This week I’m on two podcasts back to back, one as a guest on Them Jeans’s Tall Tales and then my own Small Talk, with New York Times music writer Jon Caramanica and frequent guest MERO.

TALL TALES WITH THEM JEANS

“I travel to New York and record a podcast high atop time square with DJ, producer, label owner, party thrower, and podcaster DJ Ayres.  We chat about NY, editing movies, the creative process, raising kids, the Polish people, sex, BJ’s, and so much more.”

DJ Ayres & JD – Houston Tape by Dj Ayres on Mixcloud

JD and I recorded this tape at the height of the Houston rap invasion (2004/2005), when the biggest songs on the radio all over the US were Slim Thug, Paul Wall, Mike Jones and Chamillionaire. We looked back at the history of Houston rap (and a little Port Arthur), digging into JD’s deep crates and selecting the absolute best jams. Matt Sonzala and Roxy Cottontail hosted a big Houston rap show during CMJ that year, where we got access to a bunch of the rappers for drops. RIP H.A.W.K.
