Ian Moore may have been born in Berkeley, California, but the sound from his eponymously named debut studio album reflects Austin, Texas, the place he called home.  Moore began playing violin at a young age, but switched to guitar as a teen under the influence of artists like Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan.  Moore's influence runs well beyond the blues genre, however, from Curtis Mayfield to Stevie Wonder, and from Sly & the Family Stone to the Rolling Stones.  Moore's debut album is based in the blues and roots rock.  Comparisons to Stevie Ray Vaughan, another Austin guitarist, come naturally with Moore's songwriting lyrics and his obvious guitar skills.  The album's success was a testament to Moore's ability to bridge the gap between traditional blues roots and contemporary rock sounds.While Ian Moore got his start in blues rock, he has been hard to pigeonhole into a single genre.  The record company wanted Moore to be a continuation of Stevie Ray Vaughan's legacy, but Moore had other ideas.  After his third album submission reflected a more power pop and roots rock sensibility, Capricorn Records dropped him.  Moore would continue a career as a touring musician and singer-songwriter, giving up greater fame for greater freedom as an artist to pursue his own path.    Rob brings us this lesser known blues album for this week's podcastNothingThe bluesy southern rock opening track to the album is a call back to a far-away love, perhaps reflecting life on the road.  “Miles and miles from nowhere but it's always someplace new.  My time is spent with strangers but my mind is spent with you.”RevelationThis funky song reminds us of the Black Crowes. Even the background singers are eerily similar, but beautiful. It chronicles the discovery that the singer's girl is lying to him, and the revelation of her true character.  Unlike other lovers, the singer is going to break free of her trap.HarlemInspired by the energy of Harlem, Moore's lyrics explores the ways we are separated from each other by neighborhoods and experiences, even through physical barriers when you're “riding through Harlem in my bulletproof car.”How Does It FeelThis song tells a story about a girl who continues to break up with a guy only to come back over and over.  It was one of the songs that received airplay at the time the album had been released, along with “Nothing.”  It starts slowly and builds to the chorus. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main Theme from the motion picture “Wayne's World 2”“Party on, Wayne!”  “Party on, Garth!” This second outing from Mike Myers and Dana Carvey dropped in December 1993. STAFF PICKS:Good by Better Than Ezra  Wayne kicks off the staff picks with a hit from the indie band Better Than Ezra.  The band came out of Baton Rouge where they attended LSU.  The song is about the positive things that come from the end of a relationship.  While there is always drama and hurt feelings, there are also good things on which to reflect when the dust settles.She Hates Me by Puddle of MuddLynch was able to find a clean version of this song for the podcast.  Wes Scantlin wrote this song along with Jimmy Allen, the original guitarist.  By the time the demo tape was heard and a decision was made to sign the band, the original group had broken up.  Scantlin was set up with new bandmates when signed to Flawless Records, and people didn't hate the song or the band.Purple Haze by The Cure Bruce brings us a cover of a famous piece by Jimi Hendrix.  A tribute album called “Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix” was released in 1993, and The Cure provided this take on Purple Haze.  It went to number 2 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.Like the Weather by 10,000 Maniacs Rob closes out the staff picks with an acoustic rendition of this song recorded for “MTV Unplugged.”  The song originally came out in 1987 on their third album.  Natalie Merchant would leave the group for a solo career shortly after this live performance. NOVELTY TRACK:(I Know I Got) Skillz by Shaquille O'Neal featuring Def JefCelebrity rap songs were in vogue at the time, but we think Shaq's skills were better exhibited on the basketball court.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the #DivineStyler interview session! Folks, this is one for the ages - we’ll go ahead and say it right now, this is definitely a Top 5 interview to date, possibly Top 3. Divine is doing MAJOR damage in 2016 as the primary producer behind Styles of Beyond, Get Busy Committee & Demigodz member Ryu’s solo LP “Tanks for The Memories”, and we were lucky enough to nab him for an extensive 90 minute interview. We talk early days growing up in NYC, his father’s influence on him musically, his incredible journey to LA in the early-mid 80s and the how he landed on Ice T’s Rhyme Syndicate roster. Divine also opens up on a topic he rarely, if ever, talks about - the life changing event that led him to Islam and how it completely morphed his creative output forever. There’s a LOT more in here people ( how about Everlast, DJ Muggs & Def Jef stories?), but we can’t give it all away here. So - pull up, hit play, cop Ryu’s “Tanks For the Memories” and remember it’s ALWAYS that #smithsonian #grade // @southernvangard on #itunes #podcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud // #hiphop #rap #dj #mix #interview #podcast #twiceaweek #ATL #WORLDWIDE Recorded live Sept 11, 2016 @ Dirty Blanket Studios, Marietta, GA southernvangard.com @southernvangard on #itunes #podcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud twitter/IG: @jondoeatl @southernvangard @cappuccinomeeks @beatlabusa

My guest this week is R.M. O’Brien. He’s a poet and a playwright and the main man behind Nuclear Power Pants. We’ve been friends since we first played a show together at Purchase College in 2004, and we’ve gone on several tours together throughout the years. He talks about forming Nuclear Power Pants at Purchase College, and then reforming the band in Providence and then Baltimore. We talk about the inherent frustration of touring, and the point where touring with his band began to clash with his role as a family man. He explains his conversion to Sikhism, and how that’s affected his outlook on life and his approach to creative pursuits. Mike Riley’s art this week is an homage to Def Jef’s Soul Food. This episode is hosted by Splice Today.

Some shows slow down for the holidays – but we’re doubling down! We start with NFL All-Pro Charles Tillman of the undefeated Carolina Panthers, who has a new book about how to survive and thrive in those awkward middle school years. (Too late to help us, but we digress.) Then (26:30 mark) we go deep with music legend Def Jef about rapping with Shaq, the evolution of hip-hop, and what it’s gonna take to get more athletes releasing rap records already!
