About this episode
Today we celebrate the release of the new All Smiles record Skate Videos From Memory (out January 6). Jim Fairchild (Grandaddy, Modest Mouse) and Joe discuss the visual inspiration behind the record and how skate videos shaped the sound. They talk about the impact that skate culture has had on not only their own music, but their general mindset and approach to life. We learn why the new record is a prayer to the universe, why Jim and Joe are celebrating more reflexive music and they muse on why rock music maybe be taking a less cerebral turn. The two highlight their favorite skate videos, Jim shares a fanboy moment, and we hear some songs for the new record.ALL SMILESSKATE VIDEOS FROM MEMORY Streets on FireWelcome To HellHokus PokusSPECIAL REQUEST FROM JOE ..."if you like this podcast, please s
