What Goes On...

Matt and I are nothing if not inconsistent, and today we are a day late on releasing this week's episode, which means we are consistently inconsistent. Oxymorons aside, I'm delighted to introdue this week's willing participant: Joel Pott - Pop star front man and co-writing ubermensch. I've had the pleasure of knowing Joel for about 20yrs and am very grateful to him for, amongst other things, trying the Little Chopper proto and buying Little Chop 002 off the back of that, and having me out on tour with Athlete with a couple of bands I played in. This episode covers early life, musical development, the wax and wain of pop stardom, and the tricky early path into co-writing with the likes of London Grammar, Ellie Goulding and of course George Ezra. I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording this episode. scx

Well, most of you will know all about Jesse, his talents and his creations, but for the few of you who don't, he is the man behind, amongst many other things, the Lazy J J20, arguably one of the most desirable gigging amps on the planet. In this episode we dig into his back-story, his ethos, and various tangential nonsense. Basically a typical (pre-covid lockdown) WGO episode. Happy Birthday brother!

I love Billy Bush - he is an old skool gent. Multiple Grammy Nominations for producing/ engineering and mixing for, amongst others Garbage, The Naked and Famous, Neon Trees, Julia Stone, Fink, Foster the People, Muse, Alanis Morissette, Jake Bugg, Beck, and Boxer Rebellion. He lives in Los Angeles and works from his studio "Red Razor Sounds" in Atwater Village. He is a tech-master, husband to Shirley Manson, inveterate tinkerer, and single-malt drinker. Enjoy.

Jesse Quinn is a multi-instrumentalist, perhaps best known for playing bass in Keane, but has many, many strings to his bow. Learn how he survived for a week on Cointreau and a loaf of bread, and how he came to start Old Jet, plus more, in this episode...

Well, this took a while to post. High as kites on Weanie Beans coffee, Matt and I talk equal parts gibberish/ fact about our routes to present work situations, life lessons, and puns. I catagorically guarantee this is just what you need to watch on the last day before your Christams hols start. Go on, close your email client, grab a caffeinated beverage and hop on our WGO magic carpet of piffle. scx

The fifth episode of What Goes on is here (and also there. Kind of everywhere really. The internet's strange like that)! For this positively penta-temporal episode, we are joined by the one and only Earl of Daneland, Mr Peter Honoré himself. Known by his legions of adoring internet followers as Danish Pete, he is a presenter on (and the brains behind) the fantastically successful Andertons TV. He has also had an illustrious career as a session guitarist, playing stadium tours with some of the biggest artists in the music industry, and he now enjoys a substantial social media following in his own right.
