For the second collection of highlights from the Scherler Sundays 2022 concert and interview series, we have a document from an indie rock lover's dream: Doug Martsch of Built to Spill and John Atkins of 764-HERO, and more recently, his new band Sun Breaks. Doug and John each play intimate acoustic sets behind the old Carnegie Library in Olympia. For this show, I interviewed the two of them together since they have a bit of mutual history in their formative years in their respective music careers- you'll hear about that in a bit. I'm including about 20 minutes from each performance on today's show, and it was really difficult to choose which songs. Doug had a terrific selection of familiar cover tunes, including songs by Cat Stevens and Mazzy Star that aren't included here. If you want to hear the complete, unedited show you can find a link to that at patreon.com/lowprofile.Doug Martsch is best known as the man behind Built To Spill, Boise's undisputed kings of indie rock since the early 1990s, Treepeople before that, and a solo album called “Now You Know” released 20 years ago. Built to Spill also toured as the late Daniel Johnson's backup band, and shortly thereafter released the album "Built to Spill Plays the Songs of Daniel Johnson" in 2020. But my first exposure to his music was through his band with Olympia's Calvin Johnson on K Records, The Halo Benders. His wry lyrics and virtuosity on the guitar have made a life-long fan out of me from day one.Three Magnets Brewing Company, this season's collaborator, has also released several beers inspired by Built to Spill albums/songs, and were absolutely thrilled when Doug agreed to perform at Scherler Sundays! Built To Spill has a new album, When the Wind Forgets Your Name, out this Fall. He plays a tune from it here, along with some other BTS favorites and a few surprising cover tunes.John Atkins' band 764-HERO toured with Built to Spill in the early 1990s when they were label mates on Up! Records, and this commonality inspired the idea to interview Doug and John together for this show. John's music is cemented in the minds of indie fans in the Northwest and beyond. Following 764-HERO, the ever-evolving Atkins' other projects Hush Harbor, and currently, Sun Breaks, have continued to create emotionally charged, contemplative records. Today, you'll hear some favorite tunes from across the past few decades in John's catalog.This episode was recorded and engineered by Robin Carmosino behind the historic Carnegie Library in Olympia, WA on June 26th, 2022.

This is a cover of the 2004 song "You Fuck Me Up," by Dub Narcotic Sound System, a lo-fi funk band named after the recording studio in Olympia, Washington, where many of our friends and extended Pacific Northwest community have recorded albums over the decades for K Records and various other satellite labels. The original vocal on this song is performed by the Olympia underground art-ward multi-instrumentalist staple Heather Dunn (Tiger Trap, Liarbird, Lois, Raincoats, The No-No's, Halo Benders, Dennis Driscoll) whose fantastic and loose performance taps into an undeniable, elemental horniness. It's very alive. This music, and the larger constellation of music that constitutes its scene, has always represented, to us, the very fundamentals of punk. In its infinite capacity to miss the point, Pitchfork called this song "horrifically off-key" and "endlessly bad" back in the day. Lyrics Touch my nose and undress my belt It just the way that we used to felt It fucks me up night til noon When will you come again it’s never too soon You fuck me up, baby Up down and sideways and back again You fuck me up, baby Your shits so good yeah I wish you would Look through the soles of my shoes for clues It’s been hot so I ask just what to do You fuck up from night til to noon But when you’re gone come back ‘cuz it’s too soon You fuck me up Your hair fucks me up That’s why I creep That’s why I weep You fuck me up South states goes round and round Old records go round and round This town goes round and round Big wheel go rou nd and round Come take my heart and send it to me Come here now and you will see A rabid power my love can be A rabid power that’s a reason to dance with me You fuck me up I can’t get up I can’t stand up, baby Round and round I ain’t stop and You fuck me up I can’t stand up for the love ‘cuz you got me strung out I am the one that you want without a doubt Come on and scrape come on and scream a little more You fuck me up baby watch me and I head for the door You fuck me up I like the way you fuck me up You fuck me up Steamy windows Condensation Evaporation Elation Steamy windows You fuck me up, baby Credits Released May 1, 2020 Recorded, performed, produced, and mixed by YACHT Mastered by Timothy Stollenwerk

Electric Prunes dan el campanazo de salida. Thurston y sus Chelsea Light Moving recuperando a los Germs. Los muy nombrados The Men con nuevo trabajo. A los Halo Benders no les toques el bikini. Era normal que The Cramps perdieran la cabeza. Desde las antípodas llegan Blank Realm con su dosis de realismo sucio. El segundo Lp de John Grant el cantautor electrónico. Indie pop hecho en Brooklyn lo último de Beach Fossils. Se apedillaba Smith pero ahora es Johnny Marr en solitario con toque muy british. Y para inglés su ex compañero Morrissey. Australianos Youth Group y su versión de Alphaville. Nos vamos con un himno pop 60s de Evie Sands.
