Hosted by Sam — two hours a week spent asking people what music has done to them.
Dolly Parton passed away this week. Beyond saying so, this one is mostly music — a random set, not much talking.
Listen nowwith Nick Hegyesi
Nick's back for a second go. He's a buddy of mine, an entrepreneur, and the kind of outdoorsman who owns the right gear for all of it — hog in the garage, twin tips in the truck, hair that gets its own glacier clay. Two hours mostly on house, and on flow state: the thing he's chasing down a run, inside a build, and halfway through making something. How Nick started his company "Capture" through the need to brain dump.
with Amie
Amie spent ten years working restaurants in New Orleans and the music from this city gets into you whether you were born there or not. We get into jazz funerals or "Second Line Parade", where people take tragedy and turn it into a party to process grief. Then discount bins and what's buried in them, marrying a drummer, and the excitement of music with your kid (wiggling to JJ Cale). Music is all just taste, so keep an open mind!
with Garrett Howitson
Two hours on punk — both the sound and the posture, and whether it can survive being defined. Do artists give up punk once they sign a record deal? Garrett makes the case for anti-establishment as something more considered than contrarian, and along the way talked me out of an idea I'd been carrying about the word angsty. His dad stopped by the studio partway through, which turned the conversation somewhere neither of us planned.
with George Wright
Started the show playing some recently discovered favorites while I waited on my long-awaited guest — George Wright, a former roommate, current buddy, and avid Grateful Dead listener. We get into long car rides with the Dead, rap and when to listen to it, how bluegrass runs in his blood, and where our sentiments toward music come from.
