I had a lot of fun talking with Duane Warr of the heavy metal project, Dwarr. Duane is warrior in the army of God and his love for serving Christ is evident through his retelling of a dozen great stories from his degen days, missionary trips, making of his albums and Drag City reissues, tour with Black Bananas, and his plans for a comeback. Hope you enjoy our conversation.

As with a most of our phone calls we cover a lot of ground from the progressive push to a post-human goo, misconceptions of Good vs Evil, toxic Wholesome Culture in the church, and how he found God.

I speak with an original Christian weirdo, Glen Galloway, aka Glen Galaxy, about God. Glen's best-known work includes the 90s spazz-rocker of Trumans Waters, which collaborated with Thurston Moore and Cat Power, and my personal favorite, Soul-Junk, a noisy-berserk-hop-experimental-whatever project combined with Scriptures.

[Intro: "Israel & The Limping Hip" — Soul-Junk]
[00:00:00] Catching up, musical influences, musical career, like-minded artists started finding each other (Psalters, Danielson)
[00:28:00] Turning point after becoming unglued by mainstream worship music (John Mark McMillan, Jesus Culture)
[00:35:00] Power in repetitive music (eg, Jonathan Helser, Hong Kong protestors, Gavin Bryars, Upperroom)
["Sing Hallelujah to the Lord" — Hong Kong protestors]
[01:18:00] A concerning dream
[01:25:00] We die
["5 Star Crest (4 Vattenrum)" — Bladee]
[Outro: "Secret" — Parallel Stereo]
