Thanks to Primus Tracks, for creating such a great podcast for Primus fans and music lovers alike. I have been a fan of Primus for many years, but your podcast drew me in much closer in appreciation of their music. I tend to fall in the “audiophile” category of music listeners (maybe unusual among Primus fans, not sure), and as I dug into each album as guided by Josh and Frankie, I found so many well-recorded songs, with engaging textures, in many cases hearing intonation of sounds and instruments that, to put into Frankie’s terms, were “simply mind-blowing.” My favorite recordings are Pork Soda, The Desaturating Seven, and Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People - true gems with such great sounds.
I have listened and will continue to listen to every podcast episode that you have made (my dog appreciates this as he benefits from extra long walks while binge-listening episodes). I always have a smile when I think of episodes that featured Josh belting out notes from Eternal Consumption Engine or David Macalaster, Frankie making the case for Team Envelope Filter, or Tim Soya trying to explain some type of “rubber sport short” he discovered to be a staple of Tommy Lee’s go-to stage/drumming wear.
A highlight for me was realizing that I was standing just behind Frankie (and probably other Primatrons) at the pre-NYE Fox Theater show and got to introduce myself and express my thanks for all you guys do. I am so glad that the Primus/Claypool flame is still burning brightly after all this time, with so much to look forward to, and I view Primus Tracks as the caretakers and curators that I can depend on to enhance our experience on the journey.
