One could argue that the sound of American indie rock and power pop was shaped by Mitch Easter. Of course, he produced those early REM albums that are practically canon now, but his own music with Let's Active and his partnership with the likes of Scott Miller (Game Theory, Loud Family) and the db's have further cemented his legendary status. Recently, he's lent his talents to the Salt Collective, a fascinating project by French artist Stephane Schuck that has gathered a bunch of all-stars (Mitch, Matthew Caws, Andy Partridge, Peter Holsapple, Ken Stringfellow, Juliana Hatfield, Richard Lloyd, Susan Cowsill etc) to release a couple albums, the most recent being A Brief History of Blindness. Mitch and I get into how he signed on to this project and everything else he's done. Enjoy!

I gotta hear this! That’s one of my favorite Monkees songs. I’ve always wished someone would do to that song what GnR did to Live and Let Die. It would be huge.

Great episode! Mitch has always been a favorite for me ...in case you didn’t know ,back in 91 or 92 mitch contributed a GREAT track ( Valerie)to a diabolical Monkees tribute lp called Hear no Evil a tribute to the Monkees, i believe he played all the instruments on it.
