No Effects with Jesse Cohen

The Range (@therangemusic) is James Hinton and "Potential" is his new album, out March 25, 2016 on @DominoRecordco. I spoke with James on an unseasonably warm February day in his apartment in Brooklyn. We talked about his open mic days, the movie Sliver, "reverse catfishing" in order to make his album, and much much more. Fun fact: there was a gas leak in James' apartment while we recorded this episode. I helped discover it right after we finished and saved his massive apartment building from burning down. ENJOY!!

DJDS is Sam Griesemer and Jerome Potter (@djdodgerstadium). They are from LA, they have a new album called "Stand Up and Speak." This episode is a step by step guide for how to get a cool internship in the music industry and how to take that experience into work as an electronic music professional.

HNY EVERYONE Starting off 2016, my guest is Mr. Travis Egedy, aka @Pictureplane. We talk about being a history buff, being in a "conscious hip hop" group in New Mexico in the early 2000's and the golden era of the Denver DIY scene. Among MANY other things.

Claire Evans and Jona Bechtolt join me for one of my favorite conversations of 2015. We go over the many incarnations and affiliates of the band known as @YACHT, what it's like to do music and so many other things, Jona's idea for a site that reviews YACHT reviews, their TV pilot, their lapsed URLS, and finally, their amazing personal journeys.

Recorded in LA in March 2015, this is my conversation with Jake Duzsik of the band HEALTH (@healthnoise). We talk about discovering you're not punk rock, touring with his band HEALTH, taking 5 years between albums, and much much more. Lots of swearing in this one, kids.

Alan Palomo and I sit and talk for almost an hour about the Tomb Raider Soundtrack. There are also side conversations about sensory deprivation tanks on tour, growing up in Monterrey, Mexico and San Antonio, and the new @NeonIndian album "Vega Intl. Night School" (out now on @momandpopmusic).

Martin joined me in my kitchen to talk about his new album "Many Moons," his life in upstate New York, yawning on stage, and much more. PLUS a couple of very exciting bonus announcements

I try not to dwell too much on the young age of my guest this week, Garrett Borns. He records as BØRNS (@bornsmusic) and his new album "Dopamine" is out right now on Interscope. He tells me about how he went from a kid in Michigan doing online jingle contests to an international recording artist in record time.

Amanda Warner is @MNDR and on this episode she shares her story: from growing up on a farm in North Dakota to auditioning to play bass for Hole (!) to the warehouse world of Oakland, to having a number one song in Europe, to writing a thousand songs for other artists, and, if you can believe it, much much more. She is amazing, an A+ guest, I loved talking to her, and you will love listening to her, so please do that!

Recorded out in LA back in March of 2015, my guest this week is LA based slasher Jason Stewart. He's the DJ slash podcaster slash music supervisor slash "food enthusiast" known as @ThemJeans. We talk about the heyday of blog djing in the mid 2000's, DJ's complaining, and a variety of other subjects as I unload all of my DJ related material on him.
