Show notes

Baroness’ John Baizley joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the band’s new album, Stone. The frontman discusses his penchant for short album titles in the likes of the first four Led Zeppelin albums, how his lyrics tell his own personal story with hopes that it relates to everyone’s own personal stories, and using genre and melody to get his point across. Baizley goes on to compliment Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, and Radiohead’s strong sense of self, seeing Sonic Youth and Nirvana as his first and second live shows, and finding his way after “being entirely lost” while making this new LP.

Hall,(Dexter, Six Feet Under), and also features Matt Katz-Bohen (Blondie) and Peter Yanowitz (The Wallflowers, Morningwood), discuss how the accidental formation of the group has led their musical direction and the more experimental avenues they are able to explore while still producing what sounds like their most radio-friendly set yet.

Andy Taylor on Recovering From Pop, David Bowie’s Death, & Duran Duran’s Lost Reportage LP Sep 08, 2023

Show notes

Andy Taylor joins Kyle Meredith to talk about Man’s A Wolf To Man, his first solo album of original material in 36 years. The former Duran Duran guitarist talks about how he first considered a Power Station reunion before deciding to focus on himself, how his songwriting is recovering from a lifetime in pop, that David Bowie’s death had a major impact on his decision to return, and his thoughts on channeling music versus copying it. Taylor also draws the parallel of this new set to the politically charged lost Duran Duran album “Reportage,” simultaneously giving us the history of how the label held the band back from progressing artistically while also highlighting the new material that was considered at the war in Ukraine, Brexit, and the lack of protest songs in pop while the likes of Jason Aldean and Anthony Oliver fill that spot in country music.

Show notes

Ratboys’ Julia Steiner joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the band's latest album, The Window. The Louisville-raised lead singer reminisces about interning for Meredith in the early part of her career and the artists that were interviewed during that time (St. Vincent and Nada Surf come to mind) before turning the attention to teaming up with former Death Cab For Cutie member Chris Walla to help produce this new LP in Seattle, and how the album carries a certain bit of nostalgia and looking back within the lyrics. Steiner goes on to talk about the background of songs like the title track and opening number “Making Noise for the Ones You Love” and how they both deal with loss, as well as finding peace by the end of the set, and the uncharacteristic music they listened to while recording, including acts like Janet Jackson, Def Leppard, and The Roches.

Show notes

Lena Waithe & Rishi Rajani join Kyle Meredith to discuss the new Emmy-nominated documentary, Being Mary Tyler Moore, out now on Max.
