Ed Valauskas

At the beginning of the year @theworldiswrongpodca At the beginning of the year @theworldiswrongpodcast shared this story about Mike Denneen and Jon Brion and Jellyfish and Spilt Milk and the tension between paying tribute and blazing a new path... in control rooms and recording studios all over the planet folks hunt for familiar sounds and invent their own... there are no rules.

Happy 20th Anniversary to Josie + the Pussycats! Getting the chance to work alongside some of the greatest songwriters and filmmakers and to be the voice of the glorious @rachaelleighcook was the weirdest, funnest experience of my career. Snaps to @stereogum for giving this whole production the propers it deserves 😸

Disco Inferno. It may not have the cache of Zelda’s, Narcissus, or even Cache in the city but Summavll could get down at Surrey after a bite at the Rosebud. While the Rat boasted a row of pay phones outside, this spot offered just one. #surreydisco #rosebuddiner #davissquare #1970s #disco #getdowntonight #dirtyoldboston
