 Ep. 77 - Shing02 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:23:30

On a brief tour stop-over in NYC, our host Peter Agoston linked with the one and only Shing02 to talk his life and career. Later that night Shingo performed an incredible live-show with his band The Chee-Hoos as part of their Nujabes tribute concerts. Shing02, an integral piece to the seminal Bay Area underground hip-hop community of the late 90's, is both an accomplished visual artist as well as writer/producer. He is a bridge from the past to the future. Many revere with great respect the stack of songs he collaborated on with the beloved, late Tokyo producer Nujabes - namely their "Luv(sic)" hexology. We go there, back and there again in this memorable and rare long-form conversation. Hope you enjoy & don't forget to subscribe! Editors Update (3/25/18): - Nujabes passed 8 years ago in Feb 2010. - Nujabes did an interview with Sound and Recording, not Studio Voice.

 Ep. 75 - Lord Scotch 79 / KEO X-MEN | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 02:36:46

The often mythologized Lord Scotch is our special guest on the 75th episode of The House List podcast. Under the moniker KEO, he's been known for his deep roots in the NYC Graf world. Yet for years, among the inner circles of old school Rap historians there has been talk of Blake / KEO / SCOTCH79th as the original White Rapper. Note the intro from 1984, two years before the Beastie Boys debut 'Licensed To Ill' was released. Brooklyn born, native, we delve deep into the topic within the frame-work of a New York City life-story. This is a hustler's tale, an artist's tale. His has had many twists and turns, up and downs. I met him through my first release on Female Fun Records, MF DOOM's 'Special Herbs' Volume 1, which he art-directed (along with Operation: Doomsday, and numerous other related titles). But even that is just a very small piece to the puzzle of this person. as you will soon come to learn. We go in, hope you enjoy. Thank you for listening.

 Ep. 74 - Dooley-O | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 02:06:00

In this episode we go deep into the life and career of New Haven's native son Dooley-O. In this fun, frenetic convo we pry Dooley for as much back-story on his arch in the industry as possible. EPMD, Paul C, Stezeo, Chris Lowe, Stones Throw, Egon and of course .. Skull Snaps are all covered. But there is much much more at play here. I think any artist, hip-hop or not can relate to this account of pursuing a record deal with a trusted label/brand and ultimately getting the run around, time and time again. Working with a cast of characters as wide as the stage at Toad's Place. It's a story of 1990's hip-hop, the early days of discovered breakbeats and samples in neighbors basements. Alladat. Enjoy and do not forget to subscribe! The last song is an exclusive. Find more Dooley at: https://dooley-o.bandcamp.com/

 Ep. 73 - Louis Logic | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 02:12:57

Host Peter Agoston and our guest Louis Dorley go way back, back to Bushwick Brooklyn where Dorley was Agoston's landlord for 10 years. They're also 'underground hip-hop' survivalists, who here trade a few war stories which leads to some personal revelations. This is an in-depth, emotional, candid talk - the kind you can only find on The House List podcast. Please take a moment to subscribe. Louis' latest musical project is called ToyFriend, here is a link: /toyfriend.bandcamp.com

 Ep. 72 - Freddy Anzures | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:49:15

We're all new with Bay Area based designer/art-director/conceptualizer Freddy Anzures! Some may know Freddy for the integral roll he played in the invention of the first iPhone, but he was also the long-running art-director of Wax Poetics magazine and currently moonlights as the art-director of Glydezone Recordings. We caught up quite literally while on the run in San Francisco, so apologies for any audio rawness here. For anyone running a small label or trying to get a foot into the design world, Freddy is a person to keep an eye on. Truly an innovator. Thank you! Photo by: Drew Carolan (IG: fotoproof)

 Ep. 71 - Manifest | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:44:59

This episode isn't quite like most of our others. But it is just as enthralling if not more than any we've ever done. In today's conversation our host and for the time time to-date, our show's editor/engineer CJ, sat with guest Manifest aka Pistol Pete, for a late-night interview somewhere deep in Oakland, Calif. Around 2001, host Peter Agoston and MC Manifest often would perform together around the Humboldt Co. area - DJ and rapper duo. After moving from the area, Peter lost contact with Manifest only later to find that around 2007, that our guest, in an elaborate heist, robbed a casino in a small Northern California town for upwards of $200,000 cash and then seemingly vanished. This conversation finds Manifest, for the first time, recounting, in his own words, what happened before and after these events took place. This is meant as a cautionary tale, we at The House List don't condone many of the actions described in this re-telling and are proud of our guest for turning a new leaf in his life and re-focusing on his music. We will have him back on the show.

 Ep. 70 - Shilpa Ray | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:20:59

Welcome to our 70th Episode! We connected with the incredible song-writer, singer/performer Shilpa Ray on a chilled night in Brooklyn, NY. Shilpa and I are both 1st generation children of immigrants to the U.S., her story is one she tells with both aplomb and humility. After gigging the open-mic circuit of the East Village's Sidewalk Cafe, Shilpa's earlier works would be passed along to the luminary Nick Cave, who'd help in releasing 2013's 'It's All Self Fellatio'. Last year's full-length 'Door Girl' is where we connect so we dig our heels into the self-reflection of that great project and much much more. This will definitely be a treat for Shilpa fans and hopefully introduce folks that may not be hip to her music! Don't for get to subscribe where-ever you listen to podcasts.

 Ep. 69 - Count Bass D | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:53:42

Elated to have Count Bass D on the 69th episode of our modest lil podcast - I quickly engaged with the Count's music when I discovered 'T-Boz Tried To Talk To Me' back in 1994 while DJing on college radio WUVT 90.7FM. That quickly lead me to his seminal, ahead-of-its-time debut 'Pre Life Crisis'. From that point, I have carefully tracked his career and have made great efforts to collect as much of his music as possible. No easy task as Count's catalog is rich with many fantastic projects/albums. In this talk we go as far back as his adolescence, playing in the church with his father, a traveling preacher. We talk DOOM, Egon, Chris Lowe, Shock G, DJ Pocket, Jon Doe and much more. This is a RARE long-form conversation with Count - so we hope you enjoy & please spread the word + subscribe!

 Ep. 67 - MC Paul Barman | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:17:41

During the recent blizzard in New York City - our host Peter Agoston sat with very special guest MC Paul Barman to talk life. Paul is known for his acrostics, has a brand new album on the horizon. Having just recently released a free-mix-tape on his bandcamp, our host had plenty to ask him. They also share a birthday as well as shared a bottle of wine over the convo, so things wind in many directions much like Paul's own rhyme-patterns. Fresh for 2018, this is the first episode recorded in the new year. Please subscribe on SoundCloud - we are trying to get sub's up to 500 by end of month!
