2024/08/23

The original conceit of the Abandoned Albums podcast was to find albums that had been recorded but never released, in other words, abandoned. It has since morphed into so much more, but the band Shufflepuck fits perfectly into that original conceit. The band stormed through that Hollywood scene, whose ascension was fast and furious. When all the labels knocked, the band only had eyes for Interscope Records, the then-white-hot label. When Interscope knocked, Shufflepuck answered, a pairing as natural

Mapping the Sky is the brainchild of Jordin Swanson. At times a powder keg of raw guitars, at others soft and acoustic, but always a diverse blend loaded with integrity and artistry.Mapping the Sky's sound is a unique blend that draws inspiration from the likes of Kings of Leon, David Bowie, and Radiohead. If these iconic artists were to collaborate, you'd have a pretty good idea of what Mapping the Sky sounds like, creating a sense of familiarity and connection for the audience. I sat down with

2024/07/09

Professor Terry Barr and Keith got together a few weeks back to chat about how some singer/songwriters get academic treatment, like Bob Dylan and Taylor Swift (that’s real) and why some don’t… and probably won’t. For the purpose of our discussion we looked at Jeff Tweedy of Wilco and Paul Westerberg of The Replacements. Of the two, we both came to the same conclusion - Jeff will probably see an academic assessment (if he hasn’t already). Paul will be out back cleaning the erasers. Linkage Terry

David and David's album Boomtown was one of the records that made me want to start this podcast. The first time I heard "Welcome to the Boomtown," I knew I was hearing something unique. And truthfully, that album shaped my picture of Los Angeles for years. Connecting with David Baerwald and having him on the show to talk about his career is a highlight. He was very generous with his time and stories, and I'm very thankful we could capture some of his story. In addition to being an acclaimed

On this episode, we welcome Eric and Christian from Wisconsin's own The Flavor That Kills. Imagine if you took The Talking Heads, mixed in a little of The Tragically Hip, mixed in some Midwestern soul and punk rock, and blended it all together.Of course, that's an oversimplification, but that's a rough idea of what The Flavor That Kills sound like to me. The word that springs immediately to mind is eclectic. The three of us got the chance to talk about a whole bunch of things, including their

There are prisoners and then there are people who find themselves in prison.X-Raided is an artist who falls into the latter category. X-Raided was released after serving 26 years. And in the ultimate irony, he completed his sentence months before the world went into its own kind of prison - the COVID lockdown. Undeterred, he remained laser-focused on his career as an artist, using his platform to advocate for criminal justice reform, and his continued evolution as a man, mentoring younger people
