Judy's Jungle

On the 38th episode of Judy's Jungle we have Dan Novak join us in Portland Oregon to share 5 songs. We accompany each other at Ruse Brewing and go live as they hustle and bustle in the background, texture sounds. Dan takes us on a ride that we all can relate to, those dark wave songs that we would listen to by ourselves as we walked up to parties then immediately walked home, alone. The beauty...

On the 23rd episode of Judy's Jungle we go remote to San Jose California to visit Simon Fabela. Sammy and I have been friends for many many many years, dating back to our awkward high school years. Throughout the time we both have shared our love for music and continue to share new music, or rather records we have found in dusty record stores. Sam talks about his love of records that are released...

on the 21st episode of Judy's jungle Ryan Hildebrand joins us to share some songs and stories. Ryan is an old buddy who played with Honeywell, los cinco's, and Joy's little boy amongst others. This was our second attempt in recording the podcast as the first one was inaudible (my engineering skills are not very polished). Ryan takes us down a path that ranges from lo fi indie rock to some contempo...

on the 20th episode of Judy's Jungle Ben Clark sets some time aside to join us. Ben is a long time friend that we met going to punk shows in the early 90's. It was an undeniable friendship that has lasted since. We would always see him at every show with his camera in tow. Ben loved to talk about music, ask questions about music, and bottom line help out in any way necessary with music projects. T...

on the 18th episode of Judys Jungle David joins us all the way from New Jersey. I've know David for over ten years, I first met him when he visited his cousin Jances while Jances and i were living together in Los Feliz at the infamous "Moontower". David brings rad times with him as goes through his jams from Cass McCombs, Vashti Bunyan, Chicaqno Batman just to name a few. We were stoked to hang ou...

Feel your Feelings On the 17th episode of Judy’s Jungle, we join up with Nate Dalton all the way from Berkeley California.  Aaron Calvert joins in,  Aaron takes comfort in Oakland, not far from the home of the lumber yard veggie dog! As the music kicks in, we are immersed into time travel. How do you embrace these new sounds? the ones your friends share with you? that silent nod of the h...

For the 16th episode of Judy's Jungle (or rather sweet 16) we drive up to the mountains of Lake Elsinore to record a show in a cabin off of a dirt road with my sister Eliza Herring. Driving up a mountain to see her somehow made perfect sense to me. I can't remember the year that I met Eliza, one day she just showed up and that was that. Killer buddies ever since. Talking to Eliza into the early mo...

on the 14th episode of Judy's Jungle my best friend, a lover of life, and true believer in all good things, joins us to share some jams and some stories......KIM BREWER. Kim holds a special place in my heart, she has taught me so much in such a small amount of time and I will always ring her on the telephone for her advice. When I first came up with the concept of Judy's Jungle I was driving throu...

on the 13th episode we are joined by a long time brother of mine, Aaron Calvert. I met Aaron when I was sixteen  years old outside the music venue The Macando in LosAngeles before his then band Evergreen played a matinee show. Right off the bat I noticed a sincere sweetness to him and throughout the years nothing has changed. As time ticks on we have grown closer and closer and it is a privil...

 On the 12th episode of Judy's Jungle we went with a remote recording again, but this time we went international. Neil Debnam joins us from Tokyo, Japan. I met Neil for the first time in 1999 in London. We didn't know at the time how our love of music somehow intersected the two of us and we slowly and steadily became very close friends.  We would stay up up late into the night and into...

On the ninth episode of judy’s jungle, Ruth Kim hangs out. Ruth shares some jams during these scary times and bases her jams on America.  Ruth also reminds us that music helps us to think and move forward. There is much more laughter than talking (I had to edit so much laughter out) and that is what makes this episode even more special. Throughout the episode we disagree about all the things...

on the seventh episode of Judy's Jungle Lisa Blai joins us to share some music and talks about her notes. we were super happy to have Lisa joins us as she talks how music put kindness into the eyes of her grandparents, how there are no basements in southern California, and the album "Tattoo You" by The Rolling Stones is just a bunch of out takes from the 1970's. This was a super fun episode to rec...

On the third episode of Judy's Jungle Andrew Dalton joins me to share and talk about music. Andrew talks about how Johnny Cash was on the brink of performing to 5 people in a drunk tank, how A.P. Carter is a musical thief and explains the weird mystery of a scarcely attended willie Nelson concert. I hope you enjoy this one, it was super fun to sit down with Andrew and talk about a variety of thing...

  In the episode "silent Music" Joey Lehman Morris will join us to talk about and share his thoughts of how music inspires him even if music leads to silence.
