I meet and hang with another Moondog! Beau from St. Louis - he's quite a culture vulture, and has a fascinating backstory. We talk about gigantic book collections, Van Dyke Parks, and a whoooole lot more. https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/

Well well well. The Wrist is finally here...or should I say, it's finally on streaming. Technically it's been around for like 5 months already and if you REALLY wanted to listen to it, you could've. NONETHELESS. To celebrate the more 'worldwide' release of the record, I wanted to get a real, tough-as-nails '60 minutes' style interview to hash out all the grittiness of it. How does one do that? You intentionally hire a hard-hitting interviewer to wrench the answers out of you like a police interrogation. Did I do that? Not really. I hired the very genial Thomas Erwin of Niagara Moon to do it, knowing he'd be kind and interesting in his engaging with me. AND HE WAS! So, enjoy what I like to call 'the definitive Fantastic Wrist interview'...

Hey, isn't that a Niagara Moon album? It is indeed. Longtime musical bud and friend of the pod Basic Printer wanted to come on and talk about it with me! Who was I to decline? Hear some of the stories behind this 2017 NM debut... https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ https://www.basicprinter.com/

Dan and I bring on our first guest to help us break down an album! Jordan Prince makes infectious, fun and distinct indie-pop over in Munich, Germany - though he originally hails from New Orleans. The expatriate life seems to suit him wonderfully. He's also an excellent candidate to discuss the work of Mac DeMarco. There's no other indie rocker out there like the Mac. His hazy sound, tender songwriting, carefree vibe, meticulous use of tape and masterful guitarwork all come together for a truly impactful combo. How many new bands point to him as an influence? A lot - that's how many. http://www.jordanprincetunes.com/ Moondogs - use discount code "RUDI" at checkout to get 50% off any one item in the Niagara Moon store: www.niagaramoonmusic.com/store www.danbarracuda.com

It's so warm and cozy in here you could rightfully call it a bit "safe", but it offers many great songs nonetheless. "Home Again" is about the overall vibe, really...

Niagara Moon is the indie pop project of Thomas Erwin, a friend of mine. His music is honestly some of my favorite and most listened-to music. He runs a podcast as well, so we decided to have an extra long conversation and then split it in two where we could each host half of the podcast! To hear the rest of the conversation, hop over to his podcast at niagaramoonmusic.com. :)

I respond to an interesting recent fan question. And play some live improvised piano for you!

I talk about the decline of guitar music, developing the Niagara Moon sound, how to get into making your own music, and more! (This podcast was formerly known as Talkin About The Passion. I used to interview other musicians and feature their music. Now I just talk about whatever. There might be guests here and there though...)

With influences spanning many genres, Kimaya Diggs melds the folky acrobatics of Joni Mitchell, the jazz stylings of Ella Fitzgerald, the catchy soul of Lianne LaHavas, and yet has something you can't quite put your finger on that makes her entirely unique. Her mastery of her voice is the focal point of each performance, and a transfixing experience. Her debut album, Breastfed, is a chronicle of bittersweet growing pains, expansive and generous. Whether roaring along with reckless urgency or irreverently recounting painful memories, Breastfed wrangles the growing-up narrative in a boldfaced, darkly humorous way.
