Sellin' OutPostmodern Busking w/ Ava LunaAva Luna is a New York City-based group so eclectic, to simply call them "indie" or "pop" or "indie pop" would do a disservice to their blend of funk, punk and electronic music. I caught up with Julian Fader (drums), Felicia Douglass (vocals/synths) and Becca Kauffman (vocals/synths, a.k.a. Jennifer Vanilla) on release day for their latest full-length Moon 2 and chatted with them about wanting more out of touring, making the most of your band's hiatus and the allure of Times Square.

Sellin' Out"B of the D" w/ Justine Bowe (Photocomfort, ex-Magic Man)Justine Bowe is a singer-songwriter, vocalist and keyboard player from the Boston area. She was a member of the pop group Magic Man, with whom she played some insanely huge rooms to insanely huge crowds. Now she's focusing on getting her solo project Photocomfort to the same towering heights. Or is she??? We attempt to get to the bottom of this and other mysteries, like if it's possible to separate your onstage & offstage selves, the division of labor in fulltime creative gigs and whether to identify people by what they do for work or for fun.

Sellin' Out"The Left-Hand Path" w/ John Snyder (Electronic Audio Experiments, Ember Wreath)John Snyder is a musician, a Ph.D candidate at Boston University and frankly to call him a tinkerer would be selling him very short. He's always comin to me talmbout "capacitors" and "resistors" and "impedances" and "headroom" and all this mumbo-jumbo, so instead of all that this is my attempt to probe for how he made a growing reputation for himself in the artisanal guitar gear community through his pedal company, Electronic Audio Experiments.

Sellin' OutThe Investors Got Spooked w/ Dylan Hanwright (Great Grandpa, ex-IKG) & Malia Seavey (Salt Lick, Dogbreth)Dylan Hanwright and Malia Seavey joined me from The Wormhole, Dylan's recording studio, show space and residence in Seattle. Dylan plays guitar in Great Grandpa and several other bands, including the recently-reformed-just-to-break-up-again I Kill Giants. Malia is a designer, screenprinter and multitalented musician who sings in Salt Lick and drums in Dogbreth. We talked about video game music, Berklee and how things get rolling until the band is bigger than you alone.

Sellin' Out"Doc Marten Bootstraps" w/ Eric Annicchiarico (Au Revoir)Eric is the guitarist and de facto bandleader of Au Revoir, a post-rock (and by turns post-metal) band with members converging in New Jersey from far-flung corners of the US. You might know them as the band who climbed on each others' shoulders and stuck a huge dildo way up on Cloud Gate (aka The Bean) in Chicago, but you may also know them by their highly ambitious tour schedule, so we talked about going intercontinental, using your band's van as your daily driver and the oversaturation of DIY resources.

Sellin' OutA Rarely Home Companion w/ Evan Murphy & BB Bowness (Mile Twelve)And now for something completely different: Mile Twelve is a folk, bluegrass & Americana group based in Boston, but with roots all over the country and indeed the world. Massachusettsian guitarist Evan Murphy and New Zealand-raised banjo extraordinaire BB Bowness joined me at One Sellin' Out Plaza to discuss how their music is perceived differently from region to region, their decidedly un-Shatneresque cover of Elton John's "Rocket Man," and also roasting me for not knowing who Del McCoury is even though I claim to "like bluegrass."

Sellin' Out**UNLOCKED** Deep Cut #1: Save EMFTHIS IS A FREE PREVIEW OF BONUS SELLIN' OUT CONTENT. TO UNLOCK FUTURE BONUS SHOWS VISIT PATREON...AND THANKS!
This past spring saw the eviction and subsequent displacement of over 200 tenants of the EMF Building, a rehearsal studio/arts complex in Cambridge, MA. Ben Simon, a former EMF tenant and organizer with Cambridge Artists Coalition, joined me to discuss the underlying issues that allowed this to happen, the activism that has arisen in response and whether it will ultimately have any effect.

Sellin' OutDon't Drink the Water w/ Anthony Gesa (Gatherers)Anthony Gesa plays guitar in Gatherers, one of the best current bands in the oddly specific screamo/post-rock/post-hardcore milieu. He also works with the record label and management firm Party Smasher Inc. and spent the better part of two years on the road with The Dillinger Escape Plan as they traveled the world on their farewell tour. We talked about how love interests can guide our musical decision making for better or worse, the foolhardiness (or not?) of vocational training for the music business, and being warned not to walk around sightseeing in India.

Sellin' OutBig In Canada w/ Daniel Thomson (Sparrows)Dan Thompson sings and plays guitar in the post-hardcore band Sparrows, straight outta Ontario. Dan is Canadian but I don't hold that against him. He joined me at One Sellin' Out Plaza to provide a crucial international perspective, like how back home he and his wife could have a baby and not be in debt to a private hospital system for like 10 years but I think I cut that part out because being debt-free is extremely not punk.

Sellin' Out"It's Gotta Have A Beat, Son" w/ Michael Pfohl (Secret Stuff)Michael Pfohl is the brains behind the Tennessee-based emo band Secret Stuff, as well as a local promoter in Nashville and booking agent for other touring artists. He joined me in the studio (a.k.a. my living room a.k.a. One Sellin' Out Plaza) to discuss the legal nuances of hosting hundreds of punk shows at a place you rent, to encourage owning up to your lofty ambitions, and to convince me to invest in cryptocurrency (which I did and it has stressed me out ever since).

Sellin' Out"Serial Killer Wall" w/ Tim Williams (Ritual Apparel, ex-Our Lady)Tim Williams was the vocalist, guitarist and primary creative force behind Our Lady, a now-defunct emo band from Springfield, IL that may not have been traditionally "big" but left a lasting impression wherever they went. Now Tim and his wife Molli own and operate Ritual Apparel, a clothing company and lifestyle brand for people involved in strength sports. We talk about the transition from putting your creative efforts toward a band to focusing on a brand.
