Matt Valentine Returns

 

Greetings Dead Freaks!

We're back again for a new year with a special episode that features the return of Matt Valentine (Wet Tuna, MV & EE) to the podcast. We get kind of out there on this long chat but, along the way, we talk about long form music as a practice, the fiddlyness of envelope filters, and then zoom in on the upcoming Wet Tuna/Dunza split 7" release. Lastly we talk about the one hundred minute mix of MV's music that  fills out the rest of this episode. Tune in for the rap, stay for the ride.

You can get "In The Running 3, Wet Tuna/Dunza" split 7" from I Heart Noise via bandcamp. Head over to IHeartNoise.Bandcamp.com to pre-order yours today. There's also a cool trailer to watch when you're there!

Thanks to James Toth for popping in with some comments for this episode. 

Thanks also to Matt Valentine, for not only being my guest  but for asking me to make this mix and share it with all of you.

You can keep up with Matt's releases and shows and whatnot via his pair of blogs: MVandEE.blogspot and WetTuna.blogspot. Of course, you should also follow his bandcamp pages for MV & EE and Wet Tuna. The latter is where you'll find the Longform Editions but both have a wealth of music to discover. Dig in.

James Toth

 

Greetings Dead Freaks!

James Toth joins me again (his previous visit was in episode 30) to discuss his new album "James & The Giants". We dig into songwriting, improvisation, touring, and more. We go pretty deep and then wrap with some listening recommendations followed by a taste of the album before I spin a nice mix of Grateful Dead.

You can find "James & The Giants", which will be released on June 30 by Kill Rock Stars, via Bandcamp (of course) at WoodenWand.bandcamp.com. It is available digitally as well as on LP.

European listeners should check out the One Eleven Heavy tourdates over at One Eleven Heavy's website.

Nick Mitchell Maiato

 Greetings Dead Freaks!

On this episode I welcome back Nick Mitchell Maiato. You may know him as one of the guitarists & songwriters from One Eleven Heavy but this go-round he's here to talk about his upcoming solo album, Pino Carrasco. A lot has gone down since we spoke for episode 30. He and I chat about recording an album at home during lockdown in Spain, some of the local influences he's picked up and, of course, the Grateful Dead. 

You can find Pino Carrasco both in digital and LP formats on Bandcamp at https://wasistdas.bandcamp.com/album/pino-carrasco. Pre-Order now to have it when it comes out on October 2. 

Also in this episode, you can hear a cut from an upcoming release from Nick's One Eleven Heavy bandmate, James Toth. James has a pair of releases coming out on this upcoming Bandcamp Friday, September 4. You'll be able to find them at https://woodenwand.bandcamp.com.
