We Have a Technical #37: An Excuse to Talk Wrestling
Alex and Bruce got drunk after finishing their year end coverage and recorded this interstitial episode of the podcast. We don't talk about new music much, it's more just wrestling, comics, TV whatever. It might be terrible, we don't know.
01:08:1802/01/2015

We Have a Technical #35: Welcome to Erf
In this episode of We Have a Technical, Bruce and Alex listen to and comment on Apoptygma Berzerk's futurepop classic "Welcome to Earth".

01:04:4007/11/2014
We Have a Technical #32: Anonymous and Euphoric
On this extremely rambly episode of We Have a Technical Alex and Bruce have a jaw with Vancouver ex-pat Jack Duckworth of Soft Riot.

57:3623/10/2014
We Have a Technical #31: I Got It Now
On this episode of We Have a Technical Alex and Bruce revisit the format that time forgot, namely the discussion of two recent albums.

We also chat about how much you would have to pay us never to hear songs we like ever again, some upcoming records we enjoy and recount a bit of our adventures in Chicago for Cold Waves! Download for all the industrial, ebm and related music chat you can stand!
01:02:3509/10/2014
We Have a Technical #30: The Crowcast
Bruce and Alex record a commentary track for the Crow Soundtrack. That's right, the good, the bad and the ugly of everyone's favourite goth-alternative soundtrack of the 1990s. Thrill to the anecdotes about The Cure and My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, listen to us bury For Love Not Lisa and marvel at how much two nerds have to say about Machines of Loving Grace.

Marvel at how many times a grown man can say "uh" in the course of a short interstitial segment! Witness the origins of the web's premiere commentary podcast for industrial and related musics! Fuck, I dunno, I need a nap.
