Spinning Out (another music podcast) We talk to artists about their favorite albums and go on wild tangents.

Today we’re talking Nicolette Alvarez of Pool Kids. We talked about The Sugarcubes’ 1988 album “Life’s Too Good.” We also talk about the cult of Bjork, working for college radio & not gatekeeping.

Pool Kids released their new S/T album on Skeletal Lightning, so go pick that up and go check them out on tour in September with Mountain Goats and then in September with Origami Angel.

Episode 96 LIFE'S TOO GOOD by THE SUGARCUBES with Nicolette Alvarez (of Pool Kids)

"You don't sound like anyone else," said Danny Thompson - renowned bass player for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English musician Conil.

The GRAMMY-winning engineer for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, Tchad Blake said: "Strange Part of the Country is an awesome album! I still listen to it."

Fleetwood Mac legend Peter Green liked Conil's music so much he stopped by Conil’s house to record with him. They recorded a version of Conil's homage to the jazz greats "Round Midnight". 

Strange Part of the Country never conformed to any current trends and has remained timeless. Now, people are discovering this album and it is becoming an all-time favourite. 

When the album was released in the UK, it received some amazing press. Britain's biggest selling music monthly Q magazine gave it: "Four stars - Q Recommends". Blues Matters magazine wrote: "One of the most original artists out there". In the next issue, Blues Matters put him on the front cover.

Conil left London after Strange Part of the Country was released and has spent the last ten years living in the United States and Europe - including New Orleans, New York City, and Berlin.
