Also, I’m curious about how you guys like this type of interview show as opposed to the regular musiconly type shows. Does the sound of the city add a nice ambiance or do the honking horns make you want to chew ground glass. I would love some feedback! Thanks!

Gavin Castleton joins me on this episode of MikeyPod to talk about his latest full length, Home. I am so excited to share this interview with you because I am just amazed by this album, even more so after talking to Gavin about his process. Listen to the show, and then buy it and tell all of your friends. This shit needs to be heard! Many thanks, as always, to my sweet cyber-soulmate, Angela Poe, both for turning me on to Gavin’s music and for arranging the interview.

On a very special episode of MikeyPod, the musical improv group Veal kindly let me sit in on one of their rehearsals. We talk about their process for creating musical comedy on the fly, they take me through their warm up process and create an opening number before my very eyes.

Please accept my apologies for the heinous sound quality during the song Holy Water. Yeah, sound is bad, but it was too hilarious to cut from the show.

Find out more about Veal on Facebook, MySpace and YouTube or see them live on Dec 13th at 10:30 at under St. Marks

I got to chat with Paul Doucette (Matchbox Twenty) in the bluhammock music office this afternoon about his new project The Break and Repair Method. Here lies our conversation, along with a few tracks off the album which won’t be available till Sept 16th.

Music:
You Won’t Be Able To Be Sad
This City (Is Bound To Do Us In)
Life Gets Beautful

Many thanks to Ralph Cutler and Christina Duren from Ariel Publicity for setting everything up for me!

In other news, I have decided to make MikeyPod a weekly music only podcast. In the next month or so I will be setting up another podcast feed for everything else. This last year or so in NYC has been such a learning time for me, and a struggle in so many ways, but at last I am feeling like I am where I want to be– loving the city and ready to get my activist self moving again. It always felt so awkward to try to cover both passions in one place: music and social justice. Many times the two intersect, of course, but it makes more sense to me to branch out in this way. Stay Tuned!

p.s. Don’t forget about Meat Free Radio for all of your vegan and vegetarian needs.

Jamie Moffett joins me today to discuss his film The Ordinary Radicals.

About the film:

In the margins of the United States, there lives a revolutionary Christianity. One with a quiet disposition that seeks to do “small things with great love,” and in so doing is breaking 21st Century stereotypes surrounding this 2000 year old faith. The Ordinary Radicals is set against thie modern American political and social backdrop of the next Great Awakening. Traveling across the United States on a tour to promote the book Jesus for President, Shane Claiborne and a rag-tag group of “ordinary radicals” interpret Biblical history and its correlation with the current state of American politics. Sharing a relevant outlook for people with all faith perspectives, director Jamie Moffett examines this growing movement.

This afternoon, I interviewed filmmaker Jamie Moffett about his upcoming film The Ordinary Radicals. The topic of Christianity and Homosexuality came up, which prompted him to send me this clip from the film. It is part of an interview with with author/ speaker/ general bad-ass Shane Claiborne.

Look for my interview with Jamie on Monday.
