This week we got to talk to Jen Van Meter, the woman behind Hopeless Savages as well as a variety of DC and Marvel titles! We talked about artistic time management, writers living with writers, 1984 novelization of the movie of the book, and why do fans want you to sleep in a van? Also, please forgive the weird little glitches in the audio. I have no idea what caused them and was not able to fix them.
Also! We totally forgot in our outro to do the thank yous, so thanks to Kelly Bouges, Distorted Memory, and I Die: You Die for sharing last weeks episode!

What a treat! What an absolute treat! This week we have four people on at once, plus us! We got us some WMX, we got some Statiqbloom, we got some Cervello Elettronico, and we got some Blush Response! We talked about house parties, cock fighting, and mic stand sodomy, so there's that. Also it's sort of a short interview, so you get some extra long talking on the outro, where we discuss I Die: You Die's excellent grocery service.

We had the opportunity to chat with Ludovico Technique and Grendel while they were busy ROCKING THE FREE WORLD. Before their excellent Portland show we talked about music philosophies, whether or not selling out your soul for 20 additional fans is worth it, and club curses.

We had ourselves a nice little sit down a while back with Wolves In The Throne Room during their West Coast tour. We talked tour stories, how to smuggle merch across borders, plastic bottles, and why in an age devoid of secrets they are so heavily mythologized.

This is our last entry from the Terminus Files. It feels sad to put a cap on all the wonderful interviews that we managed to get while at Terminus, but on the bright side, there's always next year.
This week we talked with Anthony from Tactical Sekt. Tactical Sekt has been a big influence on both of us hear at TTG INDUSTRIES, and getting the chance to see him perform, then sit down and talk with him was amazing. We discussed changes in technology, why social media shat in its own bed, and what movies made everyone cry recently.

Another entry in the Terminus Files! This time, we talked to 3Teeth! Discussed was the influence that Jennifer Lopez played on their highly acclaimed album, castle parties, and how not all guitar industrial is KMFDM. In the intro Michael and I reveal some of the things we almost called the podcast, and in the outro we set forth a mission for you, our dearest listeners.
Monday again! This week we bring to you fine folks one of our favorite projects - Chrysalide. We had the pleasure of talking to Chrysalide at Terminus Festival in Canada at 4am after their gig. It goes without saying that we were all very tired and in a hotel room where we had to be quiet!
We talk abou their new album, Personal Revolution , nice places to visit in France, and how industrial has taken over their lives.
Folks, there are a lotta people in this room. You got your Alter Der Ruines, you got your Hex-RXes, you got your Kevorkian Death Cycles, you got your Mr.Kitties, you got your Taurant Services and most of all you got your Negative Gain Productions.
We talked tape head cleaner, impossible names, name dropping and filling buckets full of puke. It is a nightmare of hilarity.

This week we bring you our second episode from the Terminus Files!
To start you off, you have Wes's sleep-deprived brain comparing Canada to a break-in, followed by several quick talks with various Terminus attendees and bands, including W.A.S.T.E., Michael Jenny from Alter Der Ruine, Scott Fox from iVardensphere, and Daniel Myer. We also talk to the ladies who were working Terminus's merch booth and selling their art before moving into our sleep deprived outro!
Hopefully you have as much fun listening as we had recording it. We really wanted this episode to give a more rounded out view of what it was like to be at Terminus, and if we came even within a mile of that, we'll be happy.
Again, let us know what you think of the podcast; we're yet to receive any feedback! How we recorded the outro was unusual for this podcast, so we'd like to take this post as an opportunity to give shout outs to the people who shared us, including Jill from Take It For Granted and as always Bruce and Alex at I Die: You Die, who are constantly talking about us!
This episode marks the first episode of the Terminus Files. In this episode, we talked to Bruce and Alex from I Die: You Die. THAT IS CORRECT! Podcast crossover has finally occured. We settled our wrestling beef, imitated the incomparible Daniel Myer, and discussed our pals favorite heel turns. This is not an episode you will want to miss.

For this special bonus episode we headed down to the Tonic Lounge to chat with some show goers, as well as James from Panic Lift and the Surgyn duo! It was a great time, and we got some good feedback from fans about how the show went.
Also in this episode: NO WRESTLING TALK. We had a great time feuding with Alex and Bruce at I Die: You Die, but we don't want to wear the bit into the ground. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go back and listen to our earlier episodes, and the I Die: You Die podcast We Have A Technical!
Today we talked with Dan Weber, a local comedian here in Portland as well as a fellow podcaster. It was a long talk, so we were able to cover topics as varied as Jesus being a bottom, advanced math, obsessively training to kill people with your bare hands, Otherkin, religions founded by the 1% and Tom Cruise.
Oh, and comedy. I guess that got mentioned a bit.
Listen: we're sorry. Ross had a leather couch and it was squeakier than we expected. We talked to Wrahs about his new book Babette: The Many Lives, Two Deaths and Double Kidnapping of Dr. Ellsworth. We heard some hilarious stories, and a couple that were utterly terrifying. Also: we address the broiling feud between us and IDie:YouDie regarding their rassling talk. Who will win in this Podcast Tag Team Championship? Probably them. Almost certainly.
This week, on Talking To Ghosts we end our two week streak of bands who's names start with the word "Dead" by talking with Jon Horrid, owner of the Lovecraft Bar, a horror themed bar located in Portland, OR (NOT New York City, where only imposter Lovecraft Bars exist). Jon tells us about his collection of horror memorabilia, transitioning from punk and metal to industrial, and New York's industrial scene in the early 90's, and Michael and Wes discuss Kanye West's secret life as a zombie hunter.
Today we talk to Zach Wager from Dead Animal Assembly Plant. We discuss paranormal experiences, being weirdos in high school pre- and post-Columbine, and Wes inexplicabley defends Fred Phelps of God Hates Fags fame.
Today, Michael and Wesley interview Michael Holloway, the creative force behind Dead When I Found Her. They talk about trends in industrial, including what is and isn't industrial and why you should talk about what is and isn't industrial, the lack of creative sampling, and singing!
