Indie Music On Tap

So, in the spirit that honesty should come first, I will explain a few things about this podcast: the story of the timing for these episodes, and also of how I got here. With music from: Brothers Page, The Bergamot, Max McVeety, and EMIAH. First, it's a bit of a joke: I say these podcasts are weekly, but it's more like twice a month. We are busy up in this place - we got kids, and family visiting, and I'm starting a career as a 360 photographer. But the main reason that the timing is all off is that in the end of August, I had the idea of starting to make episodes early, and then my LibSyn account posted before I wanted it to - I'm still not sure where the error was there, but the short of it was that my first episode was posted three weeks before it was supposed to, and I've been playing catch-up ever since. Let's just say for this season at least, we will be posting twice a month from now on. That just makes it easier. And then, my story. We are talking about depression this season because it is something t

  Featured music: The Luxury of Being Human: Bring Summer Back yeardley: wedding preparations in the country   Hello, and welcome to CHILLFILTR Indie Music on Tap, where we discuss issues that affect the indie music community, and we talk about what it is like to be a musician today. We have listeners all over the world for our podcast at IndieMusicOnTap.com, we publish weekly song reviews to our blog at CHILLFILTR.com, and our video feed is broadcast to Tibo subscribers on Euro Indie Music TV. We are starting our second season with a new format, a new theme, and a new schedule. We will be publishing weekly episodes through the end of the year for our second season. The main subject will be depression, and how it affects musicians today.  We will also continue to discuss the difference between architects and gardeners, as I hope to recreate my own personal steps dealing with depression, and perhaps help chart a path for anyone dealing with those same issues. First, a little about me. I started CHILLFIL

He is not the disease - we are the disease. He is the symptom. If we want to get rid of Trump, we have to heal ourselves first. He is a product of our own dysfunction as a body politic. This episode we wrap up the season, announce our topic for season 2, and look at great songs that are all examples of personal transformation, through the power of music.

Everybody welcome back, this is Krister Axel and you are listening to episode 9 of CHILLFILTR Indie Music on Tap. Our theme this episode is going to be digital rights and privacy, as well as the idea that we also need to support a public commons. We have Soul as the genre spotlight this week and we will be back in two more weeks for the final episode of this season just before my birthday.  FEATURING: Avi Snow: Magic - https://chillfiltr.com/blog/2019/4/20/avi-snow-and-iro-magic Ka-Li: KUDOS - https://chillfiltr.com/blog/2019/2/10/ka-li-kudos rum·gold: Get Through - https://chillfiltr.com/blog/2018/12/27/rumgold-get-through-prod-james-chatburn M'lynn: T.F.I.L. - https://chillfiltr.com/blog/2019/2/3/mlynn-tfil Savannah Sgro: Love Me Like You Used To - https://chillfiltr.com/blog/2019/1/19/savannah-sgro-love-me-like-you-used-to Joseph of Mercury: Over and Over - https://chillfiltr.com/blog/2018/12/29/joseph-of-mercury-over-and-over Gina Brooklyn: Losers - https://chillfiltr.com/blog/2019/4/30/gina-brookly

There's this video going around on the internets, a Rabbi talking about a crab. As the crab grows out of its shell, that's a process by which you have this crab growing, and pushing up against the wall of the existing shell that they're in and then eventually you know that pain is too much to take, so that the crab has to exit and go find another shell. Instead of seeing that as a negative experience, and feeling constricted, turn that sentiment around and have it be about rebirth. That's all well and good if you're a crab and you can just crawl out of your shell. For humans it is not so easy.

What we're going to be talking about today is what happened to the internet. I'm of a generation that grew up before the internet and then it happened to me. HTTP came around and people started building websites; for a couple years people thought it was a fad; brick-and-mortar businesses took a while to even get the memo, of course. We've been through that process, we are now post-process. We have the internet, it is a thing, it rules our world. It's absolutely essential to my way of life both private and business-oriented, I think it is similar for everyone else. What would we do without the internet, I mean I can't even fathom what it would be like to go back to that world where you went to the library if you needed a book and you walked to the room with the phone in it when you needed to make a phone call.  We hear from: Franke: Kids - https://chillfiltr.com/blog/2019/4/6/franke-kids-zack-martino-remix No Coast: Keep Me Running - https://chillfiltr.com/blog/2019/4/1/no-coast-keep-me-running Rén with the

So often you will hear from people, they will ask - am I doing this right? Well the answer that question is yes and no; yes you are doing it right, because there is no way to do anything wrong; but no, you are not doing it right, because you shouldn't be asking the question. So you have two answers, it is both yes and no. And just like math, when you have two answers, that means you are asking the wrong question. The only real question is: who am I? And the answer to that is now. You are now. Once you understand that, you are taking your first step towards zen.   We hear from: Shane Leonard - Empire Builder - https://chillfiltr.com/blog/2019/3/23/shane-leonard-empire-builder The Harmaleighs - Sorry, I'm Busy - https://chillfiltr.com/blog/2019/3/23/the-harmaleighs-sorry-im-busy Josh Steinhart - Picture on the Wall - https://chillfiltr.com/blog/2019/3/23/josh-steinhart-picture-on-the-wall Jenny Kern - Slow Burn - https://open.spotify.com/track/2vRLlgiUgtALsGzUTYptEN?si=196jLvvNRxGl00sj6AeKcg The King Heat Ensem

This is episode 5 of CHILLFILTR:TAP, today we're going to be covering the myth of fully automatic, how we are going to pay for the green new deal, and we're going to put a genre spotlight on folk-pop, which is one of my favorites and brings me back to my teenage years, listening to Crosby, Stills and Nash, and Neil Young, and The Grateful Dead. So that's a direct ancestor to the folk-pop movement that I think is pretty significant today. links: https://www.forbes.com/sites/rhockett/2019/01/16/the-green-new-deal-how-we-will-pay-for-it-isnt-a-thing-and-inflation-isnt-either/ Alan Watts - You Will Destroy Yourself, If You Don't Love Yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-_5Xqmy894 Visit our Apple News Channel: https://apple.news/Te7k1rEoyTwaoNQ1G0blAaA Band links: Greg Holden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APxR2Tc8t-I Lizi Bailey: https://chillfiltr.com/blog/2019/2/14/lizi-bailey-home Verluna: https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/verluna2 The Western Den: https://soundcloud.com/antifragile_music/like-you-do-the-we

Hi this is Krister Axel and you are listening to CHILLFILTR: Indie Music on Tap. Today we are going to talk a little bit about what it means to be living inside the algorithm, and what it means that Bernie Sanders is finally in the race; I'll talk about that a little bit later. We're also going to hear a lot of really good Indie Rock. Why did we start with Indie Rock? Well, it's my default genre topic on my Apple news channel, so that's why it is a logical place to start. But to understand the roots of indie rock, you have to go back to essentially the 90s, when there was still this big divide between major labels and everyone else.

Ask yourself if you define who you are in such a way that someone or something can take it away from you. If the answer is yes you're doing it wrong. Hi, I'm Krister Axel and I am here to act like I know something, thanks for joining me. Today we are talking about the fact that corporations don't love you, they just want your money, so we are trying to take back our humanity and later we are going to talk about the third horse and the correlated concept of yes, no, and the third answer which is fuck you and why we are hearing so much of that right now.

Along with listening to three of my favorite tracks from last year, we will discuss the plight of Federal workers, and explain a little bit about what SubmitHub is and why we love it. We will also talk a little bit about how we shame our children out of being creative, and what is going on with the current explosion of different musical genres. We heard from: Max García Conover, SAMIA, and Baba Sonya.

I built a music blog from nothing last year. Less than 12 months later, we are getting up to 200 submissions per week, and we average 2 blog features per day. I have heard so much great music this year that I started showcasing my favorite songs. If you want to be featured on this podcast, please visit here. Today we are talking about how artists are able to define themselves around a song, using the lyrics and the context to create their own sound and personality. We also look at personal dichotomies that can be helpful for anyone to get a handle on some of their own 'mismatch' problems. We discuss the ideas of Malcolm Gladwell, portions of a speech from MLK, and how some things never go out of style.
