"loves music" is a podcast, hosted by me, Julian Jones, that celebrates music and the moments that made us fall in love with it. It’s for music-lovers who, despite the demands of life, remain passionate about their beloved albums and artists and still seek to discover new talent, whether online, internationally, or within the sweaty crowded bars of your hometown. It’s in us! We don't know why we do it; we just do… and we refuse to grow out of it. Every Thursday, I interview artists past and present about making music: their inspiration, their challenges, and the moments they will never forget. If you love or even have a dysfunctional relationship with music, come along, and share this show with someone who loves music.

    62. The Trilogy That Started with a Broken Guitar – Jon of The Family Grave

    Jon writes entire albums in a month, has a Nigerian band covering his songs, and still calls himself an amateur. The Brighton-based singer-songwriter behind The Family Grave built a prolific catalog of indie folk and alt-rock records without ever learning barre chords. His "Happy Old Love Songs" trilogy (Happy Songs, Songs About Love, and Old Songs for Kids) came together across pandemic lockdowns, one-day-a-month studio sessions, and a songwriting process that treats creativity like a job you clock into for 30 days straight. Jon talks about pulling a smashed guitar from a London dustbin and teaching himself to play, why his limitations make his music more authentically his, the hold-my-beer studio moment that turned a folk song into a Latin dance number, and what it means to still be searching for your tribe after seven releases. IN THIS CONVERSATION, WE GET INTO: The smashed guitar Jon found in a London dustbin, and how it started everythingWriting 10 songs in a month using February Album Writing Month (FAWM)Why his amateur status and stubby fingers actually make his music more authenticThe hold-my-beer moment that turned a folk demo into a Latin dance numberA Nigerian producer, a cover band, and the power of saying yes to weird opportunities ABOUT JON / THE FAMILY GRAVE: Jon is a singer-songwriter from Brighton, UK, performing as The Family Grave. A self-described late starter, he writes and records with a revolving lineup of musician friends and has released multiple albums including the "Happy Old Love Songs" trilogy. His latest album, Old Songs for Kids, blends indie folk, alt-rock, and unexpected genre detours, including a Latin dance number that started as a two-minute acoustic demo.

    61. Her Biggest Song Has 552K Streams… and She Can’t Listen to It, with V!ctoria

    V!ctoria wrote her first hit during COVID at 15, posted it on a whim, and watched it rack up over half a million streams. Now she can barely press play on it. The 20-year-old New York artist blends R&B, pop, rock, and hip-hop into something Julian straight up couldn't categorize; and that's exactly the point. V!ctoria produces everything herself on Logic, works exclusively in the dark, and refuses to be boxed into a single genre. She opens up about the comparison trap of outgrowing your own viral moment, why she won't force herself to write, what she learned about collaboration from Rome's closed music scene, and how consistency beats talent every time. IN THIS CONVERSATION, WE GET INTO: Why her 553K-stream debut single is the one song she can't play out loud anymoreThe comparison trap: measuring your current self against your 15-year-old self's numbersBeing your own manager, distributor, and creative director at 20, and what it costsWhat Rome's private music scene taught her about collaboration and communityTalent vs. work ethic, and why showing up matters more than being gifted ABOUT V!CTORIA: V!ctoria is a 20-year-old New York-based indie artist making genre-defiant music that blends R&B, pop, rock, and hip-hop. She writes, produces, and releases everything independently. Her 2021 debut single "let me go" reached 553K Spotify streams without a single playlist placement, and her latest single "wondering" dropped May 2026.

    60. The Band She Almost Never Started — Pearl Fontaine on Fear and Pop Punk

    Ep.60: Pearl Fontaine dropped out of a lyric writing class in college because she wasn't ready to share herself. Years later, a bonfire in rural North Carolina changed everything. The lead singer of Post American Gothic grew up singing with her gospel-singing grandfather, chasing musical theater, and getting rejected from arts school… twice. After a stint at Berklee, a year in Brooklyn that ended with COVID, and a stretch of not making music at all, Pearl landed back in her small-town North Carolina roots with a new mission: start a band. What came out of that bonfire jam session with her now-husband Brandyn is a pop punk project with prog rock edges, hip-hop-influenced production, and a sound that defies every box Pearl spent years trying to fit into. IN THIS CONVERSATION, WE GET INTO: Getting rejected from arts school twice and how it redirected her entire creative pathThe COVID bonfire that accidentally launched Post American GothicWhy self-consciousness is still the biggest thing holding her back — and how she's fighting itPlaying three-hour sets that are 80% originals in a town with no real music venuesThe real meaning behind their single "Hello, Hello" — a letter to her younger self ABOUT PEARL FONTAINE: Pearl Fontaine is the lead singer of Post American Gothic, a pop punk band from Elizabeth City, North Carolina. With a background in musical theater, flute, and a year at Berklee College of Music, Pearl brings a classically trained voice to a band whose sound pulls from prog rock, emo, hip-hop production, and indie. She also works full-time at a local arts nonprofit where she teaches music to youth.

    59. “My Gut Has Never Led Me Astray” – KĪ on Trusting Yourself as an Artist

    KĪ picked up a ukulele during COVID with no music background, posted a few covers, and a Nashville management team came calling. Now she writes, produces, and releases everything herself. The Seattle-based pop artist started her music journey backwards: Nashville songwriting sessions and LA recording studios before she ever learned to produce on her own. But out of necessity came self-reliance, and out of self-reliance came the truest version of her art. KĪ talks about surviving domestic violence, teaching herself production because she couldn't afford not to, the 16th-century word that inspired her breakout single, and why trusting her gut has been the only thing that's never steered her wrong. IN THIS CONVERSATION, WE GET INTO: The 16th-century word "respare" and how it became her breakout singleLearning to self-produce out of financial necessity — and falling in love with itSurviving domestic violence and finding music on the other sideWhy trusting your gut is the most valuable lesson she's learned as an artistThe burnout trap: why "grind culture" is making indie artists miserable ABOUT KĪ: KĪ is a pop singer, songwriter, and producer from Seattle. She writes and produces her own music, blending accessible pop melodies with emotionally rich, hope-centered songwriting. Her singles include "Respare," "Loveless Sea," "Symphony of Sadness," and "The Cha CONNECT KĪ: Linktree: linktr.ee/Ki_musicofficialInstagram: instagram.com/ki_musicofficialYouTube: youtube.com/@ki_music_theofficialThreads: threads.net/@ki_musicofficialWebsite: ki-musicofficial.comBandcamp: ki-musicofficial.bandcamp.com PAST EPISODES REFERENCED: Ep 44: Why Most Artists Quit, and How to Survive the Silence with That Boy A.B.: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/44-why-most-artists-quit-and-how-to-survive-the/id1810336818?i=1000748365005Ep 42: Making Positivity Cool & Redefining Success in Music with AMACULENT: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/42-making-positivity-cool-redefining-success-in-music/id1810336818?i=1000746200392 MORE RESOURCES: Follow the OFFICIAL "loves music" playlist on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/library/playlist/p.4Y0J406i03DQrX "loves music" playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0qE3kq89oyg3tFNbmRfHEO?si=vopaKQnNS8OHn0r2fFTVBg Check out the "loves music" podcast website: https://www.podpage.com/loves-music/ Julian on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julianjones417/ Julian on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@julianjones417 Check out Julian’s book: https://a.co/d/0hzWNkiD This podcast is managed by Wildwave Podcasting: https://www.wildwavepodcasting.com MUSIC MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Songs: "Respare" — KĪ"Loveless Sea" — KĪ"Symphony of Sadness" — KĪ (co-written with Kyle Reynolds & Kaylian Lowe)"The Chase" — KĪ Artists & Bands: KĪKyle Reynolds (songwriter/producer)Kaylian Lowe (songwriter)AB (artist referenced by Julian)Ali Mac (previous guest, referenced by Julian)Frank SinatraNat King ColeCheetah GirlsPost Malone (referenced via Ali Mac)

    58. What 25 Years of Writing Songs Taught Him About Success, with Kyle Blankenship of Flip The Mule

    Kyle Blankenship drove past his childhood home one night and watched it burn to the ground. Ten minutes later, he'd written a song about it. The Nashville-area indie folk rock songwriter has been writing and playing music for over 25 years, but Flip the Mule is the project that finally feels like home. Alongside lifelong musical partner Tyler Bandy, Kyle is building a catalog rooted in rich storytelling, stacked harmonies, and a philosophy that success means finishing the art and putting it into the world. Kyle talks about why being a solo artist is easier but less fulfilling, what it takes to chase music without burning down everything else, and the phrase that changed his whole creative outlook. IN THIS CONVERSATION, WE GET INTO: The night he watched his childhood home burn and wrote a song in 10 minutesWhy being a solo artist is easier but being in a band is worth itBalancing music, family, and a full-time life without the "at all costs" mentalityThe songwriting philosophy that changed everything: "If it matters at all, it matters"How a 25-year creative partnership became Flip the Mule ABOUT KYLE BLANKENSHIP: Kyle Blankenship is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer based just south of the Kentucky state line near Nashville, Tennessee. He's released two solo albums under Kyle Blankenship & The Last 84 and previously played in The Good Side and Lines for Real.

    57. Why Withholding Your Album From Streaming Might Be the Move, with Rob Tait

    Ep.57: Rob Tait wrote a song about someone he loves, and didn't know who it was until he started crying. The Philly-based Americana singer-songwriter returns to “loves music” with his sophomore album Dear Lightkeeper, a record built on collaboration, community, and the audacity to withhold it from streaming entirely. Where his debut At the End of the World was an inward journal, this one reads like a love letter to the people who kept him going. Rob breaks down what happened when 250K streams didn't translate to real fans, what it means to write from a character's perspective for the first time, and why he's betting on vinyl over algorithms. IN THIS CONVERSATION, WE GET INTO: The song that revealed itself as a letter to his unborn daughter, mid-recordingWriting from a character's perspective for the first time with "Nickels and Dimes"Why 250K streams and a major playlist placement left him feeling emptyHow collaboration became the thesis of the entire albumRedefining success as connection instead of metrics ABOUT ROB TAIT: Rob Tait is a singer-songwriter and drummer from the pine barrens of New Jersey, now based in the Philadelphia area. His Americana-folk style blends storytelling vocals with deep rhythmic roots. Dear Lightkeeper is his second solo album, following 2024's At the End of the World, and he also performs with the band Cordelia Blue.

    56. He Taught Himself to Produce, Mix, and Master: Julian Martinez of Midnight Spies

    Julian Martinez taught himself to produce, mix, and master music from his bedroom, and now he's finishing a debut album that sounds like it came out of a professional studio. The guitarist, songwriter, and producer behind Houston-born duo Midnight Spies has spent the better part of the last half decade writing, tracking, mixing, and learning how to do it all himself. He and bassist Matt Newton started the project during the pandemic, taught themselves production from scratch, and now they’re finishing a debut album that spans new wave, synth pop, Brit pop, and funk, all without a label, a big budget, or a plan to slow down. Julian sat down with Julian Jones to talk about the grind behind the sound, what it’s like to chase a dream that doesn’t pay yet, and why playing White Oak Music Hall felt like arriving 10 years early. In this conversation, we get into: How Midnight Spies blend The Cure, Bleachers, and Prince into one cohesive soundWriting an album over five years and why the EP came out of it sidewaysLearning to produce, mix, and master your own music from scratchWhy music moves in 25-year cycles and what that means for bands right nowThe imposter syndrome that inspired their single “The Owl Sees All” About Julian Martinez / Midnight Spies: Midnight Spies is a new wave and synth pop duo from Houston (now Austin), TX, formed by guitarist/producer Julian Martinez and bassist/vocalist Matthew Newton. Their sound draws from The Police, Bleachers, 1975, and 80s Brit pop. Their debut album is expected later in 2026.

About

"loves music" is a podcast, hosted by me, Julian Jones, that celebrates music and the moments that made us fall in love with it. It’s for music-lovers who, despite the demands of life, remain passionate about their beloved albums and artists and still seek to discover new talent, whether online, internationally, or within the sweaty crowded bars of your hometown. It’s in us! We don't know why we do it; we just do… and we refuse to grow out of it. Every Thursday, I interview artists past and present about making music: their inspiration, their challenges, and the moments they will never forget. If you love or even have a dysfunctional relationship with music, come along, and share this show with someone who loves music.
