59 Chris Ballew of The Presidents

March 18, 2019Podcast

We had the honor of speaking with Chris Ballew for this week’s episode! If you don’t know who Chris Ballew is, I will tell you: He is the lead singer, song writer, and multi-instrumentalist for The Presidents of the United States of America (the band), whose hugely successful and relentlessly fun debut album came out in 1995, so jen missed it. 

We talked with Chris about this album, his time as a member of Beck’s band, that time he almost killed Madonna’s dog, the real story behind the song “Peaches,” and of course his new career as a family musician, which was really always his career if you think about it. 

Come listen to our local Seattle legend, Chris Ballew!!

Warning: The music clips are loud in this one. Because that’s how they’re properly heard! Deal with it!

And check out Chris’ newer work as Caspar Babypants here!

58 James’ Playlist Side B

March 11, 2019Podcast

Our friend and podcasting enthusiast James Anderson invited himself onto our show to do a playlist back when we first started this thing, so we figured we would let him come on so he would get off our asses about it already.

I am of course joking. Last week we listened to Side A and this week we finish up with Side B of James’ Playlist!

57 James’ Playlist Side A

Our friend and podcasting enthusiast James Anderson invited himself onto our show to do a playlist back when we first started this thing, so we figured we would let him come on so he would get off our asses about it already.

I am of course joking. We had a blast, aside from that time he made us listen to Blues Traveler.

Come along as we dissect some of James’ favorite songs from the ’90s!
