S3E134 - Skip Spence "Oar" - with Eric Drew Feldman

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2020/09/26

We are very pleased this week to welcome Eric Drew Feldman – bass, keyboards, producer, collaborator – with Captain Beefheart, PJ Harvey, The Residents, Snakefinger, Pere Ubu, The Pixies, Frank Black, et. al. His choice of Skip Spence's 1969 solo masterpiece, "Oar," leads us down a crooked path, littered with anecdotes, illuminations, insights, and of course to Skip's own not insignificant travails as a musician and as a person. Thanks to Mark Guerita of That Facebook Group Got Me High for arranging

BLUR “Modern Life is Rubbish” with special guest Peter Norris This week’s guest, musician Peter Norris - also the man simultaneously in charge Scottish independence AND the UK's nuclear weapons to hear him tell it - joined us all the way from Glasgow, Scotland (well...near Glasgow) to discuss a record near and dear to him: “Modern Life is Rubbish” by Britpop titans Blur. Returning from an unsuccessful US tour and under threat of being dropped by their label, singer Damon Albarn and company reached

2020/09/12

That Record Got Me High welcomes local guitarist and polymath Buffalo Brown, whose band Cog Nomen made some of the best music South Florida heard in the last ten years, along with his cohort Ulysses Perez. Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino is a departure for Arctic Monkeys, from the earth to the moon, literally. A blend of modern adult angst and sweeping retro-futuristic soundtracks, it will surprise you as much as it did us. Take your seat and buckle up, it's time for lift off.

2020/09/05

Associates – Fourth Drawer Down Returning guest, composer/producer/singer Tom Smith (To Live and Shave In L.A., Peach of Immortality) brings in a band that managed to escape both Rob & Barry’s radar, the darkly expansive and criminally overlooked (at least in the US) Scottish post-punk-pop band Associates. This amazing collection of singles released in 1980/81 defies categorization – but Berlin-era Bowie and mid-70s Roxy Music is a fair comparison. Main men Billy Mackenzie and Alan Rankine combine

Taylor Swift – Folklore *Bonus Episode* In this special bonus episode, Rob’s daughters Cori & Sam Elba join us to discuss a record that appeared out of nowhere, grabbed them both immediately and has been garnering rave reviews: “Folklore” by Taylor Swift. The surprisingly adult sounding record, written and recorded in isolation by Swift in collaboration with producers Jack Antonoff and The National's Aaron Dessner, is filled with cinematic stories of life, love and loss. They were very convincing in

2020/08/29

This week’s guest, Minneapolis singer/songwriter Matt Wilson (Trip Shakespeare, The Twilight Hours), brought us a record that he discovered late and became obsessed with despite himself: Yes’ prog-rock breakthrough “Fragile”.  On paper it’s not obvious why this dense, meticulously played collection of “song-suites” would appeal to his more indie-pop sensibilities, but appeal it did and the three of us dive headfirst into the musical maelstrom that is this record. “Dream on onto the Heart of the

The Go-Go’s “Beauty and the Beat” It was one of the most successful debut records of all time that happened to be by THE most successful female rock band of all time, but perhaps most important to our guest, musician/artist Beatriz Monteavaro (Holly Hunt, Saavik), it rocked! Betty joined Rob and Barry for a spirited conversation of the power-pop goodness that has been described as one of the cornerstone albums of American new wave, “Beauty and the Beat” by The Go-Go’s.

2020/08/15

Chris White makes his second appearance on That Record Got Me High, bringing us the cathartic 1990 release by The Flaming Lips. "In A Priest Driven Ambulance," where, among other things Wayne tries to come to terms with something he and his bandmates witnessed while on a deserted highway. It wasn't a UFO. The album is a beautiful, scorching ride. "...a Cadillac, it pulled out of the graveyard. Pulled up to me, all they said, "Get in" (Get in)...

Panic! At The Disco - Death of a Bachelor Barry & Rob go WAY out of their comfort zones this week with returning guest Erin Lee (104.3 The Shark), as she brings in a record near-and-dear to her heart. While Panic! At The Disco’s #1 selling “Death of a Bachelor” managed to escape our radar – it’s admittedly not our usual cup of tea - there’s no denying leader Brendon Urie’s outsize talent, and the album’s (AND Erin’s) infectious positivity somewhat softened our cold, hard souls and made for a

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2020/08/01

This week’s guest Mark Williams (The Jacobites) calls in from the UK to discuss Britain’s punk/goth titans The Damned and their fourth release, “The Black Album”.  Dark, tuneful and oh-so-eclectic, this 1980 double record had a huge impact on SO many post-punk and goth bands that followed, and although they are often considered also-rans in the Punk Rock triumvirate of The Ramones/The Sex Pistols/The Clash, we all agreed The Damned have more-than-earned a seat at the grownups table.

Through the magic of the digital communication Barry and Rob once again reach across the pond to the UK for a spirited and surprisingly sober conversation with a fan of the show. When then-teenager Gary Pennington first heard The Teardrop Explodes 1980 debut “Kilimanjaro” he was blown away by their modern, neo-psychedelic sound. Leader and main songwriter Julian Cope has had quite a career since, both as a solo artist and author/cultural commentator, but it all began here…

That Record Got Me High were very fortunate this week to have a guest who has experienced the music from a close proximity to the source. Touch guitarist Markus Reuter (centrozoon, Europa String Choir, Tuner, Stick Men, The Crimson ProjeKct, et. al)joined us by phone from Germany to "preach the gospel" about King Crimson's "Discipline," a life-changing work for Markus, and Barry as well. It remains consistent.

For many, Nico’s harrowing second solo record “The Marble Index” is NOT an easy listen. This week’s guest Katie Jane Garside (Daisy Chainsaw, Queenadreena, Ruby Throat, Liar, Flower) called in from across the pond to help us uncover the stark, poetic beauty of a record many now call her defining avant-garde masterpiece. Before Siouxsie Sioux, before Björk, before PJ Harvey…there was Nico.

2020/07/04

Counter culture icon and Editor of Dangerous Minds (www.dangerousminds.net), Richard Metzger, dove into the psychedelic deep end of the pool to discuss a record that STILL gets him high: Jefferson Airplane’s darker, heavier follow-up to Surrealistic Pillow, “After Bathing at Baxter’s”. Coffee was consumed, minds were expanded, and by the end the Summer of Love felt more like a hazy hangover. Support Rob and Barry, and That Record Got Me High at https://www.patreon.com/join/TRGMH

This week’s guest, guitarist Russell Mofsky, is a bit of a musical enigma. Co-founder of beloved South Florida punk band Quit and leader/creator of Surf/Lounge/Noir combo Gold Dust Lounge, Russel is a music-school geek who thinks like a poet. It’s only fitting they he chose to discuss the dark, foreboding debut release by Canadian post-rock collective Godspeed You! Black Emperor, “F#A#∞” We do our best to dig into this expansive “soundtrack to the apocalypse”, and the episode ends with an improvised

We sat down with Nice Guy/Guitar God Juan Montoya (Moon Destroys, MonstrO, Torche, Killer Be Killed) to discuss a record that kept his teenage self up at night, Van Halen’s 1981 release “Fair Warning”. Widely considered their “darkest” record, it’s the sound of a band breaking apart at the seams, as guitar virtuoso and control-freak Eddie Van Halen attempts to wrestle his namesake band from the clutches of David Lee life-of-the-party Roth. Lord, strike that poor boy down…

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2020/05/30

The Ramones fourth album was supposed to be the one that brought them mainstream success - stadium tours, luxury condos, champagne and limousines. Guess what happened? It didn't sell as well as Rocket To Russia, despite the presence of the obvious(?) radio hit "I Wanna Be Sedated," and the upgraded rhythmic pulse provided by new addition Marky Ramone. Rob, Barry and Is This Tomorrow's Woody Compton take the QM18 bus from midtown to Forest Hills, Queens on the Road To Ruin.
