Episode 92: Dan Jones
Dan Jones, Dan Jones, Dan Jones.
What an absolute treat it was to meet the Squidmaster himself and chat a little bit about his life, his journey as a musician, and a few of his favorite records along the way.
Dan and I had a fantastic phone call at some point over the summer, and my gratitude for him seeing our conversation through is really firing on all cylinders. Even now, three weeks after we sat down together.
Those albums worthy enough to make Dan's cut for Episode #92 included the following:
Ozark Mountain Daredevils, self-titled (1973)
Neil Young & Crazy Horse's Zuma (1975)
Walk on the Wild Side: The Best of Lou Reed (1977)
Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime (1984)
Zen Arcade (1984), Hüsker Dü
The Meat Puppets' Up on the Sun (1985)
Alien Lanes (1995), Guided by Voices
Please consider checking out danjonesmusic.com, and give the Squids a look-see and a follow on Facebook and Instagram. You can also find their stuff on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, and YouTube.
And if you see Dan out and about on there on them crazy streets, please buy him a cup of coffee. Or a cold beer. Or a meatball grinder. I'll VenMo you if you do.
Thanks.
