Title track off of upcoming LP from Pat Van Dyke.

Pre-order the limited edition clear vinyl now: https://pvdmusic.bandcamp.com/album/falls-to-pieces

Release date: 9/8/23.

Falls to Pieces (featuring Juan Manuel Rodriguez)

A Faded Dream is the second single from Pat Van Dyke’s forthcoming LP “Falls To Pieces”.  Delicate piano lines, syncopated chords, and ‘boom-bap’ drums lay the foundation for the song’s angular melody - played by trumpeter Eric “Benny” Bloom (of funk supergroup Lettuce)

Combining the harmonic subtlety of jazz with the bounce of golden era hip-hop; A Faded Dream explores a sound familiar to fans of Van Dyke’s Hello, Summer LP - a release that received high praise from Pitchfork, Wax Poetics, Flea Market Funk and more. 

Featuring a trumpet solo from the aforementioned Eric “Benny” Bloom; A Faded Dream showcases a mature composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who’s sound has continued to develop and evolve.

How You Amaze Me (Let Me Count The Ways)

We've made it to 100 episodes! Thank you everyone. I wanted to do something extra special for the heads on this one - so who better than DOOM. Culled from a handful of conversations recorded onto cassette, MF DOOM and I discuss the then unreleased and to me, unheard, 'MM FOOD' album. This was originally recorded in May 2003 for an expansive cover-story I wrote on DOOM for Elemental Magazine. But ... just let the convo really do the talking here. 

The written-piece was a broad take on his life and work, where I interviewed many of his then collaborators. Like most of my work, I carefully archived the tapes with the hopes to one day revisit. Well, 16 years later I did just that. Digitizing the tapes at DiJiFi in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Josh Berg who engineered/mixed our Alias tribute show was brought in to lend his talents to bringing these tapes to life. 

After listening to these again, there is no doubt in my mind how talented, intuitive and inventive DOOM is. It of course goes without saying, but I do feel like these chats I had with him shed much more light on how he willed some of the best hip-hop music of the last 20 years out of sheer desire to create, if even sometimes under a state of duress. A master collage-artist, poet, author, satirist, DJ, producer, performer. I truly hope this episode (like them all) will serve as a living document to his great accomplishments in music and art. I am appreciative of the time we had recording these and the few musical collaborations we did some 20 years ago now. Hey, what can I say, it's out 100TH EPISODE! Thank you to all the listeners as this is fully listener supported.
