Is it the Art, Image or Marketing? Great Interrupters & an Analog Story

The Downward Facing Spiritual Spiral

Over the last 8 months, I've been working on a bunch of new music to the point where I have five songs that are done. I'm beyond thrilled and I CAN NOT wait for people to hear these songs. But then my head spins to that exhausting head space of marketing, social media, making videos and then I wonder, what does it take to break through the cultural noise. Which then leads me to the bigger question... Is art REALLY about the quality of the art anymore? Today on the Spiritual Spiral, a three part episode where I begin by discussing the battle between art, image and dwindling attention spans. I also play a clip from a recent Marc Maron podcast where his incredible guest, Amanda Seales, talks about the differences between stand up comedy and the music biz. In segment two, I talk about interrupting! I was listening to a recent Bill Maher and Marc Maron podcast and I couldn't help but notice how often they both interrupt their guests and talk all over them. Have podcasts simply become another outlet for the host to talk about themselves? And finally, I end by sharing an "analog" story where I discover a friend of mine is having a baby. I didn't find out through social media or by text but by overhearing a real-life conversation. As always, thanks so much for listening to the show and being so incredibly supportive.
