RACK is the new album by the Jesus Lizard. A real treat for us all, it sounds like what you hope it would sound like as well as pushing a bit forward as well. Also, the Jesus Lizard is playing! A lot. A lot of touring even. We speak about that, as well as guitar technique, songwriting, coming to a familiar and well regarded relentless live entity as one ages, and trying to stay true to your own compass. Great tidbits for songwriters and performers, as well as getting really in-depth on all of this NEW Jesus Lizard!

Matt Cameron and his recent ep. Plan D interludes and setlist choices and lots, lots more. West coast folks! Go see the shows people!

Part 3, of Steve Albini remembered and one of my favorite times he has been on, this is the episode where he first talks about not being held to account for the name of the band Rapeman, before any other medium. We also talk about Seth and Jordan Minnesota and other controversial Big Black things as Dave Riley had recently passed. One of my favorites of this entire show, frankly. For the 150th episode, one of our favorite guests is back, the unmistakable and always interesting Mr. Steve Albini. -Making ends meet in the age of quarantine. -The American Health Care system -The slow escalation of risk with a midwest Shellac tour -Playing new songs live, 1/3 of the set is unreleased stuff. -Live experience vs. vegas stage show (the art of surprise and stage expectations) -Billiard Player Song and live evolution of songs -Cheap Trick vs. the Ex -Do the internal meanings of the songs change. -Scrappers -Old songs -Accountability for song content/flawed thinking -Culpability v/ doubling down on dickery. -Jokes vs. just being a jerk (comedians) -Chappelle -Big Black art aesthetic (it was cheaper!) -Big Black: Jordan, Minnesota -Big Black: Seth (his DOG hated black people…)(race in America and privilege) -The Mentors -The name of the band Rapeman -Rapeman: “I have not been held to account” -Blitz tattoos. -Dave Riley of Big Black remembered -The Girl on the Third Floor soundtrack (with Tim Midget and Helen Money) -The End of Radio Peel sessions

Listen in as Stephen and Conan talk about: bringing the prog to the downstrokes, growing up in a musical family, wireless or wired (never knobs), ALL (the album and the band), Everything Sucks, 9th and Walnut, oh yeah, and some dude wore a t-shirt too.

For episode 300, it was time for something COMPLETELY different. Don't worry, it isn't only: "When are you going to have _____ on?" or "How is babby formed?". It's a nice blend of IMs, e-mails and live comments all answered in a live environment.

Part 2 of the epic episode with Mike Kunka! We talk about the later days of godheadSilo, Enemymine, Dead Low Tide, Smoke and Smoke and what exactly the deal was with that reunion tour in the middle of winter a few years back.

SAVAK have a new record, their 5th! Human Error/Human Delight, it's a great rocker and has a wild array of bass players, just like the band. It's been 192 episodes since Sohrab was last on and 208 since it was a full episode, and Michael Jaworski has NEVER been on. Here that is finally rectified as we do a song-by-song of Human Error/Human Delight, and also talk about carrying on as a band as real life responsibilities and adulthood happen, and many other hilarious topics. NO BLUES! NO JAZZ! NO ARBITRARY BORDERS!

THIS CROSSOVER GOES TO 11! That's right, it is the the classic (and endlessly quotable) Rob Reiner Mockumentary. With a round table discussion that includes Gerald V. Casale of DEVO, Brian Teasley (Birdstuff) of Man...or Astro-Man?/Polyphonic Spree and St. Vincent and so much more! And if that isn't enough... the mighty CHRIS MURPHY of SLOAN. What? How? Who! It is the first ever crossover between Conan Neutron’s Protonic Reversal and Movie Night Extravaganza and it promises to be epic. Conan, Forrest, and Andy will be there, Kristina Oakes and Erica Strout too.  “It’s such a fine line between stupid, and uh…clever.” Movie Night Extravaganza - Youtube Movie Night Extravaganza podcast Video link of the episode.

Angela and Dylan are back... after 102 episodes and a full year to talk about their new record GRIND. Thoughts on discussion on touring in the age of COVID, continuing on without Rebecca. Bringing in new folks to the band. What adornments and embellishments an extra year (!) of sitting with a record provides, why trying too hard to be what is wanted in the moment is bound for unhappiness and a freewheeling breakdown of each of the new album's songs.

Ian Miller is 1/4 of the incredible and iconic Kowloon Walled City.

Rigs of Dad Prodcast! Which songs are a game of chicken with the drummer. And a song by song run through of Piecework. PHEW! About time!

That's right, it's Conan's old friend the mighty Jon Weisnewski, host of the excellent TOMORROW WE DIE! An podcast about touring under adverse conditions that is probably a cousin to Protonic Reversal. Also, the mighty AKIMBO, SANDRIDER and now... NUCLEAR DUDES. Are you looking for a comprehensive history of the Akimbo Discography? How about the origin of Sandrider? How about exactly what the heck is a Nuclear Dude and why should you care? How about ALL THAT, Alternative Tentacles, the perils of trying to record two albums at the same time and SO. MUCH. MORE. ok? OK!

An insider's view of Seattle during the early 90s GOLD RUSH of grunge and a surprising amount of talk about Northern Exposure.

The storied and varied discography of Unwound, recording Nirvana, Soundgarden, etc. Ladies and gentlemen: IT IS STEVE FISK!

Tight Bros From Way Back When were a damn hell ass rock band at a time where that wasn't as appreciated as it should have been. That band is only one reason why Quitty is such a legend in certain circles. Nudity, Mukilteo Fairies, the list goes on. Of course why talk about that when he and Conan can opine about that little known Beatles GET BACK film, as well as "Why Am I Doing This? (A Film About Touring)". In all seriousness, lots of Tight Bros talk, Nudity... and some about the man eventually ended up at the Law offices of Rock and Roll.

Assertion, he was also in the original lineup of the Foo Fighters with SDRE bandmate Nate Mendel and it wasn't the nicest time. Hear all about creating and playing at a furious pace in Assertion. Number songs! "Make it pink!", the weirdness of playing late night shows with such personal music, cumulative loss and isolating from everybody. Making amends after many years and so much more. Dave, call the man.

RIP Gary Floyd Punk rock legend Gary Floyd of the legendary DICKS enters the lair of the Protonic Reversal! We talk about HATE THE POLICE, how it has sadly aged pretty well and is quite possibly one of the greatest debut singles of any punk rock band. The origin of the band in Texas (name and flyers first), and subsequently moving to San Francisco. Being an out queer punk rock front person in the days of punk rock and early hardcore. Visual art and health issues. Biscuit from Big Boys and the common cause with Dicks. David Yow and Wheelchair Epidemic (and the dildos), a surprise Butthole Surfers song title homage, Sister Double Happiness! Touring with Nirvana and Soundgarden.

Well hey there, it is 3/4 of the mighty Tar! A deep dive into the discography, the mythos, the digging through shoeboxes for all of the awesome ephemera that led to The TAR Box Set (Vol. 1). Lots on reconvening, long (really long) distance practice, doing something that means a whole hell of a lot for some people, and more than a little discussion about various songs and song titles.

2/3 of CHERUBS! Come on Protonic Reversal. Discussion of the "brand new" SLO BLO 4 FRNZ & SXY, 2 Ynfynyty, Icing, Immaculada High, The mighty HEROIN MAN, and using the studio to make something truly noisy and cool and IN THE RED, competing with yourself to make something worthwhile. How much coffee it ACTUALLY took to regroup the band? Realizing that it works. Why King Coffey of Butthole Surfers wasn't a great fit on drums, but was a great fit as a label guy. Challenging yourself as a band and connecting with fans new and old.

The incredible Tim Quirk is most known for the excellent and clever band, Too Much Joy. He's also an excellent writer, and has been at the ground floor for a FEW stages of the digital music revolution. Bob Seger! The Incredible depths of "Seasons in the Sun." Witness as we discuss the many records of TMJ, including the NEW ONE "Mistakes Were Made" and the even NEWER one, 12 months of joy, which has the songwriting itself crowdsourced. As well as 2 Live Crew, LL Cool J, the major label rollercoaster, what constitutes goofy vs. serious music. Bozo the clown and all that stuff.

Sloan on the OTHER Conan, a deep dive in Murder Records. Punk rock shows... Trailer Park Boys. Sloan: Founded in Fairness (tm) and invested in each other.

After episode 206's epic length discussion of the Cows, it is only fair to do a deep dive into the discography of the mighty Heroine Sheiks! Especially now that Out of Aferica is being released on vinyl for the FIRST TIME. Hear how this very specific keyboard music came together as a NY band that was operating along with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol and such. Shannon Selberg is a deep thinking and an interesting guy, let's listen in on the man's criminally ignored second act and lots, lots more.

The Mighty Ben Verellen on Protonic Reversal at least.
