This week, Emily and Andrew are joined by guitar-driven songwriter and singer Katy Kirby, who released her debut album Cool Dry Place early this year. They three talk about guitars (big shock, huge), guitar pedals (specifically chorus pedals like the Walrus Julia), and going to liberal Christian colleges and the impact of CCM on indie songwriting.
These days, tons of artists want to know…how do I get on Spotify playlists as an artist? While there are no sure-fire ways to get on Spotify’s most valuable playlists, I have a few tips and tricks that can help.
I’ve heard from more than a few people that they really really REALLY don’t like the output jacks on the Squier Paranormal Series Cabronia Baritone Telecasters. And I have to agree…mine wasn’t exactly flush with the guitar and didn’t feel super secure. So I decided to dig in to see what was causing the issue and fix it by installing an electrosocket.
This week, Emily talks about rebuilding her pedalboard for upcoming gigs (fingers crossed) and Andrew talks about redecorating his office. The two talk about how being on the internet can lead to feelings of jealousy and how some people really doing do a great job dealing with those feelings. Then Emily explains why “just be cool” is actually super sage advice.
This week, Emily talks about her show getting cancelled due to COVID, Andrew talks about his new set of Lambertones, and the two discuss Lollar changing the name of a popular set of pickups.
I love love love my Chase Bliss Audio Benson Amps Automatone Preamp MKII…. but I don’t really want to take it out to club and outdoor gigs just yet. So I’m taking it off the gig I’d been using for live streams and am auditioning a new drive section for my Sundae Crush pedal board!
This Week, Emily and Andrew talk about staying positive and testing negative, baritone guitars, legendary songwriters, capos, and the HBO documentary about the absolute and literal dumpster fire that was Woodstock ’99.
A lot of us like to protect our instruments and keep them safe. Even if we don’t baby them, the last thing we want to see is for them to take massive tumbles from six feet up on the wall….and for a pedal shelf with some of your most expensive pedals to go with them, tumbling on top of a few valuable guitars…some of which are on loan from Gibson.
But hey, better than losing a finger!
In this video, I’ll explain why this happened to me and how you can keep it from happening to you.
The Dragonaut by Demonic Machines calls itself a Preamp / Overdrive but it’s a helluva lot more interesting than that. This pedal can take you from tame but versatile and highly shapeable overdrive sounds to pure gnar.
This week, Emily talks about shipping off a guitar, Andrew talks about his new beer/wine cooler, and the two talk about live music in the age of the Delta variant and what the future of concerts might look like (and is already shaking out to look like in Seattle).
