Episode 899: Peter Blackstock

Hello friends! I hope you're all safe and healthy while sheltering at home. Legendary music journalist, co-founder and editor of No Depression magazine, Peter Blackstock joins me for episode 899! As a writer for the Austin American-Statesman, Peter has been busy keeping folks up on who's live streaming and when since the closure of clubs almost two weeks ago. Find him at austin360.com or follow him at @blackstock360 on Twitter. We have a great conversation about growing up in Austin and the scene in the mid-80's and early 90's, moving to Seattle at the dawn of Grunge, co-founding No Depression magazine and what it meant to Americana, life under quarantine and much more! I am a fan of Peter's work and I had a great time getting to know him. I'm sure you will too. 

Usually the 99th episode of the hundred is a mixtape I make of artists that have been on the show in the last hundred episodes. I skipped that this year to keep the conversations coming during our collective quarantine. However, I made a Spotify playlist with over two hours of music from artists that have been on the show in the last 99 episodes!!! Music from artists like Little Mazarn,  Mobely, Fastball, Sydney Wright, Shinyribs, Kydd Jones, The Deer, Brownout, William Harries Graham, Calliope Musicals, DAYEATER and many more! Listen HERE!

Ciao! -JG
