This week’s Rolling with Scissors starts with reflection and ends in pure chaos — from A Perfect Circle’s eMOTIVe to Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite for Destruction to Metallica’s Kill ’Em All and Ride the Lightning. Protest, rebellion, and power — all in one night.
I’ll probably lose my metal card for saying this, but Taylor Swift’s new album The Life of a Showgirl is damn good. Blame Amber for getting the hooks stuck in my head. Between discovering pop that actually hits and replacing my dead 25-year-old Alesis monitors with KRK Rokit 5s, I’ve been reminded that music doesn’t care about genres—it just needs to make you feel something.
After years of silence from big-name artists, Puscifer finally steps up with Normal Isn’t—a record that refuses to play nice. The lead single “Self Evident” doesn’t whisper; it hits like a hammer, tearing through the noise with raw honesty and purpose. This is the sound of art waking the world up.
Originally planned as a Moby deep dive, this week’s episode takes a hard turn into the world of Hackers—the cult ’90s film that turned neon dreams and computer chaos into cinematic legend. We’re exploring all three soundtrack volumes packed with electronic icons like The Prodigy, Underworld, Orbital, and Leftfield. Plus, a quick nod to Ace Frehley of KISS, who left us this week.
Amazon may have spoiled us with two-day shipping, but when it comes to UPS, FedEx, and the rest, delivery is still a mess. Waiting on a 100-pound box with no call, no text, and a useless tracker shows just how broken the system really is in 2025.
From splicing tape with a razor blade to experimenting in Sound Forge, Studio One, and now Reaper, my journey in radio production has changed as much as the technology itself. Live radio may be messy, but digital tools make creating Rolling with Scissors possible today without losing the human spirit that started it all.
This week’s Rolling with Scissors dives into Mike Patton’s world, focusing on Faith No More’s Angel Dust and the genre-bending Peeping Tom. Broadcasting from a still-growing studio in Eau Claire, we celebrate Patton’s chaos in manageable chunks.
Leaving Florida wasn’t about politics — it was about survival. Years of fighting broken accessibility wore me down until I couldn’t do it anymore. In Eau Claire, I’ve found space to breathe, bridges to cross, and a city still shaping its own story. This is about reinvention, community, and the details that make or break everyday life.
Rolling with Scissors is back with a brand-new episode from the new Eau Claire studio, just in time for the WORT pledge drive. After a few weeks of archival shows, Episode 1319 dives deep into the history, humor, and legacy of ZZ Top—from the bearded legends to the only member ironically named Beard.
I didn’t fall off the face of the earth—I just got stuck ten feet in the air on the side of a Greyhound bus, stranded at Dutch Mill, rescued by a guy named Alpha, and accidentally moved to Eau Claire. It’s cheaper than Madison, the apartment’s mostly accessible, the ethernet jack was wired by a drunk raccoon, and Rolling with Scissors is back just in time for the pledge drive.
