In 1977, The Kinks recorded one of the best and nastiest Christmas songs ever, in which a mall Santa gets shouted down and whooped by kids who need much more than presents. On the latest episode of the 7" showcase series The Spindle, Marc and John dig into "Father Christmas" b/w "Prince of the Punks," and John gives us a Kinks primer to boot!

You've probably heard Gary Numan's "Cars," a huge hit in 1979 and 1980. But the serendipitous story about how Numan became an unintentional synth hero might surprise you. John and Marc delve into this awesome blast of punk-infused futurism on the latest episode of the Spindle.

Television's first 7-inch seemed designed not to be a hit: a 7-minute song stretched across two sides, released on a brand new label with no distribution. On this edition of The Spindle, John and Marc delve into the history behind "Little Johnny Jewel," which didn't dent the charts but set this New York quartet up for its legendary debut album, Marquee Moon.

Decoy Deloy is back with a hot dose of Music News, brought to you by Hello Merch. Whether you’re looking to source, print, sell, or buy merch, HELLO has you covered. And this week at Hello it’s all about HEAVY METAL. That’s Heavy Metal, the debut solo album from Cameron Winter, frontman of Geese. Full of groovers, folkie ballads, and strange story songs, Cameron’s label Partisan records says the album, “draws on both the chaos of the road and Winter’s greater sense of existential dread.” Chaos and existential dread? Why does that sound so familiar? 

In other news, Portland's Project Pabst goes down July 26 and 27 at Waterfront Park. Who's playing? Decoy fills you in. 

And to close, on Tuesday, February 25th, Tim Heidecker and The Very Good Band came to Phoenix, Arizona to play The Crescent Ballroom with special guest Fred Armisen. Decoy shares his thoughts about the gig and explains why Heidecker's music is so surprising.

Today on WASTOIDS, a call with Kiefer Shackleford. An inventive pianist, he’s a veteran of the Los Angeles scene. He's been busy in 2021: in April, he released the Between Days EP, featuring a great Cure cover, and last month, a new full length, When There’s Love Around. 

Layering full band instrumentation with synths and upright piano, he’s reflective of an ethos that borrows and blends from new age, jazz, '70s soul, funk, post-Dilla crate digging beats, and ambient soundscapes. His work recently caught the ear of Drake producer 40, who commissioned some piano sketches for Drake’s Certified Lover Boy. 

We caught up with him for this episode of Strange Gear to discuss his creative outlook, incorporating synths into his work—namely the Prophet 600—and discuss the value of working on art even when—sometimes especially when—you don’t feel like it. Thanks for listening to WASTOIDS—catch Kiefer out on tour this fall.
