Episode 10: Dave Wyndorf

Dave_Wyndorf_Monster_2686878

For the tenth episode an interview from the dusty annals of time. Dave Wyndorf recorded from a phone interview almost ten years ago in Southern California. The band, Monster Magnet was out on tour in support of Monolithic Baby looks like mid-career from where we sit now. A couple of podcasts back Ryan Muldoon and I talk about this guy who we both have a certain fondness for and I’d recalled a few things from the talk but we got way more in depth than I remembered. A great time for psyche rock nerds and fun for the whole family.
(Keep listening through the interruptions it picks up again.)

cropped-revolt-dylan-sticker

Ryan Muldoon former staff writer for Punchline Magazine and current writer of the blog Revolt of The Apes . Apparently I’m on a “where are they now?” run with the Punchline crew. And why not? Ryan and I are friends but haven’t spoken much in the last 10 years. We spent a lot of time talking and barely scratched the surface. It ain’t over yet, hell naw it ain’t.(Warning:serious geeking out ahead.)

Episode 7: Pete Humes

pete of arabia

Pete Humes was Editor of Punchline and Brick weekly. He’s a writer,artist and wit. Pete made a big contribution to the cultural underpinnings of Richmond. I tend to think he helped to usher in something that seems to have grown it’s own legs in this town. I don’t know what to call that thing but it wasn’t there before Punchline. He may never have sought out the role but he played it well. Recognize.

Tommy Van Auken is a painter living here in Richmond Virginia. One of the few guys I know who has made a decent go of it for a while as an artist living the life here in the “velvet coffin”. I’ve always been impressed with the rock star way he went about being a painter very SOHO eighties long hair motorcycle rider paint jockey. Listen to us talk crap about art I’m a dilettante and a half but I think I hang ok. Check out his art:

Episode 4: Greta Brinkman

Gretacycle

Greta Brinkman is a career musician and music lover who currently enjoys a nice perch in the Richmond area having toured in major bands and traveled the world. She is playing and recording with the Doom Metal band Druglord and hosts a radio show on WRIR Richmond Independent Radio called Locals Only. Greta has been a witness to many cycles and passages in pop culture and music and has an interesting perspective on what it means to be a musician these days. This is as good of an example of conversational riffing as I could hope for and I enjoyed it, hope you do too.

Episode 3: Randy Robinson Part 1

randy hisself

Randy Robinson is lead singer of the Apocalypse Dudes and Barstool Heroes. We’ve known each other since the early 2000s but this is the first time we’ve talked since then. It’s going to be uploaded in two parts as there was much ground to be covered. We used to be in a band together, for three years about 10 years ago called the Deviltones. It was for me a phase I guess, and the last time I was in a band of any kind really. I guess it cured me. Randy has continued to perform and live the life in several bands since then look out for him in Barstool Heroes and Apocalypse Dudes. He’s the real thing

Episode 2: Kleo Latham

kleet

Kleo is one of my favorite people of all time and an inspiration of sorts. I’ve known her since she was 19 or so and always admired the way she followed her muse and did shit from a pure space of creativity. She’s intrepid bold and adventurous and lately as she’s gotten wiser more reflective and philosophical. This is a long one and it meanders quite a bit but that’s the Tantric part of it, this one gets plenty Tantric. Enjoy.

Episode 1: Matt Conner

Matt and RPG

Matt is the hair in front of the full stacks in RPG. He’s a cool guy, a wise ass and a lover of that elusive quality that makes rock and roll awesome versus shitty, which we attempt to get at. As he says in the conversation to quote the Judge in the Larry Flynt trial “I might not be able to define but I know it when I see it.” Matt is playing and writing in RPG and doing solo shows as well under his name. We talk about these things and you can find out more at:
