The historic Howard Theatre in Washington, DC is in trouble. Again. How did we get here and what the hell can anyone do about it?
Sturgill Simpson has followed up his breakout album Metamodern Sounds In Country Music, with the ambitious, genre hopping, expectation defying love letter to his son, A Sailor’s Guide To Earth. Is it another masterpiece or has the country “outlaw” bit off more than he can chew this time out? We aim to find out.
Merle Haggard is gone and that that f%&ing sucks. We listen to some country and shed a tear of the loss of this legendary songwriter.

Music has always been the lifeblood running through multi-instrumentalist Phil Cook's veins for as long as he can remember. In 2015 he fully dialed in to that guiding presence for the first time in his life, and the result was the magnificent Southland Mission. Mission mined a deep history of American gospel and blues to deliver songs of beauty, hope and rejuvenation, that didn't just honor what came before them, but weaved themselves into the very fabric of the rich tapestry of the culture that's at the root of our modern experience.
We (finally) caught up with Phil before his recent show here in Washington, DC to talk about his past, the music he loves, and how a goofy kid from Wisconsin found enlightenment at at an early age in the most unlikely of places.
This podcast can be the instrument to mend a broken heart or to straighten out your life through the sincere testimony of one righteous dude. A must!

Independently, Sam McCormally and William McKindley-Ward are longtime staples of the DC music scene. Together they are FELLOW CREATURES!
Following the demise of their previous band - the beloved Ugly Purple Sweater - both were looking for a different direction for their music. They found it in electronic experimentation coupled with masterful songwriting and the result is a mind-blowing, self-titled LP that defies categorization.
In advance of the release, Sam and Will stopped by the basement to chat with Kevin and special guest Paul Vodra (Hometown Sounds) about the making of Fellow Creatures, life in the DC music scene, and much, much more.

For 30 years now, SXSW has brought the best and the brightest of the music industry to the music capital of the world for for a week of controlled chaos and musical overload. Music journalist Marcus J. Moore attended this summer camp for music nerds for the first time this year, and he’s hanging out with us to report back on what went down.
Laura Gibson has made a career of making sublimely beautiful folk music, but on Empire Builder she beat back adversity and ended up with her best album to date.
Oddisee is back with a free album Alwasta, and we’ve got a politically charged track off of it to rock your freaking dome.
(Editors Note: The 2012 Oddisee album that Kevin butchered the title of in the intro is actually named People Hear What They See. And it is excellent.)

The Kesha vs Dr. Luke case takes a couple of strange new twists on its way to (hopefully) resolution. Or does it?
If you don’t know Brotherman, than you don’t know much, mannnn. We’re turning our ears towards one of Numero Group’s finest reissues and unearthing a bit of musical history in the process.
Speaking of Numero Group…the Chicago based label has consistently slayed over the years and we’ve got a taste of catalog No. 37, otherwise known as Father’s Children’s Who’s Gonna Save The World, for you to feast on.
CAN. YOU. DIG IT? Yea…we think you can.

We’re dipping our toes into a conversation about what it means to be a music journalist in 2016. What do we do? What is our place is in the “music industry”? How can we all, musicians and critics alike, do better. Everything is fair game as Marcus Dowling and Marcus J. Moore return to help us dig in and ask some serious questions about ourselves and the work we do.
Anderson .Paak is on a hot streak that culminated at this year’s SXSW. His latest album Malibu is the spark that lit that fire and we’re here to talk about it.
KING’s debut album We Are King is a stellar exploration of R&B sounds both old and new. We’ve got a taste of their genius to make sure you know that.
If Pablo pops up and the album still isn’t finished, did it really happen?

Last week it was 311 day. If you don't know what that is you're lying. To yourself.*
Damien Jurado is back with an expansive, mind-bending, psycho-trip of a new album, Visions of Us on the Land. We buy the ticket and take the ride.
Skylar Gudasz's exceptional debut album Oleander is out NOW. We've got a track to help convince you of said exceptionality.
*Now would be a good time to reiterate that we are not a facts based podcast.

The preservation and fostering of the arts should be a top priority for any civilized society, but New York City may be overcompensating with a relatively recent initiative involving affordable housing.
Prog-pop masters Field Music are back with their new album Commontime. It’s as nerdy and as great as you would expect. Unless you’re Paul.
School of Seven Bells suffered tragedy when front man Benjamin Curtis succumbed to T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma in 2013. Three years later, band mate Alejandra Deheza has picked up the pieces for one last album and we’ve got a taste.
