California winemaker Jeff Cohn sits down with Anthony at the Vintage House in Napa to discuss his career in wine and two of his favorite albums, Steely Dan's Aja and Amy Winehouse's Back to Black, paired with Jeff's 2016 Domaine De Chirats Syrah (a collaboration with Rhone Valley winemaker Yves Cuilleron) and his 2016 Marsanne. Winyl wine expert Kyle Meyer of Wine Exchange gives some background on Jeff's contribution to California wine history as well as his take on the pairings.  Recorded during the 2018 harvest season, Jeff discusses the winemaker's life during this critical time, as well as his unlikely path from a job on a Caribbean cruise ship to a career in California wine. We learn that he and Yves Cuilleron might be perfectionists on par with Donald Fagen and Walter Becker and that Marsanne is the only wine as mesmerizing and electrifying as Amy Winehouse's singular voice. Also, since life is short, Jeff doesn't think you should wait to drink your good wine. Don't worry, they'll make more.     

As we wind down 2018, the boys are gettin' nostalgic with an album often cited as one of the greats amongst audiophile dads: Steely Dan's "Aja" from 1977. And we're thinking about all the great things dad has done for us; introducing us to the Dan, taking us on trips to faraway lands (in Vermont), and even Biff's weird indentured servitude. We're joined by the great wizard behind Boston synth-pop outfit Telelectrix Steve Borek, who prepared for this episode by A/Bing his two vinyl copies of Aja to compare the noise floor. Dear god we're all nerds.

In Episode 10, we are joined by artist, writer, and director, Michael Lee Nirenberg. With a massive archive of stunning visual art as well as a number of brilliant short films over the past decade and a half, he is perhaps best known for his much-acclaimed 2014 documentary, BACK ISSUES: THE HUSTLER MAGAZINE STORY. https://www.amazon.com/Back-Issues-Hu... Never one to champion the mainstream, Nirenberg's current Huffington Post column serves as a constant dialogue of ideas with those who have pushed societal, musical, technological, literary, and artistic boundaries, often from the farthest edges of society, yet remain culturally relevant and significant. In this 80-minute discussion, Nirenberg sits down with us to talk about the current state of rock and roll, punk, post-punk, Brett Smiley, Kate Bush, Bob Dylan, Kurt Vonnegut, Rap, Hip Hop, Eminem's "Campaign Speech," the irrelevance of music criticism, the 1986 documentary Heavy Metal Parking Lot, Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum, and a whole lot more. We also discuss favorite bands, guitarists, vocalists, as well as pit David Bowie's LOW and HEROES and Steely Dan's AJA and THE ROYAL SCAM against each other in a new Rock Under Fire segment called Gun To The Head. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/mi...

As a child living in New York City,  Al Schmitt would catch the subway on weekends to spend the day at his uncle's recording studio, observing different engineering techniques. At 19, Schmitt began working with Tom Dowd at Apex Studios in New York City. He worked as an independant engineer at Atlantic Records and Prestige Records, and after moving to California, he started working at Radio Recorders.

With an unparalleled 24 (twenty-four) Grammy Awards for engineering, Schmitt epitomizes great recording through decades of technological change. The legendary and world-renowned recording engineer received a Grammy in 2002 for Diana Krall's “The Look of Love.” Schmitt, who has worked with Krall on her past five albums. Up one aisle you’ll find Frank Sinatra, Henry Mancini, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, and Miles Davis; up another you’ll bump into Jefferson Airplane, Jackson Browne, Neil Young, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers and Steely Dan. Round a corner and you’ll encounter Barbra Streisand, Natalie Cole, Madonna, and Quincy Jones mingling with Michael Jackson, Diana Krall, Celine Dion, Paul McCartney, and Michael Buble. Schmitt captured his first Grammy for Best Engineered recording in 1962 for Henry Mancini's "Hatari". Nine subsequent Grammy's in the same category stretched through the decades: 1976: George Benson's "Breezin'", 1977: Steely Dan's "Aja", 1978: Steely Dan's "FM", 1982: Toto's "Toto IV", 1991: Natalie Cole's "Unforgettable," 1996: Quincy Jones' "Q's Jook Joint," Diana Krall's "When I Look In Your Eyes," and two Latin Grammys with Luis Miguel.Al Schmitt's celebrated engineering and mixing skills are showcased on over 150 gold and platinum albums.
