Subversion

Fans of rap/hip-hop, rejoice!  This interview is with 2JD, one of several artists from Nice Guy Entertainment.  His album is Gemini Cities (which you can download for free here) tells an introspective story of duality, overcoming ones own dark side in a journey of self discovery. You can follow 2JD on Facebook and Soundcloud.  *DISCLAIMER*  In the intro, I say "Nice Guy Crew", I want to be clear their collective is called "Nice Guy Entertainment".  Just wanted to clear that up.

In today's episode, you will get to know a true modern day bard, Dan Mark.  Dan is a very good friend of mine that I've known since we were just little boys.  We have managed to come of age alongside one another, having seen and experienced so much bliss as well as strife together.  I really do owe quite a bit of gratitude to Dan for inspiring me over the years, as he was one of the first people I started playing music with and I can't think of anyone else in my life that has had a more consistent impact on my creative inclinations.  In some ways, you could say that without my friendship with Dan, this program may very well not be happening.  Dan has his own web page up where you can purchase his book, "Mourning 'til Morning", a collective of poems about a particularly dark time in his life which was fraught with emotionally confusing experiences.  It is a very thought provoking assortment of words which is sure to take you on a journey and I encourage you to pick yourself up a

I'm breaking format today to give you some background on myself.  As I mention in the outro, I find myself putting my guests in some emotionally compromising positions when I ask them questions about childhood, death, and their personal stories that inform their artistic creations, therefore I fell it's only fair that I expose a little bit of myself and make myself vulnerable to, you, the audience.

Give a warm "howdy" to Marvin Werth, a genuine story teller and guitarist from the Twin Cities Area. I found a lot of common ground with Marvin, as parts of his story seem so familiar, yet I am constantly surprised when doing these interviews the depth of experience any single person has and the wisdom that their tales impart. I sure do hope you enjoy listening as much as I did recording this interview. As mentioned in the interview, Marvin has desires to work with musicians in the area and is working on new material to produce and preform.

I would like to introduce you to BAARD. Without stealing too many of his own words, he is a St Paul native and a quite talented producer, if I do say so myself. I had the pleasure of sitting down to chat with him about growing up, what informs his artistic inclinations, and what this whole life thing is all about. I can think of no better interviewee to launch my project, and I sure do hope you enjoy our conversation. Let me also mention that he has given this program it's whimsical and brilliant theme music. Big ups, Mike! Where Can find BAARD?

Allow me to introduce you to Subversion, a project wherein we will experiment with a hybrid of broadcast formats. First, the human interest. I will chronicle the life and times of musical artists (and hopefully creators of other artistic mediums) by getting a snapshot of their childhood, talk about what got them into producing music and try to find out just what makes them tick. I'm very excited to be given the pleasure of being lent your ear, I promise you that I will not waste you time. Please head to iTunes and give us a 5 star review and subscribe on the podcast app of your choosing. Also check out my Faceboook page, at facebook.com/subversionwebcast
