I really enjoyed this and I'm sad it's over. If you have a long drive/flight ahead and want to hear two smart, funny people take apart an insane music business story, pop this in your queue. https://t.co/OQ3zBqQcVX

Thinking, as I often do, about the time Yahoo News thought "Zooey Deschanel divorces Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard" meant she had left a man named Death Cab to pursue a relationship with the lead singer of the band Cutie https://t.co/rIA3b47KVe

Patrick Damphier Q Session

posted September 18, 2019 #

There's an in-studio sessions thing here in Nashville called "Q Sessions" put on Monkey Riot Recordings that features bands performing in a well known studio called County Q. Lots of cities have this sort of thing but no cities have the playlist of bands that are specific to Nashville. They have done a phenomenal job of inviting bands like Only, Tape Deck Mountain and Hari to play. These are local bands to Nashville so you are forgiven for not having heard of them but I highly suggest giving a deep dive here; lots of great music to unearth.

The latest session is from Patrick Damphier featuring the song "Money in the Meter," the closing track off his debut album Say I'm Pretty. He's got an all-star band with him and it turned out incredibly well.

there is a reason I started a podcast and it’s because this is literally me after 1 beer at events/on dates explaining why the band someone just said they didn’t like is important and they’re wrong https://t.co/fuYGrYcyM6

someone I know shared an instagram story where they described bad breath as smelling like a nursing home and I’m going to think about this for the rest of my life.

Chris Gaines: The Podcast: The Finale

posted September 16, 2019 #

When Ashley Spurgeon and I started Chris Gaines: The Podcast there was never any inclination that it would be a show that went on forever. Garth Brooks fictional character Chris Gaines really only existed in the cultural zeitgeist for a blip of time. While Brooks and his team may have been working on it for years, from the public's standpoint it really came and went in about 10 months time. It's that brevity that makes the whole thing so fascinating as it continues to persevere some twenty years later.
Including this episode, Ashley and I have talked on the topic of Chris Gaines for a little over six hours. Is there more to say? Yes, absolutely. Could we work to get some interviews and find out a bit more behind-the-scenes? Yes, maybe! That assumes anyone involved would want to talk about it (they don't). Will we return for a Season 2 that looks at some additional absurdities? Oh yea, we just might.

TLDR: Here's the finale of Chris Gaines: The Podcast. Seven episodes that cover damn near everything about the affair. I hope you enjoy it.
