Nick Reinhart of Disheveled Cuss, Death Grips, Tera Melos, Bygones, and more joins Sam and Jason to click through the Angus soundtrack (Weezer, Green Day, and more), Harmony Korine, Sha Na Na, music video legends Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris and more.

Sam and Jason are talking synchronicity, 12-string guitars, “High Weirdness,” and much more on this all-new episode of Click Vortex. Plus: the inside scoop on the new charity-driven holiday Band Shirt Day, coming to you September 16th.

Sam and Jason click their way through stories about Roy Orbison, drum god Jim Keltner, Buddy Rich, Tom Petty, Shelly Yakus, Blue Öyster Cult, and Sam’s traumatic Muppets memories.

Look up in the sky. It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s a…click? In the first half of today’s show, we’re talking about musicians who have seen UFOs, including George Clinton of Parliament/Funkadelic,Stevie Nicks, Frank Black of The Pixies, and Kendrick Lamar on this episode. Then, we explore the lounge jazz of Paul McCartney’s side project Thrillington, the artistic spirit of Linda McCartney, Electric Light Orchestra, Roy Wood, and the true crime rock & roll saga of drummer Binky McKenzie. 

We’re all over the place this episode of Click Vortex, touching on everything from the bubblegum pop of The Cowsills and The Association to the rock antics of The Who and The Ramones, the brilliance of the recently canceled Joe Pera Talks With You, and porn star Traci Lords’ forays into electronic music. Along the way, Sam debuts some new vocal delay tricks and Jason offers a report on the dining and filmgoing scene in…uh…Casa Grande, AZ, circa the 1990s. All that and more on Click Vortex on WASTOIDS.

From otherworldly Optigan sketches to the harrowing sound of “The” Nine Inch Nails in the Roadhouse, music and sound design is key to the sensibility and tone of Twin Peaks: The Return. This episode, the Click Crew is joined by Duwaun Johnson of the Country Brothers podcast to discus the many sounds of Twin Peaks.

…And you will know us by the trail of clicks. Sam and Jason talk real Zombies, fake Zombies, weird musical instruments, Trail of Dead and more on the all-new Click Vortex.
