You’ve just returned from the future, bringing in the harvest. You know what we don’t know: What will we be feeding on from tomorrow onwards?

Marcus: Breakfast, hopefully.

This. I was a big PWEI fan in the day. Spoke to Clint once.

I would love to read an interview where the guys were present, and have had to shoot from the hip with their answers.

Sometimes I feel their answers are a little too considered.

Interviews with musicians used not be like that.

Perfect start to this, I laughed so hard.
Definitely the best interview with them that I've seen thus far. I love how they answer questions and I feel like they and I would really get along

Loved this interview.

For those interested in learning more about J H Kunstler, his excellent blog, Clusterfuck Nation (http://kunstler.com/blog/) posts every Monday and is full of ego-deflating, rose-colored glasses-shattering, cheek-slappingly sober comments about how our current trajectory as a society (especially us Americans) is doomed. And that a refocusing on a local economy, local food, local transportation, LOCAL LOCAL LOCAL is this only thing that can save us from your typical Mad Max scenario.

Gripping stuff, especially for your Mondays.

Why doesn't anybody ever ask them about their older material, and if they have plans to officially (re)release more of it at some point?

the question is pointless. they won't. they said 'nobody was ever supposed to hear those tapes' numerous times.

I'd personally disagree with that, i think it's a very relevant question and it's been one on the lips of fans of BoC for the intervening years between TCH and TH, i'm sure they are aware people want to know. However, i think they choose not to answer it (or stipulate in the conditions of interview not to be asked) - possibly because although we know they've been curating this material they're currently undecided on whether they release it. But that's just my take on it.

agree 100%, I personally think the glimpse we got of their unreleased stuff from their live shows was stunning. It's hard to imagine what they have locked away in the vaults.

I KNEW IT! I KNEW BoC WAS ON THOSE DOOMER AUTHORS FROM THE MOMENT I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE ALBUM.

Anyway, I used to read Clusterfuck Nation every Monday nearly religiously after I learned about Peak Oil and was spiraling into existential despair. I got a little burnt out on it mostly because he spends too much time (imo) making fun of southerners and tends to get a bit repetitive after awhile. However, I recommend the book The Long Emergency to pretty much everybody on here. It's a great read that greatly illuminates the problems in our current society.

Now the other dude they mentioned, Dmitry Orlov, has been writing books that are focused on superpower collapse. He spend much of the late 80s and early 90s visiting the Soviet Union at regular intervals and made a point to document and more or less diagnose the economic causes of the decline. Much of his work has gone into applying a similar analysis to the United States. Lately he's also been focusing alot on Anarchism in small communities (in a constructive sense, not the moral panic 'let's blame anarchists for everything awful that happens' sense). Also a big advocate of boat living.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were fans of Archdruid John Michael Greer, who's sort of in the same boat but more of a philosopher.

All have websites and excellent blogs and anybody interested in exploring the themes behind Tomorrow's Harvest should give them a go.

www.resilience.org is a great clearing house for articles related to the topic as well.
