  • Great work!

    Keith, you really have a skill for this. I grew up early to mid 90s in the hard-core scene going to House shows constantly, sometimes three a week. Even though I moved into a different chapter of my life I still listen all the time to all those bands. I love the fact that your interview styles allow all these artists to open up in the way they do. Great work.

    PS, skateboarding was my other love. Not sure if you’ve ever watched the nine club, but in some ways, it’s a similar format to what you’r... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 353: Jake Letizia of New Forms
Q: What was it like recording to tape and how did that influence the sound?
Recording to tape meant fewer overdubs and more of a 'play it live' energy. We still had some fixes, but the process required careful, deliberate takes and a willingness to accept the first instinct of the performance, which gave the record a raw, cohesive feel.
Episode 353: Jake Letizia of New Forms
Q: When did you join New Forms and how did that affect the recording of As Dust Collects?
I joined in 2022 after knowing Chris from the scene; the band already had a chunk of the record fleshed out, and I added textures and melodic background parts. We ended up finishing the record within about five months of me joining, recording mostly live with some overdubs later.
Episode 350: Dark Days Bright Nights Fest w/ Mike Taylor (PG. 99) and Paul H. (Persistent Vision Records)
Q: What were the biggest challenges in booking and curating this year's lineup?
The biggest challenges were securing a diverse, high-quality lineup within a three-day window, navigating scheduling and agent negotiations, and balancing old favorites with new or reunion acts while maintaining budgetary realities.
Episode 350: Dark Days Bright Nights Fest w/ Mike Taylor (PG. 99) and Paul H. (Persistent Vision Records)
Q: Why choose Studio 23 as the venue, and is it the long-term home for the festival?
Studio 23 represents the DIY spirit, community focus, and appropriate scale; it matches the vibe better than the previous Broadbury setup, and it feels like a sustainable home for the festival going forward.
Episode 350: Dark Days Bright Nights Fest w/ Mike Taylor (PG. 99) and Paul H. (Persistent Vision Records)
Q: How did you meet and start collaborating on this project?
We started collaborating after reconnecting through Page 99 reissues and band connections, deciding to team up on something bigger and more community-centered, which became the festival idea.
