Artist Merch Market at Indieplaza
WASTOIDS is coming to the Rough Trade and Rockefeller Center’s Indieplaza September 17 & 18, hanging in the Merch Friend’s Artist Merch Market in honor of Band Shirt Day.
WASTOIDS With….Dale Hollow
Today on WASTOIDS With, we’re talking with country singer and raconteur Dale Hollow. “Yours truly” might possess signature yellow lens glasses and a Manu Ginobili-like frame—with a wit and tongue ‘n cheek bravado to match—but behind all that is a distinct voice, delivered with the ease of a natural songsmith. For this WASTOIDS chat, Hollow sits down with Duwaun Johnson of The Country Brothers to talk about how he hooked up with masked singer Orville Peck, his love of basketball, his cover of the 2010 dance sensation “Dancing on My Own” by Robyn, and his favorite Coen Brothers movies.
The Special Podness: On The Road
Crack open the new vinyl edition of The Special Goodness’ Land Air Sea, and what you’ll find in the gatefold liner notes isn’t an essay on the recording process, an invocation of the band’s songwriting influences, or anything related to the actual tunes. Instead, you’ll find a statement from Pat about his and Atom’s shared obsession: vintage cars.
The Special Podness: Atom, Elvis and Jay Leno
The Special Podness returns with another episode devoted to The Special Goodness, with Pat Wilson of Weezer, Atom Willard (Rocket From the Crypt, Against Me!) and Weezer historian Karl Koch. This episode focuses on the MTV Music Awards, Atom Willard meeting the Weezer/Special Goodness crew, and that time Jay Leno ended up knocking on Pat’s door—and by the way, Elvis is involved.
WASTOIDS With…Willi Carlisle 
Willi Carlisle speaks with Duwaun Johnson of the Country Brothers podcast about homogeneity in country music, the punk music that shaped him, and the worst meal he ate while touring Europe
WASTOIDS With…Steve Keene & Daniel Efram
Legendary DIY painter Steve Keene and photographer and producer Dan Ephram join us on WASTOIDS to discuss The Steve Keene Art Book, out now from Hat & Beard Press.
WASTOIDS With…Marc Masters (The Spindle)
This is WASTOIDS With and we’re hanging with a voice that should be familiar to listeners, Marc Masters, co-host of The Spindle podcast. Every two weeks, he and his partner John Howard discuss a single 7” record here on WASTOIDS. So far, they’ve covered 45s by Flipper, Pavement, Superchunk, and Hüsker Dü. Marc’s also a musician—he and John played in a group called The Plums—as well as one of our favorite music writers, whose work can be read Pitchfork, Bandcamp, NPR, The Washington Post, and The Wire. His 2007 book No Waveis sadly out of print, but commands high dollar prices on the secondary market, and he’s hard at work on a book about the history of cassettes, which we discuss here today on WASTOIDS With…Marc Masters.
Click Vortex: Top Hat Tricks
Rally ’round the family with a pocket full of clicks. Your hosts Sam & Jason hop into the online void. This episode: MTV Classic, Sarah McLachlan, X-Files soundtracks, PM Dawn, Third Eye Blind, and Tom Morello—plus a story about the time the Rage Against the Machine guitarist totally busted Sam.
The Spindle: Pavement-Slay Tracks: 1933–1969
The 7-inch record isn’t just a format–it’s an art form. On each episode of The Spindle podcast, music writer Marc Masters and music historian (and music maker) John Howard dive into a great 7-inch, dissecting its background, impact, and the reasons why it stands out as a small plastic piece of music history. The Spindle keeps it short and to the point–just like the best 7-inches do. This episode, the duo celebrates the return of Pavement—who are reunited and playing shows currently—and drops the needle on Slay Tracks: 1933–1969, Pavement’s debut EP.
