Podcast appearances and mentions of Kenny Vasoli

On today's flashback edition of the cast, we throw it back to 2018 and my interview with The Starting Line frontman Kenny Vasoli. We touched base to talk about the beginnings of his side projects Person L and Vacationer and how that filled the times in between playing shows with TSL. One of my favorite interviews I've ever done in the history of my podcast, Kenny was also the subject of the very first written post I ever did for MusicBoxPete when it launched in 2009: my review of Person L's full length debut "The Positives". I had interviewed Kenny multiple times in chat transcripts over the years with Person L and Vacationer, but this was my first time chatting with him over the phone and in length about music. I've met him multiple times over the years during his jaunts in Boston and he has been nothing short of an amazing musician and a great friend, and that means a lot especially having been of a fan his since my high school years and was a big part of my formative years and was solely responsible for establishing my love for pop-punk music.

THANK YOU KENNY AND BRITAIN FOR COMING ON VACATIONER - MAKING OF CHERISH FILM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra2tGhNx8Zw&t=0s

On today's retro episode of the cast, we go back to 2018 and my interview with Kenny Vasoli. Obviously you know him from his days with The Starting Line, on this interview we touched upon his current band Vacationer and talk about his evolving musical tastes over the years, and how that has transformed him into a better and more musically diverse musician capable of achieving far greater wavelengths than ever before. We touched upon his evolution from his other band Person L and what he learned from his time there, plus we delved into the creation of his most recent album Mindset and his thought process going into that. It's not too often you get to interview your heroes, but this one was an all time high point for me.

Kenny and I go way way back to our days as little punks trying to figure out how to make this music thing our lives.  We both did just that! Over the years our paths have continued to criss and cross and I couldn't be happier that they do.  You may know Kenny from his various projects Vacationer, The Starting Line and or Person L. This chat was so lovely and even know we are totally buds, I am such a big fan of his music that I was a bit giddy to pick his brain here about his creative journey. Enjoyyyyyyyyy it! photo by : Matt Schwartz ( @shehitpause )   Quick note : This interview took place in September and we talk very briefly about his beloved dog Waldo who was going through a bit of a mysterious health problem at the time and sadly Waldo passed away about a few weeks later from cancer.  So RIP Waldo this one's for you.

In a very special installment of the show, Ken and Lina carefully select some of the biggest beats of their vinyl collection. They feel the rhythms in the beat lab while discussing the artists over a couple mimosas. Big beats are best.

Ken and Lina explore the music from the silver screen. Spinning LPs that originate from India, Japan, Brazil, back to the American tropics and mainland. Let's all go to the movies.

In the wake of yesterday's election results, Ken and Lina look to the record collection for source of positivity. They replenish morale with love songs, vibraphone funk, heartfelt soul and a way-deep track with questionable pronunciation.

Ken digs through his collection with Miss Lina to select 10 deep cuts that all come from Philadelphia's lush music scene. No stone left unturned, from soul to funk to disco to punk. Feel the love.

Ken is joined by his longtime friend and collaborator, Brian Schmutz (The Starting Line, Legendary Divorce, Inkling, Volcano Vinyl.)

You can thank Cloud Nothings and Desaparecidos for The Starting Line’s most recent 7” entitled “Anyways.” Kenny spoke highly of those two bands and how it got him excited to write in the style of The Starting Line again. It’s only fitting that Kenny is the next podcast after Jon Bunch spoke so highly of him in episode 57. Kenny straddles that line of being old enough to know the past but be involved in the mid 00 emo wave and has some amazing perspective on it. I learned a lot and have a great respect for his music.

Kenny Vasoli has a beer with me in the backyard of Brouwerij Lane in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. While you may know him from The Starting Line, Vasoli has been making "nu-hula" tunes with his band Vacationer since 2010.  He describes how the group used audience reactions to their live set to inform the mood of their more-realized follow-up LP, Relief. He also explains how he got into Polynesian music, what it's like singing about a former love, and why he wouldn't mind being the new Jimmy Buffett. vacationermusic.com drypaintsigns.com
