Joni Mitchell Tribute:
with Calico

From ANDRAS JONES: To bring this episode to a close we come to the Joni question. We tried to get the great lady herself to furnish us with a query but she’s obviously not an easy person to get to. In lieu of a her question we asked The Pop Oracle for Joni’s message for […]

Tobias The Owl

From ANDRAS JONES: DUNCAN BYARGEON of the band Deify and the “Made For Music” podcast joins us at Clatter & Din in Seattle for a Pop Oracle session with TOBIAS THE OWL that explores the motivations for the making of music. There is a very different feel to this entire episode that I think says […]

Marc Platt
&
Marvin Etzioni

From ANDRAS JONES: When MARVIN ETZIONI gave me his list of potential guests for his show I was pleased to see the name MARC PLATT but not for the reasons I was ultimately glad he was on the show. It’s factor of our times that we may think we know someone from the world of […]

Tammy T
on KAOS

From ANDRAS JONES: This visit to the Radio8Vault reveals several aspects of our history that inform the creation of the Pop Oracle format, while remaining mostly hidden to the majority of our current audience. Which is why I feel compelled to include it here. I’ want you to experience the languid pace we used to […]

When Petty died, it seemed obvious that we should devote that spot to tributing his music. So first I […]

Feisty Heart

From ANDRAS JONES: DANNY HASSEL is one of my Nightmare on Elm Street co-stars. His question is masquerading as a joke. But is it?  BLACK SUNSET I made amends with the machine Do what I need to grab some green I’m gonna ride I’m gonna ride I’m gonna ride I’m gonna ride into a pretty […]

John Doe
&
Feisty Heart

From ANDRAS JONES: This episode with FEISTY HEART was already pretty special when, at the last minute, Stuart looked at his phone and said, “I think John’s ready to do it”. John, in this case, being JOHN DOE of the band X who, just that very day were being honored by the city of Los […]

John Easdale

From ANDRAS JONES: Having John as the musical guest for this show was a kind of completion for me after living inside one of his songs for so many years. Though it’s tempting for his question to invite speculation about his life I prefer to project myself into it and think about the things I […]

Joshua Prince
Live in Joshua Tree

May 22, 2008 – Joshua Tree, California John Trudell was one of the truly great ones. I got to know him when he was a touring poet, after his years as the spokesman for the American Indian Movement in a battle against the U.S. government for sovereignty and dignity that would cost him dearly. By […]
