  • 196 - Dylan Walling

  • 195 BONUS - Sounds Welcome - Albums of the Decade

    Well, this isn’t Bit Depth. But it does include Santiago Ramones. Sounds Welcome is a podcast by Kaelan Deese where he has music, news, interviews, social justice, and thought-provoking debates. This is actually the last episode of that podcast, and it features Jackson Fritts (with a short performance from him as Chameleon Factory), Tai Phan, Kaelan Deese, and myself, Santiago Ramones. We discussed our top albums of the decade, for which we each made lists.
    A quick note about audio: there were some errors in the audio that caused random snippets of sound to be cut out, so you’ll likely hear audio dropouts at the ends of words or in the middle of sentences. I tried to clean it up as much as I could, but I can’t do much about missing sounds. Regardless, you can still pretty much understand everything, although Jackson and I had to share a microphone, so you’ll hear a lot of volume differences between us.
    Lastly, I don’t have the other guys’ lists, but here’s mine, not in order of preference, but in order of release:
    Gotye - Making Mirrors (2011)
    Björk - Biophilia (2011)
    Disasterpeace - FEZ OST (2012)
    Death Grips - The Money Store (2012)
    Woodkid - The Golden Age (2013)
    Darren Korb - Transistor: Original Soundtrack (2014)
    Modest Mouse - Strangers to Ourselves (2015)
    Son Lux - Bones (2015)
    Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool (2016)
    clipping. - Splendor & Misery (2016)
    Brand New - Science Fiction (2017)
    Everything Everything - A Fever Dream (2017)
    Moses Sumney - Aromanticism (2017)

  • REPOST: 136 - Breck McGough

    In September of last year, I had Breck McGough on my podcast. I figured I’d repost his episode with some of his music at the end to promote his Graduate Composition Recital which is tonight at 7:30pm in Radke Fine Arts Theater at UCO - 100 North University Drive, Edmond, OK 73034, Edmond, OK 73034.
    The pieces at the end are “Lullaby”, “Psychokinetoscope: Hommage a John Carpenter” and “Roses in December: In Memoriam Kathleen Rose”.
    Breck McGough is a composer and singer that I know through UCO. We’re in a trio of electronic music called Power Cycle, which includes Jonathan Edwards (Bit Depth 126). Breck and I talked about music and spirituality. You can find some of his music on his SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/breck-mcgough

  • 191 - Failing in America

    Cory and Terry come by once again and we talked about something that I’ve been wanting to talk about for a while: why are people in America so bad at failing? We get into Incels, entitlement, politics, social media, and a vast variety of things that’ll make you think about things differently. Terry is not pimping himself on social media at the moment, but you can find what Cory does through the company he works for: https://www.offgridenterprises.org/
