Special Guests: Isaac Brock and Naheed Simjee

Mass Production is bringing another episode in the ongoing theme, "How To Make A Mixtape". This episode's guests are Isaac Brock (Modest Mouse, Ugly Casanova, Glacial Pace Recordings) and Naheed Simjee (General Manager of Glacial Pace Recordings).

If you haven't been following, here is the concept behind "How To Make A Mixtape": I have grown tired of interviews; I don't quite feel comfortable asking artists the same questions that they have been asked a thousand times, thereby forcing them to rehash the same story for the thousandth time all while pretending that the conversation is completely natural and spontaneous. Instead, I have found that a lot more can be revealed about a person by the way in which they construct a mixtape for someone. So, rather than interviewing guests, I have them make a mixtape for someone specific who they can reveal or keep secret. We discuss progression, listening vs. saying something, lyrics vs. melody, dynamics and how an artist uses other people's music to communicate something extraordinarily personal...yet broadcasted. Isaac and Naheed have been together, worked together and influenced each other for years and will be making mixes for each other on this coming episode.
