A very deep, and enigmatic singer, Lily DeTaeye has been carving out her piece of the music industry with some very distinctive folkish sound songs, then turned "Dream Pop" as of late. A transplant from Des Moines Iowa to New York City, she is still an ambassador for the music scene in the midwest.

She has just released a few singles prepping for the live album at Iowa PBS studio 3. (Link will be below).

She is a prolific songwriter in her own right, taking on the "one song a day" challenge every November, which makes her love, and dread the month, almost as much as I do.

We discussed her lyrics, where they came from, or didn't cause many she can't remember. Working in a music hall that touring artists would rather not be there, also appears in her songs. No subject is taboo for her, just which ones find themselves into her music we ger to hear is the question.

P.I.N.E.S. is the new project of Josh Hight, a motorcity born musician, who conducted this interview late night from his home near Brighton England. He was previously in the early 2000's post punk band "The Detachment Project", which showcased his musical prowess, just impressive there.

They have just released a very moving ethereal EP called "In His Wake", just 4 songs that have a similar undercurrent to them, but each song takes you from an ambient sound of the PNW, to the Fjords of Norway, somehow. He used some Brian Eno in there of silence as an instrument. We even sort of geeked out about that "Absence" of sound loaded up into the tracks. That is enough of a reason to listen to this EP.

He worked with Richard Norris of the 90s electronica band "The Grid", which I was already a fan of, and heard some of it this one.

The subject matter is dark, but easily hits you where you are supposed to feel it. More to come from this project, as they are in process of making more music at the time of reading this.

Jah Wobble is the original bassist for P.I.L. and has played in so many projects since then, you have probably heard him on some album on bass, not knowing it was him.

He was given his name by Sid Vicious, and it stuck. One of the longest lasting punk artists who has gone into the world music genre, he has such trademark bass lines you can tell any of his band's "Deep Space" or "Invaders Of The Heart" or even on Sinead O'Connor's best selling album.

Wobble has just released another solo album called "Jah Wobble Dub Volume 1", where he tells some stories without words, but so much feeling, a true crafts man.

We talked about his music over the last 38 years since I discovered his work with The Edge from U2 in late 1987. He has some great stories to tell I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.

Alice Cooper, Slash, Gene Simmons, Rob Halford, Sammy Hagar, Anne Wilson, Stephen Tyler, Roger Daltrey, .... Imagine being in a band with any of them, now that is actually a reality. David Fishof is the mastermind of making these dreams come true. "Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp" , or just "Rock Camp" is the opportunity for people to go and engage in a learning workshop with the industry's finest performers. This isn't American Idol, or Britan's Got Talent, this is people busting out the guitar and playing along with the guys in KISS, or Pink Floyd. According to David Fishof, Rock and Roll Dreams do come true. The documentary film "Rock Camp" just recently released covers all of this, and is a very eye opening experience into seeing how these "Legends" can sit down with a normal guy, write a song together, and do something magical. It was a great movie, Rock on everyone.

I have been a sucker for weird "World Music" the clashing of cultural sounds, and finding ways to weave the spirited folk music of people into completely different culture's music. When it is done right, there is something absolutely wonderful that comes from it, where the music takes you where it want's to go.

I got to interview Charlie and John of Tian Qyiy, and that is exactly what I found with their music. Imagine "Dub" reggae bass, of their father Jah Wobble, with some Chinese/Mongolian traditional music, and a bit of Irish ethereal music, just for good measure.

The trip this will take you on is unmistakably powerful, and takes you on a lot of turns.

Had a surprise visit in the middle of the interview, and we laughed at how their music was NOT to be for the mainstream.

Here is their catalog, it will blow your mind

Veteran rock journalist, and biopic author Marc Shaprio has written 90+ books about musicans, actors, and even a couple sci fi comic books with Julie Newmar.I have read plenty about The Beatles, I know people who were there, and told me stories I had never heard from any other source. Well, this time Marc Shapiro lays out with incredible detail a chronological story of the lives of The Beatles, by telling the stories about their wives. I wanted to get to the bottom of several myths, and legends. This book does that in a historical textbook almost. We covered a lot of the book, and what happened in his research. Tune in any and all Beatles fans. #marcshapiro #thebeatles #rockbiographies #paulmccartney #johnlennon #cynthialennon #georgeharrison #ringostar #yokoono #oliviaarias #heathermills #nancyshevell #beatlemania #maureenstarkey #pattyboyd #gonzojournalism #gonzomusicjournalism #lindaeastman #ericclapton

Ty Herndon is the first openly gay country music singer. I met him at Loveloud in 2019, and we have been friends ever since.

He just sunsetted his passion project "Love and Acceptance" which was a music festival in Nashville celebrating the LGBTQ community in a city that is not as friendly to the cause as others. He explains why in this interview, and I had to edit out the "Top Secret" plans he has moving forward.

Current project is an album of his greatest hits, as duets with so many other great artists.

Between interviews, random texts and phone calls, we have a great unprofessional friendship, and both of us had our ADHD going full speed, we went off topic so many times, it was just fun. (I edited out us talking recipes, etc)

Dagger Polyester (they / them) is a non binary performance artist from Los Angeles, that covers subject matter to make you think.

Having just finished an album "Perversion for Profit" we covered the subjects of shooting on film, the aesthetic of it, and how so much DIY can make the video something spectacular, then the subject is even much darker, it will make you think.

We covered the barbaric practice of "Conversion Therapy" and how it is rearing it's ugly head again in our society.

All of that in 25 minutes of conversation .
