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.

I haven't listened to it yet and I can't wait as the interview is 2 hr 4 min! I'll hold off on my comments as to not spoil the content...

What would you ask PUTS?

I'll select the best stuff I hear here to take with me to the show, and we'll see if I can ask it or not. In the meantime, Thes seemed okay with me asking about specific songs, so I may also compile a tiny list of specific questions.

Transcription here.

I'll try to get the rest of my audio from the two shows (SF & Oakland) soon.

Lemme know what you think.

The first is the San Francisco pre-show interview, with questions relating to rhyme-writing, and then an after-show chat session.

The second is the new Oakland interview, done at the very end of the night (from 1:56 a.m. 'til 2:45 a.m.) with random questions from me and some questions I collected by forum members.

This one's a little more choppy because Double K is really tipsy, Thes' voice was a little hoarse and he was still amped from the show, and the aforementioned "oddball guy" kept saying weird sh*t (he stopped after a while). Regardless, there's a minimum of redaction, and it should still be a nice, dynamic read. They argue for a while (but it's all in fun, and it's pretty funny), they get really serious, and they even get quizzed on their own stuff at the end by me (and do really well).

Let me know what you think, peoples.

Also, just to reiterate from the "Lyrics link..." thread, my website only has four things left to be completed: Funner Than Leather, The El Rey DVD, the L.A. Mike mixtape, and the "About PUTS + Timeline" YouTube page (that last one'll probably take awhile). (EDIT: this paragraph said "five", but I just got the "Finding Bin Laden" YouTube clip posted, so that's FOUR things left to do.)

Part 2

KN is a dope site, I'm sure some of ya'll know about it.

Peace!

Our good friend Odub who writes the music blog soul-sides.com and occasionally contributes to the LA Times and NPR, sat down with Thes for an hour-long interview - tons of classic PUTS stories that most haven't ever heard, the story of how Thes and Double K first met, and a little glimpse into the upcoming "10 Years of Thes One" box set.

This is only part one! There's always a lot to talk about when you get Thes and Odub going...part 2 coming soon...
