Radical Research is a conversation about the inner- and outer-reaches of rock and metal music, hosted by Jeff Wagner and Hunter Ginn.

The practice of logging weekly listening is, admittedly, a bit nerdy. But it isn't showboating or "lookit how much music I can listen to." It's just that we've come to absolutely adore all of you, your music choices, and enthusiasm. These are all given/taken as recommendations, and the sharing of our passion for music. No more, no less. So indulge, enjoy, and don't get too concerned about the list-making itself. Turn off the lights and the real world, submit, and listen...

It was a magnificent weekend spent with three of my best friends, Chris Rushing Gorging Shade and . The next plague_psalm is going to be special and very different from what we’ve done before. Between the four of us, we have lots of new music on the horizon. Very grateful. Will keep you posted. Have a great rest of the weekend, Legions. Love you!

Happy Friday, Legions. Wishing you light and peace. Jeff and I will be recording the second@part@of@our Anathema catalog trawl this afternoon. It could get emotional. Tomorrow, along with Gorging Shade and Chris Rushing , we begin work on the next Plague Psalm record. We are going to be joined by some extraordinary friends for this one. Stay tuned. Love you all and thank you all for being a part of our lives.
