150. Hey Geronimo on Dan Kelly 'Drowning in the Fountain of Youth'

Dan Kelly's 'Drowning in the Fountain of Youth' is an influential modern Aussie classic and Pete from Hey Geronimo is here to prove it!

Frontman of Brisbane power-pop rockers Hey Geronimo (whose debut album Crashing into the Sun is out now!) Pete Kilroy joins me to make the case for Dan Kelly and the Alpha Males weird, laconic and infections LP on the tenth anniversary of its release.

How does Dan write songs about subjects no one else would think to touch, like using Grand Theft Auto to get over a breakup? How does he compromise his commercial prospects to make his music more interesting? What is the unprintable anthemic chorus of the album's best known song 'Drunk on Election Night'? How has his music influenced artists like Courtney Barnett? What bloody genre is this album in anyway?

PLUS Pete makes a point about art and commerce that I think is total bullshit and we fight about it.

298. Hayley Mary on Cyndi Lauper 'She's So Unusual' (1983)

On the heels of her debut solo EP release, Hayley Mary joins to finally bring Cyndi Lauper into the program. We get into it - the hits you remember, the backstory you didn't know, the Motown and punk influence, how the record portends the future and why the songs mean more now than they did at the time, and how Lauper has inspired Hayley through the years.

Today we head to genius producer, singer-songwriter and multi instrumentalist Jonathan Wilson's home studio for a wide ranging journey through the music that has inspired him, from Hank Williams to Maggot Brain. We dig into Hank Williams' alter ego Luke the Drifter, JW's Americana roots, how he finds time to balance working on his solo records vs producing artists like Father John Misty, what California means to him musically, his karaoke past and much more.

296. Inside David Byrne's American Utopia with percussionist Jacquelene Acevedo

New episodes are back for 2020! After being recently knocked out by David Byrne's American Utopia on Broadway, I connected with brilliant percussionist Jacquelene Acevedo and asked her to join me on the show to go behind the scenes on this fascinating show. We talk about everything from how her dance background informed the show's unique choreography, the technical demands of staying mobile while playing, joining the show for Broadway after the world tour, her favorite songs in the set to perform, audience reactions, how the show spreads hope and teaches us to be engaged members of society and which celebrities have dropped in to see the performance.
