It's short, as you might expect given my general lack of loquaciousness, so just give it a listen to find out why I'm stopping the podcast.

Oh, and be sure to check out and support the Logan Whitehurst Kickstarter in case you haven't already done so!

It's hard to believe he was last on way back in 2015 for episode 8! Kirby Krackle's latest release is Suburban Hearts / Vigilante Hymns. It's a decidedly different direction, more mellow and stripped down (it's just Kyle and the guitar / ukulele), less specifically geeky, but it's not nearly as surprising as it might seem given several tracks from the last few albums.

Songs played in the show:

  • "You and I"
  • "Oh, This Year" (I did, however, cut out the coda at the end. It's worth checking out, of course, but it would have made for some weird podcasting…)
  • "Suburban Hearts / Vigilante Hymns"

All this through the kaleidoscope of Hanna-Barbera, Amazonian shaman, and hamburgers." He's also been making music for over 20 years now, so we get into some of his history, including a hiatus he took that lead to the making of this album.

Songs played in the show:

Oh, also she has an online concert over on Concert Window on April 21st, so watch and donate if you can.

After a six month hiatus, I've decided to return to the podcast. I'm actually kinda surprised about that, being an introvert, but I realized that despite the editing and stuff it's actually going to take less of my time to do this than the column would. So here we are!

A couple of notes about some minor changes: I've decided to include two or three full songs in each episode rather than just excerpts. That will save me some time in editing, plus it's probably a better way to promote the music anyway. Second, I've also decided to change up the show notes introduction. I'm just going to write a bit about the artist's most recent release(s) instead of trying to break down what we talked about. You'd be surprised by how much time and effort that takes to do. And finally, I decided to continue the numbering of the episodes rather than restart. I'm not really changing anything too major, so I felt like it just made sense.

In this episode, I talk again to Marc with a C. His latest release is the 10" EP (yes, you should definitely be getting it on vinyl!), Half Serious, Half Kidding, as well as an upcoming vinyl version of his interpretations of songs from the Shock Treatment soundtrack which you can pre-order now. He will also be releasing a new album in 2018 produced by Jordon Zadorozny of Blinker the Star. So keep an eye out for that (and expect him to return when that comes out!).

Songs played in the show:

  • "Selfies"

But then I started to see Best of 2016 lists from various places, and I got sucked back into the idea.

And I also remembered something that Boilen said last year in regards to his top ten: "There is no 'best' in music, just ones we love. There is no right or wrong, just ones that fuel our soul."

And so as I interviewed several guests this year, I started off by asking them just two simple questions: What are some of your favorite Halloween songs? and How do people find you and your music online? Of course, sometimes the conversation went in other directions, but that's the main part of the discussion.

See show notes on Fandomania.com for full list of songs mentioned by the artists.
