Post date July 22, 2025

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.

Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock discuss their new book Lollapalooza: The Uncensored Story Of Alternative Rock’s Wildest Festival, living among bears, whether Guitar World journalists are required to shred, why their book Nöthin’ But a Good Time: The Uncensored History of the ’80s Hard Rock Explosion and Michael Azerrad’s Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground, 1981–1991, led them to Lollapalooza’s rise and fall, activism, credibility and selling out, why many artists who played or agreed to play Lollapalooza were not into it, Guided by Voices destroying Beastie Boys in backstage basketball games, the infamous year Metallica headlined, why Kim Thayil wrote the foreword, if this book could be more than a book, other future plans, and much more.

Daryl Johns is here to discuss his new self-titled album, how an elevated bed is a marker of adulthood, missing Jersey, why Sting cannot possibly be the same guy who was in the Police, how musical technique ebbs and flows in popular music, how he’s been bringing his studio sound to the stage, genre signifiers like “diner rock” and “bubble gum country,” loving sitcom theme music and 1980s sounds, playing shows in New York City, writing new songs, other future plans, and much more.
