W♥M036: Graeme K

Subscribe to our show at gcast.com (RSS) or mypodcast (RSS). If you have an iPod or can see images on your MP3 device, I recommend gcast as it will properly display the custom cover artwork. The reason why mypodcast’s files does not display the artwork is because mypodcast modify the file I upload. Apparently they have the amazing ability to insert advertisements anywhere in the podcast, but they are dumbfounded when it comes to displaying album artwork :/

The talented Mister Graeme K (myspace.com/graemekmusic), stopped by on W♥M Radio to talk about his delightful mixey mashey collage EP is called Hidden Beast. I previously only briefly mentioned Graeme K in my birds article, you should check it out if you haven’t seen it.

Once back from his upcoming tour, he’ll settled down to record a new record, and hopefully we’ll have him back on in 2009.

In the meantime, we had a wonderful time talking about music and such:

• The mysterious “K”
• Where all the music Graeme samples from
• His equipment and software used to make his music
• Childhood in Maine, being on radio, performances
• Not being in “the (music) know”
• Next record heavily influenced by The Wedding Present
• Upcoming tour (see details below)

Hidden Beast is out now at the usual locations digitally at iTunes/Amazon, but for a physical copy of the CD, it’s print-on-demand via kunaki.com (which ironically is much cheaper at $6 per CD). Still not convinced? Well you can listen to the whole album in its entirety at Lala.
