With the coronavirus keeping us all sheltered at home, we decide to just do a LIVE podcast and just talk about whatever everybody wants to talk about. Zaniness ensues.

Work in the studio is going really well and it’s giving us a chance to feature all these killer Garden Sessions. This week’s artist come from the far-locales of Vancouver, BC and Denton, TX. Dig the exotica!

I’m busy in the recording studio this week so we continue featuring October’s Garden Sessions. This week it’s two more great bands Wild Pink and The Harmaleighs. Dig this!

We had an incredible Underwater Sunshine Festival in October and the Garden Sessions were amazing. This week’s podcast features performances and interviews with two of our faves: Kid Sistr and Matt Sucich. Dig it!

Welp. As the nation celebrates Part 2 of our 1999 podcast, I personally celebrate Day 2 of food poisoning. Although I’m less excited about one than the other, I recognize the humanity inherent in both. To paraphrase Edward R Murrow...good night and good bleccchhhh

We celebrate being slightly late celebrating the 20th Anniversary of 1999, a record which actually came out 38 years ago. This was an incredibly fertile period in the Purple One’s career and we bellyflop into it, splashing music over two separate podcasts.

After the critical acclaim of Dirty Mind(1980), Prince’s first real encounter with mainstream mass culture ends disastrously on the Rolling Stones Tour. In the wake of those experiences, he goes back to the studio and crafts the kind of response only he could make...Controversy (1981). We take a look. Dig it!

Is there any doubt in your mind what these next few podcasts are all about? We start at the beginning and take a deep dive into maybe the best there ever was. This motherfucker was simply VIOLACEOUS! Prince Rogers Nelson.

We get into our first Garden Sessions of the year, checking out October’s performances with Maria Taylor, The Accidentals, and Sarah Jaffe. It’s all kinda awesome. Oh yeah...and soup. We talk about soup.

It’s Winter and we’ve been staying indoors so we talk about the movies and music we love lately and why Star Wars is endlessly frustrating.

Part Two of our trip through the wonderful, tragic, and triumphant life of Daniel Johnston. Check it out!

In the wake of some hard times, we examine the wonderful, tragic, and triumphant life of Daniel Johnston.

We return with a Garden Session from the Spring featuring sets and interviews with the great Jesse Malin and Red Wanting Blue, who, as it turns out, are not from Canada, have never been from Canada, but have actually visited Canada and thought it was lovely. We agree completely. Dig it. PS. Sorry about the infrequent podcasts as of late. The holidays and various family difficulties for both myself and James have cut into our ability to record. We’ll be back on track soon!

James & I convene onstage Saturday night at the Underwater Sunshine Festival to host a live podcast, answer your questions, pat ourselves on the back with microphones, and generally self-congratulate in front of an audience. Zaniness ensues. We love you all.

The boys take another trip through the bands playing the Underwater Sunshine Festival, including a brand new Jordan Klassen tune and the very special reveal of a new Maria Taylor song called “Waiting In Line” featuring me, Adam, singing with her! Check ‘em all out!

The Underwater Sunshine Festival is coming Nov 8-9 and we’re so excited to spend the next few weeks previewing the incredible artists who’ll be playing. C’mon! Check em’ out with us!

Back for more checkered flags and a few bumps in the road. We talk about the later years as The Cars make a massive comeback, call it quits, and then get back together to make some really good music one last time. It’s a really sad but appreciative farewell to Ben Orr and Ric Ocasek. Seriously. Let The Good Times Roll.

With apologies/acknowledgement to Paula Vogel’s brilliant play (which returns to NYC this coming Spring w/its original cast of Mary-Louise Parker & David Morse), we examine an entirely different life in Cars and say goodbye to one of our heroes.

The boyz explore the work of Matthew Koma’s Winnetka Bowling League along with the new releases from a few other pals. It’s a good time. Trust me.
