Jess Walter has written a book that is funny, compulsively readable, and complex. In So Far Gone, he reminds us, in a world that sometimes seems to have gone crazy, you escape society at your own peril. Can you escape the world into isolation or is life only meaningful when you live it for and with others? We ask the very talented Jess Walter that very question.

Fiction writer Jess Walter joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to discuss his new novel So Far Gone, in which a former environmental reporter living off the grid is jolted back onto it by the surprise arrival of his two grandchildren and news of his missing daughter. Walter talks about developing the character of his protagonist's son-in-law, whose right-wing politics are one of the causes of the family's fissure. He also reflects on what it means that conspiracy theorists, who were formerly at the fringes of American politics, are now at its center, and why it is important for writers to depict the interior lives of those with different political beliefs. Walter reads from So Far Gone.

Pre-Order So Far Gone by Jess Walter HERE Rhys Kinnick is an aging former journalist who's secluded himself in the woods of Washington after a family blow-up and his increasing disenchantment with the way the world is changing around him. Like Rhys, our human tendency is to withdraw when the world seems to be falling apart, but Jess Walter's novel shows us why it's important to hold onto connections with the people we love, even when those connections are sometimes fraught. The book is filled with a colorful cast of fully-developed characters – all multi-facetted people with nuanced storylines.

We don't have many guests return to the show six times. Jess Walter is now one of them. Barbara DeMarco-Barrett has interviewed him three times — for his novels Beautiful Ruins and The Financial Lives of the Poets, as well as his story collection We Live in Water. He's been on with Marrie Stone for The Cold Millions and the story collection The Angel of Rome. There are a few reasons we're always eager to talk to him. First, he's always trying something different — short stories, novels, historical fiction, mystery, humor. And no matter what he's up to, his works are universally terrific. But he's also a fantastic teacher. We bill the show as a free MFA program from the masters, and Jess is a thoughtful and articulate master. Like explaining why his hilarious short story, Cheston!, never makes the cut for his collections. Jess is the author of eight novels and two story collections. His latest, So Far Gone, is out June 10th and published by Harper. It is very much born of this time and this country. It takes place in Trump's America, back to the familiar territory of Spokane, Washington. It's laugh out loud funny and poignant and tragic and all the things Jess is known for. He joins Marrie to talk about it. For more information on Writers on Writing and to become a supporter, visit our Patreon page. For a one-time donation, visit Ko-fi.

Weekly Shoutout: Cruznotes is back! One email a month to bring you everything happening across the cruzfolio network, join Jaime's newsletter here: cruzfolio.com/cruznotes. -- Hi there, Today I am so excited to be arts calling author Paul Cody! (paulcodywriter.com) About our guest: Paul Cody was born in Newton, Massachusetts, graduated from Newton North High School and from the University of Massachusetts at Boston, magna cum laude, With Distinction in English, and Senior Honors in Creative Writing. He worked at the Perkins School for the Blind for three years, and earned an M.F.A. from Cornell University, where he was twice co-winner of the Arthur Lynn Prize in Fiction. He has received grants from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Saltonstall Foundation, and was awarded a Stegner Fellowship by Stanford University (declined). He has worked as a housepainter, teacher, editor and journalist, was associate editor and staff writer at Cornell Magazine, where he twice won CASE awards for articles; and has taught at Cornell, Ithaca College, Hobart and William Smith Colleges and the Colgate Writing Seminars, and in Auburn Prison.

All the best! -- WALK THE DARK available May 27th from Regal House Publishing! https://regal-house-publishing.mybigcommerce.com/walk-the-dark ABOUT WALK THE DARK: Oliver Curtin grows up in a nocturnal world with a mother who is a sex worker and drug addict, and whose love is real yet increasingly unreliable. His narration alternates between that troubled childhood and the present of the novel, where he is serving the last months of a thirty-years-to-life sentence in a maximum-security prison in upstate New York for a crime he committed at age seventeen. His hope for redemption is closely allied with his memories, seen with growing clarity and courage. If he can remember, then life in the larger world might be possible for him. Praise for Walk the Dark "Paul Cody's Walk the Dark is creepily beautiful, full of stillness and darkness. Cody takes us into places we don't know and shows us strange states of mind that feel absolutely true. It's both soothing and terrifying being in Oliver's mind, because he sees such beauty but also feels forever separated from it. For decades now I've seen Paul Cody's work as the ultimate cross between horror and literary fiction, taking us deeper into the weird American night than anyone in either camp. Walk the Dark is a continuation of that same world we know from Cody's The Stolen Child and So Far Gone, both of which are great, terrifying novels." - Stewart O'Nan, author of Last Night at the Lobster, Emily, Alone; and Wish You Were Here "Walk the Dark is harrowing and vivid, taut as a wire. Paul Cody intertwines terror and hope; he knows how to hook his readers from the start -- and on every page. Keep the lights burning when you open this spell-binding book." - Julie Schumacher, author of Dear Committee Members -- Arts Calling is produced by Jaime Alejandro (cruzfolio.com).

It's hard to remember a time when Drake wasn't the biggest rapper in the world. He is Canada's most successful AND influential artist of the 21st century. As both a rapper and a singer he has pretty much single-handedly put our country on the map for hip-hop and R&B. He is a five-time Grammy winner, has 85 million monthly listeners on Streaming Services- more than any other rapper - and holds the record for most number 2 singles on the Billboard Hot 100. He also ranks fifth behind the likes of the Beatles and Mariah Carey with the most number 1 singles. By the mid-2000s when Drake embarked on a rap career, Canadians already knew him from Degrassi The Next Generation. Of course, His name wasn't Drake back then, it was Aubrey Graham, a teenager from the Toronto neighbourhood of Forest Hill, who caught his break when he was cast as Jimmy Brooks. Aubrey left the show during its eighth season to pursue music full time. As much as he had become a star on Canadian television as an actor, he wanted to go global with his music career. Drake dropped his first mixtape, Room For Improvement, on Valentine's Day 2006. He was still working on Degrassi at the time, but had already made some connections in the rap game. Drake would wait a year before he followed up Room For Improvement. But in that time he had already made connections that would help him advance his music. Among the producers he brought in to make beats for him were 9th Wonder, who had worked with Jay-Z, Destiny's Child and De La Soul, Atlanta's DJ Toomp and a couple of local guys: Boi-1da once, and Noah “40” Shebib. Jas Prince was an aspiring rap mogul from Houston, Texas looking to become a legit rap mogul like his father, J Prince, founder of Rap-A-Lot Records. While he was looking around MySpace one day in 2006, he found Drake's artist page and saw a lot of promise in the tracks posted. He played some of the songs for his dad, J Prince, but he couldn't hear what Jas was so excited about. Then one day Jas shared Drake's music with New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne, who had just struck gold with his album Tha Carter II. At first, Wayne wasn't impressed. Jas persisted though, and months later on New Year's Day, he played Wayne a few more songs in the car, one of which was Drake's remix of Wayne's own “A Milli,” a song that had yet to be released commercially. That was the moment Drake became legit. Jas put Lil Wayne in touch with Drake and the next day Drake was flying to Houston to meet with one of his heroes. Drake ended up joining Lil Wayne for his I AM Music Tour at the end of 2008 and the Toronto kid quickly became the New Orleans legend's protege. Every opportunity they could get they would record new tracks, some of which ended up on Drake's next project. So Far Gone, Drake's third mixtape, was released on February 13, 2009. One song on the mixtape stood out more than others and it began to catch fire, leading Drake to make a video with one of the biggest artists in the world. This is the true story of Drake's 'Best I Ever Had' with newly unearthed audio from MUCH, as well as sound from Rap Radar, MTV News, Myspace, and CBS News.
In today's episode, we're going through every solo Drake album and choosing the best song from each of them. This list includes all of his solo albums that are available on streaming platforms, from So Far Gone all the way to For All The Dogs. - LIVE ALBUM REACTIONS HERE - List of Songs Discussed •8AM in Charlotte •Champagne Poetry •Tuscan Leather •Know Yourself •& More
Yurrrrrrr. Ready Player One. Elon vs Zuck. Submarine vs Space. So Far Gone and Macadelic. Peace and love.

Sneaker Pimps - "So Far Gone (feat. Simonne Jones)" from the 2021 album Squaring The Circle on Unfall. It might have taken almost two decades, but Sneaker Pimps are finally back with their first record since 2002's Bloodsport. Titled Squaring the Circle, the album is a lengthy 16 tracks that sees founding members Chris Corner and Liam Howe team up with LA-born, Berlin-based musician Simonne Jones on vocals. Our Song of the Day, “So Far Gone” probably best utilizes her emotive voice to haunting effect. Harkening back to the trip-hop that put them on the map in the ‘90s, “So Far Gone,” is cemented by a downtempo electronic beat while arpeggiated synth flourishes sparkle around Jones' yearning cries of nostalgia. “So far gone, never return, no safe ground,” she coos with a deeper timbre than the band's original singer Kelli Alli's wispy vocals rang on iconic songs like “6 Underground.” The textured dynamics and affecting vocals make “So Far Gone” an album highlight and an exciting return for a band that some (wrongly) think of as a one-hit-wonder.

Arguably our best title so far and episode 48 has arrived! And it is masked with tragedy as Steven got a huge ink stain on his comforter. But have no fear (Shakespeare), it was at the end of the episode and we brought you some BRILLIANCE. Connor, for once, brings us down to the depths of despair as he brings up the Pandora Papers. A topic that should be major news on every network but fell victim to those in power not caring nor feeling any desire to act ethically. We also just really love food this week. All of our love-it's involve food. Who doesn't love food? If you have a Sam's Club or Costco membership, buy Smore's Snack Mix. You won't be sorry. This week, Steven wants you to listen to Doo Waps and Hooligans by Bruno Mars. Connor would like you to listen to So Far Gone by Drake. As always, thank you for listening!

In episode 63, Tubby listens to the 2009 project by Drake, "So Far Gone".
Episode Notes Welcome to "Have You Heard?" The podcast where we discuss underappreciated music from all different kinds of genres, artists and eras. I'm your host Trevor. Now, with this being the first installment of this show, I wanted to first thank you so, so much for listening. Look, I want this to be a place with good vibes where you can listen to me talk about some of my favorite music that I think deserves a little bit more recognition. Now, I never want to hold you, so there will always be a "Too Long, Didn't Listen" at the start of every episode if I'm talking about an album. But hopefully in future episodes, I'll be able to bring on artists at Northwestern or in Evanston or in Chicago just to discuss who they are, what they're about and what they're listening to. Now, if you are a musician who likes the show and might want to guest host with me, my email will be at the bottom of the audio transcript. Even if you aren't an artist and just want to give me some music recommendations or tell me why my taste is trash and why I should talk about your favorite album... It's cool, email me, let's talk about it. Alright, with all that out of the way, let's get into it. In today's episode, I’m going to be talking about Sonder Son by Brent Faiyaz. Too Long Didn't Listen? This album is an amazing interpretation of R&B that never goes over the top and never does too much. It's so genuine, and even though the instrumentals can be a little repetitive and derivative, Brent's voice carries the whole project. It's perfect for long car rides or study sessions or, to be honest, even trying to get over a breakup. My favorite songs are:“Talk 2 U”, “Gang Over Luv” and “All I Want”. So, if all you want are the highlights, go listen to those and you'll get a good idea for what this project is about ... even though you probably should listen to the whole thing if you can. So, Brent Faiyaz is a singer, songwriter and producer from Columbia, Maryland whose debut album Sonder Son came out in 2017. This album is a follow up to his first EP, AM Paradox that came out in 2016. Recently, his 2020 single "Dead Man Walking" (which is another great, great song by the way) found its way onto TikTok and has quickly become one of his most popular songs on Spotify. Okay so, the best thing about Sonder Son to me, is that it feels ... homemade, if that makes sense. In a lot of ways, that can hurt an album just because of quality or the way some of the mixes might sound, but in this case I only mean it in the best possible way. Like I mentioned in the intro, a lot of the instrumentals are really simple but the way the producer blends Brent's voice in these tracks turns them from what could be generic R&B loops into something completely unique. So take the second track, “Gang Over Luv”, which is one of the most streamed songs on the album. Without Brent’s voice, it's mostly just a simple drum loop over some bass honestly. Now, instead of adding new instruments to make the song interesting, Brent's ad libs are all over the track, bouncing around and making a somewhat familiar-sounding song feel unpredictable. There are harmonies and melodies and countermelodies that fly all around your head if you're listening on headphones. This style of production and songwriting is a major theme on this project and it just pulls it off so well. Songs like “First World Problemz” and “So Far Gone” are other good examples of this ethereal voice effect in action. Speaking of themes, we have to talk about the school references that appear time and time again on Sonder Son. Whether it's his mother scolding him for his poor grades on the opening track or the transition school bells that open track three, Brent's childhood is all over this album. It’s one of the major aspects of the record that really give it personality to me. If you're just here for singles, you can pretty much ignore those ideas, but they still serve an important role in the album's entirety. Besides his struggles in school, the next major theme is ... well, love. It's not like he's breaking any new ground with this topic, but again, it's approached in such a way that makes it feel familiar but unique. It's hard not to relate to songs like “Talk 2 U”, which captures such a universal feeling in a two-and-a-half minute time capsule. Brent brings up trust issues in tracks nine and 10, where he adds a lot to the album's strengths just with pure vocal ability. I mean, these songs are just so good because of the emotion behind the lyrics and his vocal performance. It’s fantastic, just go listen. The songs are called “Sonder Son Interlude” and “So Far Gone,” so give those a listen too if you just want to skip around and listen to the highlights. There are major musical themes that appear on Sonder Son as well. Along with the amazing ad libs, guitars of all shapes and sizes find their way onto the project at every single corner. I mean, there are reverbed guitars, distorted guitars, guitar riffs, guitar chord progressions, guitar loops ... you get the idea. It gets a bit repetitive when you’re listening to the whole album in one sitting, but it's really not an intrusive aspect of the record if you aren't listening to the whole album on repeat like I had to for this review. In the end, Sonder Son is R&B done right. It doesn't sound expensive or over-produced ... it just sounds raw and honest. It's strong but subtle, you know. In almost every song, Brent's voice is both right in front of you and all around you. There's just so much to like, and I really really hope you do. It's a vibe from start to finish that you should definitely check out whenever you get the chance. Thanks again for listening. This is Trevor Duggins for NBN Audio.

In this week's extra special, long promised episode the Washed Boys review Drakes Discography from So Far Gone all the Way up to Scorpion. Thank Them Later.
Even as its popularity grew, hip-hop was ignored by most commercial radio. DJs and artists intervened and underground mixtapes became *the* medium for distributing new music and gaining clout — But then, a raid by the FBI in Atlanta changed hip-hop distribution forever. Plus, how Drake’s So Far Gone mixtape fits into this digital evolution. Some artists and DJs mentioned in this episode: DJ Drama, HustleGRL, J. Cole, Kid Capri, DJ Doo Wop, DJ Clue.
Follow along Drake's journey from So Far Gone to Views in this mix I made in 2016. Crazy to think all of the bangers he has released since then...Should I make a part 2?
Armond & Doc are back to have another #RankTheCatalog discussion - this time about Drake, given that he just celebrated anniversaries for 'So Far Gone' and 'If You're Reading This It's Too Late'.Do you agree?

The Boys are all in attendance this episode as we discuss all things DRAKE. We spent the past couple of days revisiting his discography from So Far Gone all the way up to Scorpion and broke down how we felt about each album/song in comparison and all the things in between. We have been arguing his best albums for the longest but now we've spent an entire episode to conclude how we truly felt about them all in the new decade. We also include chops of Drake throughout the entire episode so if you are indeed not a fan of Drake...this episode is not for you.
