Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Kevin BoweKevin Bowe is a writer/producer/mixer/musician from Minneapolis. He has written songs on 3 platinum records and 2 Grammy winning albums working with Johnny Lang, The Replacements, Etta James, Joe Cocker, Paul Westerberg, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, 3 Dog Night, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Little Steven Van Zandt, Communist Daughter and many other artists. His songs have been performed by Lucinda Williams and Bruce Springsteen.

In 2010, Johnny Solomon's band, Communist Daughter, was on the rise. But behind the scenes, Johnny was struggling—he was drinking heavily, and abusing meth to the tune of $600 a week. "People see it from the outside, but it's impossible to explain from the inside of what it does to your soul," he told me about his addiction. "I did really terrible things to the people I loved." When Johnny realized it was time to get help, he called one of the people he loved most—his mom, Nancy. She paid for him to go to rehab, which helped him get clean and gave him a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.  After Johnny got sober and went on medication, his band regrouped and continued touring and putting out albums. But then, a few years later, it was Nancy who needed help, as her health declined due to a degenerative nerve disease. So Johnny and his wife—and bandmate—Molly packed up their life in Minnesota and moved in with Nancy and her husband in San Diego. It's a very different life from the one they were imagining at this point in their marriage, when they were hoping to start a family. And caring for Nancy has meant that their music careers have been put mostly on hold. But Johnny says there are aspects of the change that feel healthy, especially given the difficulties he experienced trying to stay sober in a touring musician's lifestyle. "I love routine," he told me. "I love it, because when things get out of control then I start to really lose control." I went to their shared home to talk with Johnny, Molly and Nancy about what their life together looks like now—and what's been hard about building it. This episode first aired in 2018. Johnny and Molly Solomon in the backyard of the house they share with Johnny's mom Nancy and her husband.

A modern day General Shiro is on a crusade to save the world by killing those that would seek to squash the very thing keeping humans on the earth. BUGS! Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon. Case Profile for #116 General Shiro In history, General Shiro was a war criminal who used weaponized bugs to wipe out his enemies. Turns out this week's Blacklister is looking to repeat history. But much like Red, this Blacklister is only killing specific targets who are tied to a pesticide known as Hexapine. It was designed to kill off viral carying insects after a natural disaster but was deemed harmful for the environment. Turns out the creator of Hexapine is in fact our modern day General Shiro and as an entomologist his platform is to save the bugs. Without bugs the human race would cease to exist, so he blocks the legalization of Hexapine by kiliing those that would make it legal by infecting them with beattle larvae which then eat the victim from the inside out. Meanwhile Red works his magic to pick a jury of his peers, which not sure how that works when his peers are criminals and you can't serve on a jury as a convicted felon. Regardless he seeks to stack the deck with the help of his neighborhood DMV friend Glen to find jurors in the records that would support his case. In the end Dembe and Liz have a conversation about Liz's mother that will have the internet "buzzing" for a while. Be sure to answer our profiling question of the week: If Dembe was rescured after Katarina walked into the ocean, how can Liz remind him of Katarina??

The Music of General Shiro As a group of doctors operate on our victim in the cold open we hear the buzzing sounds of Erdem Baatar performing “Mongolian Throat Singing No. 7”. Later on in the episode as Dembe accepts the mission to find a favorable jury we hear “Cool Daddy Charm” by Orchestra Heinz Kiessling. Then when Dembe and Liz chat at the end of the episode about Katarina we hear “Keep Moving” by Communist Daughter.

Here we are at the end if another year, and I only made 3 mixes of new songs this year (plus 2 Bands editions). My output has fallen off of a cliff, sadly. I have to accept that I am not finding the time nor motivation to produce these as frequently as I'd like. In fact what has been happening more and more is I am not completing mixes before I already have enough new music for another mix, so by the time I go back to finish the first one, it has already gotten a little stale. So I am going to change the way I do this.Here is the deal from now on: instead of struggling to find time to produce mixes I am going to share an Apple Music playlist (I'll try to get Spotify running as well), and keep that updated throughout the year. Apple Music is the main reason for my drop in productivity, because I am really discovering all my new music through that nowadays. I highly recommend it. Here is a playlist for 2016, organized in a sort of decent-sounding order:Apple Music: BiH Songs 2016Spotify: BiH Songs 2016 (Coming soon, hopefully)I will come back here and provide new links for a 2017 playlist once I get a few tracks there worth hearing.So my general plan is for BiH to become a playlist each year, and I will still make mixes of bands to serve as a sort of 'best-of' for my favorite artists (I have a bunch of these in progress already) . And I will also do an annual mix of some of my favorite songs from that year. Here is this year's, which only includes a few favorites not heard on BiH mixes previously:BiH Favoritest Songs of the Year: 2016 feat. Communist Daughter, Animal Collective, pronoun, Seahawks, Morgan Delt, Tallest Man on Earth, David Bowie, Wye Oak, SHELLS, JapandroidsThis already feels so confusing, so let's summarize: BiH will now be annual playlists that I add to over time (and maybe subtract from if I get sick of a song or change my mind about it), an annual favorites mix, occasional bands mixes, and perhaps other mixes in between, but I am no longer making any promises on those.Thanks for listening. I really do love that BetterInHeadphones is a thing. Personally I have been really enjoying the 2016 playlist, and I hope you do as well.Until next year, all my best to everyone. xoxo

"This title song sets the tone for the rest of the album: a delicate, sadly poetic and deceptively simple piece wrapped in a huge heart."  Chris MacDonald, IndieFeed(Communist Daughter on IndieFeed Indie Pop)

Griffin Mang joins the Art School Album podcast to discuss a bonafide, essential art school album. Host Case Lowe and Mang discuss the rise and fall of Neutral Milk Hotel and Jeff Mangum, whether or not songs over five minutes should exist, and how it is never appropriate to sing Communist Daughter aloud.You can follow Art School Albums on Twitter and Instagram @artschoolalbums and you can follow Griffin Mang on Twitter and Instagram @yinwaster
