Podcast: Interview with Under the Radar’s Dave Trout
by The Rabbit Room 15
On July 4th, 2013, Under the Radar will host its first-ever music festival. It’s called Escape to the Lake and it’s got more than a little of the Hutchmoot vibe to it, so we sat down with UTR’s founder, Dave Trout, and talked with him about the genesis of both the UTR radio show and the Escape to the Lake weekend.

Duende: Making Matthew Perryman Jones’ Land of the Living
by The Rabbit Room 10
One of our favorite records of the past year is Matthew Perryman Jones’ Land of the Living, produced by Cason Cooley. (If you saw the Behold the Lamb of God tour last year you may remember Matthew as one of the special guests.) If you haven’t listened his new record, go with great haste and do so. If you’ve already fallen in love with it, enjoy this short making-of film. If you’re still on the fence, this might be just the push you need.

by The Rabbit Room 03
John Cleese is one of the funniest men on earth. Not only does he have a fantastically silly walk, he’s also got great stuff to say about the work of creativity. You should listen to him. The following is an excerpt from a talk he gave in (or around) 1991.

Facing the Truth
I went to the doctor yesterday for the first time in years. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been sick; it means I’m the kind of stubborn fool who doesn’t like to take an ibuprofen for a headache, the kind of crank who would rather walk around squinting and snappy than to take the blasted aspirin. I just don’t like medicine. I prefer sweating it out, however inconvenient that is for the people around me. So after ten days of coughing and sniffling and whining I finally decided it must be a sinus infection. I have a show in a few days, and I can’t afford to be sick. So I bravely did what any man in my shoes would do: I asked my wife what to do. She told me which doctor to visit and I drove to the offices with a steely resolve. The nurse behind the sliding glass window handed me the clipboard with the dreaded New Patient Paperwork, and then the thing happened that made me want to write this.
The questions began. “Do you have any allergies?” “Do you drink caffeine?” “Do you use tobacco?” “If so, how often?” “Do you exercise regularly?” “Is there a history of heart disease in your family?” “Have you had any surgeries?
