First of all thanks to all of you who have been lending your ears. The first series of the show was a good start and it has been awesome to have some friends along for the ride. At its core, the first series was all about music theory. It was a “Hey, theory isn’t so...
I went out hunting this morning. Hunting for old, wooden, crunchy, broken, metal, grungy, textured sounds. All as part of pre-production for Series #2 of Sounds Like An Earful, titled “The Workshop”. Here is a quick video blog of me collecting bits and pieces for the new episodes that will start in the coming weeks....

He chats with Dylan White (who has recently returned from a cross-Atlantic rowing expedition) about how music became a way for everyone
I’m away this week, but this morning I give you this little puzzle from the road to tickle your brain bits, to noodle your noggin’, to confound your cranium….. If you are one of those people who scoffs at word games and riddles, quit suppressing your inner child, he/she wants out! We will return to...
Today we talk about our feelings. Over the course of the week two volunteers took part in an experiment to try and find out just how much the music you listen to affects how you behave in your daily life. If you totally changed your entire music collection, would it actually change you as a...
Heinali is a musician (and from what I know, a really solid guy) living and working in Kiev, Ukraine. His music falls somewhere in and around the post rock genre. He plays with sound design & instrumentation, experiments with composition & timbre, but always keeps a feeling at the center of it all. His music...
Alright, so obviously its my duty to remind you to download all of our episodes onto your iPod/MP3 player/phone/doohicky… However! If for some reason you are looking for a break from my ramblings, you really should also check out a few of these… The Mercury Theatre Archives ! If you aren’t familiar with the Mercury Theatre,...
Extras: Balance by Sounds Like An Earful In today’s extra we talk about whether you favor your left ear or your right ear. Participate in our experiment and we’ll figure out if there is some sort of universal bias toward one side or the other! Let us know your scores AND whether you are right...
Dissonance & Sending The Kids To Gramma’s House by Sounds Like An Earful In our third episode, we explore dissonance. Those glorious, challenging relationships between pitch, rhythm and melody. A number of guests argue why they believe music needs to favor consonance or dissonance… Aaaand, we have children. Then choose which one of them is...
So, I took an (arguably) bad bet with a business man that I could do a better job of marketing my podcast than his money could. Instead of paying for billboards, my insane approach is to literally write a song for every human. So now I get up 10 minutes earlier, pick someone at...
