One of the founders of DEVO suggested turning the tables on Conan for the 7 Year and 250 episode milestone. What, we are going to say no? Although nobody could have predicted that Conan's mother would be killed in a car crash that week. That is discussed, as well as what set Conan on his creative path. The complicated legacy and catalyst of Clay Wofford, the origin of Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends, Protonic in the time of COVID (a piece of wreckage after the shipwreck), getting on stage in front of people, the genius of Toshi Kasai and asking Dale to be part of Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends. Lessons learned from all of that. New Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends plans, being too angry to write music. Hall monitors and following rules that don’t make sense. Getting out there and so much more. LOOK, it's Jerry Casale of DEVO talking to Conan Neutron. Cool? Cool.

You can blame the Marshall for that. My 90s and photographic time travel. Music cues for Reno 911, composition. Videos and vision.

THRILL to the sounds of every single song on this epic album gone over in forensic detail, DRINK every time Joe claims they won’t be playing one live, or you know… don’t.

(A million dollar PA system costs a million dollars, and being nice is free).  There is talk of aliases, and being inspired by dislike. Sending out postcards to fans, touring the world playing music that isn't exactly HARD SURF, while maintaining a longtime pre-social network connection with highly engaged fans. Reminding Joel Hodgson of the words to the MST3K theme song live, usage of samples to differentiate the songs and tune and stuff. Estrus to Touch and Go and getting darker in the process. Also hear about SERVOTRON playing with Dave Pirner. Starcrunch, Birdstuff and Steve Albini sharing a bed heated by TV dinners (oh yeah, and recording with him too) and sooooo much more.

Plenty to talk about just with that, but he's also a member of the reunited Distorted Pony(!). A much missed band from the halcyon days of weird music, and a band he was an unabashed fan of. How does one approach playing in one of your favorite bands and what does that look like? From tone to space, to practices with one member in a different state, european tours and everything in between, to being ready to ramp back up in 2020 and pump the brakes because of COVID.

This time it is a brand new record for 2020 (or at least a few weeks of it) Age of Roaches! We get into a song by song breakdown, as well as why some of this record has been kicking around for 14 years (!). Darren shares his process for working on the record and managing a day job teaching music, talk of dark lyrics, pastoral fetishism, and why is it that it might be inconvenient to the legend of Kid Dakota that he has continued making records. And in-depth look at an artist somehow shrouded in mystery and hiding in plain site. ]]> Conan Neutron's Protonic Reversal http://www.radionope.com/podcasts/protonicreversal/?name=2021-01-05_219_ep219__darren_jackson_kid_dakota.mp3 http://www.radionope.com/podcasts/protonicreversal/?name=2021-01-05_219_ep219__darren_jackson_kid_dakota.mp3 2:06:55 conan@radioneutron.com (Conan Neutron) Conan Neutron no Tue, 05 Jan 2021 20:16:00 -0800 Ep218: Heather Smith (Bone and Bell) Conan Neutron's Protonic Reversal To a Cinder is something to behold. Orchestral Folk? Apocalyptic Americana? None of that does it justice. The songs are dark and true and quite compelling. She comes from a world of noisier music but expressed her art her way. Listen in on a song by song breakdown of the record, as well as the real life story of having to relearn to play completely after a major accident. Turning tragedy into triumph.

It has been over a year, and last time was pre-pandemic, uprising and election. Wow! Since we barely got through the first couple records last time with all the talk of San Francisco... this talk includes Defund the Police, and policing those that SAY Defund the Police, as well as all of the world events since then. It also gets us through  the Chris Cohen era of Deerhoof and (almost all of) the 2000s. Many finea tales, including DAVID BOWIE, Thom Yorke slam dancing and putting together samples in the most torturous and labor intensive way possible. Work/life balance. All that. A DEEP DIVE into Reveille, Apple O, Milk Man, Green Cosmos, Runners Four and a little bit about Friend Opportunity.  Whew! Part three will be a lot sooner than the gap between part 1 and part 2.

It is under his own name and most of it doesn't sound much like Dillinger Escape Plan. Listen in as Greg and Conan talk about how directors and actors aren't expected to do the same thing but musicians are. Boxes and rooms. Doing things because you have something to say vs. wanting to be heard. Spotify, categories and other prisons. The founding of Federal Prisoner and putting out records that way, vs with a major label or established indie label. Making the decision to release the record under the same name he pays his power bill under, and removing the shield of band identity. Playing Alice in Chains songs with Jerry Cantrell in small rooms without volume to back up anything, and playing with people that make you step your game up. The ending of Dillinger Escape Plan, the origin story of Killer Be Killed (who also have a new record out!), and lots, LOTS more. ]]> Conan Neutron's Protonic Reversal http://www.radionope.com/podcasts/protonicreversal/?name=2020-11-19_214_ep214__greg_puciato_solo_artist__killer_be_killed__black_queen__dillinger_escape_plan.mp3 http://www.radionope.com/podcasts/protonicreversal/?name=2020-11-19_214_ep214__greg_puciato_solo_artist__killer_be_killed__black_queen__dillinger_escape_plan.mp3 2:18:41 conan@radioneutron.com (Conan Neutron) Conan Neutron dillinger escape plan, killer be killed no Thu, 19 Nov 2020 19:52:00 -0800 Ep213: Helios Creed (Chrome) Conan Neutron's Protonic Reversal At LONG LAST!

Listen in as Helios and Conan talk about taking inspiration from Hendrix and Sabbath live (and the acid), and making timeless records like Alien Soundtracks and Half Machine Lip Moves too. Model trains. The sad decline of Damon Edge, Overcoming illness and adversity, touring with Hawkwind members, common cause with Flipper and Dead Kennedys. Lactating Purple!

Did anybody expect "new" Mr. Bungle? Did they expect it in this form? Well, SURPRISE! The iconic guitar player and composer breaks down playing and recording songs written in high school in Humboldt with thrash heroes like Scott Ian and Dave Lombardo. Flexing different muscles on the lost Bungle "thrash record" and relearning those songs. The difference between the architect/director of a band like SC3, vs JUST being the guitarist. Repairing non-standard/esoteric instruments on the road. Time signatures that are not actually odd. Ches! Danny! Orthodox Theology and Byzantine Chant. Oh yeah, and King for a Day...

As with many things  DEVO, it came out just a little bit before its time. Sounding  purposefully "modern," and focus group approved, the energy hats were  changed to the more pleasing color of blue, and everything from the  mastering to the song choice was meant to shine a light on the world of  music ala 2010.

Starting on piano and moving to bass and then guitar! Baritones! Suggestion! fugazi demos! Instrument (but just the jerks). Lack of interest in nostalgia. Sitting down and standing back up, memes and mortality, Ian's memory palace, being made into "content" and for what reason, some discussion on the psychological effect of social media and what you can and cannot control and some very thought provoking advice and perspective on maintaining sanity in crazy times.
