March 08, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 219 MBIf you like Charming Disaster, you may like PJ Harvey.

February 18, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 184 MBOh boy. That could be applicable to any number of situations brought about by this episode. My guest, Will Johnson, is, in my humble opinion, a behemoth of the indie folk rock scene. Partially in thanks to his collaborations with artists such as Jason Molina, Vic Chestnutt, and the Monsters of Folk crew(i.e. Connor Oberst, Jim James, M. Ward and Mike Mogis).

December 13, 2021 11:00 - 2 hours - 236 MBBEDTIMEMAGIC is an amazing two piece rock outfit from Boston, MA. They've been heralded as one of the best noise outfits to come out of the Boston area, and with good reason. To think that just two people are able to make the type of racket these guys are is impressive. Not only will they blow your head off, but they know exactly how to. So, it was my pleasure to get to know this cooky crew and discuss their latest recordings but also a record that helped them get there. Plate Six's 2005 albu...

It's my pleasure to bring to you today, the founding members and backbone of New Haven's most enthralling and energetic band, Killer Kin! With the type of raw unbridled energy they bring, it's no wonder that they'd choose an album with the same infectious, hook laden, sexual fury as this debut album by the New York Dolls.

V&V Episode 054 Mac Blackout & Brian Eno's Another Green World
October 15, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 216 MBAs an inexperienced songwriter I’ve been told once, instrumentals can be boring. But that certainly doesn’t apply to the artistry of what these next two subjects are. Mac Blackout is, in my humble opinion, a master visual and sonic artist. His latest album, Love Profess, is the basis of my statement. It’s a completely instrumental emotional rollercoaster, filled with positivity and good will while created in a time of psychic turmoil. It was a pleasure to have this opportunity to break into ...

V&V Episode 048 Gavin Castleton(Grüvis Malt, The Dear Hunter)& D'Angelo's Voodoo
June 18, 2021 10:00 - 2 hours - 228 MBI can't honestly say I've ever had many words with Gavin prior to this interview, and it makes me feel like I've been missing out all this time. This conversation was full of laughs but with Gavin still being able to speak in a clear, methodical and introspective way. And to top that off, we discuss what could very well be the most important modern album for R&B, HipHop and NeoSoul. Killer. Find all things Gavin including his latest album, "Here You Go", which this episode features 2 songs o...

If you like this album or any album by Neil Young, there's a good chance you'll like Glowing Cloud. Check it out here: https://glowingcloud.ba...

April 28, 2021 10:00 - 2 hours - 227 MBI'm very excited today to bring to you, Weasel Walter! I may have felt a little nervous going into this conversation because of what I knew of Weasel's intense thirst for musical knowledge and historical research of music that he loves. Turns out, I did alright, and the musical ideas and opinions oozed pretty simply. I really enjoyed this talk and getting to know Weasel and Mayhem a lot better. I hope you feel the same. If you might only know one or two the band Weasel's been part of please c...

April 13, 2021 10:00 - 2 hours - 281 MBDan is a talented multi-instrumentalist and head of the Wrong Whole Archival Bureau, which is putting out some great experimental, noise music. It was a pleasure getting to know him as well as the album he chose this evening, The Ex + Tom Cora's Scrabbling at the Lock.

V&V Episode 043 Brandon Perras(Death Drop Gorgeous) & Sonic Youth's Experimental Jet Set
March 30, 2021 10:00 - 2 hours - 228 MBWhat an interesting conversation to have with a talented filmmaker and musician, Brandon Perras-Sanchez. Finally an opportunity to ask the question, "Does the influence of an album have the same effect on a film maker as a music maker?" And I was delightfully surprised by the answer Brandon gave. In addition, we touched upon many subjects including but no limited to Sonic Youth's Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star, the new feature film he's working on, Saint Drogo, and what it was like r...

March 16, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 213 MBThere are few musicians that keep busy, have ridiculous discographies, or command a stage. My guest today, Rafay Rashid, does them all.

V&V Episode 041 Ashish "Hash" Vyas(Thievery Corporation, Gnarnia) and The Pop Group's Y
March 03, 2021 11:00 - 2 hours - 242 MBIt should come as no surprise that The Pop Group's 1979 debut album "Y", being an amalgam of punk funk, jazz fusions, and avant noise, would speak so syseynchtly to the heart of this episode's guest, "Hash" Vyas. Most notably being the bass player for Thievery Corporation and GoGoGo Airheart, Hash has been a huge fan of all types of music for all his life, but let's be serious, that shit's gotta have some bass! And this album has got it in spades. I went on location for this one to Hash's res...

V&V Episode 037 Matt Trap(Song Birds, Black Clouds) and Cheater Slicks' Don't Like You
January 18, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 214 MBThat title worked out better than I thought it could have. Matt Trap is the drummer for Song Birds from Providence, and just a great, hilarious dude. The style of his drummer is certainly similar to that of Dana Hatch from this band, but I think the overall attitude from this album really speaks to how Matt operates. We(I) may have had a little too much fun on this one, but what a great time. Join us as we DIG into Cheater Slicks! LISTEN! to and buy Song Birds here: https://songbirdspvd.ban...

November 23, 2020 11:20 - 1 hour - 204 MBAgain I'm dumbfounded as to how the fuck to shut up about this guy, Doug Cheatwood. He's a great friend and one of the most amazing musical minds I know. He has a massive body of work and produced 10 albums with their own full length videos in just the past 2 years alone. And has 5 more coming! This guy's the real deal and has chosen one of the most revered and challenging records of all time, Pink Floyd's The Wall. Figures.

V&V Episode 034 Alec K. Redfearn(The Eyesores, D.U.M.E.) & Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica
October 12, 2020 13:43 - 1 hour - 198 MBAt a point in this talk, I mention to my guest, Alec K Redfearn, how I don't see the connection of his personality to that of our topic, Captain Beefheart. But I neglected to mention how I can see the relation to scope and body of work and sheer beautiful freakness. From The Eyesores or The Seizures to Say You Love Satan to D.U.M.E., Alec seems to me to always be pushing limits in more ways and musically even longer than the good Captain. Alec has a new release with his new electronic music...

October 01, 2020 11:37 - 1 hour - 205 MBThis was an in-person interview outside of my studio, so there is lots of noise disturbance, but still tons of fun! Steve is a one of the greatest people to get to hang with and that's evident in this episode. We get down with Chrome's 1979 Half Machine Lip Moves while also getting into a lot of Steve's own history and his new record Majestic Flap Flap. Check these things out!

V&V Episode 032 Marissa Nadler and Leonard Cohen's Songs From a Room
September 08, 2020 10:50 - 1 hour - 129 MBDoom and gloomy, haunting, shoe-gazey, or gothic folk are ways that Marissa Nadler's music may be described. Those may very well be true, but I think there's more to her talent than that. And based on our conversation, there is a metamorphosis coming.
