(leave) nelson b joins The J-Card Podcast to talk sampling ethics, Lonely Ghost Records, and a mixtape full of deep cuts.Nelson has been part of the Lonely Ghost Records family almost since the label started, first as a solo artist, then through his ongoing collaboration with Superdestroyer (Nelson Comes to Visit, Negative Thoughts About Myself and People I Love Dearly). In this episode we get into his time in the military, why he refuses to sample anyone who doesn’t own their own masters, his first ever experience with sampling, and much more!More on IG:@leave_nelson_b https://www.instagram.com/leave_nelson_b/ The J-Card is presented by Rue Defense Tape Club, a quarterly, mail-order cassette compilation and DIY audio project. Each episode is part music discovery, part oral history, part hangout show. We ask artists, musicians, filmmakers, and other music-minded folks to build us their own personal mixtape and talk about the moments and memories that inspired it.New episodes drop here and wherever you get your podcasts.
