About this listen

The world of music with a San Diego slant: The SoundDiego Podcast brings the NBC 7 TV show and music platform to online life with an exploration of the community local musicians and music fans — and touring acts headed San Diego’s way — live and breathe in, from the moment they order their breakfast burrito to the time they call it a night at the Casbah. Host Dustin Lothspeich is a San Diego Music Award winner and longtime chronicler of the weird and unforgettable scene and will plug you in or show you where there’s an outlet.

  • "My blood was on fire the whole time" -- Voice of San Diego's Scott Lewis

    "My blood was on fire the whole time" -- Voice of San Diego's Scott Lewis
    Jun 6 2020
    This week's episode of the SoundDiego Podcast welcomes Voice of San Diego's Scott Lewis. Originally from Utah, he joined VoSD in 2005, settling in Ocean Beach. By 2008, he was its CEO, a role he occupies to this day. For the unfamiliar, Voice of San Diego is an award-winning nonprofit news organization known for its in-depth investigative reporting and the way it explains and digs into local public policy issues (its motto is Unveiling the Unseen). In addition to writing for the outlet, he also co-hosts its weekly Voice of San Diego Podcast, as well as the Good Schools for All podcast, and also makes appearances on NBC7's San Diego Fact Check segments Fridays at 6 p.m. Please visit VoiceofSanDiego.org to see Scott (and the rest of the VoSD team) in action.Listen/subscribe to the SoundDiego Podcast on your favorite podcasting platform: Apple Podcasts | Google Play | Spotify | StitcherEpisode 16 Show Notes:If you're like Scott and missed Post Malone's livestream of Nirvana covers — that he did for charity by the way — do yourself a favor and check it out now. He's got a great voice!Tool is a band that both Scott and Dustin quite enjoy. Check out SoundDiego's photos from the prog-metal band's latest San Diego concert (which Scott was at and described as, "It was just thrilling. My blood was just on fire the whole time") right here.Scott talked about how he can't stop listening to the two new Nine Inch Nails records ("Ghosts V: Together" and "Ghosts VI: Locusts") that dropped recently. The way he described 'em is so perfect: "It's like massage therapy music except if they're going to cut out your kidney in the middle of it." They're both instrumental (so those of you hoping for some killer Trent Reznor vocals are gonna have to wait) but the best part is: they're absolutely free! Head here and download 'em now.Here's the amazing column Dave Grohl published in The Atlantic recently about the state of live music. Read it now.If, for some reason, Dustin's brief rendition of George Michael's "Careless Whisper" didn't ring any bells, here's the song's official video.This episode's Spotlight song of the week is "Behind the Wheels" by San Diego Music Award-winning hip-hop group Parker Meridien featuring Black Heart Procession's Pall Jenkins and Orko Eloheim. Find it and the rest of their latest album, "The Bully Pulpit," on their Bandcamp page and website and be sure to follow them on Instagram and Twitter.The SoundDiego Podcast's next guest is Nine Inch Nails' Ilan Rubin!
