There are few things more thrilling than getting to have a conversation with one of your musical heroes from your own musican youth. In this episode, a conversation with David J — bassist, songwriter, producer, poet, and one of the true architects of post-punk and gothic rock. As a co-founder of Bauhaus, David helped create one of the most influential and groundbreaking bands of the late 1970s and early '80s. He later went on with fellow Bauhaus members Daniel Ash and David Haskins in the formation of Love and Rockets, an equally important band that fused psychedelia, alternative rock, pop, and underground cool beyond words. David J has also built a rich solo career, releasing a catalog of music that explores everything from cabaret and spoken word to avant-garde rock, noir balladry, and intimate pop infused songwriting.

If you’re into post-punk, goth rock, Bauhaus, Love and Rockets, alternative music, music production, artist interviews, and epitome of \"cool,\" this episode is for you.
