Ep. #998: Nina Nastasia

Nina Nastasia is here to discuss Songs for a World of Trouble, how she wound up living in Seattle and why she prefers coastal states, why her new album is currently only available on Bandcamp and not on streaming services, the strangeness of the current cultural economy, the lovely book of artwork, poems, stories, and lyrics that complements this record, making her first album without Steve Albini, inspiration from Will Oldham, touring with Mogwai, playing shows with Jolie Laide, other future plans, and much more.

Adam Goren and Brian Sokel from Dead Best discuss their album Second and its lyrical themes, growing up together and now living right next to each other, a Guelph house show my old band Captain Copilot played with Atom and His Package in 1999 before I randomly ran into Adam in Philadelphia a year later, finally having Adam on the show after conversations I’ve had about Atom and His Package with guests like Chris Gethard, Kurt Vile, and Pissed Jeans’ Matt Korvette, being straight edge in grade one and high school reunions, getting into punk and DIY culture and infusing it all with comedy, why a number of post-hardcore bands in the 1990s seemed to be named after American historical figures except for Franklin, playing shows, other future plans, and much more.
