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.

We close out our epic celebration of JON BRION with @andrasjones as he remembers the first time he heard of Jon and his work with #jellyfish on their record “Spilt Milk” from Mike Deneen at QDivision Studios in Boston in the early 90’s. @theworldiswrongpodcast  Link in bio.

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
