Philip Clark is a son, a brother, a husband, a vinyl collector, and a music lover. He has hosted a radio show and a podcast, and has been a vocalist for B.A.T.S., The Dead Laughter, and Johnny Switchblade.
He was also kind enough to be my guest for Episode No. 125 of Badass Records.
Philip and I covered a decent amount of ground in just under two hours, and a good portion of that was centered on discussing a few of his favorite albums. Those were these:
Kind of Blue (1959), Miles Davis
Shawn Phillips' Collaboration (1970)
Station to Station (1976), David Bowie
Patti Smith's Radio Ethiopia (1976)
Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables (1980), Dead Kennedys
Misfits' Walk Among Us (1982)
Doolittle (1989), Pixies
Danzig's Danzig II: Lucifuge (1990)
Let Love In (1994), Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Modest Mouse's The Lonesome Crowded West (1997)
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (1998), Neutral Milk Hotel
Nine Inch Nails' The Fragile (1999)
The Decline (1999), NOFX
Songs: Ohia's The Lioness (2000)
Something About My 20s (2016), Four Arm Shiver
Chatting with Philip was a lovely time, and -- once you've checked out our conversation -- you should ready yourself to see him perform reunion-style, live with Johnny Switchblade as part of the 3rd Annual Darryl Memorial, Saturday, July 13th, at Farewell (6515 Stadium Drive in Kansas City). There are three other acts on the bill. Doors at 7:00; music at 8:00.
Thank you to Philip and to all of those that support the podcast.
Cheers.
