105 - Japanoise (ft. Adam Lehrer)

Today on the show we have multimedia artist, author, and jacked rockstar Adam Lehrer chopping it up about Japanese noise and psychedelic rock. We talk bodybuilding, the distinction between noise and noise rock, the entry point of noise, meditation, Osaka as Bohemian Japan, and the mysteries and histories of all these avant-garde power groups.
