Thank you
I am sorry that Sonic Reducer had to come to an end. I would like to thank everyone who listened to the show. I sincerely appreciated all the calls and complements. It makes it worth while to do the show when people I respect phone-in and tell me they like the show. I am glad I got the opportunity to speak to some bands and ask them some dumb questions. Not to name drop but some favorite interview moments:
-The Stills – my first interview so I was drastically overprepared but cool anyway.
-And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead – Tried to freak us out by saying “Hail Satan” at the end of the interview. Little did they know those were my first words. True story
- Forgotten Rebels - I asked Mickey DeSadist if they were nazis because a guy was wearing a swastika in an old promo picture. I don’t think he liked me.
- Living Things – Such a cool interview, the guys came in and were just hanging out then they did Bom Bom Bom in studio. It was pretty trippy because I was playing one of the old tracks a lot ( I Owe) and they re-released the album and just came in… they weren’t even playing in town. I still don’t understand but whatever.
- Death From Above 1979 – I seriously talked to Jesse from DFA 1979 for about 30 minutes on the phone, I wouldn’t let him go. I had to trim the actual interview down to 10 minutes but there was a bunch of crap we were talking about, hip hop, MSTRKRFT, Femme Fatalle, pretty much everything I could think of asking. This was microseconds before they got huge and started opening for Queens of the Stone Age and NIN.
There so many others… but those are my favorites. Please support local music, London has tons of great bands and some strong scenes. If you feel like you have the time please volunteer at the station, they can always use the help and it is a lot of fun. Thanks again.
