NOISEXTRA - The noise podcast.

We got excited and recorded another episode this week. It’s our first repeat artist as we discuss the seminal “King of Noise” album by Hijokaidan, which was recently reissued by Fantastique. Things get piercing and sharp as we celebrate this record. We also discuss the possibility of cooking a pizza on Greh’s speakers using the sounds Hijokaidan. We know who’s noise kingdom we’d want to be serfs in.Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: http://patreon.com/noisextra/Purchase King of Noise at FantastiqueRecent listening:The Haters & Scanner - The Haters, Notably Scanner (Vinyl Communcations)Monde Bruits - s/t (Alchemy)S-Core - Crime (Daft)Bloodyminded - Trophy (Bloodlust)Bloodyminded - s/t (Bloodlust!)Smell & Quim - Your Enemy's Balls (Red Stream)

This week we sit down with talented author and VDSQ label-head Steve Lowenthal and travel the farthest back in time that we have thus far, in order to explore one of the tentacular roots of noise/experimental music with La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela’s Dream House 78'17" LP. Steve talks about his experiences at La Monte and Marian’s Dream House in NYC, Tara talks turtles and prime numbers, Greh talks wizard bikers and Mike headbangs to sine waves.

It’s our first foray into RRR’s Pure series as we head over to France for Zone Nord’s “Roferon A” album.

It's finally here, our first Skin Crime episode, after mentioning the project nearly every episode prior. Barbed wire, thumbtacks and fire all play a vital role in this week’s episode as we not only discuss Skin Crime’s “King of the Death Match” cassette, but also dig into the actual King of the Death Match and related wrestling matches. We dive onto a bed of nails, choke slam each other into thousands of thumbtacks and ascend the ladder in the middle of the ring to achieve the highest honor of becoming King of the Deathmatch. Never stay down, always kick out.Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: http://patreon.com/noisextra/Purchase "King of the Deathmatch" at Hospital Productions.

This week we take a little sidestep into one of the many tentacles of noise as we discuss industrial dark ambient project Inade and their “Burning Flesh” cassette from 1993. We embark a meditative trip through the gates of death, hear about Greh seeing Inade live and fall into the black water well that is this fantastic tape.

Bonus mini episode time. We wanted to let everyone in on what’s going on over on our Patreon site, so we discuss Chop Shop’s “Discrete Emissions” 7” on Banned Production. This episode is also timely as Chop Shop will be making a rare live appearance at the Haters 40th anniversary in Oakland this Saturday, August 17th. We travel to a hazy past through modified speakers and sounds that just aren’t right.

This week head back to Japan and back to the '90s to discuss one of the all time greats, MSBR. We listen to 1995’s “Metal Stricken Terror Action” on Banned Production and our minds are blown. We cover the late Koji Tano’s legacy and importance to the world of noise, read from an interview Greh did with Koji in 1999, and dissect the beauty of MSBR’s special packaging.

There are also some new additions to the podcast that include a segment covering recent listens that will kick off each episode, as well as a new member of the on air squad — Research Assistant Tara Connelly.

This week Greh and Mike sit down with Pat O’Neil and Mark Jameson, aka SKIN CRIME. We listened to the legendary compilation CD “Music Should Hurt” on Pat’s own Self Abuse label. We cover many classic '90s noise bands from all over the globe, what it was like to put together a comp in the pre-internet age, running a noise label in the 90s, and a ton more. This won’t hurt one little bit. Follow us on Instagram: @noisextra Follow us on Twitter: @noisextraaa Support us on Patreon: http://patreon.com/noisextra/

One last duo session to settle into the new mode, Greh and Mike have been preparing for the Hospital fest in LA and as Junko is performing solo we figured we'd pop on 1996's "Ferocity of Practical Life" 10" by noise legends Hijokaidan, one of the longest running acts around. All-star lineup this time around, with classics Jojo and Junko Hiroshige, Toshiji Mikawa and Fumio Kosakai (Incapacitants) and Masami Akita! We'll be back next week with a guest. NOISE!
