Still Dirty...
August 29, 2011 19:54Don't be alarmed - we didn't evaporate from the face of the planet. We have relocated to a new dirtier location, further South... Right now we are reconstructing for higher-efficiency. Until next episode here are a few pictures of the chaos.
029: Nena Anderson live at the US Grant with Adrian Demain & Rob Thorsen
August 04, 2011 07:00We're getting our mobile recording set-up in gear here at Dirty Boulevard. For our first live podcast, we checked out Nena Anderson live at the Grant Grill inside the historic U.S. Grant Hotel in the Gaslamp. She's joined by Rob Thorsen on bass and Adrian Demain on guitar.

027: The Mattson 2
July 07, 2011 20:53©Andrew Paytner At long last - the The Mattson 2 podcast! Yes, I know that was redundant. And these two identical-twins could almost be the the same person. Good luck telling their voices apart during the interview. Their new CD Feeling Hands recently came out and has been featured on NPR.

down and dirty
July 01, 2011 19:39Well, there was some drama in Dirty Blvd land... Car exploded in a puff of white smoke, then the bike got a flat (making it hard to retrieve said car). A mic broke, then a bit of mixing trouble, and (believe it or not) we are a one-man operation over here, so that makes it all the more crazy. It's Friday already, but have no fear-we'll have some (back-dated) Dirty Thrusdays episodes coming your way in no-time. Happy 4th!
026: Wade Hackett
June 23, 2011 17:00Growing up on the plains of West Texas, Wade Hackett rode a longhorn cow four-miles to school every day. Through the tumbleweeds and dust occasionally he would hear the distant sound of a cowboy's guitar floating through the sweltering Texas air. The sounds of the far-away strumming touched his soul and young Mr. Hackett spent the next year shoeing horses in the nearby town until he'd saved enough coppers to buy his first guitar. Then, on one hot autumn afternoon, he forked over his earnings...

They're gearing up for the release of "In The Blood", which will be out on vinyl, CD, and MP3 next month. click for more pics The Heavy Guilt is Erik Canzona on guitar and lead vocals, Josh Ric...

May 26, 2011 13:00OK, we're back in introspective-jazz-land this week. Frame Of Reference is Doug Walker on bass, Nick Tocco on guitar, and Tim Nunnink and Peter August on saxophones (well, that's four-fifths of the group... we are minus-drums here at Dirty Blvd Recording Co.). All the members attended the jazz program at San Diego State University, but this band started developing a truly original sound during their three-year residency at South Park Bar & Grill. Tune in and hear a few tunes by Doug and Ni...

blog outage
May 13, 2011 16:57Blogger was down for almost 24 hours... suddenly it's back. You could read blogs but I was unable to post anything. Sorry for the delay with this week's episode. Great job GOOGLE! (can you hear the digital sarcasm?)

Dirty Thursdays is definitely hitting the bars tonight!** This week's dirty-episode has been in-the-making since January... we finally found time to sit down with singer-songwriter Nena Anderson - and she was even kind enough to entertain my 'professional' interviewing skills.

020: Rob Thorsen Trio
May 05, 2011 17:00We convinced 3rd time dirty-guest Rob Thorsen to come back, but this time the bass is in front; Rob's leading a trio that includes Joshua White on Fender Rhodes and Fernando Gomez on drumset. Rob is the hardest working bassist in San Diego and is first-call as a sideman in addition to leading his own groups. This trio exists only 'in-the-moment' and will be playing some originals by both Rob and Joshua. click for pics Rob also gives us the inside-track on the San Diego Double Bass Summi...

April 21, 2011 20:19The apple-tastic program known as 'Logic' has killed my mix. I am uploading a new version of Jesse LaMonica as we speak. Until then, make do with the one that is up (which somehow turned out in mono)... --- --- OK, it's fixed now... enjoy the new mix.

017: The Danny Green Trio
April 07, 2011 20:15OK, 17 is legal in some states... For our Dirty 17th, we brought back some regulars: Danny Green on fender rhodes, Julien Cantelm on drums, and first-time-guest Justin Grinnell on electric bass. Danny is a pianist and a jazz composer with so much output he recently had to find a bigger apartment to store all his arrangements.
