The Alex Winter Interview - San Dimas Today

posted November 25, 2020 #

I help produce the Bill and Ted podcast San Dimas Today. For the first two seasons, my role was largely technical - helping them get episodes out into the world, making artwork, helping promote. They booked the guests and drove the topics.

With Season 3 - the first to be released in a world where a third Bill & Ted movie exists - they still drive the narrative but I stepped up my role with trying to book guests. I helped book Jonathan Leahy, the music producer on the third film, I managed to snag a long chat with William Sadler - the actor that plays Death - and I'm happy to report that, today, we launched an episode with Alex Winter.
It's a short conversation as Mr. Winter's time is hard to come by but they were able to talk about the history of the Bill & Ted films, the decade long development process of Face the Music and his upcoming Zappa documentary. It's a nice conversation.

Is it a humblebrag to be simply proud of something you helped do? Maybe. Either way, I am proud that I was able to land these interviews and help shepherd conversations around a topic that everyone involved is very passionate about.

There's still a bit more on the way. I hope you enjoy it.

Once upon a time, while perusing the crevices of a crusty New York mom-n'-pop video store, legendary VHS collector Matt Desiderio stumbled upon an extraordinary treasure – a human-sized anthropomorphic home video mascot, known forevermore as Tape Man. https://t.co/rcR6nt7KpB

This undead Benghazi t-shirt catalogue model nailing the dismount so impeccably on something that en masse is so hallucinatory, cringeworthy, infuriating and comically sublime, has to be commended. Additionally, kudos on recouping those Trump campaign donations so quickly, Mark. https://t.co/OOhGydM4WG

Tower Defense - In The City

posted November 19, 2020 #

Last week, yk records released the debut from Spencer Cullum's Coin Collection and this week I'm happy to announce the release of the second full-length LP from Tower Defense, In The City. Vibe wise the two records could not be more different but I'm hopeful that's a good thing.
The band makes absolutely bombastic rock n' roll with their double bass configuration but it's absolutely laden with harmonies and, on the second record especially, there's a ton of fun injected into the songs. I'm biased but it's absolutely delightful.

You can grab the digital or limited edition purple LP on Bandcamp, stream it on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music or wherever else. It's 23 minutes of good time.

Rodney O

posted November 16, 2020 #

Today, The Mute Group released the video for "Rodney O." That fact by itself may not mean much but it's the final video in promotion of their debut album, Sinister Hand. As far back as 2016, they've been crafting videos to help promote their music and "Rodney O" serves as a pinnacle of accomplishment from those four years.

I know I'm biased in my enjoyment of a band that I'm actively helping release music but that bias doesn't overshadow the fact that I'm completely blown away by the video. It instantly reminds me of Aldous Harding, tho the band had no prior knowledge of her work before embarking on this video. I can see comparisons to REM as well but that feels too lofty for folks to take seriously, even if it's apt.

It's a stunning piece of work. It's mysterious, immersive and captivating. It tells a story without really laying it all out for you. Flat out, I'd call it Art. Hard stop. Again, that's lofty but I stand by it.

I hope you'll watch the whole thing, fullscreen.
