Purple Reign Pt. 1

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.
