I was literally dancing round the room when John Dwyer agreed to be on the show.
John is a tireless, persistently forward-thinking warrior whose influence is impossible to quantify. The band that he founded and leads - Osees (Thee Oh Sees) - is one whose influence is equally impossible to quantify.
He defines experimentation.
...Hurtling, bruising, brooding, hypnotic, phalanx of double drummers, muscular, veins of gold through granite, shifting ground, heavy, lush, stately, groovy, roar, whisper, fuzz fried...

And my favourite....

... Cauldron of chaos

These are John and Matt's notes of the Osees' albums Orc and Mutilator....pretty accurate huh?
Thank you John, this was a blast!

S3 E3: Meredith Graves

I was thrilled when Meredith Graves agreed to be on my podcast and I am even more thrilled to release her episode.
Listening to Meredith is informative, funny and totally absorbing. Her views on the power of our mindset is fascinating and of massive importance to how we think about our life.
For me, her infinite fascination and curiosity with our world is motivated by her drive to learn, challenge, grow, improve and make our world a more inclusive and accepting place. She breaks things up to see the constituent parts and then reconstructs them in her world view.
Meredith is a writer, purveyor of magik, tarot explorer, witchcraft practitioner, seamstress, risk taker, hardcore noise maker, lifelong rule breaker, journalist, TV presenter and currently Director of Music at Kickstarter.

S3 E5: Zia McCabe (Part 2)

It's a massive thank you and welcome back to Zia McCabe of the Dandy Warhols!
We talked so much in depth in Part 1 about formative influences, identity, skills and mindset that we couldn't possibly leave all unanswered questions about how this applies to Zia's musical creativity.
So here goes: we're gonna go from how Zia became appointed to the position of Secret Agent McCabe to basically protect the band from any nonsense (and there's a dynamite story about how she did that with merch scammers)....to how collaborations with Massive Attack helped her creativity...and how music has helped her to believe in her ability to adjust and adapt to big changes in her life.
These are 100% experiential observations that will help anyone who is thinking about their future direction in life.
