During my recent conversation with Niko Stratis about her new book, The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman, she described her affection for Jason Lytle's band Grandaddy, and I mentioned I'd interviewed Jason before. Well, this got me looking for that talk and here it is! This phoner between Jason and I took place on Tuesday December 4, 2012 at 11 AM ET and was focused on his solo album Dept. of Disappearance, and we covered other things too, including whether or not Grandaddy might ever make music or play shows again. As it happens, Grandaddy will be on tour soon!To hear this entire conversation, subscribe to Kreative Kontrol on Patreon at the $6 tier or higher (a reminder that an annual subscription includes a discount compared to a monthly one).Related episodes/links:Ep. #974: Niko StratisEp. #924: Lance Bangs and Bob Nastanovich on ‘Pavements'Ep. #803: The Replacements' ‘Tim: Let it Bleed Edition' with Bob Mehr, Jason Jones & Ed StasiumEp. #717: No AgeEp. #704: Sam Prekop and John McEntireEp. #694: David CrossSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/kreative-kontrol.

Mehr, who penned the liner notes for this box, as well as the Yankee box, shares inside stories and his insight into the iconic album, including the creative chaos that shaped A Ghost is Born. This massive box set—available as either nine vinyl LPs and four CDs or nine CDs—features the original album, alternate takes, outtakes, and demos, along with the full 2004 Boston Wang Center concert and the band's experimental “Fundamentals” workshop sessions.

On this week's show, Dana and Stephen are joined by Supreme Friend of the Podcast (SFOP) Isaac Butler, author of The Method: How the Twentieth Century Learned to Act. The trio first explores The Wild Robot, DreamWork Animation's handcrafted, lovingly made film that's the surprise of the year. Lupita Nyong'o voices ROZ, an old-fashioned robot powered by supremely advanced A.I. who must learn about and adapt to her new wild surroundings. Then, they dissect Nobody Wants This, a new Netflix series starring Kristen Bell (who plays a sex podcaster) and Adam Brody as a hot rabbi. Although there are obvious charms, the show's “will they, won't they” rom-com beats can often feel, at best, gratingly familiar, and at worst, bizarre and unthoughtful, particularly in its portrayal of Jewish women. Finally, the Criterion Collection, is “a catalog so synonymous with cinematic achievement that it has come to function as a kind of film Hall of Fame,” writes Joshua Hunt for The New York Times. The panel dives into the wonderful world of ‘Closet Picks,' a viral video format in which celebrities and movie buffs head into the Criterion Collection stockroom and pluck high-quality DVDs and Blu-rays off its shelves while explaining their personal significance. Also mentioned in this episode: “The Wild Robot Has an Intelligence That's Anything But Artificial” by Dana Stevens for Slate. “‘Nobody Wants This' Pits Jewish Women Against ‘Shiksas.' Nobody Wins.” By Jessica Grose for The New York Times. In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel extols the joys of being on the ground. Inspired by Chris Black's column for GQ, “How I Learned to Love a Layover,” the trio discusses how they spend their time in airports. Email us at culturefest@slate.com. Endorsements: Dana: “Abbas Kiarostami's Childhood Films,” a collection of 17 films by the renowned Iranian filmmaker made about or for children.

The Bar None label, in conjunction with Fiasco Records, is excited to announce the upcoming release of Riches to Rags, a long-lost album by Minneapolis' Bleeding Hearts featuring Bob Stinson, a founding member of The Replacements, on lead guitar. Riches to Rags will be a Record Store Day 2022 exclusive, pressed on 12” blood-red vinyl with liner notes by journalist Bob Mehr who won a Grammy Award for his album notes to the Dead Man's Pop box set, an expanded re-issue he co-produced of the Replacements Don't Tell a Soul album; Mehr wrote Trouble Boys the definitive Replacements biography Trouble Boys; he describes Riches to Rags as “the final piece to the puzzle of Bob Stinson's musical career.” The album release will be preceded by the digital single, “Happy Yet,” on March 17. Bleeding Hearts was the brainchild of Stones-fixated singer / songwriter / guitarist Mike Leonard who started the group with drummer Bob Herbers and bassist Rob Robello. In search of a second guitarist and having no luck, Leonard approached Stinson at the Uptown Bar where both were regulars. They became roommates and, as Mehr's notes relate, “the two played together daily, roughhoused like little kids, rehearsed with the band five times a week, and listened to music the rest of the time.” Riches To Rags was the result of pure serendipity. Fiasco Records' Sunshine Dunham found a complimentary copy of Spin Magazine in a CMJ Music Marathon festival gift bag featuring a piece on Stinson's post-Replacements exploits, that mentioned his move from Static Taxi to Bleeding Hearts. She tracked the group down, offered to record them and they made Riches to Rags in Minneapolis in 1993, a tight well-crafted set of high energy rock tunes that owed a debt to the Replacements and showed once again what a stellar guitar player Bob Stinson was. The album's filled with upbeat, catchy Minneapolis rock, with hooks galore and Bob's ever present bright chords shining through. Unfortunately, the overabundance of creative energy and artistic visions led to heated clashes and then Bob was out of the band right as recording completed. Bleeding Hearts carried on for a while without Bob, but their momentum was gone. Mike disbanded the outfit and joined the popular Minneapolis outfit the Magnolias. Stinson would pass away two years later, and the Bleeding Hearts recordings were left unreleased. Finally, 30 years later, Bleeding Hearts will get their due, thanks to Fiasco Records preserving the session tapes for some three decades and Bar None taking the final steps to deliver this very special Record Store Day exclusive, April 23, 2022.

I met Ben Schafer in the process of working on Mark Lanegan's book with him. I have a lot of resistance to meeting publishing/ music industry/ entertainment industry folks because it always feels so ingenuine, like "I will pretend to be your friend until it no longer serves my business interests, at which point I'll pretend you never existed." From our first meeting, I recognized that Ben was, like me, just an earnest fan of Lanegan's work. We talked about how great Lanegan's voice and writing was, how excited we were for the book, sobriety, then finally just life in general. I guess what I'm trying to say is that, despite my best efforts to the contrary, Ben and I became friends very quickly and have stayed in close touch for the last couple of years. Yes, of course, we talked about the loss of Lanegan, but I tried to ask him some hard questions about publishing and his role as editor. Ben specializes in music, popular culture, biography, memoir, and popular science, with a particular soft spot for American counterculture. He has acquired several New York Times bestsellers, including Unrequited Infatuations by Stevie Van Zandt, The Portable Atheist edited by Christopher Hitchens, Trouble Boys by Bob Mehr, and I Am Brian Wilson by Brian Wilson. Based in Los Angeles, Ben published the definitive two-volume history of L.A. punk Under the Big Black Sun and More Fun in the New World by John Doe (of X) and music publishing veteran Tom DeSavia. He is also the editor of the international bestseller Why Does E=mc2 by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw, and an all-time classic memoir, The Mayor of MacDougal Street by Dave Van Ronk with Elijah Wald, the inspiration for the Coen Brothers movie Inside Llewyn Davis. Prior to joining Hachette Books, Ben was Executive Editor at Da Capo Press for 17 years and held editorial positions at William Morrow and HarperCollins.
Bob Mehr returns to Bandsplain for an in-depth look at oft overlooked stalwarts of the 90s rock charts, Gin Blossoms. Looking at the history before a slew of hit singles brought the band into the realm of grocery store soundtrack ubiquity (Hey Jealousy, Found Out About You, Follow You Down), Bob leads us through their origins in Tempe, Arizona's fruitful scene of the late 80s and the tragic story of songwriter Doug Hopkins to the admirable longevity of some of their best-crafted rock songs.

The conversation digs back to his early days as a music fan, and how he eventually became a full-time music writer. Of course, we dig into how it was working with members of The Replacements, and how it took years to get that massive project rolling. Mehr, who is also the music critic for The Commercial Appeal [in Memphis] and a longtime correspondent for MOJO magazine, has produced a series of archival releases for the Replacements, including For Sale: Live at Maxwell’s 1986, the acclaimed box set Dead Man’s Pop and the recent deluxe reissue of Pleased to Meet Me. Mehr was nominated for a Grammy for his album notes to Dead Man’s Pop, and has written essays for releases by the Kinks, Warren Zevon, Big Star, the Dixie Chicks, Al Green and many others. A native of Los Angeles, he lives in Memphis, Tennessee. Stick around until the end of the interview to hear about that time Paul Westerberg mailed Mehr one of his teeth.

In celebration of the PLEASED TO MEET ME Deluxe Edition, we look back at the unique circumstances around how the record was created. Bob Mehr, author of Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements, offers a detailed perspective of this uncertain period when the Replacements entered Ardent Studios after splitting with guitarist Bob Stinson. Luther Dickinson, son of the late producer, Jim Dickinson, reflects on his father’s contribution to the album, as well as his own experience of joining the band in the studio as a teenager. Additionally, we’ll hear from Paul Westerberg himself, in a 1987 Warner Bros. interview with Julie Panebianco, where he shares his thoughts on the writing and recording of PLEASED TO MEET ME. From alcohol-fueled and trick-filled sessions in Memphis to the controversy of using horns and strings to the existential conflict of being an underground rock band in a major label world, the episode offers a unique look at this pivotal moment in the Replacements’ history.

Were The Replacements one of the last great bands, or a bunch of drunken f*ckups? Depends on who you ask. Or could they have been both? Author Bob Mehr reveals the primal factors and forces that shaped the Minneapolis band, their troubled early years, and their rise — and their often self-inflicted falls — within the early '80s American underground. Join us as Mehr delves into the personalities, the albums, the war stories from the road, and whether The Replacements belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
COMPACT DISC-USION: “It’s too late to podcast here we go” (1989) When most people talk about the Replacements, they tend to focus on “Let It Be” or “Tim” or the Keanu Reeves movie where he lives on a houseboat. But today, Bob and Tim are dissecting a less raved about album (and not just because of its 30th anniversary re-release). “Don’t Tell A Soul” introduced Tim to the most impactive band of his adolescence. But will this re-listen reveal it to be the least Replacements offering The Replacements ever offered?

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Patty Schemel, Drummer of Rock Band Hole. Patty Schemel became one of the first female drummers to make it big in the world of rock and was a sort-of second mother to Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain's daughter when she was little. She discusses this in Hit So Hard: A Memoir as well as discovering the allure of the drums; figuring out you're gay and determining who to tell and how to tell them; life as a homeless person in Los Angeles; and addiction and recovery, told in an unsparingly honest and heartbreakingly hopeful way (it took her 20+ tries to get clean). “Patty Schemel has lived a million lives and come out the other side. An amazing story, amazing book.”—Mark Lanegan, musician and author of I Am the Wolf “Often harrowing, frequently heartrending, and always insightful, Hit So Hard is far more than rock myth-making or a redemption story. In looking back unflinchingly at the literal highs and crushing lows of her life, Schemel's yielded a complex, compellingly readable memoir that possesses a truth and humanity few books of its kind ever truly capture.”—Bob Mehr, New York Times bestselling author of Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements
