183. PETE KEMBER (A.K.A. SONIC BOOM) RATES SPACEMEN 3 (PART ONE)

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.
