PODCAST

The Bull Schmidt Podcast turned into the Bull Schmidt Gang Podcast this week when I was joined by fellow bass-heads Trip Wamsley, Tom Shad, Gustav & Jay Terrien.

It's a totally informal chat with LARGE amounts of profanity and childish behavior. SO beware if you're sensitive like that.

This episode much more closely resembles what it sounds like when we're all hanging out having beers than a typical formal interview "SHOW". Which is exactly what I hoped for. Off the cuff - no holds barred conversation. Duck!

You may or may not learn anything (probably not) - but at least you can hang with the gang!

runtime - a thrill packed 60 minutes.

recorded this morning (in US) via Skype - a 55 minute chat with UK Solo Bassist Steve Lawson about all matter of music and geek related stuff.

I like talking with Steve about this stuff because he is similarly attracted to all things geek & web as I am. He's articulate on the philosophical aspects of music & bass that I really enjoy engaging in as well.

This will be a regular thing - every few weeks or so and will likely evolve over time into all kinds of issues & topics. I wanted to name the podcast something different than my usual "beautiful bass podcast". Nothing fancy really struck me other than that this is really a bullshit session.

So - viola! BULL SCHMIDT!

This whole thing came about on Twitter.
