Episode 21 - New Year's Eve 2018 Experiment
Wednesday Jan 09, 2019
Wednesday Jan 09, 2019
I believe art of any kind, should be wrought with chance operation and experiment. I also believe that podcasting is an art. With that spirit in mind, I give to you, an odd experiment I presented to the guests at my house on New Year's Eve. I set up all my podcasting gear, hit "play" on my Spotify "Your Top Songs of 2018" playlist automatically made for me by the all-knowing gods at Spotify, and invited my guests to take part, without me.
After some heavy editing of approximately 8 hours of audio, I widdled it down to the cream of the crop. Join me in listening to various people, from various age groups, reacting to a randomly generated playlist that they can only hear, not see. If you have listened to past episodes, some voices will be familiar, and others will be new.

Episode 20 - with guest Don Anderson (KHôRADA, Sculptured, ex-Agalloch)

Don Anderson needs no introduction. He is the mastermind behind Prog Metal mainstays Sculptured, the guitarist for KHôRADA and perhaps best known for wielding the guitar for Agalloch for 20 years. Don is also a college professor, a snappy dresser, a beer snob and one of my absolute closest friends.
Today Don and I talk obscure 90's death metal, share some current music, as well as revisit our past in Agalloch and recount our memories regarding the making of Agalloch's "From Which of this Oak" demo. Don closes out this episode with an acoustic rendition of an Agalloch classic.

Jesse Greene is a pretty fascinating character. He's an artist, an Entomologist, he's a collector and most importantly, he's a music lover. Jesse is a dedicated fan, and a generous friend. Today he brought some bugs over and we shared music, we shared some beer and we discussed how he helped make an impact on the Sacramento scene during his youth.

Aesop Dekker. One of my favorite people on the planet. I have toured through countless countries with this man, and shared countless beers and stories. I have suffered with him, and I have rejoiced with him. Aesop is a monster drummer, and a generous soul. I was very excited to have him join me and geek out about obscure music.

My daughter Ione Mira Walton. What else can be said? She has suspect taste in music for sure, but she is probably cooler than you. She appeared on the inside cover of Metal Manaics at the age of 3, she has appeared on records by Self Spiller, Snares of Sixes and even Nachtmystium. Her middle name is a bastardization of Mirai from Sigh. Yeah, she's cool, so listen to what she and I play for each other and witness how annoying we can be together.
