It’s been 2 years since Mike passed (1/30/21) and 20 months since I’ve produced an episode of my podcast The House List. In 1999 I interviewed People Under The Stairs for the first time, on Cambridge St. in Mid City LA. It was my also my first time visiting Los Angeles, I slept in my car that night. Since then they’d release 12 albums, many of which I covered in the press, filmed for my own archive or booked their tours for. After Mike’s passing it seemed very real that we may never hear anything from the group again. Then Thes called me about a studio session at @64sound - he was assembling a band, to pay tribute to Mike, for what later he’s pen as a ‘tone poem’. I played some percussion, we raised a glass of that extra potent Double K beer. Just a few weeks ago, while happened to be at another memorial, this time in Carlsbad, Thes called and asked if he could sample some portions of my 2018 interview with Double K for that same project. I was moved by the thought - and last Friday, the album/tone poem, “Farewell, my friend” was released. Today you can listen to an in-depth convo and an all new House List, with Thes about the process, and about Mike. We included a clip of my 1999 interview - lifted from the original Hi-8 video. This was edited and engineered by Mike’s brother, Elijah. In this post I included some random images, us in Banff in Feb ‘18, the marquee of Troubador Aug ‘16, a ‘street team’ letter from Om Records to me in 2000 when I drove across country dropping PUTS flyers at record stores while filming a documentary, and an URB article I wrote circa 2000. The podcast is available streaming on all platforms now / link in bio. Peace @piecelock70 and Mike’s family and friends.

Culturama »  Today I posted our 50th episode of The House List, the first time I ever went to Los Angeles back in the 90s, I crashed on this guys couch. Actually, I slept in my car the first night, then his couch. Since then I've had court-side seats for him and his partner Mike's journey on every album they've released - Chris Portugal, Thes One of People Under The Stairs. It's a fantastic conversation....Now, I gab about this in the show's intro but when I got sick in 2014, I spent a lot of time in a hospital bed unable to move, see or do much of anything. So eventually I started listening to podcasts so other people's conversations/lives could help me pass the time and distract my mind. This carried on thru the countless lonely hours in dialysis (Shout out to Steve at Irving Place) and later when I was able to walk again. When I decided to try and produce my own - it was a way to see old friends I might not otherwise and people I think are cool. The social life of a booking agent can disappear very suddenly once you aren't of use to a client / manager anymore, so My social circle was only my very closest loved ones, and this damn podcast helped me get re-engaged with people. The self-promotion part is def not my favorite thing, there are more important things going on. But 50 episodes on a no-string-budget is tits IMHO. Shout out to all yall on this thing.
