Discover the Road Episode 6: Alex Gibson – Working with Rock Stars, Developing Brands, and Creating Value

DTR_Alex_Gibson-1024x682

I had the privilege of being interviewed for Kirk Wheeler’s new Podcast/Site Discover the Road. Here’s a snippet from Kirk’s intro:

The week I spoke to Alex, he was in the middle of producing local artists, mixing a band from Russia, building a website for a venture capitalist, scoring a short film, and helping someone build a social media app.

I am really excited to have Alex on the podcast for two reasons:

– He has a deep passion for music and helping artists craft their vision to create the most authentic expression possible.
– He has been at the heart of a seismic shift in the musical economy and having seen both sides, is trying to imagine what come next.

Spending most of my time on the quiet side of the glass, I’m not used to being the one interviewed – however, I enjoyed sharing some of my story with Kirk about the path I started versus the path I’m currently on. I’ve already received some great emails from others taking chances at new, creative paths and the obstacles that lie ahead. Just like Kirk, I believe we add real value to the world by sharing our experiences and strategies for creating the most impactful lives for ourselves, our families, and others.

Guided by Voices

Here’s the new video from one of my favorite bands, Echo Echo. I had a BLAST producing this album, and this song was one of the highlights. Distorted, space echo drums, uber fuzz guitar solo, an accordion duet, and a killer lead vocal?!! What more could you ask for?

Also, much of the footage from this video was shot at the famed Sound City Studios, and some of it was actually used in Dave Grohl’s documentary film about the studio.

 

 

Head Over Heels

It was incredible privilege and pleasure to make this album with TD Lind.
Here’s the new video for “Head Over Heals.”

I realize I’m 4 years late to this… But

I LOVE THIS. Was feeling like I missed the boat since it was released in 2008. However, it is NOWHERE to be found on iTunes, Amazon, or Spotify. Dooce.com mentioned it today and I can only imagine how many downloads would have occurred, had it actually been available for purchase anywhere.

Letters of Note: Rolling Stones Hotel Rider

A great post from the fantastic site Letters of Note. This one features the Rolling Stones’ detailed instructions to the hotel about their preferred accommodations. I especially love their boring pseudonyms. Letters of Note: Keep Bill Wyman away from Keith

I was importing some old CDs into iTunes yesterday and came across an anomaly on Sly and Family Stone’s Greatest hits. This one is for all you young, budding engineers. See if you can hear the error that was made on the original transfer to CD (top video) versus the correction that they made on later transfers.

Wow.
