juiceciuj Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 http://songexploder.net/ didn't see anything posted about it but it's a pretty cool podcast. listened to a few of these on a road trip with the wifey recently. details below: Song Exploder is a podcast where musicians take apart their songs, and piece by piece, tell the story of how they were made. Each episode is produced and edited by host and creator Hrishikesh Hirway in Los Angeles. Using the isolated, individual tracks from a recording, Hrishikesh asks artists to delve into the specific decisions that went into creating their work. Hrishikesh edits the interviews, removing his side of the conversation and condensing the story to be tightly focused on how the artists brought their songs to life. Past guests include Björk, U2, Iggy Pop, and Carly Rae Jepsen, among many others. some notables: newest episode is tobacco/gods in heat: https://soundcloud.com/hrishihirway/song-exploder-tobacco opn/sticky drama: https://soundcloud.com/hrishihirway/song-exploder-oneohtrix-point-never bjork/stonemilker: https://soundcloud.com/hrishihirway/song-exploder-bjork grimes/kill v maim: https://soundcloud.com/hrishihirway/song-exploder-grimes full show list: http://songexploder.net/episodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilwx Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I've only heard a few episodes of this, but I found this by their episode with The Books, on the track Smells Like Content, the music video of which is one of my favorites ever. I was pretty delighted to find out that the lyrics are mostly nonsense constructed from random television surfing. Somehow I appreciate it more now that I know that not very much mental energy was put into the meaning/concept, although other tracks of theirs are clearly based on some form of philosophy. http://songexploder.net/the-books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juiceciuj Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 aah! i didn't even notice the books episode (listening now). i just found out about it a couple of weeks ago. saw the books like in nyc about 10 years ago. was one of the best shows (if not the very best) i've been to. their visuals and the live performance of their songs was amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxus Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Yeah it's a good podcast. There's one about Clipping's Work Work that was a lot of fun. Most of the bands they've had on I don't listen to, but they're still interesting to hear about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
