The Earth Hotel

Our first swapcast! If you're unfamiliar with the concept: coined by Doug Stanhope, it's when two programs go in one an episode together and release it as their own -- for twice the jolly content!

These are good boys and fun players in their own right, enjoy our talk ---

"Episode 9. Setting the Mood  

The Boys sit down, turn down the lights, light some candles, and put on a record while we talk about how we get the ambience right for our games. They’re joined by Jacquie Cotillard, local musician, Nightwatch Operator Of The Earth Hotel, and Queen of the Ambient Zone. Wes, Dash, and Dotty try to keep up while Cline gets down on the Vibes. You can find Jacquie on Twitter at @JCotillard and the Earth Hotel at theearthhotel.org"

The Earth Hotel was pleased as peaches to host the Indie Pop-Up Record Shop at Revelator Coffee on December 16th, and played witness to a myriad of talents and smiling faces who spoke sounds with me about their craft and lives. Join us! Musical samples abound throughout! Find the esteemed artists in the links below - - -

This man Milton has had a varied career and an expansive experiences in the fringes of rock n roll, and he has emerged blessed, motivated, and shining from the glow of worship. We speak for almost two hours about the mysticism of music, the underlying structures of our collective meaning, and what exactly it is about valleys that collects eccentric people with excessive energy. One of my all-time favorite conversations. Features music from across Milton's journey, and you can find much more of it below:

I was blessed and moved to have these instrumental crafts-folk in the studio to record a unique performance for this special episode. I encountered Frozen Yogurt at a storage unit show featured on minisode K and didn't get much of their set recorded on that night. It seemed fitting to have the real thing in and get it from the source. Enjoy! You can see them live this Friday night at the Soft Rock Bungalow with myself (Jacquie Cotillard), the Dizzy, and illustrious KYLE the band.

The voice has come back and it tells us that there's a new episode of the Earth Hotel. You know that now, however unlikely it was you made it here without knowing that. The voice does not lie. This week we welcome the duo Loi Loi to the city of Birmingham, the Red Mountain's own melting valley, and they found it to their liking. The electronic pair made a stellar impression on the folks of the Syndicate Lounge, and we sat about within the Soft Rock Bungalow for an interview about their debut EP Viva la Vulva, which you can preview here and truly hear below.
