01.23.2012 Andrew Jeffords of "Traps PS"

Podcast Shmodcast — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 05:15:44 GMT

Today, we meet Andrew Jeffords. He's had many bands in Los Angeles including Anchors for Architects and Traps PS. He's also played with The Happy HOllows, Eagle and Talon, and others.

We have a great in depth talk about his history with making music, and how he came to become such an active part of the music community here in Los Angeles.

01.18.2012 Sarah Negahdari of Pisces and The Happy HOllows!

Podcast Shmodcast — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 07:37:14 GMT

On today’s show, Octavius speaks with Sarah Negadhari of The Happy Hollows.

Sarah is one of the most charismatic and lovable people in the music scene in the country. People simply adore her, and it was really a pleasure to have a nice long talk with her.

You know how you see people at parties or clubs, and you can only talk in 3 or 4 minute intervals…….. I’ve been wanting to have this talk for about 3 or 4 years…….and it was so great to have this talk with her.

Topics include: Getting Signed/Not Signed, Sugar Ray, Lyrics about Flying, Sarah’s many living situations, being Iranian, her Favorite comedian, and the oldest memory you ever had………..AND, an unreleased track from her solo project Pisces (which she says she’s never played for ANYONE!)

As you all know, Podcast Shmodcast began as a series of interviews with Peter Choyce in Octavius’ house, then progressed to be a New Commentary show on KXLU Radio, and has morphed into many different experimental formats.

So far, I know we’ve recorded well over 120 hours of shows, starting way back in Sept 2009.

THIS Show, and the last few shows feels like a revelation to me……..a turning point if you will. I realize…….. I love people. I love conversation. And I love the people I know here in the beautiful city of Los Angeles.

So, as much as I love telling jokes, reading the news, and riffing on stuff in general…….. I’m really excited to start making more shows with long form interviews and guests.

If you know someone coming to Los Angeles doing something you really admire, please direct them to the show. It doesn’t matter if it’s creative, or a charity organization.

Thanks!
