Elevated Transmissions Podcast

This the first of a new mix series entitled "ETVC" (Elevated Transmissions Vinyl Collective). It's basically an excuse for me to go through records and listen to things I might not normally play out while Djing. Unique b sides, weird album cuts, overlooked hits, cool production techniques, interesting break beats, whatever grabs me in the moment. I'm hoping to have some guest mixes down the road for this series, but for now these will creep in whenever I decide to get faded and randomly go through records at 3 A.M. - Al Lover 0:00 / The Village Soul Choir - The Country Walk 3:56 / Kris Kristofferson - Josie 6:56 / April March - Brainwash Part II 9:11 / Jackie DeShannon - It's So Nice 11:38 / Television Personalities - A Life Of Her Own 14:45 / Thee Oh Sees - The Sun Goes All Around 16:55 / The Fuzz - I Love You For All Seasons (Instrumental) 19:53 / Alice Copper - Sick Things 24:03 / Phillip Frazer - Never Let Go (Version) 27:28 / The Notations - I've Been Tryin' 30:18 / John Prine - Rocky Mountain Time 33

Joey Cook is the guitarist (mostly) for Austin based 'psych gaze' (yeah, made that up) band, Holy Wave. I met Joey a few years back in Europe when I had to hop in the van with Holy Wave to do a couple shows together. Let me tell you, there's no better way to get to know someone then to spend a few days on tour with them. Joey's definitely one of the funniest, sweetest guys I know, as are all the Holy Wave dudes, and I hope to have them all on the podcast as often as possible. Joey and I recently got way too stoned at my place and talked about our formative years in music, the health benefits of being lazy and the concepts of smooth versus stinky. Also, I turned my mic off for a good 10 minutes during the early part of the podcast, so good luck with that! :/ - Al Lover Beak - Spinning Top Total Control - Scene From A Marriage David Bowie - John, I'm Only Dancing Paul McCartney - Temporary Secretary John Maus - And The Rain Jack Name - Waiting For Another Moon Blouse - In A Glass Cocteau Twins - Amelia Hidd

This week on the Elevated Transmissions Podcast we have Austin, Texas singer / song writer Ryan Sambol. I met Ryan a few years back in SF when he was in the amazing garage rock band, The Strange Boys. Since the group disbanded Ryan's been busy putting out great solo work as well as a side project, Living Grateful. We were a little crunched for time I met up with Ryan at my house in Austin, as he was getting ready to leave for a West Coast tour. We did had a great time though, talking about adapting back into the touring mind frame, the history and cycles of american music and the beauty of knowing a name. http://www.punctumrecords.com/ryansambol/ Tim Presley - Morris The Impressions - Keep On Pushing (Single Version) Harry Nilsson - I'll Be Home Duke Ellington & Coleman Hawkins John Lennon - Nobody Love You (When You're Down and Out) The Beatles - In My Life Tom Waits - New Year's Eve Harry Nilsson - So Long Dad Harry Nilsson - Living Without You Brian Eno - On Some Faraway Beach

This week we got another Elevated Transmissions mixtape for ya! I want to do one of these every month or so. The concept is basically to go through tag words on bandcamp and find upcoming bands doing interesting stuff, mix in a couple bigger names, wah-lah. It's just a little taste of whatever I'm feeling is cool right now. Hope y'all dig it.

In this episode of The Elevated Transmissions Podcast I sit down with Pat Thomas of San Francisco, cosmic rock n roll band, Cool Ghouls. These guys are steady putting out pure California gold! Prospectors searching for lost nuggets of Crazy Horse, The Byrds & early Dead. Pat and I caught up while in SF to record the first half of a two part series I've Deemed "The Pat Vs. Pat Episodes". Being that The Ghouls have 2 members named Pat, short hair Pat and long hair Pat (it get's confusing), I figured it would be amusing to pit them against each other in a musical grudge match to the death! All Jokes aside, Cool Ghouls are one of my favorite Bay Area bands and I was so stoked to have them included on the Pet Sounds tribute record we did with Reverberation Appreciation Society last year. They have a new record out now on Empty Cellar Records titled 'Animal Races', so do yourself a favor and check that out! Pat and I had a great time discussing potential polarity shifts, the beauty of improvisation with minor de

Aaron Diko is a San Francisco Musician, Synth enthusiast and part of the emerging group DDCT with Burnt Ones members Mark Tester and Landon Caldwell.

We took some time to sit down with 10 songs she's been into lately and discussed what it was like being in san Francisco during the garage rock boom, our love of pre war era old time music, and beauty of music being perceived by the listener in his or her own way. https://soundcloud.com/hvvmid Track listing - Arthur Russell - Arm Around You Cate leBon - No God Pylon - K Pill - Dead Boys Broken Water - Hi-Lo Flesh World - Strawberry Bomber Sam Flax - Child of Glass Drab Majesty - Everything So Sentimental Magazine - The Light Pours Out of Me Thin Lizzy - Wild One

The Elevated Transmissions Podcast is back with a new format, y'all! While wondering the planet, I've met my fair share of incredible human beings. I decided to start reaching out to folks doing interesting things and ask them to curate a 10 song playlist of their current favorite tracks. I wanted the music to provide a base for conversation, stories, wisdom, comedy, tragedy, and all the rest. The point being to share and learn about music the old fashioned way, with human interaction, exchange and more often then not a couple roaches in the ashtray. Episode 006 of The Elevated Transmissions Podcast is with Matt Jones. Matt is one third of the amazing Castle Face record label, founder of "weirdo punk" band Male Gaze and an over all good dude. I sat down with Matt in San Francisco and we discussed some of his current favorite jams a week or so after the 2016 election results were in. I hope you enjoy it. Please leave comments and let us know what you think!!! - Al Lover Check out what Matt's up to below....

In the final episode of the 5 part "Pet Sounds" edition of the Elevated Transmissions Podcast, Al Lover talks with Christian Bland and Alex Maas of The Black Angels. They discuss the influence of Brian Wilson on the band in their formative years and the effect of Pet Sounds on their overall approach to making music. Al also reveals the new concept of the podcast moving into 2017. Stay tuned!!! https://levitation.colortestmerch.com/collections/all/products/rvrb-027-a-tribute-to-pet-sounds
