Snacky Tunes

It's Coachella time! Just before the world descends on Indio, CA, for two weekends of music and dancing, we sit down with Nic Adler, Goldenvoice's culinary director, to talk about the festival's delicious food lineup. The feast continues with Winstons, a garage-soul duo out of Virginia, residing in Brooklyn. They do love songs, blue songs, and dance songs with drums, guitar, harmonies, and a harmonica. Their live show is raw and earnest, with a dynamic juxtaposing devotion and depravity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

EPISODE 300!! To celebrate this milestone we're joined by our dear friends Kerry Diamond and Claudia Wu of Cherry Bombe Magazine. It's their annual visit with us, and they're here to tell us all about the expanded Cherry Bombe Jubilee. We're then visited by Shane Conerty, aka Color Collage, a project that was initially based on sampling mp3's of brand new indie music that Conerty found on blogs and making unique, original remixes of them. The current focus of the project is taking the indie pop songwriting aspects of Conerty's former band, Now You See Them, and applying them to the mid-fi, dusty electronic sound of Color Collage. We want to say thanks to everyone who's been on, supported and tuned into Snacky Tunes over the last eight years. We couldn't have made it to #300 without you!!!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
