ITS EASY WITH ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Distrokid⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The narrative unfolds through the experiences of Yuki Matthews, who recounts a particularly tumultuous episode from his touring days with the band Seldom. The tale begins with an unexpected twist when an email from a fan, promising lodging during their Houston show, leads to unforeseen complications. The anticipation of a sold-out performance at Walters on Washington, coupled with the promise of hospitality from a fan named Darren Walker, sets the stage for a series of misadventures. What ensues is a comical yet alarming sequence of events, culminating in a dramatic confrontation with a stranger in an unfamiliar mansion. The episode intricately explores themes of trust, miscommunication, and the unpredictable nature of life on the road, accentuated by the revelation that two individuals share the same name, leading to a cascade of confusion and unexpected outcomes. Yuki's ability to narrate this experience with both humor and gravity highlights the unpredictable essence of touring life, providing listeners with a profound reflection on the challenges and surprises that accompany the pursuit of musical dreams.Mentioned in this episode:DistrokidEp supported by @distrokid.

Light in the Attic's Liner Notes - Pete Jolly's Seasons with The Wrecking Crew's Chuck Berghofer

Organic, electric, freeform. Pete Jolly's Seasons is an unsung masterpiece of ensemble groove and stellar musicianship, equally unsurpassed and inspired in its quiet excellence. Recorded in 1970, Seasons never had significant commercial success upon its release but has since amassed a cult following, leading collectors to pay top dollar for copies of the rare record, whose tracks would eventually be sampled by Cypress Hill, Jay Dee, & Busta Rhymes. Legendary Bassist Chuck Berghofer (The Wrecking Crew) not only plays on Seasons but was also a close friend of Pete Jolly. In this episode of Light in the Attic's Liner Notes, we hear from Chuck Berghofer himself along with music journalist & liner notes writer Dave Segal (The Stranger) to discuss the making of this improvisational masterpiece and celebrate the visionary talent of West Coast jazz keyboardist Pete Jolly. Liner Notes is a co-production of Light in the Attic and Ruinous Media. Edited and Mixed by Chris Duryee and Joe Plummer. Mentioned in this episode:DistrokidEp supported by @distrokid.
