Episode 490: Lou Barlow
On today's episode, I talk to musician Lou Barlow. Originally from Ohio, Lou formed his first band Deep Wound in 1982, while attending high school in western Massachusetts. Deep Wound's drummer was J Mascis, and when that band broke up, Lou and J formed Dinosaur, later to become Dinosaur Jr. The early years of the band were acclaimed but tumultuous, and after their third album, he was asked to leave the band. Lou then turned his attention to his other band Sebadoh, his side project Sentridoh, and later his other group Folk Implosion. Throughout the years, these projects - including Dinosaur Jr. - have all waxed and waned, but most recently, Lou recorded songs for Dinosaur Jr.'s latest album Sweep It Into Space, which was released in April, and his own solo album, Reason to Live, which was released at the end of May on Joyful Noise!

Juliana Hatfield - Part 1
Juliana Hatfield is a legendary musician of the bands Blake Babies, The Lemonheads, Minor Alps, The I Don't Cares, and The Juliana Hatfield Three (their song "Spin the Bottle" was part of the soundtrack for the iconic film Reality Bites) and has a thriving solo career, as well. Her career was born out of a music scene she helped to shape in the 80s and 90s with fellow trailblazers like The Pixies, Dinosaur Jr, and more. In part one of this episode, LG chats with Juliana about her trajectory, the rock music scene of that era, and her songwriting/recording process.

S2E37, Part 1: Patrick O'Malley on His Political Awakening in San Francisco
Patrick O'Malley started playing guitar at an early age. But it wasn't until his time in Santa Barbara that his music took on a new meaning for him—one of political activism.
In this podcast, Patrick talks about growing up in Southern California and his arrival in San Francisco in the late-1990s. Among other things, he points to the write-in mayoral candidacy of Tom Ammiano in 1999 that really sparked something in him.
Patrick will be playing tonight (Aug. 13) at Simple Pleasures Café. You can find his latest record, Welcome to the End of the Empire, on BandCamp.
Check back Thursday for Part 2, when Patrick will talk more about politics in San Francisco, the state, and the U.S.
