Razorcake is the first and only official non-profit music magazine in America primarily dedicated to supporting independent music culture. We recently embarked into the dark and scary - yet satisfying - world of podcasts. We know there are some kinks in our system, but as long as we get to share great music by great artists from all around the world with people all around the world, we'll just keep doing what we're doing. Hope you have fun listening.

With Daryl Gussin Goddamn, this Marvelous Darlings LP is a much needed reminder of how fun music can be. To reiterate, keep a watchful eye on corporate interests in punk rock, keep an eye out for homophobic/racist/sexist/classist discrimination within the scene, don't let anyone get away with acting like a rock star, squash the bullshit whenever possible, but also whenever you can; get your hands on records like this and let the melodies warm your soul. Punk is supposed to be an outlet, not a let down. And like Skillz says, “if hip hop died, you're responsible for it.” -Daryl To download the file to your computer, right click the link below and select "save target as..."

With Kurt Morris Metal was the first non-mainstream genre of music I got into. In middle school I had some older friends that got me into metal (Christian metal, at that! Don't ask—it's a long story). Eventually, I found my way into hardcore and punk and, in the process, realized there were a lot of quality (non-Christian) independent metal bands, too. Metal still holds a special place in my heart due to its ability to express the rage and aggression I often feel, even though I'm way past my teen years. (It never really goes away. You just learn to live with it.) So I present to you some of my favorite independent metal songs (plus Slayer, because, well, they're Slayer.)

This is punk that's agreeable to listen to without losing any ... By Todd Taylor The Gateway District is an excellent band. Yup, that about sums up my demographic research, my Gallup Poll, my “how many friends do they have?” I like them. They're getting stronger and stronger. Their second full-length, Perfect's Gonna Fail was one of the sleepers of 2011 for me. It never strayed far from the record player. It's got some marathon legs. That's some quiet Midwestern confidence for you. They avoid slickness and focus on songs with timely deliveries. They're from Minneapolis and surrounding environs. Two strong ladies—Maren and Carrie—handle the singing and play guitar and bass, respectively. Brad, a man who put all of his worldly possessions in a boat and sailed down the Mississippi, is their drummer. Their guitarist is one hell of a contemporary author. (Nate Gangelhoff couldn't make the West Coast shows. Dave Strait's no tour slouch, by any stretch.) Gateway District has been lumped into pop punk, but I disagree. This is punk that's agreeable to listen to without losing any sort of emotional or sonic edge. We over at Razorcake like the Gateway District so much that they made the cover of our 10 Year Anniversary issue (http://www.razorcake.org/store/razorcake-65). Since they were able to make the trip out to Razorcake HQ, we did our best to record the interview. I don't know about you, but I like it when people you respect are given the opportunity to talk for themselves instead of it being chopped up. Here you go. An interview with the Gateway District. If you've never heard them before, the podcast starts off with one of their songs. -Todd Taylor INTERVIEW WITH THE GATEWAY DISTRICT To download the file to your computer, right click the link below and select "save target as..."

With Todd Taylor I'm so not living in a commercial for lifestyle beverages, expensive consumer electronics, or casual, quirky hipness. Several weeks back, I wanted to get some exercise before finishing up an issue of Razorcake, to clear my mind a bit before jumping into a layout. So I shoveled some mulch that's sitting in the driveway. My back went completely out. It was the first time that'd ever happened. I took a shower, sat down, worked. By noon, I couldn't stand up straight. I choked on my burrito. By night time, I laid down and couldn't stand back up. It took me ten minutes to get to the bathroom. I'm looking at a month of physical therapy. How is this relevant? I have nothing to gain from sharing this music—all DIY, mostly punk—besides the fact that I think it's great and I hope more people get tuned into it. And when thoughts of, “Fuck, man, I just really want to not piss on myself right now” come to the front, stuff like a band's popularity or what other people think about the minutiae just goes right out the window. What do you listen to when there's no one else around? -Todd To download the file to your computer, right click the link below and select "save target as..."

So, Pretty Boy Thorson And The Falling Angels didn't actually die. A couple of them went off into relationship cocoons that transformed into butterflies that flew back to Minneapolis. But in that pupal stage of becoming pretty in other states, Jesse Thorson was busy gettin' himself a little lady, took up a deep interest in ducks and tractors, and formed a new band. “So, Todd ‘you still make that little zine?' Taylor, what you're saying is that Jesse Thorson is now in two bands?” No. He's in four. “Well, what's the difference?” Does it really matter? Actually. A bit. Flip the cards over one after another: Jesse dances in this band since he isn't tethered by a guitar. Saw him throw up twice in one day—two sets five or six hours apart. Meat. Potatoes. Homemade pizza. Your drugs are mine. Midwest. Bad decisions as rusted crowns. Large bellies as fulcrum points to not passing out. Happy misery. Miserable happiness. Now, debuting ‘lil happiness.

By Todd Taylor and Adrian Chi The Street Eaters are a two-piece, wife-and-husband band from Berkeley, California. They play loud, weird, hooky DIY punk. It's arty enough to be exploring and punk enough to get to the point; they're a refreshing balance/counterbalance of quick charges and expansive sonic landscapes. You may know Megan March from Neverending Party, Younger Lovers, and Wild Assumptions. You may know John Geek from Fleshies, Triclops! or Harbinger. Or you may not know any of those bands. Just rest comfortably knowing that two long-time DIY music makers are putting out exciting music, that they tour relentlessly, and they're very approachable, down-to-earth folks who have very tight bond to both one another and the music that they make together. Megan and John were interviewed at the Razorcake HQ in Highland Park. A full interview went into Razorcake's 10 Year Anniversary issue, #65. It's available here: http://www.razorcake.org/store/razorcake-65 Below is an excerpt from the interview that did not make the print version: talk about being tortured in a film, who'd they'd nominate as America's Crass, and their favorite DIY punks who wear their glasses live.

Megan March: Drums, vocals John Geek: Bass, vocals Interview by Todd Taylor and Adrian Chi Photos by El Diablo Transcription by Selena Mone and Todd Taylor Todd: So, John, how did you end up in the role of Apples in the movie Neptune? John: Oh my god. Have you seen it? Todd: I only saw previews of it. I never saw the movie. Megan: It's brutal. John: It's about an hour and a half of just relentless brutality. That was involved with a bunch of people from the Spam and Geek Fest collective, directed by Anthony Marchitiello. Really interesting guy. Interesting film. A post-apocalyptic survival thing. Doesn't really get explicit about what happened. He focused on a small group of individuals. It's more about human-as-animal kind of things. My character was probably the most sympathetic character in it, trying to be the most human, whereas everybody else was… I mean, he dies. Brutally. About half way through the movie because he's trying to be more human than animal, but everybody else is kind of being an animal. Megan: It's hard not to feel sorry for a character that gets shoved down a huge ravine naked. John: Oh yeah. That. And then dunked in a freezing creek shortly after having his face burned in a campfire. This was all live, too. There was no CGI fakery. Just pain. Megan: Did you get sticks and splinters stuck in painful places? John: I don't even want to talk about it. It's an interesting film. Hopefully, one day, it'll actually see some sort of a broader release, at least DVD. He's done a bunch of shorts. The film has got some sound issues, so we may have to Foley it some day, but who knows. Todd: John, you mentioned the fourth wall. What's that? John: You mean the separation between the performer and audience? Todd: Yeah, but I don't know what the first three walls are. John: Well, that's around you, on the stage. Unless you want to go through the back of the stage. Megan: Is this a Pink Floyd reference? Todd: [serious robot voice] No. [laughter] John: You're supposed to pretend—besides the stage walls and the stage separators—that there's another curtain between you and the audience that you're supposed to be separate from.

They all rule. ... With Juan Espinosa Welcome to my fourth podcast for Razorcake. This time around I sat down with Daryl “No Synths!” Gussin in a battle of the “most boring voices in punk rock.” Has anyone ever asked you “What's your favorite record of all time?” and have you ever been able to answer that question? I can't and haven't. That question seems to be for the kind of person who is done listening to new music. The kind of jaded dork who thinks they know all there is to know about punk music. That's too bad for them because I find a new record to get excited about nearly every week. I vouch for every single one of these records. They all rule. Most of us here at Razorcake would never steer you in the wrong direction when it comes to new music. We don't have the time or money to do that so I really do hope you trust our tastes and come away with a new found interest in at least one of these bands. –Juan To download the file to your computer, right click the link below and select "save target as..."

With Candice Tobin I'm currently watching the first season of The Walking Dead (stay with me), and the main character (Rick) has just reunited with his wife (Lori). He's explaining that he knew Lori was still alive because she'd taken photo albums from the house when she and their son escaped the zombie apocalypse. In the event of a real life zombie apocalypse, I'm thinking my last minute grab-and-run type items would have to be music. In some form, anyway. Certainly some actual vinyl, but that shit gets heavy. Really, when it's late and there are undead leg-dragging assholes after my brain, I just want to listen to Crusades any way I can. Logistics aside, this podcast represents my favorites of the zombie apocalypse contenders, the best of the stuff I absolutely couldn't live without. It is essentially a mix of recently reviewed music, stuff Todd's given me that I latched onto like a barnacle, and a few old favorites. They should keep you running plenty fast.

With Kurt Morris I don't listen to much new music. It's not that I think newer music sucks, but I am generally content with hashing through old stuff. I'm constantly getting acquainted with bands I never took the time to listen to when I was growing up as well as lots of music that doesn't necessarily fit within the parameters of what Razorcake might cover. Nevertheless, I thought it would be fun to put together a podcast of songs from some of my favorite albums from 2011. But upon trying to do so I found out I didn't have enough material! So here are songs from some of my favorite releases from 2010 and 2011. –Kurt welcometoflavorcountry@gmail.com PS: I am old.

With Bill Pinkel Since Todd and I goofed up just about everything on this particular podcast, I will list everything that we learned. 1. Evan Dorkin drew the cover of Radon's In Your Home 7" and, in fact, I have heard of him and was vaguely familiar with his work, particularly the Milk and Cheese characters, but have never read any of those comics, just seen them around. 2. Marie Prevost was a highly acclaimed early twentieth century actress who, after suffering a series of personal losses, drank herself to death all alone in her Hollywood apartment. Neighbors would eventually discover the body and that her pet dachshund, Maxie, had started to eat her. C. Greg Norton was the other guy in Hüsker Dü besides Grant Hart and Bob Mould. Also it should be pointed out that despite his mustache he was not the gay member of Hüsker Dü. 6. To be "Between the Lions," apparently, refers to being in a library. I'm assuming one with lion statues out front, unless you're reading that Jumanji book, in which case the lions may only exist in the imaginings of a child! 8. I'm Bill Pinkel. 2a. “Hello and welcome to another Razorcake podcast” is the thing you say at the beginning of the podcast. -Bill Pinkel To download the file to your computer, right click the link below and select "save target as..."

With Marty Ploy Hey y'all, my name is Marty Ploy. I have been doing DIY punk shows for over ten years (a majority of them in Southern California). I also am one of the curators of the über-stellar Awesome Fest in San Diego, every year. If picking out songs for a podcast was a sport, consider me OJ Simpson, cause I'm killin' it! I picked these bands cause I'm a huge fan of new bands and old favorites: everything from Hickey to The Slow Death to Sass Dragons to The Manix. Do yourself a favor and check this out! Anyone who knows me is well aware of my love for making mixes. I love nothing more than getting hyped on a new record or a new band. These are some of the damies I been super bumpin' in my headphones as of late. Some senior citizens and some booster seats; all are worthy of sharing with y'all.

The Fest 2011 Edition with Todd and Daryl If you were to ask me what I think the most important date in current American mainstream culture is, I'd say it's December 25th. Entire industries bank their year's financial schedules around this silly, misconstrued holiday. I personally try to make as little a deal out of it as possible. Spend some time with family, maybe drink some good beer. But for the most part, I find the entire scene to be atrocious. Now if you were to ask me what I think the most important weekend in DIY punk is, I'd tell you it's the last weekend of October, Gainesville city limits. An international convergence of punk, hardcore, folk, metal, and even some hip-hop. A celebration of music, friends, and family. Over the last 10 years we've seen the Fest grow to what it is today. Built up over the years through hours of labor and thought, careful planning and taking risks. There's nothing else like it in the entire country, so get the fuck out here, see some goddamn bands, and have a great time.

With Todd Taylor I've been reviewing records in two-month intervals since 1996 without a break. That's a lot of music, a lot of vinyl under the bridge. Perhaps the largest thing that's changed over the years is my expectation of music. At the DIY punk level, intention and purpose are becoming more and more important. If I know someone personally and they're a shitbag, it's almost impossible for me to get into their band. It's more and more about context. Why spend any part of my day celebrating another's assholeishness, right? I'm also not saying that I encourage you to like shitty bands because they're nice people with right-on ideals. There are plenty of bands that would be better off being writers, journalists, or mime troupes. What I'm postulating is that there is a sweet spot within the spectrum: great bands that are playing for the right reasons. Battling personal demons for therapeutic benefit. Making punk a lifelong pursuit. Sharing and creating with their friends. Without expectation. Long-term rejection of the status quo. These things are important to me because I want to celebrate when I listen to the music I love. I don't want to think of cars, insurance companies, or lawyers. Here are songs I've come in contact with over the past two months and like quite a bit. -Todd Taylor To download the file to your computer, right click the link below and select "save target as..."

Who replaced the logo of the Bananas where the dove is supposed to be at the end of the bayonet on my Discharge record? Never Again! Libyans: Gnashing, beaks-a-pecking, smart-not-damning hardcore with flourishes that give hints that not only has Crass been a consideration and guiding hand, but so are Wire and the Wipers.
