How To Make A Mixtape 3: Isaac Brock and Naheed Simjee

(more photos to come)

At the risk of embarrassing myself and my guests, tonight's guest plays such an enormous role in the development of the way that I seek out, listen to and enjoy music and has been for more years than I care to relate.  Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock and his long term girlfriend Naheed are in the studio tonight expressing the roller coaster that is a 6 year long distance relationship through other people's art by way of mix tapes.  I hope you enjoy the show!

Thanks Josh for having us on the show...it was super fun and we liked staring at your facial expressions in response to when we spoke our nonsense. The pre-show Beatles Rock Band jam party was pretty stellar too...and you are an amazing cook.

What a cool concept for a show. I used to dj at KXLU and now am a professor there at LMU - if I'd known this was going to be on, I might have come up with some dumb excuse to stop by the station. I'll definitely be listening for this Sunday's installment!

Thanks for all the good music guys! Take care of yourself (yourselves?). Dig the show Josh, will be keeping up on it.

It's great to be exposed to great music by great people... nice show. I really, really enjoyed it. Very... real. Lovin them tunes right up.

Thanks!

I've considered using Cabin Fever in a mix for a girlfriend before, it's funny how Isaac uses pretty much every band he's signed to Glacial Pace on his. On Don't Move Here he was talking about how to sign a band he had to really believe in the music... looks like he means it.

also, Naheed opening with (or even using) Silver Jews automatically gained my respect.
