We get high-vallewton* with Tim Quirk, longtime cinephile and frontman of one of The Pink Smoke's favorite bands, Too Much Joy. At the height of the pandemic, Quirk initiated a binge of great movies that led him to Val Lewton's legendary run of low-budget horror films produced for RKO Pictures in the 1940's. Quirk was captivated by these deep philosophical explorations of darkness and isolation, which directly inspired songs on the latest Too Much Joy albums, Mistakes Were Made and All These Fucking Feelings. Focusing on The Seventh Victim and I Walked with a Zombie (both released in 1943), we tap into Tim's enthusiasm for the economical creepiness, profound purple dialogue and "the glitter of putrescence" that preoccupies those who inhabit the shadows of Lewton's screen. Are they the real monsters? Do we as a society have a collective death wish? Are these complex explorations of loneliness, fear and self-destruction even really horror movies? However you define them, there's no question that Lewton's films are unlike anything else. * Like, highfalutin.** ** We would at least task any other lyricists inspired by these movies to write a song that rhymes "highfalutin" with "Val Lewton."

Tim Quirk is the lead singer of Too Much Joy - a darling of indie/alternative radio in the 90s - which has just reunited to make their first album after 25 years, Mistakes Were Made. Tim is also a pioneer in the music tech circles - first with Listen.com's Rhapsody, and later Real Player, Google Play and now Zedge. We talk about the new album, the old days of getting arrested playing 2 Live Crew songs in Florida, free speech in music, and what it takes for artists to make money in today's music environment.
He wrote a song about them, his band went on tour with them, so it was only fitting that this week’s guest Tim Quirk (Too Much Joy) brought us “The Mekons Rock ‘n’ Roll” by University of Leeds art students-cum-enduring post-punk stalwarts the Mekons. This deeply meta record both celebrates and excoriates the power of rock music, and their schizophrenic blend of joyful noise and alt-country tunefulness is loud, fast and perfectly imperfect. Just as great rock ‘n’ roll should be! Support Rob and Barry on their crusade to give voice to every opinion they've ever had at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/TRGMH/
In lieu of an "outtakes" episode this week, we have a full-length interview with the band. Three fourths of it, anyway. Tim Quirk, Sandy Smallens, and Jay Blumenfield sat down for an interview with Jon & Harrison. Tommy Vinton couldn't make it, but Jay did a great Tommy impression! We dicsuss their connection to Ohio, the band's influence on the funny, sarcastic pop punk movement that followed them, the transition from being in a rock band to the business world, the bands that influenced them the most, and their infamous Miami arrest on obscenity charges for playing 2 Live Crew songs. We also gave each of them an entry into our Request Lottery! It was a fun-filled hour of discussion and reminiscences, so come join us and let us know what you think.

For our sixth episode, Jon brings for consideration Too Much Joy, an early and relatively obscure influence for a lot of cheeky pop-punk bands, and their 1991 major-label debut Cereal Killers. Over the course of our hour-long discussion, we talk about.... The surprising saga of how Newt Gingrich came to be a Too Much Joy fan... and then had to disavow them Harrison's total shock at hearing KRS-One do a guest verse The balance of humor and poignancy; how Too Much Joy recorded songs that were funny and embraced humor without being "a comedy band." The Abbott & Costello routine that inspired "Susquehanna Hat Company"... and why Jon might have ruined the song by discussing it The numerous ways that Too Much Joy is able to "have it both ways" in their songwriting The impressively strange angles of some of these song lyrics What's up with Ohio? How the band's embrace of artifice and "fakeness" clashed against a genre that was beginning to crave "authenticity" in its performers Jon and Harrison reveal their Key Tracks The debut of our PLAY DISC Request Lottery!

On Pierre Bourdieu's Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgment of Taste (1979), introduction, ch 1 through p. 63, conclusion, and postscript. How do our tastes in music, art, and everything else reflect our social position? This philosophically trained sociologist administered a few detailed questionnaires in 1960s France and used the resulting differences in what people in different classes preferred and how they talked about these preferences to theorize about the role that taste plays in our social games. Featuring guest Tim Quirk of Too Much Joy and recent guest on Mark's Nakedly Examined Music podcast #8. End song: "When She Took Off Her Shirt" from Tim's band Wonderlick's Topless At The Arco Arena (2005).

In this episode of the Music Biz Podcast we talk with Tim Quirk and Bryan Calhoun the founders of Freeform, a new app development platform for artists. Tim Quirk previously worked at Google Play as head of programming, and was an executive at Rhapsody. Bryan Calhoun previously worked at Sound Exchange as the VP of New Media and External Affairs, as well as numerous positions at various record labels. In this episode we talk about the Freeform platform, how artists can use an app to connect with fans, and how artists can make money while giving their music to fans for free.
Episode #23: Subscribers pay about $10 a month for most streaming services -- with that kind of cash, shouldn't musicians be making more from these platforms? For their short history, music streaming services have operated by putting all of their subscription revenue into one big pool. The pool is then divided by the total number of plays — this is called the pro rata method. Some people believe that this system is ripping customers off. Why shouldn't your money go directly to the artists you're listening to rather than into the big pool? Today on The Future of What, we talk to two of the people championing a new way of streaming called subscriber share, Sharky Laguana and Dick Huey. We also talk with Tim Quirk, formerly of Google Play, who argues against subscriber share.

Johnny Dam joins us again, this time to inaugurate the new studio. And Rob's recent venture into cautious optimism seems to be paying off, if recent setbacks for Rupert Murdoch and The Black-eyed Peas are any indication.
