For the latest #newmusic podcast, Bill Cummings and Jim Auton are joined by Josh Gaffin host of the Afternoon show on WTSQ 88.1FM in Charleston, West Virginia in the United States.
They chat about the chaos in the world, the post-Strokes wave in New York in the 00s, and how the lines between indie and pop music are being blurred. Why the tortured genius narrative is corrosive and why artists should be treated better by festivals and more.
Josh was raised in Brooklyn. He spent his teen years working in local radio culminating in a glorious week of broadcasting with Radio NewYork International from a ship anchored off the Long Island coast. Josh has worked for Rough Trade Records, Virgin Records and California punk label, Frontier Records. Plus been an assistant to Lou Reed!
