Kate Walsh - The Highway GirlKate Walsh was such a lovely person to sit down with. Every bit as genuine as her music leads you to believe she would be.My thanks to the Soiled Dove Underground in Denver for letting us record this there. Sound man Chris did an awesome job of recording Kate's Sound check for us to use as her live performance. They're a beautiful venue and listening room that I highly recommend if you're passing through Colorado.Buy Tim's House from Kate Walsh!Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Jesca Hoop - The Highway GirlJesca Hoop's music is incredibly authentic and so is she as a person. Although she is very quirky, I was surprised by some of her traditional values that came out when we talked.I found her to be very much in control of her career and very aware of where she wants both her music and her career to go.Don't miss Seed of Wonder at the beginning. Stewart Copeland plays drums. And don't miss Murderer of Birds at the end.Buy Kismet!Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Allee Willis - The Highway GirlAllee Willis is truly one of a kind. Born in Detroit, it seems Allee, like me, should probably have been born black. More soul than the people know what to do with.The quality of sound on this podcast is terrible. But, I beg of you to ignore that and listen to the quality of content in terms of what Allee has to say. it's really challenging to go from an audio podcast to a video podast and keep the quality the same. Trust me. We're working on it!You can h ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Martha Wainwright - The Highway GirlMartha is without a doubt the coolest artist I've had the pleasure of
working with. She is real and honest and so incredibly talented. She's
got a powerhouse of a voice and she's not afraid to tell the truth. If you haven't heard her new album, you must go out and buy "I
Know You're Married, but I've Got Feelings Too." It's tremendous and so
is she.
Big thanks to Jamie Jackson for making this interview happen.Buy the album!Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Aimee Mann - The Highway GirlIt goes without saying that I'm a huge fan of Aimee Mann's. The fact
that she's been able to remain true to herself and experience such
success as an independent artist gives me hope that any of us can do it.
Aimee wrote the music for the incredible film Magnolia a few years
back, for which she received a lot of attention and notoriety.
Make sure you buy her new album Smilers! It rocks.Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |

SMtv 94 Gigi Sohn with the music of Gentleman CallerGentleman Caller are the most incredible band I've found since starting
SMtv. I discovered them when I was looking for a video director for my
song Days Like This. I ended up wirking with Ryan Newman, who had
directed many videos for Gentleman Caller. I immediately fell in love
with their sound. Kenny Childers has one of the most beautiful voices
I've ever heard and one I could listen to for hours. I've yet to have
the pleasure of meeting the band, but cannot w ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
SMtv 93 PaleoI first met Paleo when I was recording a show with These United States
at IOTA in Virginia. His music is intense and so is he. Paleo is

noisy, outside patio. Paleo is also the first artist who requested we
record the live performance outside in the street while he leaned up
against a stranger's van. We'll have the video for you soon.In all my years doing this show I've never
