WCA Podcast, Ep. 10: Peter Conheim (Mono Pause/Neung Phak, Negativland, etc.)

The multi-talented Peter Conheim is our guest on Episode 10 of the podcast. We cover a veritable potpourri of topics, including his memories of the early ’90s Oakland warehouse scene from which Mono Pause (and Conheim’s own Electro Motive label) was spawned; his film restoration work on such underground classics as Deaf Punk and In the Red (both included in the excellent Ears, Eyes and Throats collection); his thoughts on seeing, hearing, and eventually joining the Mutants; his reasons for leaving Negativland; and his recollections of early 2000s San Francisco in the wake of the dot-com boom and bust.
