A humorous history of Midwestern American Breakcore

As a continuation of the Doormouse live set I posted earlier, I stumbled upon a couple of recent radio interviews conducted by Meatsock on 91.7 WHUS FM out of Connecticut.

The first one is with Doormouse (Dan Martin) and its about an hour long. He tells the story of Meat, a short lived hardcore/electronic/noisecore/throwingmeatataudiencecore band that somehow got into playing raves in the mid 90s in the midwest. The band was pretty much a bunch of guys getting drunk on stage, throwing meat at ravers, cutting themselves on stage and pissing into cups and drinking it.



He also talks about his independent label Addict Records and his upcoming project with Otto Von Schirach "Pimp Queetoe".

The next interview (also by Meatsock) is with fellow Meat member and vastly underrated breakcore artist Stunt Rock (William Flegal), whose entire career has pretty much been an experiment in regret and self destruction. His album "This Is Stunt Rock Volume 3" was one of my favorite releases of 2005... loaded with mediocre breakbeats, kick ass guitar riffs and hilarious movie/tv samples. He uses no sequencer, pretty much just Sound Edit pro on a Mac running OS9.. just samples other artists or from his VCR. Take THAT Burial!



He sets the record straight on Meat as being part of the "anti-rave scene", then talks about his very unsuccessful career as Stunt Rock, doing stand up at his shows, his method of creating his music, continuously being ripped off as a musician and his sample library which originates from a collection of over 900 Betamax tapes. His latest release "Regret Volume 3" comes as a CD and 10", a book, stickers, buttons etc... SO DON'T BE AN ASSOLE AND BUY IT
