from No Outlet · host Ethan Jule
Folks, we have an extremely special guest for this episode! As you all know, I am extremely passionate about music and our guest, Michael Goldwasser has produced music for Yoko Ono, Jason Mraz, Matisyahu, Steel Pulse, Third World, Toots and the Maytals, Kelly Clarkson and many more. He is the mastermind and cofounder of Easy Star Records and the Easy Star All Stars. He developed a unique musical genre - taking classic albums and re-imagining them as reggae. His production "Dub Side of the Moon", a reggae version of Pink Floyd’s "Dark Side of the Moon", is one of the best-selling Reggae releases of 21st Century, and has been praised by Pink Floyd guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour...not to mention his re-works of Sgt. Peppers, Thriller and OK computer! He has also composed works for the Big Bang theory, CSI NY, Dr. Who, Hawaii 5 -O, Prison Break and True Hollywood Story. Bottom line = he is an amazing talent, and we were super excited to have him on the show. We talked about his love of the New Jersey Nets, indifference to interdimensional beings, the importance of open/positive thoughts, what it was like to impress Thom Yorke, his newest creation "Ziggy Stardub" a re-make of the David Bowie Classic "Ziggy Stardust", his first concert experience (you'll be surprised), his favorite concert ever, the wonders of owning a "Discman", his support for Sarcasm being added to all AI bots, the process of getting Artists to work with him on recreating their classics, he kindly provides his Mount Rushmore of Records, talks about his favorite new artists, the importance of forgetting about Jersey Shore, his memories of a College DJ at WKCR and the upcoming release (and tour) of Ziggy Stardub (April 21st!!!)
