Episode 201: Parker Mason
Just like that we're off and rolling into the 200s, and I couldn't be happier than to share that Parker Mason is this week's guest on the podcast.
Parker is a son, a sibling, a partner, and a bandmate in various acts around Kansas City.
Check out @haikusforemus, @car.microwave, and @wearelandlion, all on Instagram.
Parker and I chatted growing up, diving into music and the Internet, wearing different role hats in bands, and the music-scene community around town.
We also talked about a few of his favorite albums, which were these:
Abbey Road (1969), The Beatles
Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane over the Sea (1998)
I'm Wide Awake It's Morning (2005), Bright Eyes
Sufjan Stevens' Carrie and Lowell (2015)
Circles (2020), Mac Miller
Not every guest I interview is as sharp and up to the task of having entertaining conversation as Parker was, and for that I consider myself lucky. Many thanks to him and to all of you that support the show.
Note: Emitt Rhodes was the name I was looking for.
Side Note: Heavy-duty congratulations to the United States Men's and Women's Ice Hockey Teams for bringing home double gold in Milan. Super, super cool.
