F!RES - "The Lonely Sea" from the 2021 self-released album High Tide. Ballard-based band F!RES pay tribute to the late Shawn Smith on today's Song of the Day. The local legend had lent his distinctive vocals to bands like Brad, Satchel, Pigeonhed, and The Twilight Singers, as well as his solo material. And he also appears on the new F!RES full-length High Tide. "High Tide really is a love letter to Seattle and to the memory of our friend @shawnsmithsinger," the band wrote on their Instagram account. "Shawn was so giving of his talent and we were honored that he wanted to join us in the studio on some of the tracks."

Spinning Out (another music podcast) We talk to artists about their favorite albums and go on wild tangents. This week's guest is my new friend Phil Ward aka Lord Warddd. We chatted about the 1984 hip-hop compilation Street Sounds Electro 4. Once again, I've broken my personal rule of covering compilations, but this was too interesting to pass up. Street Sounds Electro 4 isn't available for streaming on Spotify, but you can check out the full compilation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b37WCOv3QWU Phil talks about how influential this compilation was in his musical journey, and opens my mind about early hip-hop, techno, electro, dance music, as well as Northern Soul. Phil also was in the band, Lo Fidelity Allstars, in the mid to late 90s. They are most known for their 1998 debut album, "How to Operate With a Blown Mind," which featured the song "Battle Flag", featuring Pigeonhed. That song was featured on tv shows such as ER, Sopranos, and films such as, Coyote Ugly, Very Bad Things, Drillbit Taylor and much more. Phil Ward makes music under the name Lord Warddd, which recently released an "The Virtual Bison EP," on Plastic Miracles records. Check that out here! https://lordwarddd.bandcamp.com/album/the-virtual-bison-ep

I first interviewed producer, musician, and engineer Steve Fisk for Tape Op issue #3 in 1996. Steve has made a name for himself, recording iconic tracks for groups like Beat Happening, Nirvana, The Screaming Trees, Low, and Car Seat Headrest. He's also been a prolific solo musician and member of the fine groups, Pell Mell and Pigeonhed. I met up with Steve as he prepared to move from Seattle to Tacoma. Enjoy!
