Dunums is a project that describes itself as "Arty, noisey, post-rock, bedroom fake-jazz for a free Palestine.

TSC35: 2023 Albums You May Have Missed

Dec 26 2023 200 mins

As a year, 2023 was an abomination. Thankfully, the music makers made some great music for us. New friend and fellow Flenser enthusiast, Wes, hopped on the show to discuss a bunch of 2023 albums we thought were overlooked in the usual music fandom spaces. We each chose four AOTY and then another five runner ups so strap in because this one went long…fuck else you got to do? Ceas

TSC32: When Hardcore Goes Adjacent w/ Jay Papandreas (Listen Up, Nerds)

Jul 25 2023 209 mins

Hardcore music is shit hot right now and more than ever, a lot of decidedly non-hardcore music has snuck past the pit and onto show flyers. Who let all this adjacent bullshit through the gates and is any of it even good? To help answer these dire questions, I enlisted writer and supreme music nerd, Jay Papandreas (Listen Up, Nerds) to help with the task of picking out some of the m

TSC30: anticon. Records w/ Alex Volz (Every Album Ever Podcast)

Apr 18 2023 201 mins

anticon. were called a lot of things in their heyday. "Avant Garde Hip Hop". "Nerd Rap". "Emo Rap". "Not hip hop". "The hip hop equivalent of post-rock" (really). Regardless, the sprawling collective of eccentric wonderkids that called themselves anticon. remained uncompromising throughout the crew's legendary artistic run from 1998 - 2014. Fellow anticon. comrade, Alex Volz, of th

TSC28: The Early Works of Cerberus Shoal w/ Jeremy DeVine (Temporary Residence Ltd.)

Jan 19 2023 124 mins

Restless. Prescient. Overlooked. Cerberus Shoal were an enigma of the 90s post-hardcore scene, progenitors of what would come to be known as post-rock, gurus of lush ambient rock, and ensemble avant-folk heroes. The Portland, Maine band evolved more between individual releases than most artists do throughout their careers. I was fortunate enough to have Jeremy DeVine, founder of th
