Generators in the Desert
Listen now
Description
In this episode, Mike TV discusses his teen years in Palm Desert as part of the community that Rolling Stone Magazine dubbed the "Generator Scene". It was the birthplace and birth...uh...time of Desert Rock which is a sub-genre of stoner rock. Mike TV's band didn't subscribe to the sound of the desert, as they were one of the few hook-oriented bands but even so, his band the Spriggans played out in the middle of the desert, along with all the other desert rock bands, surrounded by sand dunes and hundreds of fellow teens. This episode is a reflection on how that shaped Mike's perspectives on music, on privilege, on authority, and on scene building. This episode features two brand-new recordings from Mike TV's side-project band, Anal Worm. Namely, The Internet is Down and We Don't Like You, We Like Beer. And this episode also features two songs from Get Set Go's newest album, Juggernaut. Those songs are Off With Their Heads and Ride The Tiger. And the last track is a completely new recording of Get Set Go's Flee The Sickness.
