#126 PHIL COLLINS pt. 2!

Aug 18 2024 83 mins

It's part 2 of our excavation of Phil Collins' memoir Not Dead Yet: The Memoir. We've reached the mid-1980s and the boy is absolutely everywhere...can he sustain the breakneck pace of being one of the most celebrated (and oversaturated) Brits in pop music history? We cover his stressful transcontinental Live Aid experience, his Disneyfied '90s, his vibrant but turbulent romantic li

#125 PHIL COLLINS pt.1!

Jul 31 2024 92 mins

I can feel it coming ON the air tonight...a podcast about Phil Collins. Well, the first part of a podcast about Phil Collins. We're talking about his child actor youth, his mod adolescence, his rock 'n' roll grindset that got him a slot in Genesis, his scoot from the drumset to the front of the stage after Peter Gabriel's departure, and the hella divorced energy beginnings of his e

#122 BAD TUNER!

Apr 24 2024 53 mins

Another 'And Introducing, Also Interviewing' up on deck. This time we're talking to bad tuner, an electronic musician in Brooklyn—he just put out an EP called look at me but through me, whose single "24 hours" f*cked our sh*t up but utterly when it arrived on our ears' doorstep. We had a great chat with bad tuner about the current club culture in NYC, how to find the samples no o

#121 A BEACON SCHOOL!

And Introducing, back again, and featuring an interview with an artist that we think you just might love...A Beacon School! A Beacon School is Patrick J.

#120 95 BULLS!

Mar 18 2024 52 mins

And Introducing is back and we're talking to another musician we like today. Actually two musicians! Emily Ash and Kayla Asbell play in the truly excellent NYC rock and roll band 95 Bulls—Emily on vocals, Kayla on keys—and we caught them in the middle of writing their next album, which will follow 2022's face-ripper Go Home. We talked about the power of Benihana, cranky sound g

We're going back, Jack, and we're doing it again with another angle on the Steely Dan story. Last time we were listening to Donald Fagen complain about hotel pools with Matthew Perpetua; this time we're talking about the freaky characters of Steely Dan's lyrical universe with writer Alex Pappademas and artist Joan LeMay, who together created the book 'Quantum Criminals: Ramblers, W

#117 BONO! pt. 2

May 26 2023 85 mins

Bono part deux — for a relaxing time, make it governance time. We hit the second half or so of Bono's book Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story and get into his advocacy, his lobbying, his product-launch mindset, his south of France hedonism, his relationship with God and his overall reflective vibes.
