    I commented on one of Joseph’s Instagram posts earlier, suggesting that Mike McCready would be a great guest for his podcast.

    His response was... “It’s coming”  o 



    I really hope this happens! Some of the episodes have been great, especially the Mark Lanegan and Michael Imperioli ones.
    Awesome! I'm listening to the Vernon Reid episode right now. He gets incredible guests.

    It is awesome! Love it. Better than his last two solo albums IMO (not that I didn't really like those).

    It drives me crazy how scattered his catalog is. Recently pulled the trigger on a Redemption City vinyl. The only way I can listen to it now is via mp3.

    The Redemption City vinyl is BEAUTIFUL, both in appearance and sound. Plus it's a kickass album that highlights his versatility within his catalogue. I love it.

    inspired me to bust out my copy...a gem in my dusty collection.

    In your way find a way...free
    Give it up to your destiny

    It's like psychedelic folk new wave smashed to pieces then carefully put back together. Something like that. Glad he has the guts to let it happen and share it with those who understand.

    It's crazy how he just threw the album up online one day and that was the release. I think it's my favorite record of his. It's definitely the one I go back to the most.

    You should definitely get Arthur Buck. I think it’s right up there with Joseph’s best albums

    Anyone else who follows JA's social media struggling with his new anti-vax obsession? I've had to unfollow him. :frowning: Most of his posts are now about this, and how his anti-vax voice is being oppressed by the frightened, angry sheeple. It's so off-putting. He does have a right to his opinions, but I find this particular message dangerous as well as irritating AF, at least when it's as relentless as he's being about it, so have had to shut him down for now. I'm so bummed out by this, since he is one of my favorite artists... But he's lost a LOT of my respect with all this crap, and I feel like he's teetering on the edge of the deep end right now. I hope he grows out of it soon.

    Yup... I made the mistake of going down the rabbit hole of his IG feed last week. It legit made me sad, NGL. 
    Agreed, he's entitled to his opinion, I just don't understand how a person can ignore the way hospitals got overwhelmed by the sheer # of infected people leading to more deaths. His POV comes off as pretty selfish and narrow minded... I too had to unfollow.

    I also met him once after one of the 2 RNDM shows I saw, and he was super cool - I still admire him as an artist / songwriter / performer... but this recent behavior definitely changes my opinion of him as a person, at least in the short term (not that I knew all that much about him outside of RNDM, but regardless... this BS is tough to watch and harder to support).

    Yeah some of the shit he's posting is way out there. He gets angry when people call him a conspiracy theorist, but will happily shoot people down as being 'indoctrinated' and 'controlled'. It's the kind of fake news social media crap that starts out as an opinion, but quickly descends into paranoid ramblings. 

    It's really sad to see. I've had a few genuinely interesting and helpful conversations with Joe over the years, either in DMs or through replies to each other's comments, but this is getting painful to watch now.

    I haven't unfollowed yet (mainly because I'm waiting for news on the album he's done done with Peter Buck, Rich Robinson and Barrett Martin), I just have to keep scrolling past his rants

    I had to unfollow him too, it was just too much.  I have a feeling there isn’t going to be anymore RNDM albums. I really liked his music and even bought some of this art.

    Some of his most recent posts - in between all of the anti-vax madness - have mentioned that his partner is having a baby.
    That’s pretty great news, hopefully it will bring him back to some kind of normality (that sounds really patronising, but I wish him well)
