This episode was recorded a few weeks ago, but Archive.org was hacked and since that is where I host my podcasts, I wasn't able to upload this episode. I am still having issues with the site, but I'm trying an alternative here and hopefully this works. If for some reason you can't hear the audio, email me at demonicsweatersmusic@gmail.com and let me know!

Anyway, Matt Seely is a super cool guy, an animator, as well as a multi-instrumentalist living in Portland Oregon. We talked for a while and had a lot of fun!

I'll be back - technical difficulties

demonicsweatersmusic@gmail.com (Demonic Sweaters) — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 03:07:00 +0000

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the delay in getting out the next episode. Archive.org has been hacked and is not allowing uploads at the moment. This matters because that is where I host this podcast. Once they allow uploads again I have a great episode already ready to upload.

Episode 70 - Bryan Shickley (Fred Crisman Historian)

demonicsweatersmusic@gmail.com (Demonic Sweaters) — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 00:39:00 +0000

Bryan Shickley is an animator and expert on the weird world of the mysterious, Fred Crisman. Crisman can be thought of as a real-life "Smoking Man" from the X-Files. His name turns up in official documents discussing everything from UFOs, the JFK assassination, and now even 9/11! He also claimed to have battled a race of creatures who live underground on Earth called, The Deros.

Bryan wrote and animated the hilarious and award-winning short film "Fred Crisman: Cave of The Space Nazis!" that you can watch on his YouTube channel for free https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdvZ007W9DY. I highly recommend watching it and subscribing to his channel!

Episode 69 - Damon Che - Yesness

demonicsweatersmusic@gmail.com (Demonic Sweaters) — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 15:23:00 +0000

Order "See You At The Solipsist Convention" By Yesness at https://www.joyfulnoiserecordings.com/products/see-you-at-the-solipsist-convention. This episode I am honored to interview one of my favorite drummers of all time, Damon Che Fitzgerald. He has a brand new band called Yesness with an album about to drop and being released by Joyful Noise Recordings https://www.joyfulnoiserecordings.com/, as well as a US tour planned for early 2025.

The unique duo Yesness, formed by Kristian Dunn (El Ten Eleven) and Damon Che (Don Caballero), came together through astute musical matchmaking. Within a year of their first virtual meeting, their nascent project’s debut record, See You at the Solipsist Convention, was complete. Scaffolded around eight-string bass, knotty percussion, and intricate syncopation, See You at the Solipsist Convention is a carnival of delights for fans of the post-everything persuasion—uncategorizable yet reverent to the altar of instrumental rock. Album opener “Not So Sorry Now Are You” begins as a static-drenched funk bop that blossoms into a sweeping epic.

Quotes:

Damon Che: Aped the double heart throb bass drum pattern from the drummer in my dad’s band I always admired when I was a teenager. I'm glad Kristian put the piano passage in this one. It takes me back to when music was classy without even trying.

Kristian Dunn: This is one of the first songs I decided to add a bit of piano to. The part is ridiculously simple but seems to add some gravitas and still leave plenty of room for Damon to do his thing!

Episode 68 - Bryan Pocius AKA Blindhead

Cera Gibson is a very talented singer-songwriter, amateur comedian, based in Salt Lake City. In recent years she has experienced somewhat unexpected viral fame on social media platforms, largely from a certain video involving a tape measure.

Cera is a highly intelligent and interesting person to speak with. I really enjoyed our conversation.
