Kim Deal on Nobody Loves You More, Solo Adventures, and Long-Running Creativity Dec 30, 2024

Show notes

With her work with the Pixies and The Breeders, Kim Deal is no stranger to iconic records. But her latest, Nobody Loves You More, marks a true milestone: her first true solo album. During her chat with Kyle Meredith, Deal shares insights into the album's decade-long journey, explaining, “I’ve been working on this since around 2011, releasing 7-inch singles here and there, but this record started feeling like an album around 2016.”

The album, recorded across multiple locations from Kentucky to Chicago, brings a distinctive sound. “This isn’t a Breeders album,” Deal emphasizes. With lush string arrangements, the songs explore new sonic territory.

Deal also touches on performing with The Breeders on Olivia Rodrigo’s recent tour and the excitement of stepping onto stages like Madison Square Garden.

With Nobody Loves You More landing on numerous year-end best-of lists (including Consequence’s own!), Kim Deal’s solo chapter has clearly struck a chord. As she puts it, “It’s been a long road, but this is exactly where I want to be.”

The book offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at Radiohead, a band known for its mystique, and includes personal photos interspersed with words of reflection on the band’s middle years.

The interview delves into the band’s creative process, particularly how the environments they recorded in influenced their sound, from haunted 15th-century manor houses during OK Computer to derelict country estates for In Rainbows.

The bassist also mentions his recent work with Nick Cave, having played bass on Cave’s new album, and how the band’s hiatus allowed him to explore other creative avenues. As Radiohead approaches its 40th anniversary, Greenwood hints that the band recently reunited for a jam session and is excited about what’s next, though he’s careful not to reveal too much about their future plans.

Rewind: Maynard James Keenan & Les Claypool on Thwarting Criminals, Performing in Costume, and Drinking Wine Dec 25, 2024

Show notes

For this Rewind of our 1000th episode of Kyle Meredith With…, Kyle sits down with two icons of rock — Primus frontman Les Claypool and Tool’s Maynard James Keenan. Revisit the collision of giants.

The two rockers chat about their ongoing collaboration and friendship, highlighted by the “Sessanta Tour.” The conversation quickly turns hilarious, with the two bantering about everything from thwarting bank robberies and wrestling bears to recalling their first meeting during the 1993 Lollapalooza.

Claypool also teases the idea of finally finishing his long-awaited projects with Sean Lennon and Billy Strings. Les then goes on to liken his approach to performing to Halloween — a celebration that allows him to become different personas while entertaining the audience.

Maynard, for his part, opens up about his initial insecurities that led him to take on different characters during his performances, noting that doing so still serves as a buffer between himself and the audience. The conversation also takes a fun detour as Claypool recounts a surreal acoustic jam session he had with Eric Idle, "Weird Al" Yankovic, and Puddles the Clown.

Show notes

As 2024 comes to a close, Kyle Meredith with... is taking a look the best interviews from the last 12 months. In this Rewind episode, listen back to the chat with Dave Navarro where he talks about this year's Jane’s Addiction reunion.

The guitarist begins the conversation by talking about his interests in WWII documentaries, archeology, and alien civilizations before buckling down to discuss the band’s tour with Love & Rockets. He also touches on how big of an influence Daniel Ash was for him, as well as the process of recording the new songs “Imminent Redemption” and “True Love” and why they’re only playing songs from their first three albums (“Chris Chaney is playing with AC/DC, poor guy”).

Navarro goes on to talk about his distaste for seeing fans holding up phones during concerts, taking a break from guitar after Taylor Hawkins’ death, and why never wrote a second solo record. He then details getting to be more experimental with his playing as of late, The Velvet Underground’s influence on the band, and the distractions that kept Jane's Addiction unfocused for the past 20 years.

Show notes

As 2024 wraps up, Kyle Meredith with... is taking a look at some of the best interviews from the past year. In this Rewind, revisit an interview with Pearl Jam’s Stone Gossard where he talks about the band’s latest album, Dark Matter.

The guitarist gives insight on the joy and abandonment that went into the process of making the LP with producer Andrew Watt, as well as how it came together so much quicker than Gigaton. He relates the experience to that of their earliest years. Interestingly, Gossard also reveals that The Cure and U2 served as primary influences on the new set of songs.

With U2 in mind, Gossard tells us why he doesn’t want Pearl Jam to play The Sphere. He then gives his thoughts on The Darkness’ Justin Hawkins deconstruction of “Dark Matter” and, excitingly, says that he’d love to start on a follow up with Watt right away.

Kayla Wallace Talks Landman, When Calls the Heart, and Facing Off with Billy Bob Thornton Dec 16, 2024

Show notes

Taylor Sheridan is a well-oiled storytelling machine, and his latest drama, Landman, set in the unforgiving boom towns of West Texas, promises high-stakes drama and a masterclass in grit. Kayla Wallace steps into the chaos as Rebecca, a fierce attorney who’s unafraid to shake up the old boys’ club — and maybe survive a snake or two along the way. The actress talks with Kyle Meredith about the series, as well as her return to When Calls the Heart.

Wallace relishes the role, bringing a fire that holds its own against powerhouse Billy Bob Thornton, whose rugged cynicism fuels the series’ combustible energy. From courtroom showdowns to tense standoffs in oil fields and wind farms, Wallace’s Rebecca is a woman who’s done her homework and isn’t afraid to use it.

The behind-the-scenes details are as riveting as the plot. When Wallace talks about acting alongside real snakes — plexiglass shields or not — it’s clear Landman doesn’t just flirt with danger; it marries it. “I was absolutely terrified,” she admits. “I thought the snake would somehow learn how to jump and get me.” Add in Wallace’s commitment to exploring the environmental and human costs of oil, and you’ve got a drama that’s as thought-provoking as it is pulse-pounding.

And for those who know Wallace best from When Calls the Heart, there’s more to look forward to. While her character Fiona took a detour to Nashville, Wallace hints that we might not have seen the last of her in Hope Valley.
