Hold On Tightly, Let Go Lightly
The end of Dan Jones. Friend break-ups are the hardest. Katie and Aaron talk ADHD. **Update! We chose not to air the episode Aaron describes at the end of this one. These stories can sometimes cut a little close to the bone, and we felt like what would have been episode 4 might be pushing too far into other peoples’ lives. It was a good one but we decided to err on the side of privacy. Email us a lajollababylon@gmail.com (mailto:lajollababylon@gmail.com) if you want to know more (we’ll tell you everything privately). Also, I was diagnosed with ADHD and am trying out some meds to see what they do. All I know about astrology I know from Harvey Sid Fisher songs. In the same way that all I know about Christianity I know from Jesus Christ Superstar. Mentioned links: Video of 10 year old Elijah killing it at the talent show - https://youtu.be/yATe2qeWspc Recently unearthed video of Harvey Sid Fisher playing a couple of his astrology songs in Olympia, 1995. https://youtu.be/eEsl6Ddni2k Telephone Call by Old Time Relijun - https://arrington.bandcamp.com/track/telephone-call Music: La Jolla Babylon Theme by Aaron Hartman Vocal: Alicia Jo Rabins @ohaliciajo | aliciajo.com Drums: Sara Lund @lundun_calling | saralundrum.com (http://saralundrum.com) Let us know what’s what: Have a story about growing up as a latchkey kid? Did you have a sibling who lived a completely different life than you? Did you cause mayhem in the 1980s? Send us your questions, comments, corrections and condescensions. We read every DM and email we receive. Find us: @lajollababylonpodcast on Instagram or write us at lajollababylon@gmail.com (mailto:lajollababylon@gmail.com) . We’d love to hear from you!

The Check-In with New Car Smell
New Car Smell is wildly spirited London based trio made up of Alex Shaw (Sax), Jack Marks (Tuba) and Alex Shad (Drums). Their newest EP, Nerdz After All is available now. Nerdz After All is a more produced answer to their previous release, Keep Them On The Streets, and ode to busking and live performance. Both EPs retain a high level of psychotic energy in their own respects. Alex, Jack and Alex share their views on the struggle of playing live shows in London, how busking has informed the band’s modus operandi and why playing on the streets can be a better way to connect with fans and earn money. The band explains the role that “fun” played in making the new record, why they decided to go with a more produced sound and how Nerdz After All is attached to a multi-EP concept. Joe and the boys delve into the growing impotence of social media, why fans are better than followers and why leaving out fussiness and respecting the craft is the key to success as performers.

The Check-In with Devon Church
Devon Church is a guitarist, singer and a songwriter based in Queens NY. His newest solo record, All That’s Solid Melts Into Air is out 11.7. Growing up in Winnipeg, Devon tells us how his connection with music developed and why he feels songs are the best medium for his interest in poetry and literature. Joe and Devon discuss how his voice/word forward music combined with “bedroom production” has developed his unique sound and delivers both a poetic and concise message. Devon explains the story behind the record title, the two talk through some of the ideas in the lyric dense single Fall Like Lightening and why we are past the “hope” stage in our culture. Devon breaks down a few of his recording tricks and we hear a bit of his latest single.
