60. The Mona Reels
Portrait of the artist by Lani Morrison
Today’s guest is Peter David Connelly of the excellent group Mona Reels, whose latest self-released album is called “Without Love.” In addition to the band’s output over the past twenty years or so, we talk about how to hack the algorithms that police low-res photos, worshiping The Beach Boys, the role of piano in contemporary rock music, and on top of all that Peter gives a few piano and vocal performances we taped in his home here in Olympia. This episode is available on video, filmed and directed by Andrew Ebright at TCTV Studio A. The audio version is also available for those who don’t like to watch stuff, below.
