Hosted by Sam — two hours a week spent asking people what music has done to them.
with Garrett Howitson
Two hours on punk — both the sound and the posture, and whether it can survive being defined. Do artists give up punk once they sign a record deal? Garrett makes the case for anti-establishment as something more considered than contrarian, and along the way talked me out of an idea I'd been carrying about the word angsty. His dad stopped by the studio partway through, which turned the conversation somewhere neither of us planned.
Listen nowwith George Wright
Started the show playing some recently discovered favorites while I waited on my long-awaited guest — George Wright, a former roommate, current buddy, and avid Grateful Dead listener. We get into long car rides with the Dead, rap and when to listen to it, how bluegrass runs in his blood, and where our sentiments toward music come from.
A solo show, four days after Blevins put out their single "Bully." Three brothers I grew up with — Brandon, Kevynn and Dillon — writing, producing, recording, mixing and mastering everything themselves between San Marcos, Austin and New York. One hour on what they've made and what it's like to watch people you've known your whole life build something this epic.
with Marisol Vance
On why the take with the mistake in it is usually the one that lands, and what happens when a musician stops trying to sound clean.
