Episode 200!!  I'm back home in the Chi and here to celebrate this milestone episode with this special three-part series of in-person interviews I conducted LIVE on the couch at Lollapalooza in Chicago's Grant Park, August 3-6.

Kicking off with Part 1 is the hyper-talented and supremely energetic duo Ned Franc and Jon Moody, the British frontmen of Franc Moody who talk to me about their high-octane sets and their origins as a hardworking DIY outfit operating out of a Tottenham warehouse near London.

Second up is festival rookie playing his first big stage outing, Pardyalone, (born Kalvin Tyler Beal), who is as genuine and empathetic as they come. His humble beginnings in Minnesota have given him a unique songwriting perspective -- Kalvin constantly seeks the Truth in all he does. He talks to me about life, performance and his recurring teeth-dreams -- and we explore together just what it means to dig deep and "get uncomfortable."

In the three-slot is Jeffrey Paradise of Poolside, who talks to me about the creative process for his upcoming album, Blame It All on Love, and how it was marred by a bizarre and tragic event. Jeff has been mixing up genres for years and he talks to me about how Poolside is a wonderful reflection of going against the grain -- in all parts of his life.

To round out this Lollapalooza episode, Festival rookie, Aidan Bissett sits down with me just after he delivers his very first festival performance ever, and the stoke is high. Just 20 years-old, Aidan possesses a maturity and self-awareness well beyond his years and I talk to him about his perceived need to "move fast," and how that is affecting him in his young life. Aidan is headed out on his first headlining tour this Fall.
