#42 Phish Edish part 2 with Kevin Statesir

After a long hiatus we are back and phishier then ever! Over the break I was able to write 3 comics that appeared in the “Ball Street Journal” at Phish’s Magnaball festival. That was cool. You can check those comix out or buy a print of them HERE. That inspired me to do another Phish Edish’ complete with deep cuts, sit-ins, solo projects and tons of awesome stuff from deep in the vaults. Also in this edition we get to speak to Kevin Statesir co-owner of Higher Ground in S. Burlington Vt and Phish family member. We talk about his roots, the amazing 8 Foot Fluorescent Tubes show that helped open HG in 98’ and about what makes HG so special. So check it out, there’s more rare and weird Phish then you can trigger a Blastoplast at.

#41 with David Gans

 

This week we celebrate the Grateful Dead’s 50th anniversary by talking to the host of ‘The Grateful Dead Hour,” David Gans. We’ll explore the far-reaching corners of the Dead archives by exploring interpretations of the Dead’s music through out history.  We got to talking, and we found out that the heart and soul of the Dead is really the heart and soul of what Bobby called “misfit power.” Fifty years later here we are, “Fare Thee Well” is about to happen heralding the end of “The Grateful Dead.” What legacy has the Grateful Dead left?  How has The Grateful Dead changed American music forever?  Find out this week on Cosmic Lion Radio.

#40 with Kevin Eastman

Cosmic Lion Radio is back.  This week was a real mind blow.  We have Kevin Eastman, yeah that Kevin Eastman, co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I feel super lucky to have gotten this amazing moment to chat with one of the creators of this property that is, and has been, so near to my heart. We get to quickly chat about everything, where he came from, TMNT, new projects, and even his favorite music.   We learn the music that shaped the old Mirage days and also what he is listening to now.  Also in this episode, major exclusive peaks into the new Monkelion comic on the way out.  Hope you all enjoy this episode with Kevin Eastman, and his "music picks."  Until next time…

#38 with Guy Bickel

This week we are on location with Guy Bickel.  Guy is a sound engineer who has toured the world with some of the biggest and best touring acts that have ever graced our ears. Frank Zappa, Bootsy Collins, Cameo, Diana Ross, Mother’s Finest and more.  He was also the bass player from the Cleveland Ohio Space rock band Pi Corp.  During our talk Guy and I spoke about many things, touring, favorite shows, and what it was like to see Pink Floyd at their psychedelic peak.  Guy even played me some recordings of these great artists he made while they were on the road.  These are one of a kind jams from deep in his archive.   We talked for a good 2 hours so I will present this in 2 episodes that I have titled, “The Sound Guy Chronicles.”  Enjoy!!
