I just heard a new band called the Osees. No, not Thee Oh Sees, or Oh Sees, or OCS, Osees.
For the past 20-plus years, John Dwyer has been a musical chameleon appearing in several bands, half of which have a very similar sounding name. He's the musician Keith has seen live most often and no matter the venue or the band around him, he puts on a stellar show. We tell you all about it here.
Alas, during these chaotic and troubling times, there are no concerts and a livestream is all we have to look forward to. Until then, please enjoy the various guises which has been worn by our man of the (not quite half) hour.

EP 22. Record Store Day

The New Dad Rock

play

09/22/20 • 18 min

Vinyl is poised to outsell CDs this year (2020) for the first time since 1986.
A big part of that can be attributed to Record Store Day which has been raising the profile and interest in music on vinyl since 2008. From humble beginnings with just 10 special releases to this year's COVID-inspired four consecutive months of Record Store Days featuring hundreds of unique, exclusive, and early releases, it has grown into a global phenomenon.
Join Steve as he regales Keith with why he made the vinyl plunge and shares some of his favorite releases from Record Store Days past.
Even if you can't make one of the Record Store Day Drops (9/26, 10/24) or Black Friday, please visit your local independent record store. Even if you haven't played vinyl since the 80s.
Check out some of the selections we mentioned in this weeks chat:
Stephen Malkmus - Cold Son EP
The Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen at 21
Jimi Hendrix - Message to Love/Changes
The Flaming Lips - Onboard the International Space Space Station Concert for Peace
Pavement - Quarantine the Past [RSD Version]
John Coltrane - Both Directions at Once
Squalus - The Great Fish

EP 21. Electronic Avenue

The New Dad Rock

play

09/15/20 • 22 min

By the late 80s, the halcyon sound of synthesizers and electronic drums had become ubiquitous. No artist was safe from the effervescent mechanical march that swept up Rush and resulted in Judas Priest's make most controversial album (Turbo). But this episode has literally nothing to do with any of that.
You're welcome.
No, this week The New Dad Rock delves deep into the uncanny valley. From innocent beginnings in machine learning with Depeche Mode we delve headlong into the industrial lairs of Ministry and Nine Inch Nails. The snapping jaws of Skinny Puppy give way to our cyberpunk future. Anxiety sets in and the end of the world vibe of the late-90s forgets the despair to make the best of what's still around.
So rave 'til dawn with Keith, Steve, and very special guest, H.A. Eugene as they stroll down Electronic Avenue.
