Marcus Nuccio (Wrong Numbers, Pet Symmetry, Ratboys)

Thursday, July 3, 2025 • Duration 01:03:26

Marcus Joins the show for a fantastic conversation about his new album Take A Beat from his project Wrong Numbers. You may know Marcus from his drumming in the highly adored Pet Symmetry and the fast-growing Ratboys. Wrong Numbers contains fun flourishes and invigorating musical moments that I've come to expect from Marcus' other projects.

In this episode we get into Marcus' history within the Chicago music scene, meeting the people he would end knowing to this day, an insane mixed bill show from 2013 getting into electronic music hardware, developing his solo songwriting process, collecting musical ideas for the Wrong Numbers project, lots of production talk (cool), abandoning sp*tify, mindfully listening to music, modding old ipods, and more (if you can believe it)

Bands Mentioned

This is Lorelei

Boards of Canada

Aphex Twin

Venetian Snares

Radiohead

Fugazi

Grace Notary (16 on Center)

Thursday, May 1, 2025 • Duration 01:06:53

Grace Notary is currently the brand marketing & partnerships manager at 16 On Center, a hospitality group that produces local festivals and represents Chicago’s most iconic independent music venues - Salt Shed, Empty Bottle, Thalia Hall, The Promontory, and SPACE.

This was a wonderful conversation breaking out LWYL's usual artist interviews branching into the wider music industry. I was intrigued to learn about the ins and outs of Grace's work at some of Chicago's most prominent independent venues. I hope you learn something new!

Blake's Recommendation:

The new single by MSPAINT - Angel

Will Lindsay (Buying Fireworks In Indiana, Caracara, Steady Hands)

Thursday, April 24, 2025 • Duration 02:03:22

Will Lindsay joins the show to talk about his new project Buying Fireworks In Indiana. I originally met Will through interviewing his other project Caracara back in 2022 while they were on tour in Chicago. Through some circumstances of fate Will found himself living in Chicago and since him and I have become fast friends. This chat encompassess Will’s journey of founding Buying Fireworks In Indiana, the creative challenges that have fueled it, how current and past experiences have helped from a new venture, tackling the abstract challenge of making art on social media, and of course the music that helped inspire it.

Will Lindsay is a musician and storyteller who’s spent the past decade chasing songs and dodging algorithms. He fronts the critically acclaimed Philadelphia indie-punk band Caracara, and before that, made noisy, joyful chaos as W.C. Lindsay. He’s toured the world, lost sleep in vans, and somehow managed to make music that people actually felt.
Now, he’s pouring all of that into Buying Fireworks in Indiana—a solo project that blends indie electronic music, cinematic video essays, and longform writing into something you can’t quite describe at parties. The project is a search—for feeling, for meaning, for stories that don’t disappear into the void of infinite scroll.
Shaped by years of DIY shows, overnight drives, and conversations in strange corners of the world, Buying Fireworks in Indiana is part travelogue, part love letter to subculture. It’s a living archive of underground music, fleeting moments, and people chasing something just out of frame.
Musically, the project lives between genres—in a space Lindsay calls “drum & bliss”—a blend of indie electronic, future garage, post-punk, and melodic drum & bass. It’s emotionally charged and built for movement: dancing, driving, drifting, disappearing.
The rest of the story unfolds in essays and videos—dispatches from the road, meditations on art and impermanence, and quiet glimpses of the collaborations that become the songs.
Buying Fireworks in Indiana is a listener-reader-supported project. If the music hits, if the stories get under your skin—becoming a paid subscriber is how you keep it alive. Premium supporters help ensure the next chapter is not only possible, but honest, wild, and worth doing.
In a digital landscape that can amplify and erase with the same swipe, Lindsay leans into the contradiction—making art that holds tension between nostalgia and progress, tradition and invention. isn’t just his journey; it’s an open invitation to hop in and come along.

Seamus Kreitzer (Disaster Kid)

Thursday, April 17, 2025 • Duration 01:07:45

Seamus Kreitzer is the singer/guitarist for the twangy and jangly Disaster Kid, who just released an excellent new EP called Rare Bird. In this interview we discuss the inception and recording of this new record as well as the transitional point that it represents for the band. This was a very laid back conversation that veered into the inception of Disaster Kid, weekender touring, being from the Twin Cities (Minneapolis & St. Paul), which obviously led us to talking about The Replacements, and we of course talk about the music that Seamus loves.

Stream Rare Bird now!

Blake's Recommendation at the end of the episode is for the new Djo album The Crux
