We Have A Technical

In this episode of the official I Die: You Die podcast Alex and Bruce are tackling the ever thorny issue of the DJ in the goth/industrial scene. Obviously this ties in with all sorts of other changes to the musical landscape that have happened in the past fifteen or so years, so we'll try to restrict ourselves to talking about DJing in the goth/industrial end of the pool, but this should still prove to be a rather careening convo. 

Alex and Bruce are very excited to chat with Cory from Volt 9000, one of the most interesting bands from the current wave of Canadian industrial! We talk about the new album "Timeshift", why difficult can be inspiring and the paranormal, plus chit chat about our upcoming anniversary, recent articles and more! Also, what is BLABITTY SCHMOO MUSIC???

Ont this episode of the official I Die: You Die podcast, Alex and Bruce each make a list of five bands based on a very specific criteria. Also some chat about Laibach, some very cool industroal memorabilia that showed up on eBay and a whole lot of off-topic chitty chit chat, all this week on the internet's number one industrial, goth and related musics talk podcast! 

Oh man podcast listeners, Bruce and Alex fucked up real bad and forgot to come up with a topic or a guest for We Have a Technical (the official I Die: You Die podcast!) this week. So they did what any self-respecting industrial music nerds would do and fell back on talking about Forma Tadre and Interlace because they could literally drone on and on about those two acts for hours on end. Plus some updates to our thoughts about the Laibach tour, a and more sedate general chit chat than usual, on the internet's number one goth, industrial and related musics podcast! 

Bruce and Alex look back at an older Ministry record in light of the band's legacy since then, and talk about the new Prurient record and how it connects to the broader spectrum of noise/industrial crossover. All that plus some reflective chatter on favourite articles on the occasion of the site's 900th post (and more!) on the latest episode of We Have A Technical.

On this episode of the official I Die: You Die podcast Matt Gifford from Encephalon drops in to chat about his band's excellent new album "Psychogenesis". Also Bruce and Alex chat fallout from The Great Debate, whether people should be sore at Laibach, some fun shows we're gonna attend and much much more! 

After nearly a month of carefully calculated hype and ballyhoo, it's finally here. The Great Debate, in which Alex and Bruce square off in opposing corners, ready to fight dirty, throw low blows, and endanger our decade-plus friendship all for the sake of winning an argument about goth/industrial music. With a little help from a surprise guest MC, we think we were able to put together the symphony of rhetorical attacks, parries, and counterstrikes which we've been building towards...or at least a reasonable facsimile of what it's like to be stuck at a pub table with us when we happen upon a point of disagreement (which was half of the goal in starting this site in the first place). 

It's the fight (or congenial meet-up) of the century as We Have a Technical and Talking to Ghosts collide! What happens when the number 1 and 2 goth and industrial podcasts meet-up to hash out some topics? Why, a bunch of chat about tours vs festivals, laptops on stage and industrial dance videos amongst other topics! Plus, a few more hints about THE GREAT DEBATE! All this week on TALKING TO TECHNICALS. 

On this week of the world's premier industrial, gothic and related musics podcast Bruce and Alex return to the "TOP 5" format, and bust out lists of their favourite closing tracks. Plus they discuss recent shows they saw, upcoming events and the same wholesome family friendly chitter chatter that has become the hallmark of the official I Die: You Die podcast! 

On this episode of the official I Die: You Die podcast Bruce and Alex do a commentary for Gary Numan's classic 1980 album "Telekon". Thrill to our mildly amusing historical anecdotes and baseless theories about Uncle Gary's mental state at the time of recording on another sure-to-be-classic episode of We Have a Technical. 

In this particularly gushy episode of the world's greatest industrial and related musics podcast, we talk about Killing Joke and Ulver. Both bands beloved to the senior staff at I Die: You Die, both bands with storied careers and distinct musical phases and both bands we can (and do!) go on about at length! If that sounds like it's up your alley, then crank it up, Bruce and Alex get real excited on this one. 

On this episode of the official podcast, Bruce and Alex discuss live shows: what makes them good, how a good performer sets themself apart and what performances we've seen that have stuck with us over the years. Plus all the off-topic chit chat and general goth industrial hoo-ha you've come to expect from the accept-no-substitutes world's greatest industrial-goth-ebm-darkwave podcast (suck it Talking To Ghosts)!  

This week on our official I Die: You Die podcast, we chat with returning guest Matt Fanale of Caustic about crowdfunding. We got the do's, the don'ts, the goods, the bads and yeah, the do it as long as you can get away with its straight from the wild frontier of money wrangling in the wild and wooly landscape of 21st century music. All that and lots more on this episode of the best goth and industrial podcast on the internet! 

Our experiment with running the podcast as a weekly venture continues, as we talk to New York/New Orleans goth-pop duo Azar Swan. On the heels of their latest, percussion-laden LP And Blow Us A Kiss and a vinyl reissue of debut Dance Before The War, Josh Strawn and Zohra Atash are getting prepped to play at this year's instalment of Terminus, so the timing seemed perfect to sit down and have a chat with the affable pair.

We're back with another jam-packed episode of We Have A Technical! Alex and Bruce are doing a few new things on this episode, from field testing a new feature (Lists! Drafts! Swerves!) to dropping some news regarding the future programming of this here podcastery. We're also responding to some listener questions, and giving a sneak peak (and possibly world premiere?) of the brand spankin' new mind.in.a.box record!

On this episode of the OFFICIAL idieyoudie.com podcast Bruce and Alex discuss a record by Die Form and the Swans side-project Skin/World of Skin. Also some chitter chatter about upcoming shows, the first announcements for festival season, some amusing anecdotes and Vampire: The Masquerade. This is one of those kitchen sink kind of episodes, so strap in, we talk fast and get very excited. 

On this album commentary podcast Alex and Bruce discuss the legacy of :wumpscut:'s classic album "Bunkertor 7" on the occasion of its twentieth anniversary. How has Rudy Ratzinger's third LP held up within the :wumpscut: catalog, and what is its place within broader industrial history? Proceed, gentle listener.

On this episode of the official I Die: You Die podcast Alex and Bruce chat with Sara and Ryan from Youth Code! Topics include the deliciousness of coffee, the enduring radness of :Wumpscut: and what the future holds for YC now that they've completed a tour with Skinny Puppy and Front Line Assembly. Industrial fans buckle up, this is one hell of a convo! 

On the first episode of We Have a Technical for 2015 Bruce and Alex talk about expectations, hopes, dreams and wishes for the year to come. We also discuss some recent gigs we attended and some ol' nonsense that went down in Our Thing while we were on vacay. You like industrial, goth rock, all the jazz? Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot! 

Alex and Bruce got drunk after finishing their year end coverage and recorded this interstitial episode of the podcast. We don't talk about new music much, it's more just wrestling, comics, TV whatever. It might be terrible, we don't know.
