#20: Abermals – Reasons to Travel song by song
<p>Episode 20: Abermals</p> <p>Happy 20th anniversary to BALG! For this special episode we're doing something special: We're not talking about the past but rather about the present. Abermals is a power-pop-punk-emo-kraut-rock trio from Mallorca, Spain and includes BALG's Chris, so to prevent the order of the universe from imploding, the interview is done by the great Michael Oxley of The Mitchums fame. We go through the new album Reasons to Travel song by song, listen in on it and talk about it all. Check out Reasons to Travel here:</p> <p>https://linktr.ee/abermalsband</p>

#19: (German) Daniel Benyamin (Ghost Palace Records)
<p>Wir haben den ersten returning guest zu vermelden, der Musiker und Musikverrückte Daniel Benyamin ist wieder zu Gast, und nachdem wir in Folge 10 eher über die Vergangenheit gesprochen haben, geht es in dieser Folge um die Gegenwart, in der viel Interessantes zu erzählen ist. Unter anderem geht es um diese Themen:</p> <p>- warum der Musikbranche wieder mehr DIY und Idealismus gut zu Gesicht stehen würde,</p> <p>- der freiwillige Verzicht aufs 9 to 5 Leben im Tausch gegen regelmäßige Existenzängste und Strategien, mit diesen klarzukommen,</p> <p>- Daniel erzählt über Ghost Palace, sein Labelkollektiv/Kollektivlabel, bei dem zwischenzeitlich der große Wim Wenders beteiligt war (den ich peinlicherweise im Gespräch Wim Hof nenne),</p> <p>- wie es dazu kam, dass seine neue Platte Eral Fun so nach 80s-Pop klingt, obwohl er musikalisch neunziger-sozialisiert ist (falls ihr euch erinnert, die 90er waren quasi die Anti-80er),</p> <p>- die eigentlich unwichtige aber trotzdem spannende Frage, ob man mit oder ohne Click Drums aufnimmt,</p> <p>- und noch mehr</p> <p>#podcast #diy #indie #podcastdeutsch #indiepop #indielabel #nonprofit #musikszene</p>
