## Resource

This week, Dr. Josh Bald of Primus Tracks joins me to step deep into the wonderfully warped world of Primus — a band that never really fit into a category because they spent their entire career bending , twistin g, and outright ignoring them. From the early slap-heavy chaos of Frizzle Fry to the conceptual storytelling of The Desaturating Seven , we’re building a 10-song playlist designed to trace the full arc of Primus: the funk-metal experimenters , the surreal storytellers , the prog-adjacent architects of groove , and the band that somehow made “weird” feel like a cohesive musical language . This isn’t a “greatest hits” exercise. It’s about mapping the different eras , textures , and philosophies that define the band — one track at a time. By the end, you don’t just hear Primus — you hear how consistent experimentation can become its own kind of identity . Love them , question them , or just try to keep up … there’s really nothing else that sounds like this run of records. 🎙️ LEARN MORE 🎵 Hear the Playlists / Browse the Catalog: ⁠ https://myweeklymixtape.com⁠ 💬 Join the Mixtaper Community (Patreon): ⁠ https://patreon.com/myweeklymixtape⁠ 🌐 Connect on Social: ⁠ https://myweeklymixtape.com/social-media⁠ 📧 Email the Show / Contact: ⁠ https://myweeklymixtape.com/contact⁠ 👕 Shop MWM Gear: https://myweeklymixtape-shop.fourthwall.com/
