  1. Arya Imig + Bob Dylan

    Arya Imig + Bob Dylan

    In honor of Bob Dylan's 80th birthday, we recorded a special Dylan themed episode with Arya Imig. Arya is the founder of Sound Judgment Records, a radio personality, a talent manager and booker, and the lead singer of Bob Dylan's 115th dream. In this episode, we talk all things Dylan, from his mercurial public persona, to his controversial vocal style. We share stories of seeing Dylan live, and Marly conducts a Dylan-centric pop quiz. Listen to the end for a special performance from Arya.

  2. Mo Troper + The Beatles

    Mo Troper + The Beatles

    Portland musician, producer, and writer Mo Troper zoomed into the Crooner’s Corner to discuss his latest project: an album-length cover of the Beatles’ classic 1966 album, Revolver. Mo shared what it was like to record such an instrumentally and vocally complex album at home and discusses what he learned from such an intimate and sustained exploration of the material. We weigh in on the eternal Lennon vs McCartney debate, and take the usual detour to talk about Mo’s dad. As a finale, Charley shares some of his cherished Mo-memorabilia and we reminisce about the Portland music scene of yore (meaning about 10 years ago.) Please excuse the poor audio quality. Mo is a professional who came to the Zoom call properly mic-ed, but things didn’t go quite so smoothly over in the Corner. Needless to say we have learned our lesson.

  3. Ms. Elle + Noname, Anderson Paak and Mariah Carey

    13-02-2021

    Ms. Elle + Noname, Anderson Paak and Mariah Carey

    Portland hip-hop artist Ms. Elle stopped by the Crooner's Corner to talk about her latest EP Culture and her new radio show Ladies to the Mic. Elle filled us in on what it's like to be a female rapper in Portland and how a major high school injury changed her musical trajectory. Though we discuss two of Elle's influences, Noname and Anderson Paak, she confesses that Mariah Carey remains her ultimate singing idol. We dish about the Trailblazers, our favorite teachers, and awkward run-ins with celebrities. Marly shares a traumatic experience with an eighth grade music teacher. Once again, we spend too much time talking about our dads. Tune in to Elle's radio show every Wednesday from 8:30-9:30 pm on 99.1 and check out her album Culture on Bandcamp. https://prp.fm/show/ladies-to-the-mic/ https://mselle.bandcamp.com/album/culture

  4. Dakota Theim + Marvin Gaye and Brian Wilson

    27-01-2021

    Dakota Theim + Marvin Gaye and Brian Wilson

    Portland singer-songwriter Dakota Theim swings by the crooner's corner for our inaugural episode to discuss his debut album and his journey to becoming the lead singer in his own band. Then we dig deep into the brilliant and tragic lives of Marvin Gaye and Brian Wilson, two iconic voices whose dark pasts helped to spark some of the most beautiful singing the world has ever known. We give some unsolicited parenting advice, tackle our relationships with our dads, and Marly admits that she doesn't know her multiplication tables. Please excuse the occasional pops and the sounds of our very vocal wiener dog Danny. We hope to resolve these issues soon. Dakota Theim Bandcamp: https://dakotatheim.bandcamp.com
