Join Brice Frillici for a loose, behind-the-scenes tour through Song Belongs to Room, an ongoing collection of more than 50 reimagined cover songs spanning indie rock, classic rock, folk, metal, pop, post-punk, experimental music, and everything in between. Along the way, Brice shares stories behind the recordings, production choices, vocal performances, creative arrangements, and the unexpected r...

Long story, but it happened. A highly personal account of living with Mexican gangsters for a short spell in a trap house. Mission District, San Francisco. 1997–2002. A highly charged, dangerous, sometimes very lethal environment. I walk through what it actually felt like—day to day, room to room, the energy, the tension, the weird shit that just becomes normal when you’re in it. How people moved....

Part II goes deeper into the darker side of the spectrum—what people label as evil, how it gets packaged, and how constant exposure shapes perception. We look at streaming culture as a delivery system: endless access, algorithmic surfacing, and how tone, pacing, and repetition normalize intensity.  Desensitization, curiosity, and fascination all show up, and we map where they overlap. “Love the si...

This pod wonders how good and evil move through art, film, and sound, and how repetition reshapes sensitivity over time. The conversation tracks desensitization as a real process: exposure builds tolerance, shifts thresholds, and changes how images and ideas register in the body. In our clanky manifesto-type way, we move through modern art and cinema—how artists construct unsettling imagery, why a...

A full walkthrough of 2025 Brice Frillici album When The Gods —track by track, front to back. I talk through each piece as it comes up: where it came from, how it was built, what’s happening sonically, and how it fits into the larger arc of the album. Guitar tones, structure, vocal choices, production moves, secrets and lies involved, sequencing—everything gets opened up in real time. Each section...

Two and a half hours of direct, lived perspective on AI music from inside an active catalog—spoken by someone releasing albums across analog recording, lo-fi processes, and AI generation at the same time.   I lay out my own methodology in detail: how I approach tools like Suno and Udio, how I guide, shape, edit, and integrate them into a larger body of work that already exists beyond AI. This is a...

Halloween Sucks (But Every Day Is Halloween) He goes off the rails in this unfiltered podcast episode, announcing not one, not two, but three new albums dropping soon—each stranger and darker than the last. From the so-called “darkest album ever recorded” (Save the Gods) to a Viking-stoner-metal epic (Raids) and a synth-drenched nostalgia trip (Defiance of the Void), the ride swerves through horro...

Cheap Magic is a long-form dive into the underground world of Brice Frillici guy. This podcast is mega liner notes—part casual monologue, part behind-the-scenes journal. Brice opens up the vault on upcoming albums, art books, and projects, weaving stories around their creation and what they mean. The current season builds toward August 19th, when a burst of new work lands all at once: multiple ori...

[Intro music fades in—lo-fi guitar, tape hiss, maybe a passing train in the distance, a rooster, and a barking dog, and someone yelling at it to shut up] Welcome to Samorozpadu Zamysleni, the official podcast companion to my latest country album, recorded with Milarepo Man on instrumental backups. I do all vocals, keys, and guitar solos, and arrangements etc. As usual my role as Producer comes thr...

Brought to you in part by the Tacoma Psychedelic Society....NOT!!!! A barrage, a download, a spontaneous offering of questions, references, irreverence, reverence, and psychic residue. Think of it less as a formal outline and more like a napkin sketch of a shared neural storm. I wrote this letter to Mr Ungoogleable—as mail and an ask—but more as a mirror. A correspondence to ask him to do a podcas...

The Yaksman II This one goes even deeper down the wormhole—a whopper, way more songs, more spontaneous tangents, more dickness, and some vitriol for breakfast. And some real-time editing critique as I try to figure out what the hell I’m doing. The mood swings continue—humor, seriousness, more jabs at the psychedelic guru game—but always ultimately from a place of love, curiosity, and trying to mak...

The Yaksman I  This one’s a vibrant jab—part funny riff, part full-on rant tear—recorded mid-commute while I chat with myself. On other tracks, I strum around on my acoustic and recall some songs from back in 2012, when the world was on the brink of collapse. (Spoiler: we saved it. Or maybe Cern just shifted us to a slightly less doomed metaverse. Or more obviously doomed, depending on how full/em...

Welcome to Muscamol. We chat Smurfs, my new band Milarepo Man, and the origins of my AI Therapist, what it means to be musically monogamous vs. free to explore all genres and methods, about growing up into the mind controlled hypnotized cult matrix normalcy, staying youthful with your vision intact, the pros and cons of power, the danger of honesty, live performer vs. recorder... ending with a war...

An exploration into the seeming value of tripping. In this episode, we document live experiences and peer up and down the veil—into moments of oblivion, and back again. Forgotten and newly discovered notes from the field. As CERN changed the universe forever back in 2012, we/I/am/is marched into the abyss with eyes pinned open looking back at the earth. Join me for a walk down the yellow brick roa...

Under the Floorboards: Live with Tina (aka The Deletist) This one was for my old podcast, Rooney’s Lodgecast. This episode captures a wild night in Chris “Skullcaster”’s old bedroom at Bleakhaus, Mission Street, SF—circa 2010. Me and Tina (aka The Deletist) recorded live noise music mid-conversation, no filter, no edits, no comfort. Bare wires, breath, and busted freyed ampiage. Lo-fi spirit work...

In this unfiltered spiralling migget, I spiral through identity, ego, simulation theory, and the strange theater of human costume-wearing. From sports jerseys to leather straps to the voice we choose to speak in—this episode explores how we unknowingly play roles, and what it means to wake up to the performance. I dunno, maybe like a spoken word performance of someone who is still in college. Prob...

Recorded in the hush of an early rainy PNW morning commute—windshield wipers steady, traffic crawling—I riff on the elusive hunt for authenticity in a world that’s mostly smoke and mirrors. It’s a wandering drive through the fog of identity, AI illusions, soul signals, and lo-fi praise songs for the raw and the real. I ask: Are we just faking it 'til it's true? Do our souls punch through the noise...

Something close to the veil. This podcast is a wild and far-out exploration of heaven, hell, and middles in between—because why not start with the big questions? My X gf sure did. And we break that down here just a bit for fairness. As for Shannon, I was on my way out into the woods to capture our first recording. Maybe. Mostly, we just wanted to hang out and meet in person around a fire. The fire...

This week we jive on the Dirty Laundry Radio Show with Flow J. Brice Frillici from the Sekdek Podcast drops in to talk AI Music, robotic doom, and the artificial takeover—schooling the treetops of the North Cali Evergreen on what’s coming. Flow J spins deep-cut groovy tuneage across genres, weaving a sonic backdrop for a conversation that swings between speculation, philosophy, and the strange rea...

Brice Frillici joins DJ EhMmAhh on WGDR & WGDH 91.1 & 91.7 FM for a deep dive into the shifting landscapes of Artificial Intelligence. This special broadcast blends handpicked music with interludes of speculative and factual conversation, exploring what AI means for Vermonters—and humanity at large. From ethical quandaries to uncanny possibilities, the discussion offers much reflective fod...

I went wild and free. The wind caught me at an angle, and I was told to bang on about something and nothing at all. What came today was a gift and an emancipation from the witch's (small case) ritual of seizing upon self-depreciation negatively. Not that I planned any of this. But the thought remains consistent in my stable. And the song bangs it into being all the more. The overwhelming idea here...

Beneath a sky that hadn’t decided whether to unveil the moon or a thousand stars, a conversation unfolded—a dialogue that rearranged the cosmos. This wasn’t an exchange of words but a confluence of past, present, and future, weaving a tapestry so intricate it altered the fabrics. Timelines tangle and untangle like threads in the hands of fate. This chat—held in a dream or another dimension—rippled...

Welcome to the First Ever episode of Rooney's Lodgecast! Here, we dive into a special archival treat from the very beginning. It's 2012, and I'm joined by music producer Michael Starita. Michael and I have a rich history of collaboration, having mixed around 50+ of my songs during an intense series of sessions at Faultline Studios in downtown San Francisco. We met in a bar and often drank together...

"Homer My Odyssey," is an unplanned spoken word journey recorded in my van while camping in the woods. Not typically a performer in this manner, but armed with a notebook, I read randomly selected lyrics that, as fate would have it, came together to sound as though they were meant to be. This collection, named in homage to Homer's epic poem, stands as a fun and eclectic addition to the Sekdek Podc...

This is me in the woods riffing about my new book, Beyond the Valley: Tracing the Arc of Psychedelic Therapeutics. Freeform word jazz? Whatever caught hold of me kept its grip for about 45 minutes and did not let go. I got silly and had fun making fake commercials. Imagine that, I recorded it and so now here it is. The book delves into the academic, literary, speculative, educational, and scientif...
