  • #7 - “The Golden Goose” - Chris Okawa
    He was voted “Most Likely to be on the Disney Channel”. His Middle-Earth Dwarf songs have inspired soldiers before they go upstairs to battle onstage. He’s hunted zombies using just his vocal chords. He is “The Golden Goose,” but on this week’s episode, everyone else will come to know him by his alter-voiceover-ego, Chris Okawa! Grab a couple of Dive Bar Sours and hang out in the S.A lounge as the three guys talk about Chris’ playlist, featuring Hot Hot Heat, Regina Spektor, The High Kings, The Beatles, The Pixies and more. Our guest discusses his musical upbringing through high school and college, David remarks on the party popularity of Blackbird vs. Yesterday, and the boys pay homage to Randy Newman in trivia. Be sure to also check out Chris in his upcoming voice acting projects, including the highly anticipated remake of “House of the Dead!”

  • #6 - “The Art of Aggressively Cool” - Vince Colaianni
    You can’t always just start at an 11. Sometimes, you have to go on a journey to find the next heavier sound, one artist at a time. We couldn’t think of anyone better to guide us on this path than one of the original Spiral Architect co-hosts and this week’s guest, Vince Colaianni! Grab a brew and hang out with the trio of Spiral Architects in the old studio as they talk Nirvana, Hour of the Wolf, Henry Rollins, Austrian Death Machine and more! Vince talks about being a Prescott mosh pit Avenger, James muses on “Margaritaville”, and Dave pays his respects to Schwarzenegger in a tasteful lightening round. The trio breaks down a difficulty of sharing appreciation for classics, the unknown beauty of having an album just for yourself, and Vince expands on the musical journey he’s currently sharing with his newborn son. [This episode is also brought to you by the Moshpitters Association of America - “Please Mosh Responsibly.”]

  • #5 - “thank u, places” - Nicole Amaral
    The hosts of this show may seem like they know what they’re doing, but behind the scenes, it’s actually pure anarchy, shouting matches and unmitigated chaos! Luckily, they know just the person who can help calm that chaos and bring order to the podcast: this week’s guest and Stage Manager Supreme, Nicole Amaral! Hang out with David, James and Nicole on their hour-lunch as they talk James Bay, Queen, Tori Kelly, Ariana Grande, É O Tchan and more! All three struggle with remembering how to say Lake Street Dive, David super biffs it on pronunciation and James questions the possibility of dethroning Nicole’s favorite album. There may also be an unforgiving Super Bowl Halftime Show trivia. Finally, If you ever have a hard time opening an overly carbonated seltzer, just follow Nicole’s immortal advice - “Just twist the cap slowly”. Thanks Nicole, very cool!

  • #4 - “Silver Pros and Cold Cons” - Samantha Colaianni
    “She loves this part...she loves this part not...she loves this song...she loves this song not. O’er time, many petals have fallen from the flowers of music picked and played, but to our guest, some artists will always be in full bloom.”
    ...okay listen, poetry ain’t your hosts’ strong suit. Luckily, they have someone with a strong writing skill to give them a hand - this episode’s guest, Samantha Colaianni!
    This week, chill out with David, James and Sam on the music festival grass as they talk about the world of her playlist. You’ll hear AFI, My Chemical Romance, Twenty One Pilots, Hollywood Undead, and much more! Samantha lends a hand in understanding the emotionality of Emo music, discusses a pro/con-list approach to falling in love with an artist, and trains listeners on how to flex on everyone with your one marathon medal. Word of advice - don’t invite her to a football game, she’ll just be listening to MCR the whole time.

  • #3 - The Jack of All Trades” - Maureen Fenninger
    “Multi-instrumental genius.” “Elizabethan Ren-Prov expert.” “Designated Driver.” “Theremin enthusiast.” There have been many titles for her, but you can just call her “Mo,” the everyday alias for our friend of the show and this week’s guest, Maureen Fenninger! On this episode, David, James and Maureen hang out in the S.A. studio’s tea room, and talk about the world of renaissance fairs, anime openings, Miyazaki film orchestrations, and her father’s journey for the perfect audio sound. Tune in to an eclectic-AF playlist featuring Celtic Woman, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Bobby Darin, Joan Baez, “The Band’s Visit”, and more! Turn those speakers up over 9000(!!!), chill out to the episode and then vibe to her awesome playlist later. Just know, though - if you ever forgot to pay up to her old Girl Scout Troupe for cookies, Maureen remembers...and Maureen always collects...

  • #2 - “128 MB” - David Hentz
    Heading out to the highway and need some tuneage? Does your cheap MP3 player only hold 20 songs? Is the year 2005? It is?!! Well, better put a little of everything on that playlist! At least, that’s the time-tested advice of southwestern guitar-slinger and Spiral Architect co-host, David Hentz! This week, your hosts run headfirst into a musical-medley-mosh-pit, featuring Judas Priest, Mastodon, Norah Jones, Gorillaz, Wynton Marsalis, and much more. James muses on the possibility of a metal version of the musical, “The Fantasticks,” and David talks about the lasting personal impact of his favorite band, Pink Floyd. Just remember: “There is no dark side of the moon, really. Matter of fact, it’s all dark...”

  • #1 - The Man of Montevallo” - James Powers
    Do you have rhythmic adoration? Got a love for high frequencies? Sing and dance onstage for money? If you answered “yes” for any of these, then you’ll love Spiral Architect’s co-host and first guest, James Powers! In this episode, your two hosts indulge in the musical paella that is James’ playlist, featuring Sondheim’s “Company,” Dave Matthews Band, RHPS, Elvis Costello, and much more. Stick around, and Dave may even reveal what he thinks the music industry really refers to Bob Dylan. Spoiler alert: it’s “Dylan.”
