6: Kelly Kelbel of Make Noise + Nathanael talks Miles Davis

We're psyched to bring you a new episode of STICKER & SLEEVE, the Harvest Records podcast! In our first episode in a year and a half (!!!) we sit down with Karly Hartzman of the band Wednesday. We discuss taking the leap into music full-time and how a series of chance meetings (coupled with a steadfast determination to make music) paved the way for Karly's musical career. Wednesday is on tour now and their most recent release, Twin Plagues, is available everywhere (including Harvest Records, of course).

You'll also hear co-hosts Mark Capon and Annelise Kopp reflect on the past year, share some musical takeaways, and catch us up to speed on the shop and state of vinyl. Annelise also quizzes Mark on an ever-more-obscure geographical topic (with a fun twist). Find the latest episode on Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Thanks for listening, friends!

Annelise and Mark are back with the second episode of Sticker and Sleeve of 2020! We took a short break to focus on in-store happenings and are excited to get the pod back in full swing. Joining us for this episode we have special guest Kelly Kelbel, co-founder of Make Noise. She tells the tale of the modular synthesizer company’s growth from a tiny in-house operation in Marshall to an international boutique synth powerhouse based in West Asheville (across the street from Harvest!). Hear about their journey from Chicken Alley to creating instruments used by folks you may have heard of, including Thom Yorke and Aphex Twin. Staff guest Nathanael paints a beautiful portrait explaining why a particular Miles Davis song speaks to him deeply, and repeatedly. AK quizzes Mark on his rock geography again and finally throws him a coupla curveballs. Complete with actual music this episode! Have a listen!

Sticker and Sleeve kicks off 2020 with a bang as Annelise and Mark get deep with Emily Peele from High Five Coffee. In lieu of *actual* coffee talk, they instead dive into the thoughts, intentions and work behind the ethics and messaging of a small business. Mark and Kim Roney reminisce about their wild ride playing in the backing band for legend Sixto Rodriguez, from a sold-out Grey Eagle (11 years ago this week!) up to a sold-out Radio City Music Hall a few years later. And Annelise gets put to the test on samples used in Kanye West songs - how will she fair? Listen to find out!

In the fourth installment of Sticker and Sleeve and the final episode of 2019, Mark and Annelise start off deconstructing the good AND bad of the rampant year-end lists we all encounter this time of year. Jon and Amanda Hency, co-owners of one of our favorite music venues anywhere, sit down and discuss what it's like to run a club as a married couple, what the future looks like for The Mothlight, and how they got into this whole business in the first place. And we introduce a brand new segment, "Story Time with Steve Piano", a glimpse into the mind and experiences of one of the wildest customers we know.

In the third episode of Sticker and Sleeve, Mark and Annelise loosen up a bit and sit down with John Henry Gloyne of Serpent and The Rainbow Tattoo to talk music, marching to the beat of your own drum, his experience growing up (and now raising kids!) Cherokee, and the value of having a cool older sister and a supportive mom. Harvest co-owner Matt Schnable pops in to reminisce about his days living above Harvest Records with Mark, tell us what to expect this RSD Black Friday, and test his memory of bands Harvest brought to town. Will Matt remember details from shows he booked up to 13 years ago? Find out on this week's Sticker and Sleeve.

This week on Sticker and Sleeve, Tarleton Walmsley of Garden Party joins us to talk activism through business, being a part of the community, the 240 highway expansion, and, of course, demystifying and sharing the benefits of CBD. Harvest employee Newt Pal also makes an appearance to share stories of their recent travels to Japan. Hosts Mark Capon and Annelise Kopp introduce two new segments, one highlighting notable happenings in Harvest history, and the other putting Mark's music trivia prowess to the test. How will he fare? You'll have to listen to find out.

For our inaugural episode, Annelise and Mark brilliantly mumble their way through Harvest news and updates while making plenty of promises to get better and to become more professional in future podcasting. Luckily they're saved by a rather enlightening conversation with Greg Cartwright (Reigning Sound, The Oblivians, a true 45 head amongst many other titles) about his history running his own record store in Memphis, his move to Asheville in the early 2000s, how he got involved in helping at Harvest, what it means to be an established musician currently, and how he REALLY LOVES social media. JK on that last part.
