Kyle Meredith With... Robbie Robertson Oct 28, 2019

Show notes

Legendary co-founder of The Band Robbie Robertson speaks with Kyle Meredith about Sinematic, his first solo album in eight years, and how it ties in with the score to Martin Scorsese's The Irishman. From there, he discusses his long collaborative history with the legendary filmmaker, one that dates back to The Last Waltz and Raging Bull, and how his knack for writing character studies has been appealing to Scorsese. It's also the 50th anniversary of The Band's self-titled sophomore LP. So, naturally, Kyle and Robertson take a trip back to 1969 to discuss what it was like to be part of a musical revolution with Bob Dylan and how he's retracing all of this history in the new documentary, Once Were Brothers. Robbie also teases a follow up to Testimony, his 2016 autobiography, which will focus on his career after The Band broke up.

Kyle Meredith With... The Go-Go's Oct 23, 2019

Show notes

The Go-Go's bassist Kathy Valentine takes a trip back to 1994 with Kyle Meredith to discuss the 25th anniversary of Return To The Valley of The Go-Go's. The two talk about what it was like to be in the band at a time when punk had gone mainstream, how many of those artists were citing The Go-Go's as a major influence, and their experiences playing with Courtney Love, Hole, Green Day, and the riot grrrl movement. Despite that legacy, the group has never been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which she addresses. We also hear how the single "The Whole World Lost Its Head" keeps finding new life with new lyrics in their live shows, writing the classic "Vacation", the Broadway musical that features their catalogue, an upcoming documentary telling their story, and Kathy's own autobiography and companion soundtrack that will be out next year.

Liz Phair returns to the scene with not just her first new music in nearly a decade, but with an autobiography in tow as well. Phair spoke with Kyle Meredith about collecting the memories that make up Horror Stories, and how its follow up, the yet-to-be completed Fairy Tales, focuses on the darker and lighter sides of her past. She also discusses how the 2016 election and Prince's death helped kickstart the ideas and process. From there, we get to hear about her comeback single, "Good Side", returning to work with Exile in Guyville producer Brad Wood, and what to expect from the rest of the album, which Liz tells us will be a "stranger, much more experimental, deeper and twistier journey."

Nearly 40 years into her career, Kim Gordon has just released her first solo album, No Home Record.

The two also chat about her love and history of '80s hip-hop, whether or not the lyrics on this LP update the story from her autobiography, Girl In a Band, and why she recently became a Fleetwood Mac fan.

Kyle Meredith With... Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips Oct 14, 2019

Show notes

The Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne gives Kyle Meredith a shout to discuss the band's latest LP, King's Mouth. He details the journey that took the album from being an art installation, a children's book, and finally a fantastical concept record with narration from The Clash's Mick Jones. The album arrives on the heels of Coyne becoming a father, a coincidence that lines up with the lyrical themes and gives the singer a chance to reflect on how his personal philosophies have been updated, he explains. The two also ponder whether "Giant Baby" find reflection in the political landscape as well as the scoop on a handful of official releases, both live and in-studio, that are set to drop within the next year.
