I Hate Music

Today we are joined by a very special guest, David James Knight. David is an old friend from the tape trading days of the ‘90s who recently relocated to Portland. Alongside David, we delve into listener emails discussing topics like Patreon roasts and the beauty of sharing music. Afterwards, we share music we’ve been listening to from Zombi, Namu, and Cowboy Hunters.

Join us for good music, conversation, company, and a good time!

In 2014 Jason Walton did the unthinkable by attempting to cover Bjork’s gorgeous and heartbreaking masterpiece “Bachelorette” off of her stunning 1997 album “Homogenic.” In this episode we listen to the original, and Self Spiller’s version and discuss them both.

For this recording, Self Spiller was joined by luminaries such as Mirai from Sigh, and Don of Agalloch fame. Join us for this quick episode as we examine both versions and bask in the glory of Bjork’s artistry.

Welcome to the third and final installment of our trip down memory lane, featuring Jason Walton’s 1993 KGLT Radio interview from the height of the death metal era.

While 1993 was arguably the best year for death metal, this show covers a wide range of music. We discuss and listen to The Dead Milkmen, play tracks from Carcass, Celtic Frost, and Disincarnate, feature some hip-hop and punk, and take calls from listeners.

Fire up Mike Browning’s time machine once again, and take a trip back with us to Bozeman in 1993.

East Glacier, Montana. Fire in the Mountains. What a glorious experience and amazing festival. Jason tells us all about it, from Agalloch performing “Ashes Against the Grain” in its entirety, to Enslaved, Sigh, Borknagar, swimming in the glacier-fed lake, and reconnecting with his homeland, Jason goes on and on about how fabulous this experience was.

After sharing those festival highlights, we dive into plenty of listener emails. Listeners chimed in on previous topics like Workout Metal, John Bush in Anthrax, and Sepultura without the Cavaleras, as well as stories about running into heroes and celebrities.

So, as Deicide says, “Join us!”

We recently unearthed two cassettes from our archives containing a live recording of an interview on Bozeman, Montana’s KGLT radio show at Montana State University. Recorded live on April 26th, 1993, this show took place mere months before Jason graduated from high school and moved to Minneapolis to continue playing death metal.

During the broadcast, the host, Bob Kleinjan, and Jason played music, discussed death metal, and promoted an upcoming festival in Bozeman, which marked the final performance of Jason’s high school band, V.B.G.

We invite you to take this trip back in time with us. Please enjoy the old local commercials, brand new tunes from 1993, and this glimpse into the past.

Before the internet, streaming, and YouTube, MTV’s Headbangers Ball was debatably the most wide-spread source for bringing heavy and extreme metal into our homes. Hosted by Riki Rachtman, the show introduced a generation to everything from the mainstream sounds of Metallica and Pantera to the extreme metal of Death, Cannibal Corpse, and Sepultura.

Please join us as we reminisce and debate the legacy of this iconic era. And as always, keep one foot in the gutter and one fist in the gold.

Today we decided to delve into an obscure track from Andy Winter, the Norwegian musician known for his work with Winds, Age of Silence, and Sculptured.

Following his 2013 solo record, Incomprehensible, he released a digital single in 2014 titled "Uncountably Infinite." This track features a notable lineup including Andy Winter, Hellhammer (Mayhem), Mirai Kawashima (Sigh), and Jason Walton of this podcast. Additionally, Don Anderson from Agalloch contributed a guest solo.

Although the song has remained largely unrecognized, unknown, and unheard, we wanted to unearth it for discussion. Despite its strange nature, it features some truly intoxicating grooves that are worth exploring.
