Wake & Jake

Jake is up in northern Wisconsin, recording from a "cabin" in the woods. He's tired, sleep deprived, and has some frustrations to get off his chest while still having a fun time with his buds.

Music recommendation is “Times of Grace” by Neurosis.

Fellow baby, Hunter Brown, joins Jake again. This time it's in Jake's home, where he struggles in between takes to properly mic an actual piano. Jake and Hunter discuss more dreams that they've had, and chat about how they got started in playing music.

Music recommendations are “Parachute” by The Pretty Things, and “Vernal Equinox” by Jon Hassell.

We've got a tired boy alert, people! Jake is a little extra sleepy from sitting in the sun all day at the Cubs game. But he's excited enough that they swept the Brewers. Take that, Milwaukee!

All work and no sleep makes Jake...a terrible podcast host. Luckily he has help from a potential psychic.

Music recommendations are “Night Beat” by Sam Cooke, and “You Are My Everlovin'“ by Henry Flynt.

Jake had a spooky dream last night but can't really remember the bulk of it. But he shares the feeling he had when waking up. This weekend was also a scorcher so he talks about how sweaty he got. Always a fun topic...

Music recommendations are “Antipop vs Matthew Shipp” by Antipop Consortium, and “Keep it Like a Secret by Built” to Spill.

Jake went and saw his new favorite horror movie this week. But he doesn't talk about the alligator in Humboldt Park? Hm...Rory the cat joins the team as today's recording engineer and Jake interprets a dream for someone.

Music recommendations are “The Best of Herbie Hancock - The Hits!” by Herbie Hancock, and “In the Court of the Crimson King” by King Crimson.

Grilled meats on July 4th, and spooky movies in the dark. That's how Jake rolls and that's what he talks about today. Also, John Maus...Jake forgets to mention that John Maus is not only a musician, but a philosophy professor. So that information goes to the description now.

Music recommendations are “Clube da Esquina” by Milton Nascimento, and “Unknown Pleasures” & “Closer” by Joy Division.

Jake is joined today by his wife and fellow cat/dog parent Kate Gurke to discuss everything from Simpsons jokes, attempts to getting sponsorships from Apple, and a rabid Merryweather Lewis. Also, if you could tell us what a Toy Story is, that would be great.

Music recommendations are “Nashville Skyline” by Bob Dylan, “Cambodian Rocks” by Various Artists, “Black Star” by David Bowie, and “Sky Blue” by Maria Schneider.

Jake is in Sacramento for a wedding, and is joined on this episode by his good friend Evan. Jake and Evan discuss The Matrix, reality as a simulation, Mukbang, and ASMR. Yeah, it get's a little weird.

Music suggestions are “The Gilded Palace of Sin” by The Flying Burrito Brothers, “Platinum Rats” by The Briefs, and “Power Chords” by Mike Krol.

Jake has a dream where he wins a ton of money and doesn't get it. Pies turn into sculptures and an old man takes care of the skin on the bottom of his feet. This description sounds like a weird hallucination. But it's just a dream...just a dream...

Music suggestions are “Gris-Gris” by Dr John, and “Propellers in Love” by Arnold Dreyblatt.
