004: "Baby, Baby" feat. Sven J. (Champaign is also a Band Podcast)

Today I’m talking to Sven, the host of CHAMPAIGN IS ALSO A BAND. His show takes a hyper-focused look at songwriters from the Champaign-Urbana music scene (past & present), & each episode tells the story of a song with the people who wrote it. HUM fans should definitely check out his interviews with RICK from POSTER CHILDREN & the guys from TERMINUS VICTOR, both linked below.He also runs a tape label called FAILED POEM RECORDS, which features local C-U musicians & donates all proceeds to a charity of the band’s choosing.In this episode, we talk about the sonic mystique of college towns, the raw materials of songwriting, & why neglected b-sides can be so important.****TIMESTAMPS:02:27 // CIAB Podcast & C-U Scene08:09 // College Town Aura12:39 // Poster Children & Terminus Victor19:46 // Sunday Songwriter Snakepit & MT Live24:16 // "Baby, Baby" Discussion****CIAB Episodes:https://champaignisalsoaband.podbean.com/e/episode-100-rick-valentin-of-poster-children-he-s-my-starhttps://champaignisalsoaband.podbean.com/e/ep127-scott-kimble-don-king-of-terminus-victor-this-isnt-realhttps://champaignisalsoaband.podbean.com/e/episode-8-isaac-arms-of-withershins-fire-flies****Failed Poem Recordshttps://failedpoemrecords.bandcamp.com/album/infringement****Other songs: Ween, "Sarah"****Support the show!**** Hosted on Acast.
