How Did Chris Appelgren Get Here?

from Spinning Platters presents: How Did I Get Here? Hosted by Spinning Platters

In this episode I got to talk with Bay Area music legend Chris Appelgren. We talked about many of his bands, including Bumblescrump (sadly not getting into exactly what this word means), The Potatomen, and The Peechees. We also discussed his rising through the ranks at Lookout Records, and even talked about its inevitable decline. And, of course, we talked about his time at Noise Pop, Bold Italic, and Ticketfly, as well as his return to the record business by helping Once And Future Band release their 2020 album Deleted Scenes. We never discussed on the podcast, but here is a link to Mouth Magazine & Records, another project Chris has been working on! And if you liked hearing Chris speak, you'll love to hear him and his friends sing! Here is a playlist of some select artists / songs we talked about on the podcast!
