Crushing Weight
Greh was in Ohio (and will be reporting on his noise travels next week), so Mike and Tara hit record for an in-the-moment conversation. Topics include the crushing weight of life, good and bad feedback use, varying approaches on special packaging, some recent noise and more.

Various Artists – Bring on the Shits
The Connellys scored a copy of "Bring on the Shits" on Bandaged Hand Produce while in Japan thanks to Greh and we wanted to go over this classic 1995 cassette comp for today'’'s episode. An absolute stand out 90s compilation, this one brings together artists from disparate corners of the noise world and places them within the Bandage Hand universe. The results are stunning. Mlehst himself supplied us with thoughts and info and we relay them throughout our talk.
For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon we are putting up the entire first episode of Live Crashing Headfolds. Two hours of a brand new stellar noise radio show!

In Conversation with Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance, Comets on Fire)
Ben Chasny of Six Organs of Admittance joins us for a great talk on a different branch of the underground. Six Organs has provided some incredible outer folk and expansive guitar work since the 90s. His newest album "Sleep Tones" is a full on double LP or pure ambient just released on VDSQ. Chasny has also worked closely with David Tibet, from being in the live Current 93 line up to handling some guitar on the magnificent "The Light is Leaving Us All."
For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we’ve included one side of the "Sleep Tones" album. This selection comes right after the interview to send you to the dream side.
