Episode 82: Playing Alone, with Others

Erica Moulinier and Aaron Grey run the small post-punk label Play Alone Records. Play Alone‘s expanding roster of bands includes: Shadow Age, Silent Age, Silence, Empty Beings, Death Instinct, Wisteria, and Ky Voss. We talk about all these bands as well as the importance of stewardship, how to run an independent label in the age where recorded music has no monetary value, and how fun it would be to time travel back to the first show The Cure ever played.

You should check out The Official Play Alone Records Website to sample all these great bands and stay on top of upcoming releases.

And would you believe we almost forgot to swear?

Episode 77: Enter the Skullcast 11

For the last 11 years, mutants have been invading Pittsburgh at the end of August, and we’re talking to two of the people responsible, Dusty Hanna and Erica Moulinier. In this podcast, we look behind the scenes and into the inner workings of Skull Fest. Actually, most of the time we just sit around and geek out over bands we want to see at Skull Fest 11 on August 15th to the 18th in 2019. However, making Skull Fest is an educational experience. Dusty and Erica know all about the kind of guitar pedals legendary British Postpunk bands need to get their signature sound, and last year they learned all about the Cro-Mags’ dining habits. We also explain nicely but forcefully why you shouldn’t move to Pittsburgh if you haven’t already.

Come to Skull Fest! Dusty and Erica discuss this year’s lineup of bands in depth, and while weekend passes have been sold out, tickets to individual shows are available on the Skull Fest Website. Added bonus, if you go to Skull Fest you can see me wearing cargo shorts and maybe I’ll give you a bottled water out of the trunk of my car.

This is yet another podcast where I swear gratuitously as I explain to a guest they are allowed to swear.

Episode 58: Deathrock Jubilee

For this episode goth DJ, record label founder, and accountant Erica Moulinier stops by to talk death, rock, deathrock, accounting, and the importance of creating an infrastructure for the things you love.

Along the way, we talk punk culture, the philosophy of Ernst Cassirer, being addicted to the joy of discovery, and fond memories of counting change at grandma’s house.  Oh, and we also chat about why Morrissey makes us sadder now than ever.

Erica is a DJ for the Second Skin, a regular goth dance series at Brillobox in Pittsburgh.  Erica also has started a record label called Play Alone Records, that is poised to take over the world in 2018.  She is also offers accounting services for dreamers and misanthropes at her business Moulin Consulting.

And as always, I can’t help but say the F-word.
