I'm spending my time on Facebook doing music and movie news, as well as lots of interviews. Stop by, leave a comment, or just loiter. facebook.com/KyleMeredith/
#RogerTaylor says #Queen were always outsiders—so maybe it tracks that his solo record Outsider is equal parts elegy, rebellion, and playground clapping song. We talked mortality, melody, gangsters, and why he’s the tide guy, not the TikTok guy. lpm.org/music/2021-11-…
“We had a meltdown in an L.A. diner and realized we had to take control.” Ben Barlow of #NeckDeep on scrapping the old sessions, getting political, writing “Heartbreak of the Century,” and leaning into low-budget alien chaos. lpm.org/music/2024-02-…
Brooke Annibale went full indie-pop in the Maine woods, got inspired by Robyn, and broke her Grey’s Anatomy boycott—just long enough to hear her song on TV. lpm.org/music/2018-10-…
Is Years to Burn a midlife crisis or a jazz record in disguise? I caught up with #IronandWine's Sam Beam to talk about collaborating with #Calexico again, revisiting Our Endless Numbered Days, & how a bassist’s dad joke accidentally titled a song suite. lpm.org/music/2019-08-…
“She’s sick and tired of being sick and tired.” #MonicaRaymund and #Hightown creator Rebecca Cutter joined me to talk addiction, beach blackouts, directing, and the finale. Plus, #TheHuntingWives. youtu.be/AtInP_ciSVc?si…
Zara Larsson calls Midnight Sun her “greatest body of work,” channels folklore nymph energy, and drops the quote of the year: “I don’t give a fuck—but I do care a lot.” lpm.org/music/2025-07-…
#ThurstonMoore: “Making a record right now is political. Even just putting good energy into the world is political.” The #SonicYouth guitarist and I talked guitar solos, voting for AOC, and writing Sonic Life. lpm.org/music/2020-12-…
Tonight: Swedish pop star Zara Larsson is my guest + Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, U2, Morrissey, B-52s, Gin Blossoms, D’Angelo, Chili Peppers, live American Football, and new SG Goodman. 6p ET on @WFPK.
#ModernEnglish’s Robbie Grey: “We didn’t want to sound like a load of old men.” So they made Take Me to the Trees, a snarling 2017 album born of reunion, rage & refusing to go quietly. Also, I Melt With You still pays the bills. lpm.org/music/2017-03-…
Depeche Mode's Martin Gore on turning Trump-era panic into wordless protest, why AI music is a blessing and a curse, and letting a monkey paint his album cover. lpm.org/music/2021-03-…
#AdiaVictoria: “I didn’t want to write a Trump song—I might turn orange.” We talked Backwards Blues, gentrification, and performing protest music for crowds that sometimes walk out. lpm.org/music/2016-11-…
Fran Healy on the latest Travis LP: “It’s a love letter to LA, but a fuck you too.” We talked swearing records, gaslighting, and why social media is “the opposite of the town square.” lpm.org/music/2024-08-…
#StoneGossard: “Letting your art get destroyed by your bandmates works out.” We talked #PearlJam, Painted Shield, why he’ll never play the Sphere, and why he’s not doing a back-to-back solo pose with McCready: “I’ll fall over.” lpm.org/music/2024-05-…

“I’m still here. You should applaud for that.” Rufus Wainwright on the anniversary of Want, living in “the belly of the beast,” and why his "awful" producers were (sometimes) right. lpm.org/music/2023-12-…
“I don't want to see old footage because it would replace my memory of the experience.” Chris Cornell on rock myths, the Hall of Fame, parenting through Spotify, and still solving his own songs years later. lpm.org/music/2015-11-…
