This week, we’re featuring a selection of songs from artists featured on STUCK. Randy Reynolds and Chris Kim do some great work over there and present some of the best bands and artists from around Texas. Starting in May, they’ll be putting out a brand new podcast, with a little production help from myself, to bring you behind the scenes of STUCK and feature some of their current projects. The first episode of STUCKcast should be available very soon, and I’m beyond excited to be producing it with them. Randy was even gracious enough to let me talk on mic a little bit, but don’t let that sour the experience for you.

Also, Paul McCartney stopped by for this episode to offer his thoughts on all of the STUCK artists.

There are certain bands that, when asked to describe them, only a single word comes to mind: infectious. There are bands that craft such catchy songs, lush with multiple harmonies and a killer melody, that you start humming along after the first few bars. When you’re at work, it sticks with you. When you’re in bed, it plays on a loop in your head. Yet, you don’t mind in the least. This past weekend, Bobby Jealousy released their debut album A Little Death to an enthusiastic crowd at the 29th St. Ballroom in Austin, TX. Before the show, they stopped by DTD HQ to talk about the new album and to sing a couple songs, “Take You On” and “Flamethrower”. They didn’t bring any instruments with them, instead they opted to play Stephanie’s accordion and toy tambourine while singing their signature 3-part harmonies.

During the hour that we recorded, the conversation went all over the place: toilet seats, the show Cupcake Wars, and cereal in the UK to name a few. To top it off, Sabrina performed an Irish dance that we captured on video. Look for a bonus episode next week of a few snippets of our conversation that didn’t make it into this episode.

If you like this episode, or the show in general, please do us the favor of giving us a rating and writing a quick review in iTunes. It will take less than a minute and makes a huge difference for us as we try to grow Dual Tape Deck and provide more great, unique content of bands that deserve greater recognition.
