A new compilation called Mesmerized In Madison celebrates the strange and abrasive side of Madison music, gathering tracks from local acts including thrash-lords Panther, electronic wanderer Samantha Glass, and country misanthropes Those Poor Bastards. Curator Jason Hartman (whose band Vanishing Kids also shows up on the comp) talked with us about what inspired him to put it together. Segment produced by Dylan Brogan for WORT-FM.
