Emil Amos charts the birth and development of the classic archetype ‘The Outsider’, telling disturbing and often humiliating stories about growing up in a small town in the 90’s. Every other episode digs into the archaeology of lesser-known music to illuminate the same themes from a more objective, historical perspective.
LONER LEGENDS IV brings us to the end of SEASON SIX with a new installment of the central music pillar of the cast.⛲️
I’d been saving covering one of the greatest songwriters of all time for a few years now so its a relief to finally get to tell the story of the great RAMASES… check out his record ‘Space Hymns’ immediately!. The second genius on the list for today is Gary Davenport… check out his record ‘Scattered Thoughts’ immediately! And then for a special feature I flew out to Portland and interviewed the great Jed Bindeman who runs a killer record store called ‘Little Axe’ and two different labels called “Freedom to Spend” and “Concentric Circles”. Jed is one of the deepest cassette diggers in the world and has uncovered vast amounts of private tapes, found the artists and issued these records for the first time on LP. He’s put in a very special kind of work, a labor of love similar to this podcast, that will help people slowly realize there’s a massive universe of art thriving that’s fully outside of the central capitalist stream.
