Not exactly sure how my friends Greg and Jay from Social Blend were able to swing it, but they have Nataly Dawn from YouTube/ video song superstars Pomplamoose.

She talk about the following:

• How Pomplemoose started and gained popular using YouTube
• Their early struggles
• Using covers to make fans aware of your music
• How they choose covers
• What music inspire them and their work
• Why they are indie
• What it means to be indie
• Upcoming collaborations
• Where she thinks she looks like a hooker
• How they are able to keep their sanity as their popularity increases
• Her new Kickstarter campaign she started to raise money for her latest project
• And more..

Bottom line, whether you are a music fan or musician, there is a ton of great stuff in this interview. Very inspiring!

OH and one more thing, please share this podcast with anyone your can. Greg, Jay and Nataly all work very hard and deserve to have their work heard.

What do you get when you grab a Geek of Doom (Greg Davies), an electronic musician who loves gaming (Terr Ciavarra) and a music blogging folk rock musician dad (me) and record their conversation?

You get a podcast filled with…

• Songs by underrated musicians that pretty pretty damn good
• Music facts that I bet you may not know but wished you had (or not, fun either way)
• Insight on being a dad and musician (Greg asked what my kids thought about their daddy being a musician)
• An exploration of Micheal Bolton the rocker versus Micheal Bolton the crooner (this will surprise you)
• A little Google+ for bands chat (We just couldn’t resist)
• The merits of being an “analog” artist versus a “digital” artist and something about vinyl.
• And some other stuff I missed

In one of the funnest episodes I’ve ever done with the guys from Social Blend we are joined by Empress Eve Conte from GeeksOfDoom.com to take a look and listen to music from 1986. Oh! And we talk about some of the movies from that year too.

I think you will be amazed, as we were, at all of the great music and movies that came out that years.

Here’s another episode of Craniumelody over on Social Blend. this time the guys and I tried to come up with music to share that is the soundtrack to our lives (not and easy task by the way).

Also, we have some pretty interesting discussions on other things like the Rock Against Drugs campaign of the 80′s and and the one and only Kiss album to never go platinum or gold.

Ok I know what your thinking, “Here he goes again, pimping himself and his music”. Ya, ya, ya I don’t blame you for thinking that because you are at right – at least partially. But hear me out.

Along with sharing my indie music experiences with you, the main reason I wanted to share this interview is to introduce you to a new podcaster/musician friend of mine, Eric and his podcast Songwriter Synergy.

Before conducting the interview I listened to a few episode and I really liked the subject matter. Stuff like songwriting, equipment, live performance reviews, etc.

Anyway, stop by and check out my interview, then subscribe and listen to all of the others Eric has to offer.

Go listen to the interview with Corey Koehler on Songwriter Synergy.

In true Musicgoat fashion, the music on this podcast ranges from acoustic soul to straight folk to all points in between.

Mellow, insightful, upbeat, soulful, motivational and a just an overall great podcast to grab a drink and kick back too.

Listen now and share with everyone you know (they will love you for it).
