how did i get here?

”Johnny Goudie is the Marc Maron of Austin music. The veteran singer/guitarist – best known for fronting early Nineties pop band Mr. Rocket Baby and, later, his major-label rock act, Goudie – stepped up to the microphone with a new intention in 2011 and launched the How Did I Get Here? podcast. Now 840-some episodes in, the hourlong, twice-weekly interview show gives the host a platform to really connect with his Austin music guests, not just on what’s happening in their careers, but also in the shared experience of music appreciation – and that’s where he truly shines.” -The Austin Chronicle 2019

Hello and welcome to How Did I Get Here? From The Vault! Today we go back to December 15, 2017, episode 652 with Armadillo World Headquarters: A Memoir authors, Eddie Wilson and Jesse Sublett! Have a safe and happy new year! Below are my original notes from the show.
Hello friends! Austin music legends Eddie Wilson and Jesse Sublett are my guests on the show today! Eddie Wilson started The Armadillo World Headquarters in 1971, brought the cowboys and the hippies together under one strange and beautiful roof to bond over music made by people that would go on to be some of music's greatest legends. He and musician/author, Jesse Sublett wrote the definitive story of the celebrated, historical music/art venue. Armadillo World Headquarters: A Memoir by Eddie Wilson with Jesse Sublett is an amazing account of the place and the people set in motion the Austin music scene that we know today. You can find it at awhq.com We have a great conversation about getting AWHQ started, why Eddie left AWHQ, great stories about the old days at The Adrmadillo, Threadgill's, Thanksgiving with The Grateful Dead and much, much more.

Nanette is a realtor here in Austin, but in the late 80's and early 90's, she was an Austin music influencer, and was out every night seeing music and being part of this music scene.

Nathan Olivarez 1965-2023

Sunday Dec 10, 2023

Sunday Dec 10, 2023

It's a sad day in the Austin music scene. Yesterday, rocker, Nathan Olivarez from Stupid Drama passed away. Nathan's spirit and music will be missed by so many. He's been a huge part of this music scene for over 30 years. His encouragement and generosity touched so many. Myself included. My thoughts are with his wife, his family and close friends. I loved Nathan and am so saddened by this loss. This conversation is from ep 833 in August of 2019 with Nathan and his Capzeyez partner, Dave Prewitt. Rest in peace Nathan. You'll be missed.
