Vinyl and Vision

I can't believe it's taken this long to get to an album by Nirvana, but here we are, finally. And I couldn't be more pleased to have my great guest, Brandon St. Pierre, of the band Anxious Wave, join me to discuss it as well as all the great things that band has to offer and has coming up. If you haven't heard Anxious Wave, we strongly suggest you listen to and buy some of their music here:https:/...

What an interesting conversation to have with a talented filmmaker and musician, Brandon Perras-Sanchez. Finally an opportunity to ask the question, "Does the influence of an album have the same effect on a film maker as a music maker?" And I was delightfully surprised by the answer Brandon gave. In addition, we touched upon many subjects including but no limited to Sonic Youth's Experimental Jet...

Again I'm dumbfounded as to how the fuck to shut up about this guy, Doug Cheatwood. He's a great friend and one of the most amazing musical minds I know. He has a massive body of work and produced 10 albums with their own full length videos in just the past 2 years alone. And has 5 more coming! This guy's the real deal and has chosen one of the most revered and challenging records of all time, Pin...

On today's episode, I speak with my good friend and talented actor and musician, David Air about an album that speaks to him, Paul Simon's Graceland. If you don't know anything about this record, boy are you in for a treat. David is a great friend and also a great actor. Having started his career in Los Angeles he has already racked up quite an extensive rooster of film and television appearances....

Doom and gloomy, haunting, shoe-gazey, or gothic folk are ways that Marissa Nadler's music may be described. Those may very well be true, but I think there's more to her talent than that. And based on our conversation, there is a metamorphosis coming. Like all great artists, evolutions are inevitable and are typically gateways into the next big chapter of an artist's career. Some may look back and...

Our guest today is just as much of a singular and influential artist as the featured album. Thalia Zedek has a lot to share at the moment. Her first solo release is getting the full treatment for it's 20th anniversary. Been Here and Gone is being reissued by Thrill Jockey Records on vinyl for the first time and in limited edition gold vinyl too! Get that here:https://thaliazedek.bandcamp.com/album...

Tonight I sit down with my good friend, David Tessier. An all around good guy and true bohemian. We discuss life as a full time musician, current and upcoming projects, and of course, Genesis' seminal masterpiece, Nursery Cryme. Outta sight. Enjoy! Don't forget to subscribe, like, comment and share! Here's where you can order your one-of-a-kind 7" vinyl:https://leestavall.com/products/davidtessier...

Fantastic guest for a fantastic album. Marc Calhoun is currently the singer of the newish band, Department of Teleportation, which is a Providence noise rock band. A great new edition to the ever thriving hard rock noise scene in the littlest state. They currently have a 6 song cassette demo available now through Bandcamp here https://departmentofteleportation.bandcamp.com/album/self-titled-epIt w...

As an inexperienced songwriter I’ve been told once, instrumentals can be boring. But that certainly doesn’t apply to the artistry of what these next two subjects are. Mac Blackout is, in my humble opinion, a master visual and sonic artist. His latest album, Love Profess, is the basis of my statement. It’s a completely instrumental emotional rollercoaster, filled with positivity and good will while...

Hooray! We've made it to 50! And no better guest to share this occasion with than Joyce Raskin! Badass musician, author, artist and podcaster with exceptional taste in music. Joyce has written a beautiful and heartfelt memoir of her life and, in particular, her experience in the 90's band, Scarce. If you don't know that story, do yourself the favor and purchase a copy for yourself here:https://www...

I can't honestly say I've ever had many words with Gavin prior to this interview, and it makes me feel like I've been missing out all this time. This conversation was full of laughs but with Gavin still being able to speak in a clear, methodical and introspective way. And to top that off, we discuss what could very well be the most important modern album for R&B, HipHop and NeoSoul. Killer. Fi...

It's my pleasure to bring to you today, my conversation with Paul Dechichio. He is a man known for many things from bands like Best Practices, Alpha Owl and Cyttorak. Paul has taken his love and experience with music and pivoted into the independent record label realm, which is now 20 years deep with no signs of stopping. In honor and observation of this monumental occasion, Paul has taken on his...

Hope everyone is having a great and Happy Thanksgiving! It's my pleasure to bring to you today, the founding members and backbone of New Haven's most enthralling and energetic band, Killer Kin! With the type of raw unbridled energy they bring, it's no wonder that they'd choose an album with the same infectious, hook laden, sexual fury as this debut album by the New York Dolls. And if you don't bel...

Damian Puerini joins me once again to explore the deceivingly dark and dismal social commentary of The Kinks' rock opera, Arthur(or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)! See how even the title sheds no glimmer of hope? It's a fantastic album with a very knowledgeable guest. We get after it. Join us. Check out a solo composition of Damian's on a fantastic charity album here: https://toothhur...

There are few musicians that keep busy, have ridiculous discographies, or command a stage. My guest today, Rafay Rashid, does them all. Super nice guy and great conversationalist to boot! We discuss influential music, making music in the desert, and why The Beatles may just be one of the most overrated bands in history! Dig in kids. Please find and buy Rodney Dangerous' new double album "Fantasies...

If you like Charming Disaster, you may like PJ Harvey. Or, if you like PJ Harvey, there's a good chance you'll also like our guests Ellia Bisker and Jeff Morris, the duo that make up Charming Disaster from Brooklyn, NY! Both bands write songs that are complex and intriguing, without beating you over the head with high art. It's enjoyable on it's surface, but the deeper you peel into that onion, yo...

Just when you might have thought Six Finger Satellite was dead, the budding noise rock inspirators of the 90's are coming up with some killer reissues and committing some never before heard jams to wax too! I got to speak with front man J Ryan about some of these plans as well as one of the most influential records on his life, Suicide's self titled 1977 debut. Dig it! Highlights available to watc...

What a great conversation with Alice Genese! Currently of, Ov Stars, which is debuting is their official release, Tuesdays, on April 23rd. Formerly of Psychic TV, Sexpod, and Gut Bank to name a few, Alice is a long standing writer and performer and just a wonderful person. This was a pretty in depth conversation spanning all the emotions throughout this record, touching on the new band and record,...

It is my great privilege to bring to you, Jay Berndt. Super talented multi instrumentalist, song writer, and producer. You may know him from his 90's metal band, Kilgore, or a slew of others such as The Revival Preachers, The Brimstone Assembly, or Bloodwitch to name a few. We go over some of the lengthy history and also fit in a discussion of an inspirational album to him, Black Flag's 1980 debut...

Muggs is a talented poet and singer, and the parallels between their career and the likes of Patti Smith are eerily similar. We discuss those points along with giving some of our own interpretations to these immortal classics. If you like Patti Smith's Horses, you may like Lookers. If you like Lookers, you may like Patti Smith's Horses. Give them both a try.https://lookers.bandcamp.com/releasesFin...

It's my pleasure to present you my conversation with the great and talented John Roman of microwaves. We discuss his artistic contributions to microwaves most recent release, Via Weightlessness,( which can be found here https://threeoneg.com/archive/vinyl/via-weightlessness ) plans(or lack thereof) for the new album, and of course Voivod's fourth studio album, Dimension Hatröss. Dig it kids! Learn...

If you don't think you know Thor Harris, there's a good chance he's played on one of your favorite albums. Take a look for yourself here: https://www.discogs.com/artist/343752-Thor-Harris?superFilter=Credits This conversation really covers much of what I hoped to learn about Thor from early exposure to music, first experiences performing live, current inspirations, working through depr...

This one's a little different. Today we're joined by Kelly Catlin, the author of the new biography, Kurt Cobain: Forever in Bloom. Different in that we usually have an artist choose an album that was influential to them and the art they make. And I do quite a bit of research and writing. But considering the topic of her book being one of my favorite artists of all time and someone I personally con...

This is a very candid interview with who I consider a friend. Micah has long been a troubadour and a road dog since the early 2000's fronting his band, Two Cow Garage. Since Two Cow's dissolution Micah has been releasing music on his own. Aided and supported by his equally inspiring partner, Vanessa Jean Speckman, the two have been hitting the road together just trying to earn an honest li...

First episodes of the new year are always exciting and this one is no exception! This is a very in depth conversation with an interesting artist who describes, in this episode, what kind of music and art he was exposed to basically since birth and how that must have colored his sonic palette to help him create some of the dark and foreboding textures he uses in his band, Haunted Horses. His band h...
