Episode 14: Time and Energy

Time and Energy are a duo of multi-instrumentalists hailing from the North Orange County area. Their music ranges from electronic to acoustic and it is possible that they are incapable of producing a dull moment. Join us as we talk about positive and negative stress, strange gear, and gender illusions.

Episode 13: Old Toy Trains

Bo Chung and David Greening from Old Toy Trains stop at the Shady Time Station for a (mostly) quiet chat. We discuss our favorite sound technicions in the area, guitars, and what it means to be a musician with a day job. Bo has also worked as the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson's assistant, and shares a special experience he had with that most notable of men. Listen closely to hear the softest high five of all time.

Episode 12: SNACKTIME

If listening to this podcast is half as much fun as it was to make it, then you'll love this. Of course, It's entirely possible that this will come across as a lot of yelling and nonsense. Jessica, Will, Darren, and a host of other characters join us for some unknowable reason. One thing's for sure, though, you want to get in on this sneak peak of Snack Time's upcoming record. You're welcome.

Episode 10: Damin Suarez of Go West Young Man

Here's everything you've ever wanted to know about Go West Young Man's lead singer/multi-instrumentalist, Damin Suarez. Well, actually we ended a little early when we get distracted with the idea of peanut butter shakes. Before that, though, we learn about his writing process, guitars, cables, you know, good stuff.

Episode 8: Crazy Tomes

On episode 8, we interview a man who has seen the world and elsewhere, the one and only Crazy Tomes. We talk about how Little Richard gave Tomes his name and some of his favorite gigs. Tomes plays us some unreleased tracks, tells us about the LA blues scene and even plays us some live tracks right here at the Station. And on an almost completely unrelated note, Josh talks about how he uses the moon in his personal life.
