music discussion

Dan and Erik talk about music from Jeff Rosenstock, Hot Graves and Colorado/Iowa post rock outift New Standards Men. We also just ramble about nothing, like usual, but it's somehow even worse. 

This episode Dan and Erik talk about music from Apathy, Sparks and Iowa folksters The Night Lights. We also talk about party lakes and wishing we could be geekier. 

This episode Dan and Erik talk about music from Quasi, The C.I.A  and Des Moines' Greg Wheeler and the Poly Mall Cops. Also, Erik goes the heck off about Kurt Cobain, like too far, like he really hopes you can still like him after this episode. 

This episode we have a super fun and inspirational conversation with the Quad Cities' Travis Austin about his project FKA Climate. 

This episode Dan and Erik talk about music from The Murder Capital, Mandy Indiana, and Iowa band TANG. We also talk waaaay too much about Dokken and our hometown, Muscatine. 

Dan and Erik Talk to Luke Tweedy about his music with Sinner Frenz and running Flat Black Studios in Lone Tree, Iowa. It's an awesome conversation, even if we talk way too much about synthesizers.

Dan and Erik talk about music from Muele, Crime of Passing and Quad Cities artist FKA Climate. Dan also invents a robot to fact check the show. I know it sounds crazy, because it is. 

This episode we talk to Jack Christensen about the Beat Strings and his solo record. We also forget to actually do the interview until halfway through the episode, so it feels kind go backwards. Kind of like that movie Memento, but there's no twist at the end. 

This episode Dan and Erik talk about music from Yeah Yeah Yeahs, F%ck Money and Iowa City's Basketball Divorce Court! We also talk about the Pixies battle against alarm clocks.

This episode we talk to Luke, Curtis and Caleb from Cedar Rapids thrash outfit Ill Omen. We talk about their new album and a lot about Metallica. We always talk a lot about Metallica, it's getting a little embarrassing. Anyway, we had a fun conversation and you should listen!

It's another Local Round Up! This time we talk about music from Moon Rabbit, Ill Omen, Murnau, Early Girl, Sinner Frenz and Hayes Noble. We also talk a little about posthumous releases and the original ancient alien, Eddie from Iron Maiden. 

This episode we talk to Omaha's Thomas Parkinson about his project Disholy. Lots of nerding out about gear on this one!

Dan and Erik listen back to their favorite reviews from the past 100 episodes! Including reviews of Tyler the Creator, The Armed, Future Death, Buck Gooter, Tropical F%ck Storm and EXEK. We also have some not so special guests. 

Dan and Erik talk to Tobin Hoover and Tony Andrys of Moscow Puzzles. We also contemplate the mysteries of the universe, like always. 

Dan and Erik talk about the Mission Creek 2023 festival in Iowa City. We talk about music from a few of the bands playing, Divino Nino, Extravision, Ebony Tusks, Mr. Softheart, Black Belt Eagle Scout, Karen Meat. We also discuss the most important thing happening in the news right now, Meg White. 

Dan and Erik rank and talk about their favorite movie scores and soundtracks. I guess we decided to make a feature length episode out of this. We really don't mess around or goof off very much this episode, just mostly stick to the reviews. I guess we talk about spaghetti a little bit. Two thumbs up!

Dan and Erik talk about Iowa and Illinois music from Monica Austin, Bleaken, Marc Hans Showalter, Jack Christensen, Why Bother? and Eugene Levy. We also talk about Icee and pretty much only Icee. 

The Kast is BACK AGAIN with more of the hard-hitting musical analysis you crave. This week we're digging into some odd spoken word poetry about dead birds and hot kisses - a track called "Either/Or" from our sophomore album as white rap duo, W.E.B.A.C.K. We do our best to determine what it all means... and along the way get into spirited discussions about Bill Haley, Sage Francis, Heidi Gardner and more. (What can we say? We're just SO #random!)
