Funkytown Podcast

Joe Savage and his Student Loan Blues

It was the witching hour when Mr. Savage arrived. He worked late and we started the podcast about 1130pm Sunday night. I had a really good time with Joe. The show starts with Joes song Let your guns slip. This song is so good that I had a hard believing that anyone I come in contact with actually wrote it. Joe Savage did write it and man is it incredible. I just love that song!! Anyways Joe did something really cool called In the music room. It's a great show, local so check it out. You can find them online and on facebook. Good interview with Joe and great tunes to boot. We talk a little bit about his past and where he came from. Then when get into teaching. Joe used to teach and so we spend a little time on education, kids, art, and student loans. Then Joe bust into Student Loan Blues. This song is a Bob Dylan Dont think twice its all right kinda jam. After a couple of smokes on the porch we come back and try to lighten it up a bit and we talk about my attraction to Vincent Neil Emerson, our meeting at the Aardvark and girls, girls, girls. The podcast end sneaks up on us and Joe closes out the show with a fun song called Sauvignon Rye.http://www.reverbnation.com/joesavagesingshttp://slatersavage.bandcamp.com/http://www.inthemusicroom.com/artist-joesavage.htm

The blacker the grass, The more Phantom the Sensation

Boom! Boom! Diggity Boom! 5 Phantoms in my living room. The Phantom Sensation came by with their acoustic equipment and threw down. They played 3 songs, sink or  swim, build a fire and deadweight. Then we sit and talk for an hour. We learn about the 7 track EP Tell the World I Was a Gentleman. It's a conceptual ep with a great story. We talk about their show at the Hangman's House Of Horrors with the Royal Savages.  We talk about Sundays with the Rev with James Zamentz and Keep Fort Worth Funky. More Please James!!! We talk about the happening town of Burleson, how cool Fort Worth is (of course!) and some of our favorite bars like the Cellar. I talk about my visit to the Grotto and how non smoking bars affect the musicians and the patrons. There is so much here. I ask random questions to each member, Zach, Adam, Brandon, Jessica and Jessie and we have a lot of fun with it.  We talk about the friends of the band like Panic Volcanic, The Royal Savages, the SafeNSoundCollective, and much more.

Jack Thunder and the Road Soda

Jack Thunder (Preston Newberry) and the Road Soda (Todd Klepacki) came by and played music live from my living room. They played 3 tracks. Spy car, Eastside, and Porter Party. Then we sat and talked for an hour. We talked about the band, Robby Rux, Dreamy Soundz, Dreamy Life the new record store, Avoca Coffee, and the benefit for Matt Vickers. It was a lively conversation and a really good podcast. Its noisy again in the house. The windows open and fans on. Door slamming open and shut. However the vibe was perfect and the guest were incredible. The music will rock your socks off. https://soundcloud.com/jackthunder-theroadsodahttp://dreamysoundz.bandcamp.com/https://www.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/official-matt-Vickers-benefit-fundhttp://www.dfw.com/2014/05/12/891307/concert-review-matt-vickers-benefit.htmlAlso whatever you do, don't check out JerryJonesTownMassacre.

Live, Laugh and Love like Peter Lufkin

As the Bitch Bricks were playing a show at the Boiled Owl, I was introducing the not shoe gazey female trio to Papa Pete Peter Lufkin. We talk Bitch Bricks and other Dreamy Soundz bands. A little later I play audio from another local podcast Whiskey Boy Radio and then tell an ill advised story I heard on the Jerry Jones Town Massacre podcast involving an "incident" at Old South Pancake House. From there I play a track from a band I heard about on the JJ Town Podcast and then on Whiskey Boy Radio. The Confounded is the band and Words is the song. I was originally going to close the show with a Longshots track Mucho Mango. The music was preloaded and fires off and Peter and I roll with it and talk about our love for the song and I accidentally call Alex Zobel an egomaniac. Sorry Alex!  We also extol the greatness of the Hannah Barbarians, talk about how freaking awesome Ansley the Destroyer and Panic Volcanic are, and some of our favorite places to see shows. We talk about record store day, Prairie Fest and open streets. This episode is a lot of fun and we give a lot of love to our city, our scene and you!

Katsuk There and Back Again

If you are a fan of the ambient sounds in the podcast, well this one has them. Windows open and the wind blows through the house opening and closing doors at will, the train makes his normal timely apperance and i have a minor malfunction at the end when the song plays before I am ready for it. The podcast starts with an intro from yours truly where i test out a different mic and give a little love to whiskey boy radio and jerry jones town massacre. The podcast starts with Cut the Chord a track by Katsuk. I then talk with Daniel Katsuk about his evolution as an artist, Lord of the Rings and his newest track There and Back Again. There and Back Again is the middle track and Katsuk is trying to get his song on The Hobbit 3 soundtrack as the closing credits theme. We talk about what he has done, doing, and going to do next. Its very exciting to see someones dreams come to fruition. We also talk about elemental yoga and the full moon drum circle tues April 15th. Daniel is a super nice guy, very cool, and a real pleasure to sit and talk to. I hope you enjoy the podcast. The closing track is called Evergreen. I didnt forget to have the artist talk about the last track this week. www.katsuk.comgofundme.com/thereandbackagain

East Texas Blues with Vincent Neil Emerson

I put on my best western shirt, picked up a six pack of Rahr beer and waited for the arrival of Vincent Neil Emerson. When Vincent showed up at the house Lucky Luke McGlathery was along for the ride. With beer in hand and ashtray out the show begins. Darlin' I've been lonely is the opening song played live by Vincent. At the midway point he plays a song called East Texas Blues. The conversation contains loss and tragedy, drugs and prison, guitars and girls, his upcoming record with dreamy soundz, sweet tea, fried chicken and eating squirrel. I had so much fun with this podcast. Vincent is very cool and very very interesting. His sound is one of yesteryear and he has a way of striking a timeless chord while keeping it fresh. We plug a couple of shows at the end and we get a cameo from lucky Luke. Vincent closes the show with another great track that I didn't get the name of. FInd and friend Vincent Neil Emerson on facebook and check out his youtube videos. Dig the podcast and thank you very much for sharing this crazy cool podcast experience with me.
