This is the first time I've recorded the podcast while simultaneously streaming on Blast Radio and it was... well, a blast!  If you haven't checked out the Blast Radio app, I highly recommend it (go here) and check out all the musicians streaming live stuff, DJ sets, and more.  Really fun!

In this episode we listen to a cover of "A Real Hero" that I did a while back, and also an experiment/sketch primarily to mess with drum machines and FX pedals.  Fernet Branca makes another appearance.

Oh, and I'm playing a show at the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel this coming Thursday (11/18) with Jessica Risker.  If you're in Chicago I recommend checking it out.

Visit joshuawentz.com/podcast for all the links and such.

Today we'll A/B two versions of the same song, drink an easy drink, and give expert advice to top-selling recording artists who desperately need to hear what someone else has to say.

The new home of the show: joshuawentz.com/podcast

Today we listen to a piece of music I don't even remember recording, but then we figure out why I recorded it and listen to THAT piece of music.  We also talk about potato salad, and how we choose to support artists.

At last, the story of a cosmic murder crow can be told!

We round out the Spooky Times with a piece from the BoHo production of "Scotland Road", as well as Parts 2 and 3 of CORVUS III.  Some links for you:

If you want to tell me what to make with Fernet Branca, leave me a message on the show home page!

Have a Happy Halloween!

Talk about making soundtrack music. Trying to recall a symphonic fairy tale. Mistaking architects for chancellors.  And so much more!

Oh, and there is a saw blade, but it doesn't end up in anyone's face.

It's been haunting us for centuries!  Hey, what up?  Today we're talking about being forced to do nothing, drunken masters, going back through the digital graveyard/landfill, and writing music for a murder mystery.

Albums mentioned:

Introspection by Tony Romera

Do you like spooky things?  I don't, really.  But sometimes I do them, to varying degrees.  This episode is a solid 2 on the Spooky Scale, even if we do talk about grim reapers.  We also talk about Cloudlifters, cold brew, and disturbing YouTube commercials.

In this episode I mention a science fiction TV show, a beer cocktail, and more songs about birds.  Artemis the kitty visits us, and I go on about a Mike Oldfield project, and musical collaboration.  I will play you two versions of the same song, and Kanye fans might be mildly interested in this. Kanye himself might be interested in the podcast I mention at the end of the episode.

This episode has its own artwork, can you see it?  It's from (in my opinion) the best SF and fantasy cover illustrator of all time and is super relevant if you know what you're looking at.

In this episode I talk about the path to creating a new song, drink tequila, and admit I don't know specific dance moves.  To get a free download of the song in today's episode, visit joshuawentz.bandcamp.com

Taking a spur of the moment idea and turning it into something more finished.  Drinking a Suze & Tonic.  Artemis joins us again - at this point she may end up having co-host status.
