The title this week is not mine but from the brilliant mind of Nathan Brown and I stole it quick as I could. This weeks guest is Josiah Hunter and he opens up with a live track called Compression Failure. Joe Tacke was here this week making sure Josiah sounded great and boy did he. His guitar playing is full and lush but what grabbed me was his voice on these first two tracks. Its very full with a great tone about it. I meant to tell him this but the thought was lost as we talked about Kansas City, Mountain Kid, The Royal Savages and being in a video for Mean Motor Scooter. Some of you may also know Josiah as the dude who does sound at The Grotto, and so we talk about that a bit too. The middle number is another number full of lush guitar and beautiful voice called Guide. In the second half we do Zach Libs, tell more stories and talk some about his solo stuff State of Suffering. The last track is one of his noise tracks that he improvised here. Its fantastic. This was my first time meeting Josiah and what a cool dude. If you know him I know you will miss seeing him around town. I wish I had meet him earlier. He plays his last show with Mountain Kid Friday Aug 24 at the Grotto and his going away show is Tuesday 28 at the Grotto.Check out Mountain Kids newest https://mountainkid.bandcamp.com/and there is a ton of stuff from him herehttps://stateofsuffering.bandcamp.com/

Moon Grave, no S, came by the house and we had an amazing time getting to know each other. The conversation was fun, enlightening, and thoughtful. If you have seen Moon Grave then you know they tend to rock it out big but what they did here was a little quieter and intimate. The first track is called Stop Looking at Me. We talk about the band some and get into the original band name American Holocaust and the issues it caused. We also talk about the General Lee, alternate dimensions, and philosophy/physics. The middle track is another wonderful number called We Are Different. During the break my neighbors dog "Moon" bust into the house. Appropriate. Didn't make the connection last night. We have the return of Zach Libs. I had such a blast getting to know Andrew Thomas Fuentes (singer songwriter) and Byron Andrews (The Human Machine Drum) poor Will the bassist had to work. Damn the Man! Oh and guess what Andrew went to school with our good buddy Aaron Sanchez a.k.a Fern from Off Radar. The last track is called When IPlease check them out at https://moongrave.bandcamp.com/releases

The first time I met Aaron Sanchez we ended up standing outside the Velvet Taco talking for 3 hours. This podcast isnt much different from that night. I really dig hanging out with Aaron. We had a lot of fun talking about podcast, both local and national, FW Weekly, FW Weekly Awards, Jetta and the Ghost Tree and Leon Bridges. We talk about the journey his podcasting partner William VanDolah is on and what his fill in partner Matt Cliff is up to. The show kicks off with Dead Vinyl Boldonia. I love this song even if I keep forgetting the name. The middle track is a beautiful number by a band that Matt Cliff as well as Aaron were in together called The War Age and the song is called St Louis. The middle song is an hour in and marks the first half. It's a long one and you may want to split it in two. The second half is just as fun and we continue just talking about whatever. Thats what podcasters do! We close out the show with another track off of the new compilation put out by the FW Weekly. This one is by Chingalotus and called One Red Eye. This one is long and fun ( thats what she said ) and I hope you enjoy.Make sure to like Off Radar on all the social media sites and download the latest compilation https://fortworthweekly.bandcamp.com/

Svenny Baby is back and with a brand new record. We hear a prelude from it and then the show kicks off with Gunslinger. We talk about the tracks off the album, the making of the album and the big show for the album release last week. I absolutely love these boys and always have a blast hanging out with them. We have Victor Toruno Dustin "Dutty" Johnson, Felipe Rosales, and Jonathan (not Joshua) Holder. They boys educate me about their sound and we have a great discussion about the middle track Zach Danger named after our very own Zach Zanetich. Zach has his own segment this week and we play Zach Libs! We have a lot fun and a few laughs. I think you will enjoy Svenny Baby and their new album. Follow them on twitter.com/SvennyBabyYou can see them this friday the 19 of June at Lola's Saloon. Their album is on spotify, itunes, amazon, and yada yada but you can get it for name your own price.https://svennybabymusic.bandcamp.com/The last song on the album is the last song of the show.

Well, if you ever wanted to hear 4 knuckleheads sit around and spout hot music opinions about the Fort Worth Weekly, Fort Worth Weekly Music Awards and their nomination process then this is the episode for you. Dustin Schneider from The Jerry Jonestown Massacre sits in with myself, Joe Tacke from Mean Motor Scooter and Zach Zanetich from The Phantom Sensation. We attempt to go through each category one by one and discuss the different bands. We covered all but a couple but due to time I edited out a few more. We still cover most of the categories and had a blast doing it. The opening track is from one of the nominees Bummer Vacation and their song Ghost Dad. The middle track is from another nominee Duell, Back To Drunk. The closing artist is also nominated for multiple categories Jake Paleschic Thank You For The Bad Days. This was quite a feat to take on and probably quite a feat to listen to but if you are nominated or know someone who is and curiosity gets the best of you. Here it is. Also at the top of the show we get into Panther Fest and Slide the City. So grab a beer, smoke, and a FW Weekly and follow along. Oh if you have any comments feel free to call 682-593-5586

First off I want to say that this would not have happened if it wasn't for Joe Tacke and Zach Zanetich. Big props to those boys. So yea Pop Up Fest happened in Capps Park and the 3 of us were there to document it. Join us on a journey through art, music, food and drones. Zach interviews Captain Funky,a 12 year old named Penelope and Joe interviews Russell Jack from Gollay, Troody and Hightower. I (ahem ahem) interview council woman Ann Zadeh and President of the Southhemphill Heights Neighborhood Association Paul Millender. We ran into a lot of local musicians. We talk with Joshua Irwin, Richard from Henry the Archer (with Dustin from Jerry Jonestown Massacre at his side) Tornup, Broke String Burnett and Jessica Burnett from Phantom Sensation, Rebecca Elizabeth and Zach of I Happy Am, and Kaity Roberts a wonderful 12 year old who kicked the days live music off. We didn't get to talk with James Zametz because he was running around like a mad man but this event wouldn't be if not for him. This neighborhood and dare I say city wouldn't be what it is without him. He put on a fantastic event and I hope you come along for the ride. We also talked with all the vendors.

This week on the podcast we had the lovely and talented Katie Robertson. You may know her from Vanillaface Jones, Foxtrot Uniform, Chucho, or any other number of projects she is involved in around town. She was baffled as to why I wanted her on the show but as soon as you hear her start to sing Right Arm you know exactly why. She is an amazing pianist and vocalist, she teaches the kiddos around the neighborhood, rides her bike everywhere she goes and brings a spirit of joy with her. I had a really good time talking with her about the community, music, open mic comedy at The Boiled Owl Tavern, and the animals in her wall. The middle track is a Foxtrot Uniform song called Not Alone of off Cisco and its super groovy. What a great track and Katie sounds fantastic in verse 2. We also talk about not going to Psych Fest and the loss of Jason Alfords van. Cody Soape gets mentioned as well as Vincent Neil Emerson, Benjamin Napier, Tyrel Choat, and many more. This was a blast to do. Live music its been a while but its back with a porpoise. The closing track is called Eating Crow. I really think you guys will dig this one. Thanks as always. Don't forget May 31 Pop Up Fest at Capps Park and join Katie June 3 at the Boiled Owl for her birthday bash with Botany, Secret Ghost Champion, Squanto and Sur Duda!

John Rody and Sallie Rody showed up last night on time with gifts. They brought some Kind bars that are delicious. I forgot to mention the snacks on the show as well as a bunch of other stuff. I had an FM DJ intro I was going to do, a WhiskeyBoy joke and much more, but when a Texas radio hall of famer is sitting across from you watching you do your thing, well your mind goes to mush. I think I really only asked one question. This is really a conversation between friends and these are my favorite kind of shows. I am not going to tell you what we talked about, you will have to listen. Don't be intimidated by the length (I've never said that before) this is super interesting and entertaining. When John Rody speaks you cant help but pay attention and the time flys. I will tell you it is almost entirely about the Southside Pirate. There is a lot of radio talk. Some of it is technical and some philosophical. I had so much fun doing this. This radio station is going to be something special and you are just witnessing the beginning. If you have show ideas or want to underwrite or just want to make sure you get to hear it make sure and follow the Southside Pirate on Facebook. You can stream it online at the website or you can get the tune in app and find the station there. Soon it will be broadcasting in your car on 97.5 FM. Yes,! Fort Worth is going to have their own truly local station and its very very exciting. The opening track I never mention on the podcast. ( Brain = mush) The first track you hear is Chucho called Peace Sign. This song is so rad. You can get the whole EP on bandcamp and the whole thing is really great. In the middle we take a break and get a Shower of Country Gold by locals Convo and the Cattlemen. Another truly tremendous album. Not to be out shined we close the show with one of my favorite tracks for the one and only Denver Williams called Kick that heavenly Feeling. This is from album Hood Cream also on bandcamp and it's definitely one to check out. I hope you guys enjoy this episode and support local and support the pirate with your time or money. Here are some links to follow and help out.http://www.southsidepirate.com/https://twitter.com/sallieonthegohttps://twitter.com/TheRadioPirate
