The Unanimous Hour

"The man who never alters his opinions is like standing water/he breeds reptiles of the mind" - William Blake

This episode the conversational waters ran overhand were so good that I had to cleave the baby in two. My old friend and bandmate Spen Syndrome (The Shivering/Bullets In/Stockholm Syndrome) drops in the stream to celebrate the majesty of Lay Yr'self Aside. Then Conner Habib, from the deeply esoteric and undeniably human  Against Everyone podcast and author of Hawk Mountain beams in from Irela...

This episode Robbie Judkins (Left Hand Cuts Off The Right/Radio Host) and I plumb the depths of the mystery that is Hear The Children Sing. Check out his special radio show on Lungfish fans called Feral Hymns on mix cloud!

On today's show, my sole guest, Glenn Donaldson( The Reds, Pinks, and Purples), and I discuss the labyrinth that is Fearfully and Wonderfully, as well as Glenn's love for all things Lungfish. 

This world is a strange place to say the least. On this episode Greg Polard (Where It Went, Something To Du) and I rap rhapsodic about the track This World. After that, we present part two of my conversation with Joe Lally (Fugazi, Messthetics). Lots of mystery and magic to be had for all!

This episode is the opening of the door on one of, if not the, towering masterpiece albums of the band's catalog. Love is love, indeed. Join me and Scott Sheridan as we turn over the multi-faceted jewel of a first track on the album of the same name. Later in the show Joe Lally (Fugazi/Messthetics) joins the conversation/congregation. Shows like this one are why I love about doing this work.

With this episode,  we come to the end of the first official Lungfish album on Dischord. A song that foreshadows much of what's to come for this project. Yah Soon joins me once again to wade into the deep end of this track. Then Patrick Kindlon (Drug Church/Self Defense Family) joins us to continue our discussion about Higg's seemingly effortless command of language, Ray Cappo and many p...

Beware! You are about to enter into a stream of conversation about perhaps one of the heaviest, deepest and darkest of early Lungfish tracks. By all accounts, their first epic composition. Dan Shaw, of the band Landowner, returns to take this beast on and try and make sense of the mental carnage this song delivers. Then  author/comic book writer/musician/podcaster Patrick Kindlon (Drug Church/Self...

And we're back,...sorry for the slight pause/in-breath, but the show is definitely back and better than ever. Lots of exciting things on the horizon. Today's show was a fun one. First we deep dive two tracks with Jon Evans and the evolution of his Lungfish journey. Then we talk to the ridiculously prolific and talented mystic artist/musician Arrington De Dionyso. Please look up his work...

Seth Lorinczi returns! Sarah Hennies discusses persistence of vision and her reluctance to fully appreciate Kissing! Things quickly go ff the rails and into the unknown!

This episode I talk with Eric Oldman about the hidden mystery inside the Lungfish track Samuel, then X-ray the author and musician, Seth Lorinczi's skull ( to plumb the depths of his intelligence and insight, as well as wiretap his memories to excavate some truly unexpected Lungfish tales). Ingest this lying on your back in a dark room...

"I took one look at her tattered shoes/I offered her mine but she refused/She said - I want these cuts on my feet, man/gotta become sensitive as I can" Another episode in the can and another chapter in the eternal book. This one got quite personal for all involved (always a good thing, in my opinion, sharing what's under the skin). This show we talk about the track Descender with Ja...

The Broadcast will remain... On today's show Colin Bane returns to do the autopsy on the track Broadcast and Chris Richards (Q and Not U/The Washington Post) drops some serious depth and knowledge on us. This is an episode not to be missed!

Strap yourselves in, its time for a new episode and a new album to excavate and do the exegesis thing on. This episode my old friend, the deeply creative as well as deftly articulate Ken Smallwood, joins the show to discuss Friend to Friend In Endtime with me. As usual, it's a conversation with many twists and turns and an insightful unfolding of the song, in a direction I would not have anti...

Have to admit, it's with a taste of sorrow that I release this episode. It's the last show covering the last album by the force of nature referred to as Lungfish. Not that there's not a handful of other albums to talk about in their catalog. There's just something so poignant and intimate about this release. At least I've got good company to say goodbye to this record with...

"Sing" is a perfectly fitting track to be released on Easter Sunday, a day of Resurrection and renewal, the morning after the pink moon of death and shedding unworthy things. To accompany me this week for the exegesis is returning guest, Seldom Careful from the UK. After that, be a fly on the wall for the second part of my conversation with Tim Kinsella. Sing a vow to keep song. 

At times like these, when the outside world seems inside out, there's only one way out and that's the way out. Take it from Higgs and co. This episode Yah Soon and I  peel back the surface layer of so-called 'reality" and do the bibliomancy on the track Way-Out Is The Way Out. Then we dive into the stream of conversation with Tim Kinsella (Cap N' Jazz/Joan Of Arc/Good F@ck...

2022 is a strange year...already. No better soundtrack to strange transformational times than the interdimensional Lungfish. On this episode, we speak with beekeeper/tattoo artist/musician and all around deep thinker, Yah Soon, about the track Invert The State. We also begin to get into Way Out, but will continue that conversation next episode. We also resume our conversation with Lungfish tour ma...

A new year brings many things. This year will hopefully bring more episodes and less dis-ease. The opening one for the year is strong medicine. My guest, Paul Hutzler, spent a lot of time on the road with Lungfish and is one of the inner circle of the band. His spirit is large and his heart open, his stories riveting and his insight rare. Also on the show, for the second consecutive exegesis of Yo...

Take a breath and enter the war. Today I'm joined by Julie Napolin (Meridians) to unearth the relics of meaning from the track You Are the War. This song is utterly epic, as was our conversation. Later Amy Pickering drops by for part two of our Lungfish conversation. I'm really proud of this one and honored to be able to offer these meditations on what this group mind/band mean to me and...

OK folks, it's  time to dive into the stellar and atomic worlds or the Lungfish instrumental music. My guest Geff Cassuto did a great job breaking down what makes Lungfish minus vocals still so powerful and transdimensional. It was also deeply rewarding to converse with Amy Pickering (Fire Party/Dischord), who fans might recall lent some brain melting vocals to the track Pray For the Living....

Don't let this weeks lo-fi audio deter you, it's a banger and a philosophic treat! Joining me to talk music, tattooing, painting and of course Wailing is tattoo shaman Steve Byrne. It's a far-ranging conversation worth eavesdropping. Feral Hymns producer Tim Green also returns for part two of last episode's interview. If you reside in or near San Francisco, be sure to come to S...

What a great time...so much fun I had to break the fourth (time) wall and go long for this one. First up, Dan and Josh, from the mighty Landowner, stop by and dissect the immaculate and multilayered track of the day, with great insight and aplomb. Then we talk to Tim Green about producing Feral Hymns. I'm telling you. this one is well worth the ride....

From the birthing songs to the final breaths of the band,..today we start the journey through the final complete work, Feral Hymns! All Creation Bows is the perfect opener as an invocation of the Mystery. Discussing the track with me this show is Jason Shirrone. This episode also features the second part of the Jason Farrell interview. For anyone who somehow isn't familiar with him, he played...

Family is important, community is important, a congregation is important. All these aggregates  of union find a Technicolor uneasy home in the world of the song "Fambly" by Lungfish. These concepts merge and mutate with a yearning for transcendence, suited in armor for an unnamed war. The last track on Lungfish's debut closes the circuit and plants the seed for what will follow. You...
