Shame & Gold: Cary Comes Clean

Curtis — Mon, 19 May 2008 06:04:15 +0000

Remember how Cary pretty much didn’t answer the questions about Shame & Gold last episode? He called me up a few days later and said something along the lines of, “ok, now I have some answers for your questions; I’m comin clean…”

So, here you have it, the whole story. At least as of today.

As a bonus, you get a sneak peak at a live version of Shame & Gold performed just a couple of weeks ago at the Velour Live Music Gallery.

Shame and Gold

Curtis — Thu, 15 May 2008 04:36:29 +0000

I caught up last week with Cary at The Velour Live Music Gallery, a brilliant little venue in Utah that is worth your time. Based on a suggestion from one of our listeners, we talked about Shame and Gold from Looking Back from Space as well as the drama that surrounds set lists and whether online concerts are a good idea.

Evolution of a Song

Curtis — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 05:24:05 +0000

Remember back in episode 2 when Cary explained how he writes his songs? Now you get to hear him write one from the very beginning. Maybe. Since the songs evolve we have no idea where these will end up but it’ll be a nice experiment to see whether these little riffs turn into anything on the upcoming album.Drums by Ryan, the man that put down the drum tracks for Coma on Looking Back From Space. He’s an incredible drummer but judge for yourself by checking out this episode, “Evolution of a Song.”

Valentine in the (Recording) Closet

Curtis — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 05:56:47 +0000

Cary drops by for an unexpected visit, lays down a single track of Valentine in my closet, and makes fun of my day-job pants. Nice. Cary is in prime form so you don’t want to miss this episode.

We also talk for a few minutes about the history of Perfect Tonight on his 2006 release Looking Back From Space.

Episode 2: Cracker Barrel, Rhyming, and Songwriting

Curtis — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 06:55:08 +0000

In this tasty episode at the Cracker Barrel outside of Allentown Pennsylvania, Cary walks us through one of his rhyming exercises and then talks a bit about how he writes his songs. If microphones could pick up food, you would also get a good taste of breakfast on the road.
