Wow, a new episode of And Introducing - this one featuring legendary music producer and musician Gordon Raphael, whose musical ear, intuition, tech savvy and patience all played a huge role in helping craft the indelible sound of The Strokes' first two albums, Is This It and Room On Fire. His book The World Is Going To Love This: Up From The Basement With the Strokes delightfully details these recordings, plus his work with Regina Spektor on Soviet Kitsch, his time running live sound for the Libertines, and his experiences generally gallivanting around New York and Europe, making cool music all the way. The book is awesome and we had a great time talking about it!
