In this Album Dive episode, I'm joined by Chris Ballew of The Presidents of The United States of America to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the band's self-titled debut album. We take a deep dive into the history, impact, and unforgettable tracks that made this record a defining moment in ‘90s alternative rock. Tune in as we explore: - Chris Ballew's time performing with Beck's live band - The origins and quirky design of the “basitar” and “guitbass” - How the band became the “alternative to the alternative” - The stories behind hit songs like “Lump”, “Kitty”, “Feather Pluckin'”, and “Peaches” - The tale behind Weird Al Yankovic's “Gump” parody - Why Wayne Kramer of MC5 initially denied their “Kick Out the Jams” cover - Their cover of The Buggles' “Video Killed the Radio Star” - The nu-metal side project Subset with Sir Mix-A-Lot - Chris' solo projects including Casper Babypants and his biannual solo album releases From behind-the-scenes stories to musical innovation, this episode is a must-listen for fans of ‘90s alt-rock, deep cuts, and (of course!) The Presidents. Be sure to visit MyWeeklyMixtape.com to hear all of the songs we discussed in this episode!  Theme music is "Unveiled" by The 4th.

Today’s episode is going to rock your world … pun fully intended because today’s guest is an actual rock star. You may remember a band called Presidents of the United States of America. They took the world by storm in 1995 with their self titled album, Presidents of the United States of America playing songs like Lump and Peaches. Yes, that’s right. My guest today is frontman Chris Ballew. Chris and I have been friends for years, including collaborating on a music video together and at least one live performance (gotta listen to find out ;). Of course we get into his musical journey, a meteoric rise to success, and then realizing something was missing. We take some deep dives into Chris’ creative process, including his method for capturing his small bits and later using those to write new works, including his new project Casper Babypants.   In this episode: Consider what kind of artist you are and how you relate to other artists. For years Chris played in bands, but what he learned about himself is his work is actually solo. Don’t censor yourself while you’re creating. Get it out, no matter how crazy or ridiculous or unusual and then look back later. For years Chris didn’t allow himself to write on certain topics because it seemed silly. It wasn’t until he realized that was a false limitation that it help unlock a new level for him. How staying curious with a childlike imagination will give you fresh perspectives. Enjoy!

In 1979, former Mott The Hoople frontman, Ian Hunter, released the critically acclaimed LP, You’re Never Alone with a Schizophrenic. One of the peppiest and snappiest tracks on the record was an ode to the current home of the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland, and legendary rock n’ roll Hall of Famer and DJ, Alan Freed. Cleveland Rocks eventually became the theme song for the very popular sitcom, The Drew Carey Show. The version that appeared at the beginning of the show was performed by Seattle’s own Presidents of The United States of America, fronted by Chris Ballew. In 2008, Drew Carey became part owner of the Seattle’s Sounders Football Club, and regularly travels to Seattle for matches. This makes a very unique Seattle music trifecta indeed. This week’s episode features two-thirds of this unique trio, connected through the power of music and soccer, starting with Ian Hunter. Ian was recently in town to play Bumbershot 2012. He, along with his Rant Band, put on a brilliant twilight performance under the Space Needle. (See Photo Slideshow below.) He talks about everything from working with David Bowie, his love of American Rock n Roll and historical pop icons, as well as a special benefit show he’s working on in Cleveland. Check out the classic Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter tracks, as well as his new single, When I’m President. (Hmm… perhaps another indirect tie in to Chris or probably just pure irony!) Next, there’s Chris Ballew. I caught up with him this past summer at Northwest LoveFest, where he was performing as Casper Babypants. Some would say that his newest project has surpassed the popularity of The Presidents. (At least his target audience of toddlers and young children think so.) Chris and I talked about the distinctions of performing with POTUSA vs. Casper Babypants – and he hear some classic POTUSA tracks.

This week we feature Casper Babypants and the Here I Am! album. To hear more, or purchase the album, click here http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/casparbabypants For the best in indie music, check out http://cdbaby.com
