Basile and entrepreneur Sarin Kuruvilla (aka DEQR) decipher the current state of indie music, old-school A&R and the magic of development. Focusing on the why of the project or brand creates an understanding of the deeper motivations or reasons behind something. The key to solving a problem, gaining insight and even success lies in exploring the "why" rather than just the surface details.

And never forget, you ARE an artist.  Align yourself with the people that believe in magic...

Ever hear of Ice Bath Sundays? Well neither did we until Dr. Charlie exposed us. Here is the next episode of Unrehearsed with Dr. Charlie aka the Musician's Physician.  Immediately following a communal ice bath, the freshly frozen pair discuss the difference between ice baths, cryotherapy, and cocaine as well as our innate need for community.  Basile and Dr. Charlie Kautz also explore the recent cicada phenomenon.

Thank you to the very talented Jeremy Lister for hosting the host and our favorite podcast guest in the backyard. Special thanks to Mixing Engineer/Sound Wizard Kyle J. Ross.

Producer’s Notes:
There are 3,000 species of cicadas found around the world, and only nine of them are periodical. Seven of the periodical ones — all part of a genus known as Magicicada — only inhabit the eastern US.
Check out the Wim Hof method breathing exercises. It’s pretty rad.
Restore Hyper Wellness is the cryo studio in Music Row/Nashville.

 I have yet to ice bath again… JB

A huge round of applause for Kyle J. Ross, Sound Wizard.

Special thank you to sound wizard Kyle J. Ross who belongs mixing everyone's podcast and more importantly, their music.

Producers note: 
If you want to check out an infrared sauna or a float, I love the folks at Float Horizen in East Nashville.
And so I get it right, Jeff Tweedy says in his book Let's Go (So We Can Get Back), "I think that artist create in spite of suffering, not because of suffering. I just don't buy it. Everyone suffers by degrees and I believe everyone has the capacity to create... 
At the very least, one's suffering must be fairly manageable to even contemplate art."
Well said.  Now go create! JB
