  • Omg a Pearl Jam podcast

    Don’t know why it never occurred to me that someone would have one. Which I found them years ago. Something made me think to check a couple weeks ago.

    When I say I was a huge PJ fan most of my life… I had a personalized license plate back in the 90’s. This is amazing. I’ve been missing so much since I stopped paying attention and this makes me feel like getting a Spin or Rolling Stone magazine again

  • A must for Peal Jam fans

    Such a great podcast for Pearl Jam fans. Jason and Paul do a great job of reviewing and analyzing the band in so many ways. I especially enjoy their Retro Reviews (I keep track of their scores and compare them to mine and my friends’) and their Playlists episode. This podcast, as well as the band itself, has helped me through tough times. Thanks Jason and Paul!!

Reece Gonzales of Identity Crisis Talks New EP, Grunge Revival & More

Authenticity and realness in music, beyond overly polished productions and manufactured personas.
Reece Gonzales of Identity Crisis Talks New EP, Grunge Revival & More
Q: Lyric first or music first?
Music first, since the emotion the music provokes determines the direction of the lyrics.
David Catching & Rancho de la Luna Recording Studio
Q: Who is one artist you'd still love to work with at Rancho, and what would you cook for them?
Brian Eno is the dream collaboration; hosting him would include preparing a risotto inspired by Anthony Bourdain, reflecting the studio's hospitality-forward culture.
David Catching & Rancho de la Luna Recording Studio
Q: Has the blurred line between work and home at Rancho ever affected a record's outcome?
Mostly positive; the relaxed, home-like environment tends to foster creativity and collaboration, with only a couple of sessions not turning out as planned due to the performers' dynamics rather than the space itself.
David Catching & Rancho de la Luna Recording Studio
Q: Do musicians need better tech, more time, or permission to fail to thrive creatively?
David Catching emphasizes that time is the most precious resource; many artists self-fund and rush albums, so giving them room to experiment and not rush the process yields better, more authentic results.
