As a long-time friend and a true hero of ours, having the chance to discuss your work was a personal highlight.The impact you have made as a pillar of outsider music—through Wheelchair Full of Old Men Records and your work with Sockeye, Fossil Fuel, and The Poops—cannot be overstated. During the episode, we wanted to express how fundamental your label and your music have been to our own creative work and our broader perception of art.Thank you for sharing the history of the label since its inception in 1988 and discussing the evolution of your projects over the years. I am looking forward to sharing this conversation with our listeners.Best regards,I Hate Music--------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.Produced by Jason Walton for Earth in Sound Productions.--------------------Support the podcast by becoming a Patreon member here: IHM PatreonFollow us on socials, donate to support the podcast, and visit us online: I Hate Music LinktreeEmail and listener suggestions to: hate.pod.music@gmail.com- Part of the Distorted Paths Podcast Network - Hosted on Acast.

| 4/8/26 | ![]() Episode 110 - Real Death and Violence in Music | No, we don’t mean “Human” and “Eternal Nightmare.” We are raising a question regarding whether actual violence and death associated with music and art changes your perception of the artist and the work itself.Specifically, does Burzum sound different to you knowing Varg killed Euronymous? Can you still listen to Burzum? More broadly, how do the actions of artists affect your enjoyment of their art, whether positively or negatively?Ultimately, can you separate the art from the artist, and does Mayhem's music sound better to you given their history of violence.--------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.Produced by Jason Walton for Earth in Sound Productions.--------------------Support the podcast by becoming a Patreon member here: IHM PatreonFollow us on socials, donate to support the podcast, and visit us online: I Hate Music LinktreeEmail and listener suggestions to: hate.pod.music@gmail.com- Part of the Distorted Paths Podcast Network - Hosted on Acast.

| 3/4/26 | ![]() Episode 106 - Iron Maiden & Faith No More: Surviving and Thriving with New Vocalists | We’ve toyed with an idea for a while that seemed just crazy enough to work: "What similarities are there between Iron Maiden switching vocalists from Paul Di’anno to Bruce Dickinson, and Faith No More moving from Chuck Mosley to Mike Patton?" Despite the unusual premise, we found more parallels than expected.In this piece, we compare and contrast both bands before and after their respective lineup changes. We discuss the catalysts for these transitions, the resulting impact on the music, and how a band can survive such a potentially catastrophic shake-up. We also explore the merits of singers who may not be technically proficient, like Chuck Mosley, and how vocal character can often make all the difference.--------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.Produced by Jason Walton for Earth in Sound Productions.--------------------Support the podcast by becoming a Patreon member here: IHM PatreonFollow us on socials, donate to support the podcast, and visit us online: I Hate Music LinktreeEmail and listener suggestions to: hate.pod.music@gmail.com- Part of the Distorted Paths Podcast Network - Hosted on Acast.

| 12/3/25 | ![]() Episode 103 - Invasive Plants, Touring, and Passion Killers with Sarah Woods | You’ve seen her behind the mixing board working with bands such as Front Line Assembly, Corrosion of Conformity, Blood Incantation, and Agalloch. She’s toured with Alice Cooper and Judas Priest. She consistently makes your concert experiences sound better and you should thank her for it. She gives the craft the respect it deserves, and furthers the craft itself with her care, precision, and attitude. You should thank her for that too. Sarah Woods is a world class audio engineer who has been making waves in the audio world lately. From killing it at FOH in small venues, to large arenas and huge festivals, to small mixing desks in the forest, Sarah has skills rarely seen, an unbelievable ear, and a passion for the craft that makes her stand out from the apathetic over-worked cliche’ soundperson. Sarah has a fascinating story. Starting as a music-lover and musician herself, to finding her feet as an audio engineer working for places like ESPN, and now touring the world with her favorite bands, Sarah seems to have it all. We discuss the joys and hardships of living off of music, the pleasures of touring, and what it’s like to live your dream.

| 2/14/25 | ![]() Episode 93 - Another Great Love Song | Here at I Hate Music we love love. Today is Valentine's Day so maybe today we will even love music! Most musical genres are known, and perhaps even defined by, love songs. But what about metal? Are ballads the only type of song in metal that has the theme of romantic love? Do bands like Cannibal Corpse have love songs? What defines a love song? What are some great love songs?In this episode we dive into love in metal, love in music, some listener emails, and even listen to a love song or two.Don't pass the aux, that's old school. Sit down, shut up, listen - and if you have something to say to us, email us. We love you.--------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.
