New York has a plan to finally get off fossil fuels within the next 20 years. Doing that will mean changing a lot about how we live, from what our buildings look like to how we get around and where our electricity comes from. Can we pull it off? This week, Hell Gate visits one of NYC's oldest power plants in Queens, and a solar-paneled HDFC co-op in Harlem to find out.This episode is sponsored by Bike Plant.

Is the power in your house dirty enough to affect your Home Theater experience? We quantify how to determine if you have dirty power and how to clean it up. We also look at our favorite Home Automation Scenes, read your emails and go through the week's news.  Dirty Power Howard's email got us thinking about power and power conditioners. There is a lot of talk about dirty power and how it affects the life and performance of your electronics. Some say you will see and hear a difference. Others say it doesn't make a difference unless the power is really dirty.  How do you know if you have dirty power? You measure it with a Line Noise EMI Meter that measures the harmonics or dirty electricity on your home's electrical wiring in millivolts. Acceptable readings are generally between 200 and 400 mV. When you get over 800mV some sort of power line filtering is needed. Well at least that's what some experts say.  The Line noise meters aren't cheap. The one we use costs about $130 (AlphLabs Inc Power Line Meter). If you have dirty power, a good power conditioner will cost you anywhere between $50 and $150. There are some that run about $500. Almost all provide surge suppression so for that alone you may want to consider one for about $50. Real World Results   We measured the line noise in Ara's house in two places. The room where the podcast is recorded and he has his music listening setup as well as the family room theater. The podcast studio is an addition that was done about 15 years ago. The family room was original construction from 1992. The results were a little surprising: Podcast Studio - The Line Meter measured 150 millivolts which is good. The socket that was used was one the above the one used for a Furman power conditioner. The measurement from a socket on the power conditioner was 160mV. For fun we unplugged the Airport Express, audio amplifier, and the mixing board used for recording the podcast from the power conditioner and remeasured. The measurement dropped to 130mV in the unconditioned and power conditioned outlets.  Family Room Theater - The Line Meter measured 30 millivolts which is excellent. It also measured 30mV for the power conditioned outlets.  Conclusion - Ara's home has clean power! And the power conditioner didn't have to do anything to the power.  Can You Hear and See the Difference? This is a touchy subject similar to Hi Res Audio. In our tests, there was no perceptual change in sound or picture quality using a Furman and Belkin Power conditioner. Which makes sense since the filtering essentially left the low noise levels untouched. Do we have power conditioners? Yes, because they act as high falootin power strips and they don't cost much more than a quality power strip.   If you have very dirty power or even grounding issues, a power conditioner will definitely clean it up and improve your experience. Dirty power can be caused by a number of different electrical issues, some examples of these issues include: Smart Meters Dimmer Switches Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFL) Switch-mode power supplies (Computers, Phone and Tablet Chargers, etc) Surges or transients in voltage Power interruptions Variations in the frequency of power Waveform distortions Non-linear loads If you suspect you have dirty power it may be a good investment to buy a similar meter and know for sure. If you have some buddies you can all chip in and buy one together. When one is done you can ship it to the other buddy if they don't live nearby. You can ship it anywhere in the US for about $8 with the USPS “If it fits it ships” box.  Our Home Automations/Scenes  Home automation has three basic functions:  Remote control of devices around the house - by this we mean something as simple turning on a light from the comfort of the couch or as complex as closing the garage door from another state  Controlling devices throughout the house at specified times - You can set your porch light to come on at sunset and turn off at 11:00PM for example. Scenes - Scenes are more or less the same thing as controlling a device at a specific time but usually entail controlling more devices or they can be a reaction to an event, or they can be enabled on demand. Here is a list of some of the time based automations we use in our homes: 30 min before sunset if people are present - Kitchen ceiling lights are turned on. At this time it's starting to get dark in the kitchen so it's nice to have the extra light. You'd be surprised how long you will work in low light before your mind tells you to turn on the lights and see everything better. You may think this is no big deal but something so simple comes in handy when you are in the middle of cooking. Note that if it's cloudy 30 minutes is not early enough. Next improvement is to tie it in with the weather. 15 min before sunset - The rest of the indoor lights are turned on.  Sunset - All outdoor lights are turned on 8:45 PM - The kitchen light bleeds into the family room and at this point we have settled into the evening watching TV. This automation dims the kitchen lights to 40% and turns the hue lights in the cabinets to amber also at 40%. There are hue lights behind the TV and those go to  violet/purple color. Finally the lamp in the family room also goes reddish/amber color. This enhances the viewing experience. 11:00 PM - All indoor lights are turned off and the family room and living room lamps are set to 15%. They act as a night light. This is repeated at midnight because sometimes we are awake at 11:00 so we'll turn a few lights back on. The midnight automation covers us with a final sweep of the indoor lights 2:00 AM - All outdoor lights are turned off. Sunrise - the two lamps acting as night lights are turned off 9:00 AM - All lights are turned off. In case someone leaves the house with out turning off lights they are all turned off. Here is a list of some of the sensor automations we use in our homes: Mudroom Light - you have to go through the mudroom when leaving or entering through the garage. The doors have contact sensors so when a door is opened the light comes on automatically and turns off in two minutes only if it is dark outside.   Porch Sensor - from 2:00 AM until sunrise if the motion sensor in the porch is tripped the porch light is turned on. Followed by a light upstairs one minute later. This is done to simulate someone waking up because the light turned on. Side of House and Backyard Sensors - After midnight any of these sensors turns on outdoor lights. The lights turn off after five minutes. Since animals trip this automation pretty frequently we have a physical controller that has a button to activate a scene called “Security Lights Off”.  Here is a list of some of the seasonal automations we use in our homes: Halloween - When this is enabled the outdoor lights turn to purple and orange at sunset.  Christmas -  When this is enabled the outdoor lights turn to Red, Green, Orange, Blue, and White,  at sunset. We also have a scene in the projector room that manages the lights for watching a movie. I tried to tie it to the play/pause button on the harmony remote and just got frustrated with it. Instead there is a button on a separate controller that is a toggle for movie watching on and off. Super simple but not as fancy.  What are your favorite automations?

Conor "Dock" Dockery could be described as a vital cog in the music scene, be it writing tunes with his band The Scratch, people referencing his previous work with Red Enemy or his work behind the lens, filming artists from a multitude of music genres. Myself and Evan get a great insight on "Dock" as he fills us in on the rollercoaster of a career he experienced in the music scene, since he embarked on it during his teens. It's also to "Docks" credit that he answered the hard questions about Red Enemy and if you're a fan of the band this episode is not to be missed! Please convert your friends to the show, share it and subscribe to it on YouTube. Respect and thanks Richie. Songs featured and permission granted: Flaker (c) The Scratch, 2020 all rights reserved.

I was delighted to welcome Ainsley (Singer) and Ronan (Drums) of Scathed to the show. I have been a long time admirer of the band when I heard "Petrify". They got Kelvin Doran of Serpent Tusk Studio to design the fantastic artwork for their brilliant E.P "Where the truth lies" and the rest as they say is history. Scathed is built around heavy rhythms, direct riffs and Ainsley's diverse vocals, which when blended together creates their unique sonic attack. Danielle and myself had a great chat with Ainsley and Ronan and you'll also get to hear their new killer release "Deceit". Thanks for listening and don't forget to share, like and convert.

This week we talked with Dr Adam Lucas about the web of connections between coal lobbies, conservative media and Australian politics. This is one of the interviews we've been most excited for and what we learned truly shocked us.**EDIT** The Heartland Institute think tank is based in Chicago, Illinois, NOT California.What you'll learn:the various methods used by the fossil fuel industry to deny climate change these include creating think tanks such as The Heartland Institute and funding climate science denial researchthe 'revolving door' and 'golden escalator' movements of staffers between coal lobbies and government how to talk to climate deniers and internet trolls (and learn from Bella about what not to do)traceable and untraceable donationsTo learn more:Watch the Greenpeace documentary 'Dirty Power' and visit their website.visit the Michael West Media website and learn about the staffers and MPs moving through these 'revolving doors'

This episode is examines the thought process that goes into an artist designing a brief for a band and the work that goes into achieving a final product that will represent both the band and the artist. Contributions by Kym Horner of Kym Horner Design, James Sheridan of James Sheridan Does Art/deadxactress, Colin Bolger of Dabulga Design and Mick Carey of Zealot Cult to help to understand the thought process with the design, concept and final product. There's that infamous Gary Holt story when Exodus played Cork. I also want to thank Witchkicker, Dirty Power, Drakonis and Durt Burd for summiting their brilliant songs for this episode.

My guest today is Mr. Dave Malone. Dave is best known as being a 30+ year veteran as one of the vocalists, guitarists and songwriters with The Radiators, one of the quintessential New Orleans party bands. For over 30 years the “Rads” have defined the sound of good times in New Orleans and many a Tulane University grad has fine memories of attending a few Radiators gigs during his/her time spent in the Crescent City. Dave is a great singer, songwriter and, as you'll hear, an avid guitar collector with an amazing guitar collection. In this fun chat Dave talks about the New Orleans music scene in the early days of the Radiators, how the drummer brought in a chainsaw to the gig and proceeded to chop up tables, his brother Tommy Malone from the Subdudes (also a guest on the Riff Raff- see episode 19), how his hometown of Edgard, LA still affects his music and songwriting to this day and many other things- including a lot of laughs in between!   Recorded at Dirty Power, New Orleans Oct. 2019   *In 2001 the Radiators equipment truck was stolen, it was a huge hit and the insurance screwed Dave over. The equipment was never found. I've reposted some of Dave's guitars that were never recovered so if anyone out there ever sees one of these instruments you know who it belongs to.* Melancon Telecaster- Dark green serial#9607 Fender '57 Reissue Stratocaster blonde serial #VO11050 Fender '62 Reissue with Tele Neck (Sea foam green) Serial #VO27861 DanElectro 12 String Blue Sparkle - Serial # 019912279 DanElectro Baritone (Robin Egg Blue) Serial #029902687 Gibson Chet Atkins (Black solid body acoustic) Serial #940197784 Fender Electric Mandolin (FM-61) Serial # KD00008172 Budda Verbmaster 30 Amplifier Serial #V3F-003 Budda Twinmaster 12 Serial #19-0174Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-riff-raff-with-shane-theriot/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Great time hanging with Barbara in the RFB studio. "Dirty Power" is definitely an album that you need to make room for in your collection. Great songs with great lyrics that's all entirely relatable. "Barbara Endes writes and sings these melodic bursts of punchy roots-punk-surf-rockabilly complete with vocal harmonies, the bluesy guitar of David Weiss, and the skin tight rhythm section of bassist Dave Mandl (yeah, the guy on WFMU) and drummer Nancy Polstein... I keep looking for new rock bands to like with little or no success. I think I found one." -  Aquarian Weekly Artist name | Song name Girls On Grass | Because Capitalism Volk | Hat & Boots Girls On Grass | Friday Night Studebaker Huck | Bitter Heart Tall Days | Hey There Man The Narrowbacks | On The Radio Girls On Grass | Down at the Bottom The Hooten Hallers | Hard to Trust Your Baby (Live) Girls On Grass | Pissin Down a Road John Doe | Go Baby Go To stay up to date on everything related to Girls On Grass please bookmark their website.

My guest today is Mr. Johnny Neel. How do you describe Johnny Neel? Well he is easily one on the most brilliant musicians I've ever worked with- keyboardist, vocalist, songwriter, producer etc…  Maybe start with one part Leon Russell, morph together with Ray Charles and add a dash of Thelonius Monk and a pinch of Art Tatum. Maybe a touch of Jaco's basslines too.  Johnny is best known for being a former member of the "Allman Brothers Band" after being recruited by Dickey Betts and Gregg Allman. I've been lucky enough to work with Johnny on lot's of projects as well as in his band and even on a few of his records including "Late Night Breakfast". He's always had great players in his band including guitarists Brent Mason, Jack Pearson and Pat Bergeson.  Johnny and myself were in a short lived jam band for a while called “The Grease Factor”  (named after my 2nd solo record) which also included Jeff Sipe (Apt 254Q) on drums, Count M Butu on percussion and Derek Jones and Neal Fountain on bass. We did one live record before calling it quits. We also did a short stint together with Blue Floyd (with Mat Abts on drums and Berry Oakley Jr. on bass guitar.)  He's featured on 3 of my 4 solo records- (Hwy 90, Dirty Power and The Grease Factor) and you'll hear a few clips in this podcast.  Johnny has also played with Gov't Mule, Blue Floyd, written songs for many country artists and TV/movie soundtracks. He operates his own studio called Straight Up Sound in Nashville, TN.  This episode was recorded in Nashville at his studio on Jan. 30th 2018.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-riff-raff-with-shane-theriot/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

My guest today is Mr. Sonny Landreth. Sonny is a singer, songwriter and guitarist who is probably the most innovative slide guitar player ever. Just ask Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Robben Ford and his many legions of guitar fans. I first got hip to Sonny when I got a copy of his record called Outward Bound, which is still one of my favorite records of his. He's had a very long and successful career as a solo artist with many solo records to his name including the recent- “Recorded Live in Lafayette” which we talk about in this podcast.  I've known Sonny for a while but in this interview I learn many things about his early years and it was a lot of fun to ask him all this stuff. We talk about his meeting Hendrix, early influences, how he got his Dumble amp, Clifton Chenier, getting the gig with John Hiatt, so much more….oh and he shares a lot of slide secrets in this one. Also there is a lot of playing and equipment chat for you gear nerds.  I drove out to Lafayette, La about 2 hours west of New Orleans on a weekday and got stuck in traffic so I was a little late getting to the studio. I finally walk in to engineer Tony Daigle's studio where Sonny records most of his records (and where I recorded the overdubs for my tune Mr. Ed with Sonny from my record Dirty Power. I plug into one of Tony's Fender deluxes and Sonny is plugged into an old Fender Bassman and we let it rip.   How does someone from Breaux Bridge, LA by way of Mississipi become the most original slide guitar player on the planet?

In a never ending quest to deliver the most "fresh" and "exciting" content, Tripod have changed it up AGAIN and thought the best way to achieve this was not to turn up at all. For what is more pure than a podcast that contains no content BUT in some cosmic way contains ALL content as a result?! The resulting podcast was described by our test audience as "silent". So we did something different. However, due to a scheduling error, and the fact that Scod and Yon have young heirs to groom in their image, responsibilities have been left to, what many say, is the best two Perfectly Good Podcast personalities. The result? The Gatesy and Pog show!! In this episode Poggo gets up close and personal with Gatesy and finds out what really makes him tick. We asked Gatesy to provide three songs (as that is the way of things) which he considers his: Favourite song that didn't make the cut for 101 Tripod Hits Least favourite song (that also didn't make the book) Favourite song that he knows the others hate, so loves it even more. Episode Notes: 01:37 - It's the Pog Couple! 29:50 - Gatesy and Pog receive a wonderful letter 34:00 - Gatesy's Audio Corner anyone? Want to suggest a segment you'd like to hear? Get in touch on Twitter or Facebook. 52:40 - Recording of Dirty Power from Perfectly Good Songs 1:11:03 - Recording of The Homophobic Christmas Tree from For The Love Of God! 1:22:39 - Recording of Shiny Chin also from Perfectly Good Songs 1:36:10 - Gatesy compliments Poggo We love to hear from you! Get in touch on Twitter and Facebook, request a song, request a theme or submit your ideas for a segment. Or, subscribe, rate and comment so we know how many Gatesy and Poggo episode we should do.
