Memory Tracks#31: Emilio TorresIf you listened to episode 12, you'll remember Gabby making mention of her dad, Emilio, and his eclectic music taste that developed growing up in Puerto Rico. It just so happened that Emilio was in town this past weekend and he wanted to come on the show after hearing about it from his daughter. A former radio host himself, Emilio was a natural and I truly enjoyed hearing his stories of sailing to Bob Marley, working alongside his brother's musical career and more.

He's a music nerd as good as any, and I loved learning about his path from crafting chip tunes to crawling Radiohead forums as a kid. We also agreed that his last pick is one of the most unexpectedly difficult karaoke songs to ever pull off.

Luckily, she agreed and we ended up having an awesome conversation.

But he's been in Austin, like me, for a while, and after a few run-ins and some props on the podcast were exchanged, I knew this would be a fun interview to tape. He brought the first official Kanye song on the podcast, and it goes for 12 and half minutes with a spoken history lesson, but I felt it was important to let the track ride all the way through.

A few weeks prior she had met a friend of mine and listener of the show, who ultimately connected us and encouraged us to tape this episode after realizing our similar interests and passion for music. Then I found out she had a good Bowie story, and of course my curiosity was piqued.

This was a fun one!

Memory Tracks#11: Sam BaberSam and I share a complete devotion to all things Prince, and our common love of one of the greatest musicians of all time warranted an episode where all 3 songs came from 1 artist. It was wonderful to hear how these songs came to define Sam's growing up in the 80s in the middle of the country. I feel like we could have geeked out for hours on Prince material, and this was only the beginning, but I hope you find new ways to appreciate The Purple One through this episode.

I interviewed two very good friends, who happen to be married to each other, at the same time. Walking into the interview, Joy and Matt did not know what tracks the other had selected. We revealed each track one at a time, ultimately splitting the episode into 2 parts. Here's part 1.

Chris and I have been going to shows together for years, and he once helped sneak me into Wrigley Field at 1:00 in the morning for a Pearl Jam show. While we don't get into that story, he shares a wide range of music with a few stories throughout his life.

Memory Tracks#6: Alvin OwusuAlvin will probably be my only guest that goes from a Dave Matthews Band song to Three Six Mafia's Project Pat, and I was totally here for it. He also brings us our first Christmas song reference, and I'm convinced he's picked the best version of a classic. But honestly I wish we had thought to play North Memphis on repeat.
