Named a "Best New Podcast" in 2024 by Vulture. A documentary chronicling the 2024 Los Angeles Dodgers baseball season, from start to finish, by writer, documentarian, and lifelong Dodger fan Richard Parks III. For fans, casual fans, and non-fans alike. "Perfectly inside-the-outside." (Aquarium Drunkard) "This is no simple sports-recap podcast. Instead, each episode plays a bit like a dispatch from a foreign land — in this case Dodgers fandom — in which a local correspondent (that would be Pa ...

"...I'm your toy, I'm your old boy." Country-fried Los Angeles outfit Caravan 222 continue to put the honk in the tonk. For their Lagniappe Session, the septet works up stalwart '70s British pub-rockers Brinsley Schwarz's "Country Girl," Danny O'Keefe's 1972 chestnut "I'm Sober Now," and a faithful rendition of Gram's "Hot Burrito #1." The post The…

Let's just say https://www.leroybach.com/ provides some excellent information on the man, including how to contact him for music lessons, which he is currently offering. (The lessons page, specifically, is here.) The Mares (plus other guests and listeners) are very big fans of his work on A Ghost is Born, this track being a highlight. LeRoy has rec…

This week on the show, we're pleased to present a conversation with Matt Sweeney. He’s lived a truly dazzling life in music.

If you’ve been listening to Transmissions for a while, you've noticed how often host Jason P. Woodbury brings up “time” when talking about music. And while he's certainly apt to talk about music in spiritual or "out there" terms, songs are in some ways literal time machines: they can take you back to your own past or in the case of traditional musi…

This week on Transmissions, we're sitting down with a genuine legend: Joe Boyd, author of And The Roots of Rhythm Remain: A Journey Through Global Music, out September 24 from ZE Books. On the front cover of the book Brian Eno—a venerated saint in the Aquarium Drunkard canon—declares: “I doubt I’ll ever read a better account of the history and soci…

This week on Transmissions, the return of Leah Toth, aka Amelia Courthouse. She was last here on the podcast in its earlier, more feral incarnation—and by feral we mean "updated with elss regularity"—but back in 2018 she reviewed Shinya Fukumori Trio’s incredible ECM release For 2 Akis. We've wanted to have Leah back on ever since, and this now we'…

From early mystic folk inclinations to more fried and psychedelic work, Ben Chasny's Six Organs of Admittance project has never settled into an easy, definable zone. But 2024 sees the Six Organs sonic universe expanding kaleidoscopically, even by Chasny's prodigious standards. First was Time Is Glass, an album that documented his return to Humboldt…

On Friday night in Arizona, after giving up a homerun to Corbin Carroll, Clayton Kershaw unceremoniously walked off the mound, into the dugout, and disappeared into the darkened tunnel to the visiting clubhouse. And I remember thinking, "I might have just watched Clayton Kershaw throw the last pitch of his Hall of Fame career."…

Welcome back to Transmissions, our weekly conversational offering. On today's show? Nashville’s own Rich Ruth. Opening his review of Ruth’s latest, the Third Man Records LP Water Still Flows, Aquarium Drunkard’s Brent Sirota states: “We don’t even have a name for what has been going on in instrumental music lately. There’s plainly some kind of new …

This week, we have an exceedingly rare interview with Jason Martin, of California dream pop band Starflyer 59.

Mookie Betts — the dapper and diminutive darling of the 2024 Dodgers — returns! After almost two months away with a broken hand. But why isn’t Mookie bedding down with his teammates on their road trip? Turns out this superstar spurns the supernatural.

This week on Transmissions, return guest Yasmin Williams. On October 4th, she releases Acadia via Nonesuch Records. It's her long awaited follow up to 2021's Urban Driftwood, and like that record, it's beautiful—a showcase for a one-of-a-kind artist. And while the focus remains Williams' fluid and lyrical guitarwork, she's joined by a roster of rin…

Sometimes, background music moves to the foreground. That’s the case with today’s guests, guitarist Zac Sokolow, bassist Jake Faulkner, and drummer Nicholas Baker. Together, they form LA LOM, short for the Los Angeles League of Musicians. In 2019, they were hired to bring suitably vibey music to the lobby of the historic Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywoo…
