"Darth Sidious" is an obvious metal band name. Go with "The Palpa Teens" instead.

Don’t Fear The Reaper: An Interview With William Sadler

posted November 11, 2020 #

I've been working with the Bill & Ted podcast San Dimas Today for awhile now and with the release of the third, and final, Bill and Ted film - it felt like the show may be coming to a natural resolution. However, I really wanted to the hosts to get some interviews with a few of the folks involved with the third film to really send them off on a good note.
With that in mind, I'm happy to announce that the latest episode is an interview with William Sadler; Death himself. His appearance in both Bogus Journey and Face the Music are delightful but it's important to remember that this is a guy who has also been in Shawshank Redemption, Die Hard 2 and a long long list of additional films.

Give it a listen as he's got a great story to tell. He's often cast as the bad guy but, honestly, he was a complete sweetheart.

Spencer Cullum's Coin Collection Live At Grimey's

posted November 11, 2020 #

The debut album from Spencer Cullum's Coin Collection comes out tomorrow (yes, a Thursday.. I did that on purpose) and we've released this fantastic five song performance Live from Grimey's.

There are a ton of guest players backing Spencer - including Caitlin Rose, Erin Rae, Annie Williams, Sean Thompson and a long list of others that may be meaningless to you if you're not aware of the Nashville music scene but these folks are good. Real good.

There's a wonderful review of the album up on the Nashville Scene as well. All and all, a great week for Spencer Cullum press. I hope you'll check out the album, which you can pre-save here.

Oh, and that Grimey's performance includes a song called "Dieterich Buxtehude" - which is a long form, krautrock inspired, jam. If you're hesitant about how a psych-folk record can be psych and folk, that's an excellent place to start.

Let's Face the Music, My Favorite Things

posted November 10, 2020 #

I started working with a new podcast called Let's Face the Music. The tagline for the series is "the stories behind the standards of the Great American Songbook." In short, it's a Behind the Music for classic songs.

There's only two episodes out at this time but I'm really enjoying it. I have zero involvement in the content of the show - Ryan Breegle tackles all of that. So, each new episode as insightful and surprising for me as it may be for you.
It's available on all the podcast places - Apple, Spotify, Google, Overcast, etc. etc.

The latest episode is all about "My Favorite Things" - a song that I generally associate with The Sound of Music and John Coltrane; though not in any sort of way where the two are connected. In my mind, they're disconnected performances of the same piece of music. However, as the episode lays out, that is not true. There is, of course, connective tissue between them.

Definitely a good listen and not very long! This sort of thing could be exhaustively long but Ryan keeps it quick and engaging. Win win.

No host likes shooting promos, especially for a phone version of their hit game show, but Trebek did them with good humor. So long, Alex, and fuck 'em. https://t.co/7Z1hh1vl2w

Honesty. People who coined the words “snowflake” and “libtard” and mocked safe spaces are now supposed to receive our warmth and affection? Get a grip.
