    #3 on White Zombie (1932) AND WHITE ZOMBIE: Sean Yseult, Rob Zombie, Jay Yuenger, Ivan DePrume
    Jan 25 2025
    Today is the IVAN DEPRUME INTERVIEW EPISODE! WOOOO! Also featuring more retrospective on the 1932 White Zombie film and narratives provided by Rob Zombie, Sean Yseult and Jay Yuenger from old interviews and blogs and books. The fine people at Radish Mattress and I will cover, among other topics: Ivan’s upbringing in Brooklyn, his drum heros, and how he fit into the band over the yearsRebuilding the engine on the White Zombie van for their early toursThe elements of his 1992 drum kit that he still owns and uses in his recent projectsHow his mother got to America to escape Nazi occupation and death camps in Ukraine and PolandThe Boundless Joy album and tour last yearHis best times in the gym with Rob ZombieHis impression of every White Zombie guitarist over the yearsHis view of Sean and Rob’s separation and how it led to the splintering of the band’s family vibeHow he ate on the first European tour after blowing all his per diem money on a bitchin pair of leather pantsThe scary encounters on the road to places like revolution-wracked Yugoslavia and the Berlin Wall when it was torn downThe bogus story Rob made up about why Ivan left White Zombie and the audio of Rob making bullshit up onstage on Phil’s first night behind the kitIvan’s views on how to best live life and take care of the people and communities around usMy breakdown of Victor Halperin’s techniques in the film “White Zombie” and the way the movie made me feel all these years after first seeing it in 1996An exploration of Jay Yuenger’s studio notes on “La Sexorcisto” and “Astro Creep” including the Phaser trick on “Blur the Technicolor”A dip back into Rob Zombie’s history starting after his “PeeWee’s Playhouse” experience and the indie NYC noise band scene White Zombie was entrenched in at the time. Also his time doing layout and typesetting for little known porno magsA wrap up of Sean Yseult’s narrative on her years in the band and the noble modesty she displays by not using it to air any dirty laundry and simply highlight all the fun times and great people she experienced when the band got big. I mean, lots of other people would make an entire book about what it was like in the 80s and 90s if they were involved romantically with Rob Zombie, Dave Wyndorf and Al Jourgensen, right? But instead you get drawings and handwritten sheet music and cool electric basses and homemade costumes and cocktail party themes.And through it all there’s plenty of helpful input from our sponsor representative brand officer CEO of Radish Mattress/Bootleg Ayhueasca of Canton, Ohio Inc. We praise and thank them for their partnership, and all heads must bow and each tongue shall confess and every knee shall bend for Radish Mattress.

    La Bamba! (1987) #2 | Ritchie Valens & Luis Valdez
    Jun 2 2024

    Today we finish up Ritchie's story with some more background on the filmmaker and the movie I've come to love even more and apparently get goddamn defensive about.

    • Reviewing the legacy of the film via a look back with Valdez and Lou Diamond Phillips
    • TV Tropes about "La Bamba!"
    • My takeaways about the making of the film in 3 parts
    • A look back at Luis Valdez's career and activism featuring a note about his cousin ("that vato?") Caesar Chavez and the work of Teatro Campesino
    • A brief look at the historical significance of American Pauchocos with a detour into some James Ellroy because I wanted to and it's my show, dammit
    • More of Ritchie Valens' life story and rock n' roll legacy continued from last episode
    • Me getting REAL cranky about a douchey Pitchfork article I read while conducting research for this one
    • An update on the show's ongoing relationship with Radish Mattress, Inc

    Today: A return to Tosches! Checking in on the state of the Stones as they prep for a return to American crowds in '69. And an exploration of the relationship between SUN and CHESS records from 1950-1951, around the time of "Rocket 88", as well as why it's called "The first Rock n' Roll record" by some. It's really not, but the question of what actually is is kind of dumb anyway.

  • La Bamba! (1987) | Ritchie Valens, Lou Diamond Phillips, Curt Sobel

    La Bamba! (1987) | Ritchie Valens, Lou Diamond Phillips, Curt Sobel
    Apr 14 2024

    I don't know how to warn you I might get a little wibbly-bibbly in the wobbles during this one. Verklempt, if you will. Similar to the way I was on the CROW episodes processing the loss of Brandon Lee all over again. Ritchie was clearly a marvel and a unique talent in ways I didn't understand until now. To be a guitar hero and a hit songwriter and a teen idol at the same time is a hurculean accomplishment for a 17-year-old kid from Pacoima, California in 1958. And I struggled a bit when jumping on the mic right after my research. This goes back to me being a little kid when I saw the film and begged my dad for a cassette tape of the soundtrack, which I treasured. Rock n' Roll, baby. Rock n' roll.

    It's gonna be a bit of this n' that:

    • The first impressions of Ritchie by his most prominent biographer, Beverly Mendheim, while she struggled to suss out his ethnicity as an impressionable teenager
    • The career struggles and ongoing activism of Lou Diamond Phillips, who is more consistently successful as an actor than many would realize (Me. I mean me, until now)
    • The masterful music editing of Curt Sobel on La Bamba! while working closely with Los Lobos and director Luis Valdez (more on him in the next episode!!!)
    • Ed Ward's dumbass take on Ritchie in the modern era that rivals even his awful reviews of The Beatles back in the late 60s
    • Readings from a very concise, but effective bio on Ritchie taken from a guitar tab book that I highly recommend

    Bonus material: The Diablo Guitars Interview with lil' ol' Moi
    Mar 30 2024

    I shared a link to this youtube video when it came out, but providing audio now for anyone who would like to listen. It's been a couple months, so I don't feel like this cuts into their Youtube traffic at all. And even if that was the case, I'm unsure as to whether this interview series will even continue now that Glenn himself is no longer with the brand. Enjoy!
