Alex talks about the fun he had in Los Angeles at Das Bunker 21, and Bruce gets real worked up about Blade Runner on this week's episode of We Have a Technical.

All that, the expected festival updates and the even more expected horsing around about sub-par fantasy novels await you, the listener, on the newest installment of the idieyoudie.com podcast.

Thrill to the discussion, chill to the pointed commentary and kill some time with Alex and Bruce on the official I Die: You Die podcast.

This month's Patreon-supported commentary podcast takes up an exquisitely crafted piece of industrial-pop fusion, Necro Facility's 2011 LP "Wintermute".

A year of exciting new releases from artists who've made some of our favourite music of the past few years continues! The sophomore LP from Seeming is just around the corner, so we got on the horn with Alex Reed (and some ghosts who may have stowed away on Skype) to talk about "SOL: A Self-Banishment Ritual". What lies beyond an ending? Is there a continuum between jazz and noise? Is listening to too much EBM causing a crick in your back? The ever-eloquent Dr. Reed holds forth on these topics and plenty more on the latest episode of We Have a Technical, the I Die: You Die podcast. 

Cheap Thrills are the subject du jour on this week's Pick Five style episode of We Have A Technical.

On this month's Patreon-supported and selected bonus commentary podcast we're running through the paces on their favourite pure goth rock record of the new millennium; the long-gestating debut of London's Pretentious, Moi? Contradictions abound in the band and in the record: it's a solo project but also a supergroup, the record's a classic return to the second wave of goth rock but also the debut record from a band formed during the second wave, it's as pure as goth rock can get but consistently lines itself with overt dance and synth figures. We've got a lot to say about the band, the record, and what makes it stand out head and shoulders above so many ostensibly similar records, so join us as we discuss it, track by track on We Have a Commentary! 

Hey listener! Are you excited to listen to two guys who where almost exclusively band t-shirt and jeans talk about the fashion of Our Thing? Well boy howdy, have we got a podcast for you: this one!

  Records by Grendel and The Hope Blister are on the docket in this week's episode of the podcast. How does "Timewave Zero" rework aggrotech sounds for a brighter future?

On this month's Patreon-supported and selected bonus commentary podcast Alex and Bruce talk Ministry's love-it-or-hate-it new wave debut "With Sympathy".

What he say? Find out on We Have a Commentary! 

Bruce and Alex jibber jabber about the role of sampled voices in industrial music. From staccato cut ups and obscure manipulations to easily recognizable movie samples from cinematic blockbusters, what role does the human voice play in a non singing capacity in Our Thing? We also chat about some upcoming tours and the great Severed Heads show we just saw, all this week on We Have a Technical.  

This week some of our Patreon backers join us to talk about a trio of records that hail from right here in Vancouver.

Does industrial "clean" funk up or does it keep it dirty? And does Prince figure into this, like all things? All that plus some thoughts on Complex and Boy Harsher. All this week on the official I Die: You Die podcast. 

We're delving deep into the roots of darkwave for this month's We Have A Commentary bonus podcast! Yep, it's not less a foundational record than Clan Of Xymox's "Medusa" which we're discussing. How does it fit into the radically distinct phases of Ronny Moorings' career?

Perhaps more than any band in existence, Skinny Puppy remains the essential to our fandom and understanding of Our Thing.

The second of our Mount Rushmore Conversations centers on a band we talk about a lot, maybe more than any other.

Taking the place of We Have a Commentary this month is the first in our 4 part Mount Rushmore Conversations series. Essentially designed to reflect a more conversational and discussion between Bruce and Alex, the idea is to talk about the four acts we consider foundational to I Die: You Die, with the conversation going wherever it may, with no goals or structure. Just too friends talking about a band they really like. First up: Haujobb!

On this Patreon-supported podcast we do a commentary track for The Gothsicles 2006 scene-skewering classic "Nesferatu".

All on this month's episode of We Have a Commentary! 

On this episode of We Have a Technical Bruce and Alex play the Pick 5 game with projects that only had one release!

It's the time of the month when we record and release one of our special We Have a Commentary podcasts, supported by our backers at www.patreon.com/idieyoudie! The album this month was selected by our patrons, and overwhelmingly they wanted to hear us talk about Laibach's landmark LP "Opus Dei". Thrill to the Queen references, both overt and hidden as we chat about the lasting power of the NSK's most populist statement! 

It's a Schrodinger's Goth episode of We Have A Technical! Bruce and Alex Pick Five goth records by non-goth artists. What is goth? What is not goth? These are the angels on the head of a pin type questions the Senior Staff are coming at from a variety of musical angles this week.

On this episode of We Have a Technical, Bruce and Alex take up the shadowy and nebulous notion of occult and Satanic imagery in industrial and goth music.

Bruce and Alex listen to their mutual favourite album of 2010: Ashbury Heights' "Take Cair Paramour"! The discussion touches upon synthpop's straddling of the mainstream and underground, extended arch metaphor, and, maybe most importantly, the stellar songwriting of Anders Hagström.
