Ep. #1130: Chat Pile

Ray B. from Chat Pile is here to discuss their raging new album Who Loves the Sun, climate change denial and the links between socio-political apathy and fear, despondency about falling literacy rates and our addictive dependence on our telephones, missing cultural community hubs like video stores and libraries, how artificial intelligence is hunting down our humanity, pondering Pantera and John Fahey, hidden tracks on compact discs, an unexpected celebration of the band Boston, theatrical dynamics in Chat Pile and why the band employs pseudonyms, a Velvet Underground nod with multiple meanings, a folk future, what’s next for Chat Pile, and much more.

Larry Hardy and Henry Rollins are here to discuss their work on Gravest Gravy by the Cramps, how they first heard of and met each other, Larry seeing Henry’s first show with Black Flag and Henry being impressed that Larry released Kim Salmon’s music on In the Red, how they each first encountered the Cramps, the band’s stylistic and cultural impact, how Larry came upon a mixed but unreleased Cramps record, which was produced by Alex Chilton in 1977, Ian MacKaye’s role in this project and Henry accidentally making music news, some background on the vicious argument that appears on Gravest Gravy, releasing even more rare Cramps music, other future plans, and much more.
