The Crushed Monocle Podcast is a show where Jon and Coop talk about stuff. ALL the stuff! Music, movies, shows, life, or whatever. Naturally, they will mispronounce names, poke fun at themselves, and never fail to profess their love for the 1995 masterpiece, Showgirls. Doesn’t that excite you? Sure it does! This is why you must subscribe to this podcast on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you consume fine podcasts. This is the Crushed Monocle Podcast: Episode 32 – Mike McGinnis of Rid Of Me!
In the 32 of Crushed Monocle Podcast, Jon and Coop are joined by Rid Of Me’s Mike McGinnis.
Mike McGinnis has been an integral part of the noise-rock scene for quite a few years. Originally from the band Fight Amp and Low Dose before their dissolution in 2019. You may know him these days as the guitarist and co-founder of RID OF ME. Their sophomore record Access To The Lonely was a runaway success and found the band on many year-end lists praising the record for its chaotic beauty. McGinnis is also the founder of the indie Philidelphia label Knife Hit Records.
In addition to Rid Of Me, Jon, Coop, and Mike also talk about:
- Philidelphia’s scattered (yet solid) music scene
- Are Talking Heads great or annoying?
- Plugging bands you had no idea your friends were in
- Receiving an over-abundance of demos from artists
- Guesting on podcasts when you should be writing riffs
Most Importantly, Jon, Coop, and Mike discuss the importance of indie record labels.
