Folk U 27: Eek A Mouse
Hey Mon! Long time no show posting. Been taking a break to recharge the juices. This episode was recorded about a month ago. Mark was a no call no show so Patton and I solve the world's problems on our own without Mark's supervision.

26: She Was Born In Decatur
Comedy, music and books oh my. A shift has occurred: Episode 1 started a comedy-themed series until I unknowingly started taking myself too seriously. The ALBUMSODE, while a fun project, took the seriousness to the extreme and now it's time to chill the folk out. So recline your seat, identify...

25 Helix First Ascent
I did it. I took a huge leap of faith hoping it would pan out. I traded in all of my guitar FX pedals to purchase the pedal board to end all purchases: The Line 6 Helix. I run all instruments directly into this thing and can add FX to everything -- electric, acoustic, bass, OP-1 synthesizer and…

24 ALBUMSODE
Subjected to heavy editing cuts to minimize the pre-song loops, I set forth on a quest to make up and record as many songs as possible in one sitting. The goal was to record music good enough to cut up the tracks and post songs on iTunes. While the notion was noble, the execution was nothing more...
-
23: I’m Seeing Da Bulls
We discuss the ALBUMSODE which will be recorded in its entirety next Winsday. The first of its kind (as far as we know) where an entire album is recorded in one take, one sitting, all improv and all in one podcast- of course subject to editing in the aftermath. Mark and Patton try to give the...

Deuce Deuce: Firm Leather

17: Ode to Somango
Mark and I reintroduce Patton as our third amigo. We all hang out laughing until Mark mysteriously disappears into the night. Patton and I jam and gab the rest of the time. In memory of Somango, Patton's puppy. We run into a few audio and technical glitches in this episode, but we our quality...

Holy cow! This week we take a few requests about forgetful women, a shout out to none other than Dan Whiskey (who owes me a few drinks by the way), maintaining a sense of calm while internally freaking out, and wrap it up with a few cover songs by Tribe Called Quest and Bob Marley. I sing the…

Mark presents a new segment. Matt reacts accordingly. Missing turtles, babies on feet, whiskey, defying death, things I'll never admit and more.

I set up my loop pedals and add the electric and bass. Some interesting requests. I can't be held responsible. Warning: extra long episode.
