If There Is Hell Below Podcast... Public Grot

RSS

Rob & Callum bring you a podcast with a warning; wear a hat to keep your brain safely bolted in while you listen to this – you’ll find out why. We discuss 2012 the year of the comic book movie, Callum the Nerdlinger and Rob’s nostalgia for phone box grot. Music flits from the candid folk recordings of Karen Dalton to hip hop’s new young hope 17y/o Joey Bada$$, some krautrock space drones from Kogumaza, Twin Shadow’s hyped up new great thing, Ty Segall’s band deliver noise and US Aries bring something wonderfully obscure electronic soul... There are more tracks, but you knew that.

Rob and Callum have blown the podcast budget on something that will simply blow your minds. You may ask 'what's the point?' but you'd be wrong, you'd be a square and here on the podcast we're all about wheels - reinventing them. We deliver some feverish punk from Mean Jeans, Pow, Nobunny and then some balearic dub house infected afrobeat in the form of a Seun Kuti remix and dead-eyed disco house from No Gold. There's some of that next level shit from BADBADNOTGOOD and something brand new from The Walkmen. How's that wheel looking?

Rob and Callum are back after a week break and guess what? Their Dad still isn’t Brian May; for that they count their blessings – your dad being Brian May is the street cred killer.

In a podcast full of cred, they can’t risk that.

Rob’s bought in mainly hip hop choices from Oddisee, to Ayentee’s Mos Def, Common and Black Thought Frankenstein mixtape, to Danny Brown’s unhinge weed paranoia minimalism and also a bit of Turkish surf rock and rare jazz funk.

Callum’s got that J. Mascis and Spacemen 3 inspired shit that cats have been digging (yeah, I said ‘cats’) in the form of Bare Mutants and Bearhug, new garage rock from Ty Segal + White Fence, plus his own hip hop choice from Nas.

There’s more stuff, there’s more rambling – ‘this is that real’.

Down tools and sack-off your work load, it’s the If There Is Hell Below podcast… Rob and Callum have unintentionally pulled together 3 songs with loosest connections to the ‘Big Star’ sound and Alex Chilton’s little circle of influence. The other songs jump from a new cut from Gonjasufi’s latest desert hip hop trip, Conduits; a shoegaze band who refuse to be called a ‘shoegaze band’ – so some shoegaze from them. An incredible track jazz/hip hop/Marvin Gaye-a-like track from BJ and the Chicago Kid, a lovely little tender moment from Elijah Forrest’s project Terrors, some Brazilian psych fuzz and Young Governor leading our Big Star family tree.
