Prompted Spontaneity Podcast

What do you get when you cross The Cure, The Smiths, and R.E.M. together? The answer lies within this episode!  Instead of having a guest for this weeks episode, I thought it would be fun to dust off some old recordings of mine and let you guys hear them.  This episode features one of the first bands that I was in called Bury Magnets. Bury Magnets consisted of Matt Haas on guitar and vocals, Adam Riazi on bass, and myself behind the drum-kit.  These recordings are from 1997 and 1998. 

Join Wes and I as we shoot the breeze about playing in bands, taking music lessons, bartending, and whatever else popped into our heads that night!

Matt Haas stops by for this episode and we talk about all of the bands that we've played together in over the years.  He also drops a 16 minute long song on us!  What the what!?  That's right!  Get ready for ADVENTURE!!!!

We're back!! Well...., I'm back with Jon Finley!  Jon will give us a short glimpse into his methods for writing lyrics, interacting with bands at shows, and how not to sound like a curmudgeon when analyzing Slipknot songs!  Ahhhh, it's great to be back!

Jamie Stillman of Earthquaker Devices joins me this week and we get down to buisness... pedal buisness, that is!  Tune in and find out how long your buisness will last once you start using LCD menu screens and tag lines.  We also put together a pretty rippin' song just for you!

Episode 7 featuring Jason Tarulli!  When Jason is not running front of house sound for The Black Keys, he's usually busy buzzing around town and reccording bands.  He stopped over to my house for an afternoon sesh (hence, some traffic noise during the interview), and spilled his sound guy guts to me (and you)!

This weeks discussion is all about what Keith has been up to and how to properly pronounce the title of his latest release.  We also take a stab at indeterminate music.  Here is a link that Keith forgot while we were gabbing : http://avantgardeproject.conus.info/mirror/archive.htm Hope you enjoy!!!!!

Ryan gives us a a glimpse into the beginnings of Party Of Helicopters and Beaten Awake.  We also talk "java".  Script?  No, silly.  Coffee!

Join us this week as Joe Golden and I discuss playing music for free, and what to do when the Prince tribute band you are trying out for asks you to play the bassline from "When Doves Cry".

In this episode, we talk to Ted about his method for writing lyrics!  Oh yeah, we mention Warren Zevon, too.

Here we are again!  This time I talk with Jeff France about nerdy things like gear, effect pedals, and musical methods that could be considered overthought!

In this pilot episode, I wax with Gabe Schray about some things that happen in music, and some that shouldn't.  Also, we perform our version of John Carpenter's theme from "Escape From New York".
