RUINOUS Presents Ruinous Media

Demoitus isn't just the artistic fear or regret that you've "lost the magic" on the path from first demo recording of a song to the “studio” version. It's also the experience musicians and artists go through getting to the final version.... the people, the spaces and the resources that influence the process. 
As the 20th anniversary of the release of The Shins Oh, Inverted World arrives, we hear about the creation and the evolution of that album’s 2001 hit song New Slang with James Mercer, singer, songwriter and founding member of The Shins. We dive in with James and learn about the inspiration that helped create New Slang and The Shins itself, as well as hear for the first time the original micro cassette bedroom demos of the classic song.
Demoitis is hosted by Joe Plummer (Modest Mouse, The Shins, Mister Heavenly, Cold War Kids) and Dann Gallucci (Murder City Devils, Modest Mouse) and produced by Ruinous Media and Little Everywhere.

We all want to celebrate, restore, and responsibly manage our wilderness areas. When Bobby Whitaker got off the road as a tour manager with REM and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, he did too and that’s exactly what happened. In this podcast, hear how Bobby Whitaker combined his tour managing skills and his love for the outdoor community to conquer the hearts and minds of a small Northwest town. 
Bobby Whitaker IS the Northwest. He’s perfectly half grunge and half outdoors. When a young Bobby wasn’t learning the rules of the road with rockers Mudhoney, his alpinist/REI founding dad was showing him the rules of the woods in the Puget Sound. Hear the harrowing story of how he built a beautiful 25-mile trail on an otherwise unused rail corridor that benefits the community economically and brings them together. If you like Rock-N-Roll intuition and love the outdoors, let Bobby show you how dedication to community, hard work, and a little bit of punk rock attitude will build a beautiful space for everyone to enjoy.
