  • EP 313 - The Elder
    So this week we go in an interesting direction, KISS. Our guest this week is author and kissfaq.com/ contributor Tim McPhate. Tim and Julian Gill recently put out “Odyssey, The Definitive Examination of Music From The Elder”.
    This is a 500 page behemoth of a book and it surely lives up to the title. We also get into a bit of a Vinnie Vincent discussion as well.

  • EP 312 - Little Mountain Sound Episode 11
    This week we finally wrap up our Little Mountain Sound Studio Project. We started interviews for this project back in August of 2014.
    We ran the first part of the project back on FoM 224 back in March of 2015 and 27 months after we started this we are finally wrapping it up.
    This week our guest is producer/engineer Mike Fraser. I mean come on who else could we possibly have as the last guest for the project than the guy that was so helpful in getting us in contact with some of the amazing people from the studio.
    It’s always great to have Mike on the show as he is a wealth of information and this week is no different. Big thanks go out to Mike as this project would not have happened without his help.
