On a very special episode of And Introducing, we bring back Matthew Perpetua for his third pod appearance to talk about something a little more personal than Donald Fagen or Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas: Fluxblog, Matthew's mp3 blog that has now reached its landmark 20th year of existence.
 
Gird your loins for a rich and digressive conversation that covers topics such as poptimism, the rude and gross 2000s, how music media has changed over the past two decades, Kylie Minogue and "alt pop" girlies, being the first person in North America to blog about that insanely good song "Heartbeats" by the Knife, and why everyone is always acting like it's the end of the world when it's never really the end of the world.

On this episode of And Introducing, we meet a new type of guy: human vampire, Polish legend, gentle giant, Parks Department tree-hugger, Slim-Fast guzzler, melodramatic romantic, Brooklyn baby, cat dad, and overall agent provocateur Peter Steele. Most famously of the 1990s gothic metal band Type O Negative, Peter achieved a long list of accomplishments in his short lifetime, and we don't just mean his extremely erect appearance in a 1995 issue of Playgirl. 

We're joined by new guest Ryan of AntiArt, an up-and-coming digital publication and podcast breathing some fresh air into Instagram these days. Don't follow AntiArt at your own risk because we are giving it a heart endorsement as the future of music media (seriously). 

Type O Negative - "Christian Woman (8-Bit)"
Fallout - "Batteries Not Included"
Carnivore - "Jesus Hitler"
Agnostic Front - "Public Assistance"
Type O Negative - "Unsuccessfully Coping With The Natural Beauty of Infidelity"

Long before the "metaverse" loomed over us, David Cronenberg's EXISTENZ (1999) imagined a completely immersive virtual environment that is even less cozy than our own. We discuss the film's porous boundary between reality and unreality, and explain why Cronenberg is one of the few Canadian filmmakers who really "gets" Canada. PLUS: Looking back at a moral panic over right-wing art from the early '90s.

We are joined by Justin Roczniak—of the excellent engineering disasters podcast, Well There’s Your Problem—to talk about the potential freight rail strike that has been brewing for a long time and near-future scenarios for the supply chain. We discuss the horrid labor conditions in the industry and the scourge of Precision Scheduled Railroading, a system of management that has transformed the entire railroad sector so it serves one god: The Operating Ratio.

Health Communism w/ Beatrice Adler-Bolton

We discuss a recent investigation by ProPublica into the convergence of real estate, private equity, and algorithmic pricing as they profile a particularly odious company (RealPage) that is selling a technology (YieldStar) to property management companies, which directly leading to severe upward pressures on rental pricing and vacancy rates. Troubled by real estate companies extracting higher margins out of renters in a tight market in ways that raise red flags of collusion? Well, just blame a guy named Bob.
