Episode #109: The Vandals & Glory Daze

The Vandals' 1995 album, Live Fast Diarrhea, gets a snazzy 25th anniversary vinyl repress this week from Craft Recordings. To celebrate, we spoke with both the band's guitarist, Warren Fitzgerald, as well as bassist Joe Escalante, about the music of Glory Daze and their appearance in the Penelope Spheeris cult classics, Suburbia and Dudes, as well as the new Live Fast Diarrhea repress.

This a massive interview and we only made it up through 1995. It gets weird and rambly, but it’s totally fun.

Tracklist

The Vandals, "Theme from Glory Daze" (Glory Daze OST)

The Vandals, "Urban Struggle" (Peace Through Vandalism)

The Vandals, "Take It Back" (Live Fast Diarrhea)

The Vandals, "And Now We Dance" (Live Fast Diarrhea)

Episode #89: Richard Patrick of Filter

Many know Richard Patrick as the only static member of the band Filter. Prior to the formation of Filter, Richard cut his teeth in a band called Nine Inch Nails. In addition to hits like "Hey Man Nice Shot" and "Take A Picture," Filter's music has been featured in everything from Tales from the Crypt's Demon Knight to Spawn to The X-Files -- both the series and the movies.

Filter's platinum-selling 1999 sophomore album, Title of Record, recently received a deluxe double vinyl reissue through Craft Recordings for its 20th anniversary. We spoke with the band's frontman and singer via Skype about all this and more.

Tracklist:

Filter, "Hey Man Nice Shot" (Short Bus)

Filter and the Crystal Method, "Can't You Trip Like I Do" (Spawn OST)

Filter, "One" (The X-Files: The Album)

Filter, "Thanks Bro" (Songs in the Key of X)

The group celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, and as part of that, Craft Recordings released a remastered version of Clifford's 1972 album, Cosmo, along with Tom Fogerty's 1972 solo release, Excalibur. We were lucky enough to speak with Clifford about that release for Modern Vinyl, and also managed to sneak in a discussion about the use of Creedence Clearwater Revival in film.

Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Fortunate Son" (Willy & The Poor Boys)

Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Looking Out My Back Door" (Cosmo's Factory)

Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Sinister Purpose" (Green River)
