Episode 69: Jesse Kates
If you ever wanna feel stupid or not crisp-and-clear, have a conversation with Jesse Kates of The Sexy Accident.
Wow.
I've been lucky to have a ton of tremendous and amazing people join me for episodes of the Badass Records podcast, but this guy...he just -- as the kids say -- hits different.
You should -- were you so inclined -- check out his bandcamp, buy some of his merch', keep tabs on when his outfit's giggin' next, etc.
Really great stuff.
Jesse and I talked about a number of things, included in which were -- of course -- a few of his favorite albums. I botched things a touch, but they were these, nonetheless:
Seamonsters, The Wedding Present (1991)
The Cure's Wish (1992)
Icky Mettle by Archers of Loaf (1993)
Long Fin Killie's Houdini (1995)
1972, Josh Rouse (2003), and
Quadiliacha's Es Muerto (1997) (the one I botched)
I hope you'll check out this chat; I thought it was awesome, but then again...I always do.
Cheers.
