Beaks! You may know Geoff from Portishead or Billy from playing with Robert Plant or Will from Moon Gangs, but did you know they have a band together called BEAK>? You probably did. It’s been almost ten years now. But did you know how fun they are? No? Well aren’t you lucky. They talk to Antonio about the fourth member of the band, being more goth, knowing who you are, what is a flub and platypuses.
Belongings! Marius Lauber, whomst you know as Roosevelt (not a president) talks to Antonio about accents, switching it up in dance music, not belonging, losing weight in Berlin, Michael Jackson, Sonic 3 and Trevor Phillips.
Koreas! Jambinai’s Eun-yong, Bo-mi and Choi are on the show! They talk to Antonio (in English) about eating in Porto, different musical notes in Korea, collaborations in K-Pop, and drawing inspiration from The Expanse.
Bolts! Of lightning, that is. The delightful Brian Chippendale of the utterly awesome Lightning Bolt talks to us about trains, first world problems, tuna sandwiches, friends, agriculture and improvisation. Okay, at least one thing makes some sense. This episode is heckin’ great.
Pineapples! Joe Seaward of Glass Animals is on the show. Antonio helps Joe out with beer and they talk about writing a successful record (well, not together), human beings and their struggles and – of course – fruit. Also, we wish him well.
Low calories! Ryan, Taylor and Matt talk Antonio about back hernias, soccer and beards, health food, murder, goths, mobile phones, wrestling with demons and downloading stuff all night. Take everything *very* literally on this one!
Graps! Rasslin’ with Ho99o9! The lovely Eaddy and theOGM talk to Antonio about wrestling. A lot. Also, how they toured with the Dillinger Escape Plan, getting away from the USA – and what they should be doing instead.
Smokes! Greg Gonzalez of Cigarettes After Sex talks to Antonio about crowds, being nocturnal, smoking (or not), other things after sex, raunchy band names, old songs, unusual guitars, thrilling things and music scenes.
Peixe-boi! Episódio em português com Boogarins no Made of Things! Dinho, Ynaiã, Benke e Rapha falam baboseira com a gente sobre o Red Hot Chili Peppers, tocar perto de rio, animal espiritual e o que fazer depois da morte.
Party (like it’s 2019)! Andy Shauf on the show! No murder vibes on this one, as Andy talks to Antonio about not sleeping, what goes on at the party, composing on the piano and Elliot Smith. Plus, we’re back.

Boom! The Black Angels are on Made of Things! Christian and Alex (and Stephanie) talk to Antonio in the midst of some background noise – which is fairly appropriate. They speak about playing extremely late, the importance of food, herding cats, half believing, Bob Dylan impressions, Lincoln quotes, The Beatles, doors opening doors and air conditioning. Remember, the longer you watch, the funnier it gets. Plus, get your pilates game on.

Jessy Lanza is on Made of Things! This is one of those which are mainly crazy talk. Joe Pesci, rotary phones, spirit animals, Sumol, random memories, saying hi to Amy, Mozart on tour, isolation and what means I love you? Nônô chimes in lot on this one. Watch it or we’ll whack ya! (by “it”, we mean the episode). Also, NEW WEBSITE!

Warning: a LOT on Wrestlemania before we get to Club Cheval.
Horsies! A club of them, that is. Club Cheval returned to Portugal in 2016. Panteros, Sam Tiba, Canblaster and Myd tell Antonio about types of discipline, where not to go, the difference between Dutch transe and Chopin… and video games: making music for them and which of them they play! Et pourquoi les mecs préfèrent les enquiquineuses? Sorry for the terrible audio quality at the end of the chat.

Chavises! The Veldt are back in 2017 with two EPs. And we got to speak to them last year at Reverence in Portugal before any of this happened! It’s a funny old world. A quick warning: it was really windy and unexpectedly noisy, so apologies to everyone.
Daniel, Danny, Marvin and Hayato speak to Antonio about serious issues like being a black artist, mental health in the black community and living in America. But also soap opera problems, hot dog music, time out to meet the fans, time out again to stand in front of the camera, The Shocking Fuzz of Your Electric Fur: The Drake Equation, the Cocteau Twins and Ennio Morricone.

Mums! The wonderful Alex Cameron and Roy Molloy offer us beer. And they talk to Antonio about the new album Forced Witness, celiac disease, trucker disco, who does what, horn bands from Sweden, being in love, if it’s really water, Internet screen names, the importance of mums and shutting down the lights.

Strangers! A place to bury them, that is. A Place to Bury Strangers are on Made of Things! Oliver, Dion and John talk to Antonio at Reverence last year about the weather, shows that aren’t quite booked, how Portugal is the foremost thing, which animals to protect (spoiler: most), tough shit, Serena Maneesh, destroying venues and the most intense bands ever.
At last! As the Dillinger Escape Plan reached their closure, we got Ben Weinman on the show! One of Antonio’s all time favorites, breaking up DEP was hardly reason to celebrate. So this gets more serious than usual, but we also talk onesies and Manowar and the concept of olive oil.

Bean… s! Sunflower Bean! Julia, Jacob and Nick are on this episode of Made of Things. “Human Ceremony” was Antonio’s number 1 pick for album of the year in 2016 so they speak about the record, apologizing about the weather, being fans of classics, the year 2013, which music to give to your children, how many shows they’ve played and being the coolest!

Chill! Our old friend Howe Gelb is on Made of Things for the first time. Howe takes Antonio down to his preferred energy level. They speak about “Future Standards”, but also food, DNA testing, North vs South, Glastonbury vs Primavera Sound, options in moving to Portugal, the core of existence with Leslie Feist and understanding Leonard Cohen.

WWE returned to Portugal earlier tonight! We love wrestling here at Made of Things, but the opportunity to speak to some superstars went up in smoke, so it was time to go with something a little different: so here is live commentary on a house show you’re never going to be able to watch! Exciting stuff happens and – noisy as it may be – it is fresh as fresh can be, on the road to Survivor Series!

Games! The lovely Captain Sensible of punk rock legends The Damned talks to Antonio at Reverence Valada about beer, wine, football, playing in Portugal for the first time, penis-shaped cakes, writing the theme to Sensible Soccer and the game itself (quite a lot, actually), Captain’s favorite games, the future with The Damned, being on The Young Ones, Machine Gun Etiquette, being gaseous on stage and – unrelated – flies.
Precious talent Sampha is on Made of Things! He talks with Antonio at Primavera Sound about playing the festival, the feeling you get from Blood On Me, conflict and colors, his favorite comedy, Kanye West (we had to) and Michael Jackson. And more stuff too, but come find out.
Lies! Absolute darlings Cate Le Bon and Tim Presley (friend of the show) are DRINKS and guests in one of the best episodes of Made of Things yet! They talk to Antonio about siblings, haircutting Cate, Tim’s super secret, playing Tremor, capes and dresses, terrible drinks, dogs and wales (the animal). Is the truth even real?
Querem conversas aleatórias acerca de nada em particular? Está aqui uma, mesmo debaixo do vosso nariz – snif snif. Moullinex e Xinobi acrescentam ao cânone de disparates connosco, numa espécie de antevisão do Super Bock Super Rock deste ano, em que celebram o décimo aniversário da Discotexas. Preparem-se! Era para ser só em podcast, mas decidimos passar para vídeo, porque isto é ouro (ou outro metal precioso que preferirem) – portanto passem pelo YouTube para ver o podcast, mas com bonecos.
Goats! White Reaper are a bunch of fun rock kids and they’re on this hilarious episode of Made of Things! They have a new album out, but this was recorded at last year’s Primavera Sound in Barcelona. Sam, Ryan, Nick and Tony speak to Antonio and guest co-host Vera about horror movies, tattoos, bowls, spoopy, Hello Kitty, Monster Mash, the Best Show, crying and White Reaper $20. Join the chaos!
Lush may be no more (again), but that’s not stopping us from posting the chat Antonio and guest co-host Vera had with Miki, Emma and Phil of the British shoegaze legends at last year’s Primavera Sound in Barcelona. It’s a very fun snapshot of this period when they got back together and we talk about Porto, women in music and Rachel Goswell’s gossip.
Jagwars! A fantastic time hanging out with Jono, Gabriel and Jack of Jagwar Ma! We get in touch with their roots, side projects, moving to Lisbon, changing song names – and posttraumatic stress disorder. On the podcast version, thoughts on Jinder Mahal.
LIVE FROM NEW YORK, IT’S uma referência que não funciona em português! O Made of Things teve a primeira edição ao vivo DE SEMPRE no Muvi Lisboa, o festival internacional de música no cinema. Falámos do vídeo que o realizador Bruno Ferreira não quer que se veja, do novelo que o editor Sérgio Pedro tem de deslindar e dos fundos das mesa da videógrafa Ana Viotti. Descubram ainda como é filmar bêbado em Barcelona e na não-Dinamarca!
Tortoises! We get the awesome John Herndon on this episode of Made of Things at Primavera Sound last year. John talks to Antonio about the feel of playing in Tortoise, being a fan of Dinosaur Jr, David Essex impressions, massaging grandmothers and Kiss movies. Also, we get weirdly interrupted on the podcast version and dad deals with fistula again.
Movies! Kick ass band Unsane join Antonio at Primavera Sound last year for a cool hang. Vincent, Chris and Dave teach Antonio about the most unwelcome cross between wrestling and women, but also talk about bumping into people around the world, the band’s gruesome album covers and other heavy stuff, the Evil Dead and lots of other gory suggestions. Also, at the end AND exclusively on the podcast version, Vinnie gives his insight on the bands that were around Unsane!
Snakes! Of the hot persuasion. We go back with the outstanding Drive Like Jehu and take look at the US elections (because they hadn’t happened yet) at Primavera Sound 2016 in Porto. John, Mike and Rick talk to Antonio about healthcare, but also getting back together and becoming young conductors. Also, check the video version on YouTube for some juicy live footage of an awesome show.
Flames! John Grant talks to Antonio about grim stuff: growing up in environments of little tolerance, dealing with pain, class systems in big countries and crazy people on the streets in America. Then, concepts of freedom, addiction and podcasts. And then fun stuff: remembering Madeline Kahn, speaking in Russian and doing an ad for Coca-Cola.
Ducks! Their tails, that is! Matt Mondanile joins Antonio to talk tails of ducks (the haircut), converting people to things, knowledge and virtue. And then some Disney talk and some hobbies talk. And then talk of banging your head and Italian prog talk. And some gear talk at the end if you’re into nerding out on guitars.
Champions! Julien and Max from the wonderful band Whitney were in Lisbon for Vodafone Mexefest and stole everyone’s hearts with their first ever duo only show. They also know their football (of the soccer variety) and speak to Antonio about attending some important matches. Also, Elton John. Also, Cristiano Ronaldo or Axl Rose? Also, Eddie Izzard came to Lisbon.
Fences! White ones, in particular. Tim Presley talks to Antonio about recording with Ty Segall and Cate Le Bon, ending up playing in The Fall, something in Tim’s bag, why isn’t he a rapper, guitars or whatever – and breaking them on someone’s back. Also, thoughts on Fun Haze (?) and, of course, fences.
Wolves! Of winter, if you know your Biffy Clyro. We go back with James and Ben to talk old school Biffy and more recent Biffy. Also, thoughts on Trump/Bane, the early records and sticking together. Before that, half an hour on the Royal Rumble. You’ve been warned! This episode is in association with Altamont and Fest Mag.
Bullies! Let’s not cheer for that. Antonio enters Bully into the How-long-can-you-take-a-subject competition by teasing Alicia, Stewart, Clayton and Reece about bullies. See what’s going on? Discussions about bullies, that’s what. Who’s your favorite bully? Chime in whenever you can. Take this episode with a grain of whatever you want – which can be salt.
Vampires! Blood (sweat), sweat (correct) and tears (actually sweat) as Jeremy and Matt endure extreme heat and a turbulent dressing room, then try to make up for it by talking to Antonio about submarines, playing with Caribou or not, green screens, Jessy Lanza, the Portuguese outside of Portugal and showing some serious air conditioner fixing skills. Later on, they reminisce about Count Floyd and SCTV – and Gentle Giant. A-ha!
Tragedies! We talk life with Patrick Stickles of Titus Andronicus at Primavera Sound on this episode of Made of Things. Lamentable tragedies and teenage angst and how to cope, but also smoking, Merge Records and giving away guitars.

Swedish lapphunds! Hvalentine’s Day here on Made of Things! Not really. Well, it is – we just made it a thing. Jenny Hval joins Antonio to talk shavers, dog breeds, accents, Turbonegro… and wig talk! Lots of chiming in from Nonô off camera too! Also, the Eurovision Song Contest.

Mudhoney bears! Mark and Steve (for a bit) of Mudhoney join Antonio for a really fun time. They talk about starting up, going to parties with young kids, the grunge scene or whatever, fuzz boxes, the Judgment Night soundtrack, and also come up with some new and riveting rock mythology.
