Someone Who Isn't Me – Details, episodes & analysis

In this new episode, I chat with Annie about her fantastic album 'All Born Screaming' the 7th studio album from St Vincent. The record spans a wide array of influences and sounds combining industrial art rock, pop, rave, dub etc with a haunting lyrical quality all delivered beautifully. 'All Born Screaming' unsurprisingly is one of my favourite albums of this year.

In the course of the conversation we spoke about the albums creation and how it was born from studio experiments with modular synths and electronica. We briefly touch on grief, about the almost prophetic nature of the creative process, and talk a little about Lee Scratch Perry and excellence of Kate Bush. Also I didn't mention it, but I saw the show recently at The Royal Albert Hall in London and it was incredible, if St Vincent is playing near you at any point in the future, its well worth seeing as theres an abandon to the live show that rules...

The album 'All Born Screaming' is out now and you should go listen to it on whichever platform you prefer or better yet buy a copy here.

Annie can be found online easily, but as a heads up her instagram is here and her website is here

On that front, my instagram is @danielpcarter and the podcast is @swimpodcast

I know this is the first episode of 2024 and follows on over a year later from the last one with Thomas from Meshuggah, but thats fine, I don't feel the need to bang these out on the regs and theres a ton of other rad pods you can check out like The Downbeat or Tetragrammaton

For those curious about the cover image I painted, the portrait of Annie is Oil, Acrylic and Ink on paper and for the record and this cover is a crop of it (the full image is on my instagram).

Thanks for listening.

Peace.

Episode 45 is with Tomas Haake of the Swedish band Meshuggah. This episode was recorded on the eve of the release of the bands latest album 'Immutable'. A fantastically beautiful, layered and crushing work of modern metal, that yet again proves them to be one of the most vital bands in the genre. Over the course of this conversation we discuss the writing and recording of the album during the pandemic, some of the dystopian themes covered in the lyrics, the idea that all great art has an ethereal nature that is hard to pinpoint, yet is easy to recognise when it resonates for some of us and also the hypnotic trancelike quality that I find the bands music to have. We also talk a little about the health issue Tomas has faced with a recurring hand injury as they were preparing to tour the album at the time of recording...

If you want to find out more about the band, the internet is right there.

They can be found online @meshuggah in most places, their instagram for example is here.

On this episode I speak with Tom Delonge, frontman of Angels & Airwaves, founder of To The Stars Academy Of Arts & Science and former guitarist and singer of Blink 182. We discuss the new AVA single 'All Thats Left Is Love' and the making of the bands forthcoming album during the pandemic. We also discuss the work TTSA is doing with regard tobringing forward information and ideas that tie in with the phenomenon and its relationship to UAP's or as they are more commonly referred to as UFO's.

There is an edit two thirds of the way through that would have been too obvious to not draw attention to, so I put in a censor beep which is mad clickbait-y but thats cos I am a dick. There wasnt any huge secret going on that I covered up, its just we started down a route of conversation that we didn't have time to get into as he was due to take a call as soon as we finished. So, chill. He didn't tell me the secrets of the universe.

To mark the auspicious number 33, its very fitting that the guest on this episode is Grant Morrison MBE.

A true visionary and legend in the field of comics, Grant has created work for DC, Marvel, Image and more. He's written groundbreaking arcs on such legendary comics as Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, X-Men, Doom Patrol, Fantastic Four, Swamp Thing and Justice League. He is also the creator of 90's masterpiece 'The Invisibles', a book who's influence reaches far into popular culture and occulture. In this episode I talk to him about magick, life, comics, creativity and recent work in TV. Its a mind melter.

In this episode of Someone Who Isn't Me, I speak with Tobias Forge, creative mastermind, songwriter and frontman from the band Ghost.

We discuss the rise of the band to arena headliners, the bands journey, songwriting and creativity. Tobias tells how he struggles with the idea of people conflating him with the characters of Papa Emeritus and Cardinal Copia, the lead characters that have fronted the band through its career. He hints at creative endeavours elsewhere and how two events in his childhood have had a profound affect on the development and his creative vision, of what Ghost is.

At the point where we were about to discuss fatherhood as a touring musician, my recording equipment died as I was using my new Aston Stealth mics and was unsure of how much the phantom power would drain the recorders battery. So please forgive the abrupt finish!

The latest Ghost album 'Prequelle' has recently had the new 'Exalted' box set reissue and their UK tour recently finished.

You can find the band online here:

This episode is a conversation with the singer and artist known as Poppy and her collaborator Titanic Sinclair. Having met the pair of them a few times now and having spent some time with them 'off duty' as it were, I feel its fair to say that this is one of the first interviews Poppy has done where she steps away from the persona that is this whole project and had an open discussion about some deeper stuff. We discuss life, the music industry, art, creativity and more. We also get into some of the wild conspiracy theories swirling around the fringes of the internet regarding them both. It was definitely something I wanted to talk about as I find that they have read the current climate of a new 'satanic panic' like that which swept the entertainment industry in the 80's, which has now been 'upgraded' to a weird modern 'Luciferian Illuminati Reptilian Panic' and as artists they are reacting to that and are playing their hand well, in a very artful, creative and knowing way.

Her forthcoming album 'I Disagree' is due for release on Sumerian Records in January 2020 and preorders are live now.

The title track and its accompanying video are online now.

I recently spoke with Perry when he was here in London for a couple of shows to launch his new album 'Kind Heaven'

We sat in his hotel the afternoon of the first of two shows the Kind Heaven Orchestra, featuring Perrys wife and co-vocalist Etty, played at The Box in Soho. It was unlike any gig I've been to, very intimate, interactive and inclusive. It was pretty wonderful to see.

During our conversation we discussed the new project, the interactive and immersive experience in Las Vegas, Janes Addiction, Travel, Music, Creativity, Politics and an event that happened in Perry's life that had a profound effect on him...

The album Kind Heaven is available to buy and is now on all streaming platforms.

The portrait of perry was something of a struggle for some reason, I was definitely over-thinking it but in any case its oil, acrylic, ink and pencil on paper.

In this episode I talk with NOFX frontman / songwriter Fat Mike about his incredible recent album as Cokie The Clown called You're Welcome (Fat Wreck Chords)

We started off by discussing the upcoming show that NOFX is playing in Portland (they've announced it now so I didn't need to bleep it out) with an orchestra 'The Decline' in full and then moved onto the Cokie record and little about his musical Home Street Home. We also talk a bit about Mike's love of BDSM and his line of womens clothing for men. All in all it was a very open and frank conversation.
