183. SONIC BOOM (A.K.A. PETE KEMBER)) REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND SPACEMEN 3 AND RATES ALL THEIR RECORDS (PART 1: THE EARLY DAZE)

With Dave’s Mom undergoing home hospice during the taping of this episode, this 6 1/2 hour interview series literalizes the ego-death slant of this classic psych band's lyrics. Whether or not you’re on drugs, Spacemen 3 has the absolute best music to keep you grounded during life’s rollercoaster freakouts.

Here’s just a few of the many things Pete and I discuss in this podcast:

• The creative advantages of favoring electric razor and washing machine sounds to band-created music as his building blocks of influence;
• His early days at art college, as his friendship with Jason Pierce started shooting out sparks;
• And a Discograffiti first: a narcotics deep-dive during which Pete reveals the substances that had the largest influence on the Spacemen 3 sound.
• Not to mention, in a Director’s Cut exclusive, a convincing diatribe on the life-sustaining power of plant farts.
