  • Настоящий хит-парад

    Гитаристу «Арии» Владимиру Холстинину отменили визу и не пустили на гастроли в США

    У группы «Ария» стартовал тур по США. Гастроли приурочены к 40-летию коллектива. Города, надо сказать, подобраны со вкусом: Лос-Анджелес, Сан-Франциско, Сиэтл, Чикаго, Нью-Йорк, Вашингтон и Майами. Казалось бы, должно получиться идеальное турне. Но не тут-то было. Далее рассказывают сами музыканты: Более полугода наш менеджмент занимался подготовкой к этим гастролям. Процесс получения разрешения на въезд в США был очень сложным, но в конце концов всё получилось — вся наша команда получила визы! Однако уже на старте всё пошло не так гладко, как хотелось… К великому сожалению, нам пришлось начать тур без Владимира Холстинина. Досадная новость о том, что Володя не сможет принять участие в этих концертах, настигла нас прямо при посадке на рейс из Стамбула в Лос-Анджелес — Владимиру сообщили, что его виза аннулирована и во въезде в США отказано. Он был вынужден отправиться домой в Москву. Причину произошедшего мы не знаем до сих пор — американская сторона, выдавшая единый пакет виз всей группе, менеджменту и персоналу, пока не ответила на наши вопросы, хотя мы пытаемся связаться с ней ежечасно. Хотите больше интервью с крутыми музыкантами, необычные каверы и харизматичный хит-парад с Александром Анатольевичем и Александром Нуждиным? Подписывайтесь на новые выпуски и слушайте, когда удобно!

  • Drummers on Drumming

    Big Fat Five: Jason McGerr (Death Cab for Cutie)

    This week on Drummers on Drumming, I’m revisiting a conversation I had with Jason McGerr back in 2021. Jason has been the drummer for Death Cab for Cutie since 2002. He’s also a longtime teacher, session player, and engineer. This was originally a Big Fat Five episode. For anyone unfamiliar with the format, I ask drummers to choose five records that shaped how they approach the instrument. It’s less about ranking favorites and more about tracing their musical DNA. I went back and reworked this conversation for the current feed because it’s too good to leave buried in the archive. In this episode: Jason's obsession with collecting practice pads and how each surface can change the way his hands respond What Jason wants every student feeling after a lesson What joining Death Cab taught him that books and practice rooms couldn’t Learning to frame drum parts around songs and lyrics Why a drummer's sound can be responsible for half of the feel The value of happy accidents and leaving some rough edges in a recording Making odd-time grooves feel natural Why becoming a better drummer sometimes requires playing fewer notes and listening more Jason’s Five Choices: Artist - Talk Talk Album - Laughing Stock Release Year - 1991 Key Track - “Ascension Day” Drummer - Lee Harris Artist - Can Album - Tago Mago Release Year - 1971 Key Track - “Mushroom” Drummer - Jaki Liebezeit Artist - Led Zeppelin Album - Led Zeppelin IV Release Year - 1971 Key Track - “Four Sticks” Drummer - John Bonham Artist - Soundgarden Album - Badmotorfinger Release Year - 1991 Key Track - “Jesus Christ Pose” Drummer - Matt Cameron Artist - Jon Hopkins Album - Immunity Release Year - 2013 Key Track - “Abandon Window” Drummer - No drummer If you enjoy the show, please rate and review it wherever you listen!

    Transmissions :: Adam Voith

    Our guest this week is author Adam Voith, whose new novel, RIYL, short for "Recommended If You Like," is an at times thinly veiled memoir of the '90s Christian punk and indie scene. With echoes of Get in the Van and Freaks and Geeks, RIYL threads that delicate needle of looking back at earnest teenage corn doggery with warts and all embarrassment, tempered by the type of affection that only time and distance allow all of us. It's also frequently flat out hilarious. Just as the bands in RIYL became the improbable secret history of mainstream mainline indie music—Sufjan Stevens, Father John Misty, and Pedro the Lion, just to name a few—Adam went on to become a lifer in both the literary and music scenes between his influential zine, Little Engines, and decades spent as a top booking agent. Jason Woodbury and Andrew Horton caught up with Adam mid-book tour to talk about the novel, our shared history as "Christian music dorks," and much more. Hosted on Acast.
