent hatred for TV pitchmen).

This week we are joined by Fredrik Djurfeldt of Severe Illusion and Analfabetism to discuss his various projects, North American vs European perspectives on Our Thing and host of other topics. Also Alex gets way too drunk and says some inadvisable things re: S U R V I V E. All this and more on We Have a Technical, the official I Die: You Die podcast. 

Okay so you know how everyone in North American industrial lost their minds over the Das Bunker 20th Anniversary announcement? Well we got Rev John of DB on the horn to talk about putting the fest together, how the line-up reflects the history of the club and the broader scope of the Los Angeles electronic music scene. Plus Alex and Bruce get a little tipsy, all this week on the official I Die: You Die podcast! 

Bruce and Alex are taking a look at futurespast on the latest episode of We Have a Technical. Yes, futurepop, that millennial sensation, is the subject. It's highlights, lowlights, and enduring legacies, are all discussed on the most Metallica-heavy episode (no, really!) of We Have a Technical to date. 

Has it really been fifteen years since ohGr's "Welt" was released? It has! And we're doing an album commentary podcast in its honour. The record's odd mix of pop and industrial, its forecasting of post-reunion S'Puppy, and so much more are taken up on this week's episode of We Have A Technical, the official idieyoudie.com podcast.

It's our birthday! Well, the website's at least. We're spending this week's episode reflecting on five years of idieyoudie.com: how has post-industrial music changed in that time? How have our attitudes towards writing about it evolved? What bands and labels are inseparable from our experiences with the site? All this and so much more indulgent reverie on this week's episode of We Have A Technical.

Alex and Bruce through a few of their fav-o-rite things about the legendary Legendary Pink Dots on this week's episode of the official I Die: You Die podcast! We're also offering updates, and the new gameshow that's sweeping the nation, "Baseball Term or Futurepop Song?"

Join Alex and Bruce for a classic format episode of the official I Die: You Die podcast, as they discuss albums by Bel Canto and The Revolting Cocks. Also we kick off the voting for Daniel Myer's setlist at Terminus festival, spend some time discussing a recent show and generally doing what we do here on We Have a Technical! Rate and subscribe, fool! 

Scott Fox of iVardensphere joins Bruce and Alex to talk about breaking his sound down and reconstructing it on the fly for his improvisational Singularity sets. The full skinny on Vancouver's recent Cure show and some exciting news for Daniel Myer fans are also on this week's episode of the podcast.

The broader state of dark music is being discussed on this week's episode of We Have a Technical, with questions concerning the rise of darker music outside of the boundaries of goth and industrial being kicked about. Alex and Bruce debate whether or not a new dark age is moving beyond the ken of Our Thing, and try to keep baseball and wrestling chatter to a minimum.

On this week's episode of We Have A Technical, Greh Holger of Hive Mind, Pure Ground, and Chondritic Sound stops by on the latest episode to talk noise, LA, and the aesthetic philosophies which underlie curating one's own label. Apologies in advance for the sound problems; for once the name of the podcast is particularly accurate.

On this episode, Bruce and Alex are tackling an album by Dead Voices On Air -and- the very thorny issue of capitalism and its intersection with Our Thing. Don't worry, there are probably at least a couple of fart jokes in there too.

Lyrics are the topic du jour on this episode of the podcast, with Bruce and Alex each picking five songs whose lyrics have personally resonated with them.

On this episode of the podcast, Bruce and Alex sit down with Greg and Susan of High-Functioning Flesh, a chat we recorded when they came through Vancouver on tour with Body Of Light. We're also talking Haujobb, Babyland, and the mysterious Das Bunker anniversary festival!

Encephalon's debut record gets the full commentary treatment on this week's episode of the official I Die: You Die podcast! 2011's "The Transhuman Condition" was the staff's favourite record of ID:UD's inaugural year, and they've got plenty to say about the Ottawa trio's head-trip of an electro-industrial tour de force.

Bruce and Alex keep it hundred on this very special episode of We Have A Technical with an interview with none other than Jerome Reuter of Rome. War, Jacques Brel, and sousaphone: no topic is off the table as WHaT crosses the century mark.

A thoughtful and considered interview with Brant Showers of DAIMON and SOLVE is featured on this week's episode of the podcast. We've also got a recap of the recent Verboden festival and the scoop on Daniel Myer's by-request set at Terminus which we're going to help -you- curate! All this wee on the official I Die: You Die podcast! 

Still recovering from an all-night Leaether Strip trip, Alex and Bruce consider the art of the live set list on the podcast. How long? Which hits? How much new stuff? Is the whole "playing a classic album in its entirety" thing played out? All this and plenty more on the latest episode of We Have A Technical.

On this episode of the official I Die: You Die podcast we talk about two very different albums joined by a simple idea: they represent artists stepping out of their most obvious influences into a wider world of musical ideas. Along with that talk about Rosetta Stone and Necro Facility, we also discuss festival line-up news, the Depeche Mode march madness brackets and plenty more nonsense and hullabaloo! Only on We Have a Technical!
