"Then He Kissed Me" by The Crystals is a somewhat underrated pop product of the early 1960s, so it's time to shine the spotlight on this brick in the Wall of Sound, featuring the powerful vocals of La La Brooks, the production of Phil Spector, the arrangement of Jack Nitzsche, and the Brill Building words of Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich (1:07). What a cast!! We then take a detour to see how the song's opening guitar riff inspired Lou Reed and John Cale's pre-Velvets band, The Primitives, on their infamous 1964 sorta-dance tune, "The Ostrich" (1:05:37). In '66, the Heflick brothers of Elkhart, Indiana used the riff to generate a gentle garage number entitled "Everybody Needs A Love", under the ginchy moniker of The Gremlins (1:29:21). In '77, Kiss brought the song back to New York, added some FUZZ, and gender-flipped it to "Then She Kissed Me" (1:53:59). Imagine meeting Mom & Dad in Kabuki makeup! The New York connection continues with Asobi Seksu's shoegaze version from 2007 - they draw out another side of the song's dreaminess (2:10:39). !!

In this episode the label begins seeing the effects of the internet firsthand, in a time when a favorable review could lift a relatively unknown band out of obscurity literally overnight. We look back on this era with Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin's Phil Dickey, as well as Japandroids drummer David Prowse, who reflects on signing to the label, the band's relentless touring schedule, and their critically acclaimed sophomore album Celebration Rock, one of the label's most successful releases. The label also releases music from notable new signings Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu, and STRFKR. Featuring interviews with Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin's Phil Dickey, Asobi Seksu's Yuki Chikudate, Deerhoof's Greg Saunier, Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart, STRFKR, and Japandroids' David Prowse.

Alejandra O'Leary was born to a Colombian mother and Irish father in Portland, Maine. Having a different sounding name and being a woman of color both challenged and shaped her as she grew up listening to crashing ocean waves and Beatles records. Specifically, growing up in Portland instilled feelings of being both a native and an outsider. “I've always been at home with messiness, big emotions and uncertainty,” Alejandra reflects. “I guess that's why I like rock n roll.” After moving to Santiago, Chile at age seventeen, Alejandra became infatuated with the idea of creating rock music and followed her muse across the world for a decade, releasing four albums of original songs, sharing the stage with Guster and Asobi Seksu, and drawing positive nods from outlets like No Depression, PopMatters and Magnet. The sound Alejandra cultivated during this time was an expansive mix of raw rock theatrics, spiky indie bangers, anthemic Top 40 pop melodies, and soulful retro flourishes. In 2016, Alejandra returned home with her newborn baby to Portland with the intention to record a new album. Never one to follow cookie cutter formulas, she rounded up a group of hand-picked local musicians and sent them demos of her new songs. No other instructions were given, and when they all showed up in the studio, it was made clear that they were going to improvise the song's final arrangements. Alejandra refers to the band as a pop-up project, asserting “This improvisatory spirit keeps things fresh and thrilling. I find it to be the most enchanting way to create music.” The resulting recordings have a live-wire feeling to them which reflects their on-the-spot creation. From the twangy 90's Americana of “Undone” to the shoegazey twilight-rock of “Wires,” O'Leary's new Maine music, specifically her fifth and sixth studio albums, EVEREST and SUNLIGHT, are packed with a variety of distinctive ‘retronuevo' sensibilities, all indicative of their creator's sparkling and soulful spirit.

_ Snacky Tunes _ is coming at you from a parking lot in LA this week as host Darin Bresnitz is on the scene with Chefs Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo of Animal, Son of a Gun, Jon and Vinny’s, Trois Mec, Petit Trois, Trois Familia, & Helen’s.  Jon and Vinny met in culinary school 15 years ago, where they share they first thought about opening a restaurant together. Chatting about opening animal, a wildly successful restaurant in Los Angeles, their next restaurant, Son of a Gun, a seafood-focused spot that is an homage to the fish shacks they grew up with in Florida, the duo have also partnered with Chef Ludo Lefebvre for delicious destinations. In the second half of the show, Greg welcomes Todd Goldstein AKA Arms to the studio talking his long history with Snacky Tunes and what he’s been up to since 2009! Todd has been writing and recording music under the name ARMS since 2004, which is a pretty long time if you think about it. His songs are sinewy and guitar-forward, with a wild energy and an sad core. His lyrics are sly, aching sketches written in language both more oblique and more direct than normal speech. There have been two ARMS full-length albums—the noisy, melancholic Kids Aflame (2008) and its fancied-up widescreen sequel Summer Skills (2011)—a handful of singles and EPs, a covers album, and 2013’s rollicking EP2. The 3rd and latest ARMS album—a collection of songs recorded with longtime drummer Tlacael Esparza, called Patterns—will be released in the spring of 2016. Notably, ARMS has shared the stage with Passion Pit, Walkmen, Beach House, White Rabbits, The Long Winters, A Place to Bury Strangers, Japandroids, Hospitality, Caveman, Asobi Seksu, and more. Stay tuned for his acoustic set! “Yes, local is great and it’s awesome and we love it but let’s just try to make the most delicious food… we don’t beat people over the head with it.” [9:00] –Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo on Snacky Tunes
