James of industrial noise rockers Black Magnet zooms in from Oklahoma to talk their latest record Megamantra, partyin' with Chat Pile, their upcoming winter tour with Author & Punisher + King Yosef, and all things experimental. James handpicks the 90s medley, where we hear about his first time listening to the Butthole Surfers on the radio, the crossover of skate videos and alternative, and how electronic music is indeed very punk rock.
