XVI
By Scott Reid | 16 August 2011
No Big Hair podcast #16 is dedicated to the upcoming return of our long-missing Ponytail guestcast-slash-interview from 2008. Why long-missing? It’s a boring story, and it’ll only make sense if you remember what media-streaming site “iMeem” was before it got sold to Myspace (well-timed!) and immediately shut down/locked out all of its accounts—as in the exact same day it was bought out, without notice, to the glee of everyone who’d spent months, if not years, building up a database. So, in short, not that you need another reason to make fun of them these days: it’s totally Myspace’s fault.
Anyway—we’ll be adding it to our Guestcast and Mixcloud pages a week from today. The mix serves as, according to the band, a portrait of their influences, including the Slits, Bruce Haack, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Brian Eno & John Cale, P-Model, Solex, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Craig Leon, and more.
Until then, enjoy a NBHcast lovingly curated for your last month-or-so of summer:
