Looking Back: How Early Experiences Shape Your View of Music
Welcome back to Indie Rock Catalog.
Who introduced you to Nirvana? How about Sonic Youth? Pavement? For Levi, it was our guest, Sam Martin - vocalist and guitarist for indie post-rock band, 99 Spirits. There’s no holding back with Sam when it comes to sharing memories, detailing his journey as a musician, and discussing some of the philosophies that have helped (and kinda hurt) him along the way.
When we say “timing is everything,” you might start thinking of how far in advance you requested time off from work or the one that got away. With Sam’s help, we examine the really special thing of being the perfect age to appreciate the music that, in real-time, drove the evolution of your taste and the way you’re moved and inspired by music. It’s great to discover music from before your time, but there’s nothing like the connection you feel when you’re watching one of your favorite artists release what becomes their best record.
For us listeners and musicians, the unsung heroes of lots of these stories are the seemingly random people who pointed us in the direction of some new music during a formative time in our lives. It’s likely that neither of you realized the impact of a moment that started with “check this band out” or “I’m tossing these records/CD’s/tickets - do you want ‘em?” But when you look back and look inward, like we tend to do on Indie Rock Catalog, the picture is clear. These types of characters we meet on our journeys - the kid next door, a cool coworker, a new friend you met at a local rock show - can have a profound impression on the soundtrack of your life, even if you or them are just passing through.
Tune in for a conversation with a true music lover, and hear how the torch of great bands passed from Sam to Levi, and then to Alejandro.
This episode is your reminder to get to the music.
Get BACK to the music if you have to.
