The TTLM Podcast Taking the Lead Media

Welcome to the first episode of 2024. I have an 808 Punk scene themed episode, all local punk bands on this show, plus a new one from local punks (now based in Portland, Oregon), Generic. I also talk about my first time seeing National Product, Unit 101's demo tape, how I picked up a copy of El Enemigo's only album, and attending Smitz album release show. Enjoy the episode!

From the Vault: Episode #14 of the Taking the Lead Media Podcast. Original release date: 02/2010 (It could have been 02/05/2011).
I was about 6 months into doing this podcast and having all sorts of fun. Myspace was still a place I did all my correspondence through. I got in touch with every single one of these bands through Myspace with the excepetion of Unit 101, I think I got Jason Miller's blessing to play this track, who would eventually be a guest (yay!) on my podcast 10 years later :D. I got in touch with Chris while he was doing Lands on Fire and got a copy of the Mr. Orange Undercover track from him. I heard Anchors on Myspace, they're from Australia and just fell in love right away. That album, Bad Juju, would later be re-released through Creator-Destructor Records here in the states. She Likes Todd was a band from Chicago that played really great punk-pop, members went on to form Set Fire to Reason. Tear the Place Apart! was a band from Spokane, Wa, and I think they may have been playing with a band from Portland, I saw them on the same bill and decided to look them up. Enjoy the episode!

From the Vault: Episode #13 of the Taking the Lead Media Podcast. Original release date: 12/30/2010. Every year (since 2005) I compiled a list of 25 of my favorite albums. In 2010, this was the first time I shared the list with anyone, and on this episode, I play a track from 16 of those releases. The list includes a mix EP's, full albums, and even singles from 2010.

On August 05, 2023, SØØN played its final show at Aupuni Space. Other bands that played were Feeble, Aswang, and Ten Things (I Hate About You). The last time I got to see SØØN was at Feeble's album release show for Growing out of Touch, back in December 2019, which was also that last time I saw Feeble. It was a really fun show, I had a great time and glad I got to check it out. The annoucement for the final show happened just a few weeks before the event, bummer, but it was a dope set. Cheers to SØØN.
