For the 10th anniversary of Spoon's 8th full-length album, They Want My Soul, we take a detailed look at how it was made. After Spoon concluded their remarkable run of records in the early 2000s with 2010's Transference, they took a much needed break. During this time, Britt Daniel formed Divine Fits with Dan Boeckner, while Jim Eno produced records for other artists. When Spoon got back together, they added new member Alex Fischel on keyboards and opted to work with producers Joe Chiccarelli and Dave Fridmann for the first time. Having that time apart gave them a new perspective on the band as they worked to expand the sound, incorporating more keyboards, hip hop and electronic influences and unique production approaches. The result was They Want My Soul, eventually released in 2014. In this episode, Britt Daniel describes how he approached songwriting for this album and how he wanted to move away from the “minimalist” label that the band had been given previously. By demoing the songs in a variety of different ways, he describes how the songs evolved in the studio and how producers Joe Chiccarelli and Dave Fridmann helped shape them. Jim Eno talks about the sense of fun that the band had with this record and how they were enjoying trying new approaches, while recommitting to making good music together. Additionally, Alex Fischel describes first being asked to join Divine Fits and how that transitioned into a role in Spoon. With Fischel brought in to the band and with Fridmann's fingerprints all over the record, they describe how the sound of this album led to the next era of Spoon. From recording in two halves and switching producers midway to Dave Fridmann's mad scientist approach to mixing to the influence of Dr. Dre's 2001 album on “Inside Out” to the spontaneous last minute recordings of “Rent I Pay” and “I Just Don't Understand,” we'll hear the stories of how the record came together.

GUEST OVERVIEW: Michael Ivins and Jules Kean began playing music together soon after they fell in love in 2021. They wrote a song about how they met and Jules wanted to turn it into a 45 they could spin on their record player. Michael had bigger ideas. With Michael's background of playing with the Flaming Lips for 38 years and assistant engineering to Dave Fridmann, he began to share with Jules what he had learned about music in this lifetime. In 2021, Ivins and Kean began recording in the 2nd bedroom of their small condo in Santa Monica, CA (including blanketed closets and bathrooms for DIY vocal booths). To create a fuller sound, they each played multiple instruments and added fun effects and distortion with the help of Pro Tools and Ivins's expertise.

The Flaming Lips formed in Oklahoma City in 1983. Over the last four decades, they've put out 16 albums. In 1999, they put out their album The Soft Bulletin, and that brought them a new level of success. And then, in 2002, they followed it up with Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, which was their biggest album to date. Pitchfork named it one of the top 5 albums of the year, Stereogum called it one of the best albums of the decade, and they won a Grammy. And the biggest song from the album was "Do You Realize??" So, for this episode, I talked to Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd about how that song was first imagined. You'll hear the very first demo Wayne recorded for the song, and the demo he and Steven put together later, on their way to making the final version with producer Dave Fridmann. For more, visit songexploder.net/the-flaming-lips.

Dallon Weekes is here on Roadcase this week, and I'm excited to share my interview with this veteran performer and experienced touring artist.  Dallon began his career in Salt Lake City with his band, the Brobecks, and then spent years with Panic! At The Disco before settling on most recent project, I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME (iDKHOW). Dallon is an intriguing mix of artistry, family man, and musical sage, if you will -- and has a keen wit and fun-loving personality.  I had a great time chatting with Dallon and we cover a ton of ground including his attitudes towards mental health and his experience a parent of teenagers. It's a fun and unique trip through the extraordinarily creative and uber-sharp mind of Dallon Weekes, and I'm here for it.  Check it out on this week's Roadcase!! For more information on Roadcase: https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

Mary Timony is a singer, songwriter, and guitar wizard from Washington DC. For the past 30 years she has fronted, founded, toured, and recorded with such celebrated and influential bands as Autoclave, Helium, Ex Hex and Wild Flag. Her fifth solo release, Untame The Tiger (out February 23 via Merge) is a beautifully elaborate guitar pop, riff driven record that touches on familial loss, emotional freedom and psychic shift.   In this episode Mary tells us how an onslaught of simultaneous dramatic experiences changed her perspective personally and artistically and how music brought her closer to her ailing father. She shares her experience of recording with the great Dave Mattacks, mixing with Dave Fridmann and gives some in-sight into the process of co-producing with longtime friend, Joe Wong.   We also hear about her first punk show, how she avoids “rote playing” and shares the funny and harsh experience that led her to quitting the viola.  We hear a few tunes and Mary tells us not one, but three hilarious tour stories.

Fresh off the release of their fourth and long-awaited studio album Exotico, we got the amazing opportunity to sit down with the members of Temples for an in-depth interview to discuss the specifics of the record and beyond. British psychedelic rock band Temples have just wrapped up their North American tour to mark the release of their latest album, Exotico. Produced by Sean Ono Lennon and mixed by GRAMMY® Award-winner Dave Fridmann, the album has quickly become their most experimental collection yet, with 16 tracks that serve as a “panoramic musical travelog set beyond the horizon on an impossibly utopic island”. Our interview with the band was a dream come true and a perfect insight into not only what makes them so great, but shows off the cohesion within their group. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wewriteaboutmusic/support

This week we're discussing every album by Mercury Rev. Led by Jonathan Donahue and Grasshopper (with huge contributions by Dave Fridmann), Mercury Rev left their mark on indie rock with their 1998 album, Deserter's Songs. But they have so many other albums that are either insanely underrated or overlooked completely. Their friendship with the Flaming Lips explains the stylistic similarities between the two, but their songwriting stands on its own.Closing track: “Sudden Ray of Hope” from See You on the Other Side (1995)Spotify playlist on Mercury Revhttps://open.spotify.com/user/motherpuncherincPatreonhttps://www.patreon.com/everyalbumeverMerchhttps://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/Instagram:Mike @pandermonkeyAlex @motherpuncherTom Osman's stuff:Debut album on Bandcamp, Spotify, AppleSubstackInstagramTwitterFacebookMike's Picks:See You on the Other Side (1995) — Best Album, Personal FavoriteInner Autumn Outer Space (2013) — Worst AlbumThe Light in You (2015) — Least FavoriteAlex's Picks:All Is Dream (2001) — Best AlbumSee You on the Other Side (1995) — Personal FavoriteInner Autumn Outer Space (2013) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlbums we discussed this episode..Yerself Is Steam (1991)Boces (1993)See You on the Other Side (1995)Deserter's Songs (1998)All Is Dream (2001)The Secret Migration (2005)Snowflake Midnight (2008)Strange Attractor (2008)Inner Autumn Outer Space (2013)The Light in You (2015)Bobbie Gentry's The Delta Sweete Revisited (2019)

El más reciente trabajo de Vetusta Morla es un auténtico festival de la exploración sonora, la recreación de instrumentos y timbres procesados… Melodías poderosas, armonías profundas y una capacidad de poliritmia asombrosa… Cable a Tierra es una colección de 10 canciones originales en las que el grupo explora las sonoridades y ritmos de los folclores de aquí y del otro lado del Atlántico, sin la pretensión de apropiarse de ello, sino más bien integrando todo en su propio sonido para crear nuevas formas estéticas y musicales. Un ejercicio de búsqueda, deconstrucción, inclusión y renacer de la raíz cultural de diferentes lugares en convivencia con el rock, el pop y las texturas electrónicas. Llevando sus letras al máximo exponente, Vetusta Morla retrata y debate sobre los actuales conceptos de raíz, cultura de pertenencia, la celebración, la familia o el pueblo, con el ánimo de contextualizarlos en un nuevo discurso. Relatos que, de alguna manera, ya se dejan entrever desde los propios títulos de las canciones que componen el álbum. En el exterior y en el interior brilla la obra de la artista Laura Millán, quien a través de piezas artesanales en 3D y fotografiadas posteriormente, ha dotado de escenas vivas y coloridas a cada una de las canciones. Su trabajo, a través de su obra Miniencuadro, está basado en la creación manual de dioramas en miniatura en los que se recrean escenas inesperadas llenas de humor y contrastes. La minuciosidad de sus piezas se mezcla con una forma de trabajo muy instintiva e imaginativa, replanteándose constantemente el uso de materiales cotidianos. Para Cable a Tierra ha creado de manera artesanal una serie de escenas en miniatura que simbolizan el universo del álbum. A la portada, como pieza matriz, le acompañan diez obras específicas que representan cada canción del disco. Estas creaciones, que la autora ha realizado en exclusiva para la banda, se han fotografiado y forman parte de la exclusiva caja que contiene el vinilo y el CD. La vida en miniatura, aunque suene a paradoja, puede que sea la mejor forma de mirarla. Bien de cerca y bien pequeña, obligando a nuestros ojos a reparar en cada detalle. El vídeo de Corazón de Lava que se estrena hoy cierra la trilogía audiovisual iniciada con La Virgen de La Humanidad y Puñalada Trapera. Los tres volúmenes, de estructura circular tanto en lo formal como en la narrativa, han sido producidos por 37 Films para Pequeño Salto Mortal y dirigidos por Patrick Knot, que presenta la trilogía como “El fiel reflejo de lo que creo que las letras de la banda son: cuentan siempre con algo que podríamos definir como ambigüedad… algo simbólico que requiere del espectador para cobrar significado”. Delicados video lyrics realizados por Teresa Cano animando la obra de Laura Millán acompañan a seis de los temas del álbum. Cable a Tierra es una producción de Carles Campi Campón y Vetusta Morla para Pequeño Salto Mortal. Todas las canciones escritas, arregladas e interpretadas por Vetusta Morla. Grabado en Estudio Uno (Colmenar Viejo, Madrid) en abril de 2021. Grabaciones adicionales en Casa Campi Estudios, Estudios Reno y Estudios Superiores (Madrid) entre febrero y mayo de 2021. Mezclado por Dave Fridmann en Tarbox Road Studios (Cassadaga, NY) en mayo de 2021. Masterizado por Fred Kevorkian en Kevorkian Mastering (NY) en junio de 2021.

Finisterre es la primera canción de adelanto de Cable a Tierra, el nuevo disco de Vetusta Morla. En la canción se cuenta una insólita y nada complaciente historia de amor, arropada por una mezcla de folclore, rock y electrónica. Las percusiones atávicas se dan la mano con los sintetizadores impulsados por el diseño de sonido realizado por Dave Fridmann. La portada de Finisterre es obra de la artista Laura Millán, quien ha reflejado la idea de dejarse llevar hacia el vacío de manera consciente. La paleta de color está inspirada en un atardecer de verano. El vídeo oficial sumerge al espectador en la historia de la canción con giros de cámara y movimientos escénicos con los que ciertamente, como dice la letra de Juanma Latorre “queda en suspenso la gravedad”. La idea original y la dirección de esta pieza es de Jerónimo Álvarez, habitual colaborador del grupo. Cable a Tierra (Pequeño Salto Mortal, editado y distribuido bajo licencia exclusiva por SONY Music Spain) es el nombre elegido por Vetust

Darren talks with Longwave's Steve Schiltz about his band Longwave, Van Halen, and of course, David Lee Roth! Steve talks about how Eddie's guitar playing was his entry to Van Halen, Dave, and Steve Vai and Jason Becker's catalogs, and how it informed and inspired how own work. Plus, the time Steve and James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins) were incredulous when a younger travel companion hadn't heard of, and subsequently did not get, the greatness of "Hot For Teacher." And Darren tells Steve about the Japanese import of the Spanish-language version of Eat 'Em And Smile, Sonrisa Salvaje (yes, you read that right). *** Steve Schiltz co-founded Longwave in 1999, and by 2002 the band was signed with RCA Records. Longwave's sophomore album, The Strangest Things, helmed by Flaming Lips producer Dave Fridmann, brought the band's music to the masses, and international tours with The Strokes, Bloc Party, OK Go and many more followed. Longwave went on an unofficial hiatus in 2009, after releasing Secrets Are Sinister. After years of collaboration, Schiltz wrote, recorded, mixed and produced Tonight Is The Ghost by himself — the first set of songs from the project that would become Hurricane Bells. The album quickly garnered kind words from critics and a following of fans. Steve's music has been featured on the soundtrack to The Twilight Saga: New Moon, alongside Death Cab For Cutie, The Killers and more. Hurricane Bells released an EP in 2010 and a second album, Tides And Tales, the following year. Another EP, There's Nothing Precious in the Past, was also completed. The band toured the States and played to crowds in Japan and India.  Steve has toured with the likes of Albert Hammond Jr., The Pierces, Teddy Thompson and James Iha. His playing and writing can be heard on Blue October's 2018 hit album I Hope You're Happy (for which he co-wrote the title song), as well as UK hits by Birdy and Gavin James, and James Bay's international 2019 hit “Bad”. He's also his own boutique studio, composing music for documentary films and ads for multiple national brands and companies. In 2019, Longwave reunited and released “If We Ever Live Forever”, followed by “Live At Bowery Ballroom” in 2020. New records by Blue October, Harvard Of The South, and the Japan-only “There's Nothing Precious In The Past” are all slated for release in 2020.

John Baizley from Baroness is our guest this week. We discuss the artwork for the band's new album Gold & Grey and the end of the color concept he started 12 years ago, the original title of the record and why it changed, which of the many album covers he's created is his favorite, his philosophy on making records and how the music for this one came together, the importance of being the leader in a collaborative vision for his creative endeavors and the adventurous approach that producer Dave Fridmann brought to the project. Petar, Brandon, and Jozalyn wax nostalgic about Rage Against The Machine and Brandon shares an experience he had with the The Mars Volta after news surfaced of their reunion. We also talk about Iron Maiden suing the makers of the video game Ion Maiden, the study which found you should not listen to metal while driving and much more.

The Delgados special with Emma Pollock in conversation Their first commercial release came with the inclusion of their track "Liquidation Girl" on the compilation album Skookum Chief Powered Teenage Zit Rock Angst from Nardwuar the Human Serviette. Instead of signing to a record label, the band started their own, Chemikal Underground, on which they released their own records and also some from other local bands, among them Mogwai and Arab Strap. Chemikal Underground's first release was the Delgados first single "Monica Webster / Brand New Car". The single caught the attention of BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, and the band quickly became one of his favourites, going on to record seven sessions for his show. The cost of Chemikal Underground's second release, the single "Disco Nation 45" by Bis, left the cash-strapped label unable to afford another release by the Delgados, so their next release "Lazarwalker" came from the London-based Radar Records. Tempted by Radar to a five-album deal, the band declined, instead poaching their A&R contact, Graeme Beattie, for work at Chemikal Underground. Another single, "Cinecentre" followed in early 1996 as the band juggled work at the label with several tours, and recorded their debut album. The band released two more singles, this time taken from their album Domestiques released in November 1996. The song "Under Canvas, Under Wraps" being voted number three in John Peel's Festive Fifty that year. The band released their second album in 1998. Peloton - also a cycling reference. The single "Pull the Wires From the Wall" gave the Delgados their first hit single in the UK Singles Chart, reaching number 69.[3] The band's close relationship with Peel continued, with "Pull the Wires From the Wall" voted to number one in the Festive Fifty (it would also make the all time chart made in 2000). The Delgados' evolution continued with The Great Eastern in 2000. The record was produced by Dave Fridmann. Their next single, "American Trilogy", reached number 61 in the UK chart. Their fourth album, Hate, was released on Mantra rather than the band's own label. The song "The Light Before We Land" was used as the opening theme for the anime Gunslinger Girl, while the song "Woke From Dreaming" is played at the beginning of episode 7. The band returned to their own label for 2004's Universal Audio. The band announced they were splitting up in April 2005 due to the departure of Henderson who found it difficult "to pour so much of my energy and time into something that never quite seemed to get the attention or respect [he] felt it deserved." The four will continue to run Chemikal Underground together. Songwriters Pollock and Woodward are pursuing individual projects, while Savage will continue production duties at the band's Chem19 in a new studio. Since the band's separation, the track "I Fought the Angels" from Universal Audio has been used in the fourth episode in the second season of the Golden Globe-winning medical drama Grey's Anatomy in 2006, and in the opening scene in the series premiere of BBC Three's Lip Service in 2010. A double disc containing 29 tracks, The Complete BBC Peel Sessions, was released on 12 June 2006 in Europe, and later in the year in the United States. Woodward released his debut solo album in June 2009 under the name Lord Cut-Glass. Savage also played on the album.

Songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and frontwoman of LA outfit Tashaki Miyaki, Paige Stark, joins me to delve into fragile and beautiful world of the late Mark Linkous and his band Sparklehorse's classic ‘It's A Wonderful Life'. We talk about animal imagery, the prevalence of mental illness amongst musicians, the appeal of beautiful sounds that have been fucked up, Paige's encounter with Mark Linkous before his death, Linkous's collaborators on the album from Tom Waits to Dave Fridmann and why the record's reputation for being sad is undeserved.

Musician Nick Palmer (thedangeros.com) joins Bill and Brian to discuss Sleater-Kinney's 'breakout' 7th album, the Woods (2005, Sub Pop). Nick describes discovering the band while working at Journeys in the mall, and then thinking the distortion on his pirated copy was a mistake until he bought the album and the liner notes told him that Dave Fridmann was the producer. We talk about Janet Weiss's drumming skills, Carrie Brownstein's rockstar presence, Corin Tucker's soaring vocals, why the band doesn't need a bass player, sexist micro-agressions and pronoun choice, whether or not the last track is any good, how the band should be viewed as one of the greatest of their time, and more as we make our way through the album track by track!

We sat down with recording engineer, producer and musician Billy Bennett to talk about some of the records that taught him the most about how to make a record.Highlights include recording vocals like Aretha Franklin and Iggy pop, how Dave Fridmann gets his signature drum sound made famous by The Flaming Lips, touring with MGMT, a demo of modular synths, the Grateful Dead's live recording techniques, making the first Whigs album, and a whole lot more.

MGMT was formed by Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden in 2001. The song Time to Pretend was one they wrote early in their career. It first came out on their debut: the Time to Pretend EP in 2005. And three years after that, they put out a new version of the song, on their first full-length album, Oracular Spectactular, which was named album of the year by NME and was one of Rolling Stone's top 20 albums of the decade. It went on to sell over a million copies worldwide. In this episode, Ben and Andrew trace how the song Time to Pretend was made, from its dorm room origins, to its first recording, to re-envisioning it with Grammy-winning producer Dave Fridmann. They also uncover the hidden sounds and easter eggs within the recording.

We moved to our new house and it has been beyond great. I am loving life in the mountains, as well as having so much space inside and out. It lends itself to a serenity I've not felt in a long time. We are still pinching ourselves, wondering if it is all real.I stole this picture my friend Scott took in Big Sur. There will certainly be images of our new life gracing many BiH covers in the years to come (5 years of BiH this September!). But for now this image is appropriate because I keep comparing our new home to Big Sur, which is my favorite place. So that's a good sign. A really good sign.This mix is more on the relaxing side, aside from this awesome reimagining of The Vaccines. I have to say I am really looking forward to the new Tallest Man On Earth album. He is on the verge of blowing up even more. His voice is a bit more accessible on the track included here (Sagres). Mark my words...BiH 47 feat. Buoy, Aero Flynn, The Vaccines (reimagined by Dave Fridmann), Twin Shadow, Bo Rocha, The Tallest Man On Earth, Cuushe, Champagne, Beach Baby, Yumi Zouma, Pepa Knight, The Japanese House
