March 17, 2015 Episode 108: Strangers To Ourselves - Modest Mouse
On this week’s podcast, we’re talking the return of indie-rockers Modest Mouse. For Strangers To Ourselves, their first album in eight years, Isaac Brock and crew mashed together a little of the old and a whole lot of the new to make an album that’s decidedly Modest Mouse, but is it any good? Kevin and Paul discuss the album, the band’s legacy and more, but not before diving deep in to the clusterf#@# of the Blurred lines decision handed down late last week. Hit with a $7.4 million fine for copyright infringement, Robin Thicke and Pharell Williams are on the front lines of a fight that’s about to heat up, one that threatens to cripple the way all art, not just music, is made and sold in the very near future.

PLUS! We’ve got a dark and sophisticated new track from DC collective Waltz Brigade you to put in your ears off of their recent EP Slow Mountain! Tune in and turn it up, cuz we’re running lean and mean on Episode 108 of ChunkyGlasses: The Podcast!

March 10, 2015 Episode 106: Unsung Drummers - Part 1/2
On our latest podcast we invite some of DC’s hardest working drummers to the basement for a super-sized, multi-part exploration of UNSUNG DRUMMERS. In part one of our two-part extravaganza, Ben Tufts and Mike Smirnoff join Kevin and Adam to shine a light on some drummers that you probably don't know about, but absolutely should. We're taking a look at drummers who brought something important to the table, and who should have become household names but didn't due to bad luck, bad band breakups, or having no interest whatsoever in becoming a household name. Educational, inspirational, explorational, and super-powered by rock & roll, it’s the biggest podcast we’ve done yet. Episode 106 of ChunkyGlasses: The Podcast – UNSUNG DRUMMERS!

On the just-released Pattern Matching, the sophomore album from DC-based indie-folk outfit Stranger In The Alps, main man Steve Kolowich and friends have built upon the foundation he laid with 2013’s Honey If You’re Lucky to produce a record that is as willingly playful with its songwriting and use of language as it is with the boundaries of the genre which it operates in. For our latest podcast Kevin sat down for an in-depth discussion with Steve to discuss the making of the album, the art of songwriting, the DC scene through his eyes and much, much more.
