Welcome to Season 2 of Dane's World! Being the first episode of the new season, I thought it was time to move the podcast to the next level with the introduction and ongoing inclusion of guest speakers. This is something I've wanted to do since the podcast started but haven't had the technical means to make it happen. Finally, I am in a place to where I can have guests regularly on the podcast. Today's guest is Jace Kimbrell, an amazing friend from school of rock and a fellow musician/bandmate in our current project 'Formalities'. Jace is an extremely talented guitarist/vocalist and one of the greatest people I have had the honor of meeting and playing music with. As my current biggest supporter, I thought I'd give him the honors of being my first guest in this new evolution of the podcast. Stay tuned for more guests in the near future, and thank you for watching! 

(Sorry for the small amount of audio issues throughout this episode, I can only mix these guest episodes on the spot while recording so it may be a little rough around the edges until I get the hang of things.)

In this episode I dig into the concept of hatred and ask pressing questions about why we hate as humans, what creates a hateful mind, and how hatred may be a more passive and natural experience than many may think. Lots of talks about the distinction between positivity and negativity and when one or the other is appropriate along with the important balance that should be struck between the two.

In this return from hiatus, I discuss a sociological concept known as the Dramaturgical Model (developed by Erving Goffman). Simply put, the theory paints life and the social interactions within it as that of a theatrical production. I first learned about this theory in my Sociology textbook for college and found it not only fascinating but strangely aligned with how I have viewed my own life for a very long time. Feel free to take a listen to find out more. Thank you!

This is a simple one! I just wanted to check in after a break to let you all know that I'm still here and tell you about what's been going on behind the scenes, nothing too crazy! Just having a chat. New episodes and reviews in the works. Thank you so much for your patience!

In this episode I review and break down the newest and darkest release from Louisville Desolation Americana project, Jaye Jayle. Despite my initial hesitation towards Evan Patterson's newly electronic approach to his hauntingly desolate sonic mantras of storytelling, I have become totally fascinated with the story that this album tells and find myself captivated by Jaye Jayle's approach to an electronic folk album. Written and Composed while on the road during an international tour, Evan Patterson projects intriguingly odd anecdotes from his confused and tired mind; musically journaling his experiences throughout a journey across the world in what was considered an inescapable, hallucinogenic, mobile purgatory.

Jaye Jayle - Prisyn:

1. A Cold Wind

2. Don't Blame the Rain

3. Synthetic Prison

4. The River Spree

5. Making Friends

6. Guntime

7. Blueberries

8. I Need You

9. The Last Drive

10. From Louisville

Here's my second monthly ramble where I catch you up on what I've been up to and what's been going on in life. I talk about how my last month has gone along with a brief summary of what days will look like moving forward, capitalizing with an unplanned ramble about the state of our world and where I think things may take us in the future. Thank you so much for listening!

In this episode, I bring to you my second album review and hopefully a much better review all around. In this review I break down the most recent release from German Post Rock Band: Long Distance Calling. This band ranks high on my favorite bands list and has continuously pushed the boundaries of instrumental storytelling and progressive rock. Does this new release hold strong with it's predecessors? Or does it fall short, leaving much to be desired? That's what I discuss here with my most critical mindset on a piece of music so far, only because I have seen the magic that this band can work up... can they do it consistently? Thank you so much for listening, it's great to be back!
