    New Album: Whiskey Clear | The Poetry, Stories, and Meaning Behind the Songs

    New Album: Whiskey Clear | The Poetry, Stories, and Meaning Behind the Songs

    Hey Y'all! I'm back again with a long episode about the new album, detailing the poetry, stories, and meaning behind the songs, along with snarky remarks unpalatable for the other project channels. If you have not already, I'd be both honored and delighted if you checked out the new album at the link below:



    Listen Here: Jules Taylor - Whiskey Clear



    Also, I had said at the top of the episode that I would play back the album in its entirety, but let's be real here - that would make this episode too long and I think listeners would prefer to keep the deliberate listening of music and podcasts separate. Like you come to me for chats and not to play music but I would also like to give you the option to take in my music.

    Introducing the Corpus Christi Songwriters Podcast

    Introducing the Corpus Christi Songwriters Podcast

    Hey Y'all,



    I am still on hiatus here on this platform, but I wanted to take a moment and introduce a different podcast that I am a co-host on. This is a really special project I was invited to spearhead with my friends Jimmy Willden (Director, Songwriter, Film Composer) and Garrett Wieland (Songwriter and Old West Fanatic). We are about 11 episodes in at this point, and I am finding that I fit in a lot of philosophical concepts there as they relate to songwriting. This is such a joy for me to take part in, and since there was the tiniest bit of overlap, I've decided to give y'all a taste here in hopes some of you will make it over to the Corpus Christi Songwriter Podcast Feed.



    And! I have a new album out, available now at all streaming links. Click here to listen to Whiskey Clear



    New episodes coming in a little while. See y'all soon.

    The Californian Ideology - An Interview with Dr. Richard Barbrook

    The Californian Ideology - An Interview with Dr. Richard Barbrook

    Dr. Richard Barbrook is a senior lecturer in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at the University of Westminster. He is the author of Media Freedom (Pluto, 1995) and Imaginary Futures (Pluto, 2007).  His other important writings  include The Hi-Tech Gift Economy, Cyber-communism,
    The Regulation of Liberty and The Class of the New, and today with Jules he is discussing his prophetic 1995 essay "The Californian Ideology". 

     

    In the essay, Dr. Barbrook and Andy Cameron argue that the rise of networking technologies in Silicon Valley in the 90s was linked to American neoliberalism and a paradoxical hybridization of beliefs from the political left and right in the form of hopeful technological determinism.  This new amalgamated ideology combined the ideas of Marshall McLuhan with elements of radical individualism, libertarianism, and neoliberal economics, using publications like Wired
    Magazine to promulgate their ideas.  This ideology mixed New Left and New Right beliefs together based on their shared interest in anti-statism, the counterculture of the 1960s, and techno-utopianism. 

     

    The original promise of the Californian Ideology was that computers would liberate us from all the old forms of political control, and we would become Randian heroes, in control of our own destinies. Instead, today, we feel the opposite—that we are helpless components in a global system—a system that is controlled by a rigid logic that we are powerless to challenge or change.
