Episode #86, Krysztof Nemeth

Nineteen eighty-six was wild. The Royals had just won their first World Series. We watched the Space Shuttle Challenger launch on a wheeled-in A/V cart (with its top-shelf television). Saturday Night Live was about to enter one of its golden eras. D.A.R.E. was alive and breathing fear into the minds of kids, and Kansas City police officers handed out Chiefs cards to area youth wherever and whenever they could.Eighty-six, however...as in the service-industry term, holds an entirely different meaning: We're out of that item; it's been 86'd. And I'd like to let you know that my interview with Krysztof Nemeth for Episode No. 86 was something much closer to the former than the latter.Yes. The Emmaline Twist baritone guitarist interview was phenomenal. It was educational. It was exciting.The 85 episodes that came before it were all good fun to do and to produce and to be a part of. They're all special in their own way. But sometimes, a guest just has a flair for conversation, and a knowledge base unique enough to turn your head like that of a sitting dog who's just heard a fascinating noise.So, I really hope you'll join us for this one.We talked a bit about Krysztof's band history (and gave good pause for the current outfit(s)), and -- as you might already know -- it wouldn't be an episode of Badass Records if we didn't spend a little bit of time talking about a few of his favorite records. Those were these:Ultravoxx's Vienna (1980)New Gold Dream (1982), Simple MindsTones on Tail's Pop (1984)The Top (1984), The CureThe Sisters of Mercy's First and Last and Always (1985)Please check out Emmaline Twist's bandcamp page and give them an Instagram follow. And while we're hangin' out in the ask department, you could totally get a head start on your Christmas shopping over at the B.R.P.'s store.Peace and love.copyright disclaimer: I do not own the rights to the musical audio clips featured in this episode.
