New Music from Rob Crow

Rob Crow (@rob5d4), who you may know from Pinback, Goblin Cock, Optiganally Yours, Thingy, Heavy Vegetable, and a slew of other bands, as well as the composer of the theme song for this podcast, and the music of One-Headed Beast, has a new band called 'Rob Crow's Gloomy Place' which should resonate with Winnie the Pooh fans and particularly Eeyore. They have a new record, and they are taking it on the road. Here is an article about the new project, and there are also tour dates. Get your tickets while you can, and if they pass through your town, try to go see them. And stay tuned to the show. We'll try to get some sneak peeks of some tracks before the official release. I have seen this new endeavor perform live, and they are great.

Episode 12 – Sam Mandegaran pt. 2

sam-mandegaranSam Mandegaran, who studied at Princeton and Cal Tech, is back this week to continue our conversation about start-ups, electrical engineering, computer chips, film, and more. Sleek Zeke from El Segundo Brewing is the beer this week. It's a nice pale wheat ale. A call to Keith Blomberg, who directed One-Headed Beast, gets it started, and a song from Matthew Robins (a Snake Bit my Hand) closes it out. You can buy the album Noah's Ark here.

Episode 10 – Wes Campbell pt. 2

Harvard physicist Wes Campbell is back this week to discuss more about his research with atoms, his research project through UCLA, and many more quantum things. We sit down with some Pechish, a sour beer from Cisco Brewers, and get to the bottom of it all. A quick chat with my old pal Vern kicks it off, and music from Casual Strangers sends us out. They are based out of Austin, Texas, and the song is entitled Holocene Dream.

Episode 9 – Wes Campbell pt. 1

Wes Campbell, who has a PhD in Physics from Harvard, drops by the cave this week to share some sour beer from Black Market Brewing and chat about his research with the Campbell group through UCLA. We talk about atoms, quantum computers, the need for science, how it is disseminated, and more. We also learn about this, which Wes wanted to be shared -- and rightly so. A call to Alfonso Callejas kicks things off.

The end music is by Seres, and it is called Paralelos. You can find more here.
