Vlad is a politics and war writer but also something of a bon vivant. He keeps notebooks of drawings and collages that are quite good.Vlad phoned in from the Unsafe House, the art collective (of sorts) of none other than painter and former Kirac member Tarik Sadouma. Tarik makes a brief appearance.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON https://www.patreon.com/posts/asgardsrei-w-134279195?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkOST:DK Energerytk "Egepretkv" https://music.apple.com/us/album/%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B3%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BA/1681714424?i=1681714871Kroda "Hasta la Muerte" https://youtu.be/E_m481QjdyM?si=WWm4uWX7tkmkB745Monument Strakha "I Know Why" https://ultrasomnambulau.bandcamp.com/album/never-cryPeste Noire live at Asgardsrei https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGVdCUdGS1wChervi "Evil Game" https://ultrasomnambulau.bandcamp.com/album/evil-game-2LINKS:Check out Vlad's new Substack https://vladislavdavidzon.substack.com/ The Unsafe House https://www.the-unsafe-house.com/Check out Vlad's art https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/vlad-davidzon-ukraine-notebooks-art

Apologies about our slow pace, work and life priorities have distanced us from our cause, which we are now here to reclaim once more.

Malcom Tent is an under appreciated legend of underground rock n' roll. From entering into the punk fold in South Florida in the 1980s with his hardcore band Broken Talent, to forming the sub-underground noise rock collective Bunny Brains, to playing in one of the most important lineups of American black metal group Profanatica, to collaborating with none other than GG ALLIN, to owning the iconic record shop Trash American Style, to acting as the proprietor of the label TPOS, Tent's distinctive stamp is all over the American sub-underground. Luckily enough, he's here on the podcast, telling all of these stories.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR THE FULL EPISODEhttps://www.patreon.com/posts/trash-american-w-126126685?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkLINKS:Malcolm Tent website https://www.malcolmtent.net/Bunny Brains https://www.bunnybrains.com/Malcolm's Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@malcolmtent5186 

A very special episode here, featuring none other than Dutch artist and director of the infamous KIRAC film series Stefan Ruitenbeek and his benefactor, the Dutch art collector Philip Van Den Hurk. We attempt to understand just why Philip would allow himself to become a character in the KIRAC universe, which Philip explains brings him a kind of limit experience. Stefan explains the erotic dynamics in their relationship. Episode ends with Philip trying to strawman Adam with the abortion issue.

Philly based musician and artist Morgan Garrett's excellent recent album Purity has been compared to bands as unrelated as Korn and the Shadow Ring by midwit rock writers. Nevertheless, there is something interesting about the references, and Adam found himself shocked by how fascinated he was by this strange, disorienting and highly original music.
