    Rebel Kitchens SoCal & Poltergeist and The Pantheons

    On today’s episode, Darin sits down with producer and director Antonio Diaz, alongside chef Diego Argoti, to dive into the new PBS SoCal series, Rebel Kitchen, where Diego’s innovative restaurant, Poltergeist, is featured in one of the episodes. We chat about what it means to tie your art to your life, and of course, the incredible soundtrack you can expect to hear at Poltergeist over the next few weeks. Later on, we’re dipping into the archives to revisit one of our favorite performances from 2019 at Dangerbird Records with the legendary post-punk quartet from Compton, The Pantheons.

  4. A Tribute to Justin Chearno

    23 AUG

    A Tribute to Justin Chearno

    There have been a lot of words used to describe Justin Chearno in the last few days: father, husband, inspiration, colleague, supporter, and the one that keeps popping up over and over and over again, friend. Justin‘s true gift was to make anyone in his presence feel like they were his close friend, whether they had known him for years or they had just met him. For anyone lucky enough to share a meal or a show or a few bottles of wine with him, it was a true pleasure and something you wanted regularly in your life.  He was one of those rare people who could bring so many people together because his excitement for life was so palpable, so infectious, anyone wanted to be a part of what he was doing and enjoy what he loved. I can say that my life would be very different had it not have been for Justin. From when we met at UVA, he immediately welcomed me into his world and introduced me to so many people, restaurants (essentially all of Paris), bands and wine that are a big part of my life today.  To sit across a table from him, to hear his laugh, to talk shop and listen to his unique insights, it is something I will carry with me forever. While we’ve had countless conversations over the years, we have two that are on the record, and we put them together here for anyone who wants to listen. In 2013, he & Scott DeSimon sat down with us to talk about the Turing Machine reunion / Brooklyn in the 90s and a few years later he co-hosted, along with Daniel Willis, to chat about Nordic cuisine and the recent opening of The Four Horsemen. To his family, we send you all of the love and support, and to his friends, which there are many, we want to thank Justin for connecting all of us. We will miss you, but never forget you.

  5. Ggiata & Zambri

    11 AUG

    Ggiata & Zambri

    Today Darin sits down with the co-owners of Ggiata, Max Bahramipour and Jack Biebel (with Noah Holton-Raphael in spirit) as they chat about their new location in Highland Park. They talk about their shared childhood love for Italian delis, growing up in New Jersey, and what drove them to open up a sandwich spot in Los Angeles. And then it's a deep dive into the archives when the sisters of Zambri stopped by the studio to play live. We learned about the many incarnations of the band, their musical training, and how their Italian heritage developed their palate. As summer rolls on, please consider supporting HRN.

    Harley Wertheimer (Stir Crazy) & Ramesh

    Today, Darin dives into a nostalgic chat with modern-day Renaissance man, Harley Wertheimer, the owner of LA’s Stir Crazy. They reminisce about their early days in New York City, spinning tracks at East Village Radio, and savoring the culinary delights of the mid-aughts. Harley shares how his passion for music, hospitality, and art culminated in the creation of one of the city's most beloved restaurants. He also created a Stir Crazy x Snacky Tunes playlist to accompany your summer vibe, which you can listen to here.

    We have an all new summer fun filled episode and we're kicking things off in DC with Brian Lowit. You may know him from his legendary indie label, Lovitt Records.

We talked about how we started his own label, some of the different shows we've been at together throughout the years, and what it means to make an ice cream shop your new clubhouse. Then we head over to Iceland for the first time ever in Snacky Tunes history where we sit down with Paddan, who talk about their new EP, Fluid Time, which is out on Lovitt Records. We talk about their times in the early punk scene of Iceland, their long creative journey together, and what they like to put on the kettle when they're in the studio.
