The Spindle: Mudhoney, "Touch Me I'm Sick"
This week, Mark and John dig into the 1988 single by Mudhoney, "Touch Me I'm Sick" b/w "Sweet Young Thing Ain't Sweet No More." Emerging from the ashes of Green River and led by Mark Arm, Mudhoney would go on to be a huge part of Sub Pop Records history, and this gnarly anthem has more than stood the test of time. This week on The Spindle, Mark and John dig in. They're diseased, but we don't mind. Read more.

WASTOIDS With...Marc Masters (The Spindle)
This is WASTOIDS With and we're hanging with a voice that should be familiar to listeners, Marc Masters, co-host of The Spindle podcast. Every two weeks, he and his partner John Howard discuss a single 7” record here on WASTOIDS. So far, they’ve covered 45s by Flipper, Pavement, Superchunk, and Hüsker Dü. Marc’s also a musician—he and John played in a group called The Plums—as well as one of our favorite music writers, whose work can be read Pitchfork, Bandcamp, NPR, The Washington Post, and The Wire. His 2007 book No Waveis sadly out of print, but commands high dollar prices on the secondary market, and he’s hard at work on a book about the history of cassettes, which we discuss here today on WASTOIDS With…Marc Masters.

WASTOIDS With...Diners
Hey welcome to another episode WASTOIDS With…Blue Broderick of Diners. For the last decade, she's cruised along highways and byways of the DIY all-ages indie rock scene. Her latest is called Four Wheels and the Truth, and it’s filled with tuneful, hooky pop rock. She joined us to discuss the new album, her newfound expression of trans identity, and the music of her ‘70s inspirations, think Beach Boys, Beatles, and the like. Read more.
