We've been talking to lots of different artists lately, including some that make music outside the genres that we currently play. It's all part of the never-ending search to find more good music.

SomaFM: Interviews: Parlor Mob: "
We caught up with the Parlor Mob backstage at Download Festival. The initial comparisons to Led Zeppelin ring true even when these guys aren't on stage; they recline on those tacky red couches with an ease you would expect from a group of classic rock legends. We get to chatting about their first national tour, New Jersey and a run in with Suge Knight."

We did a ton of live interviews and met a bunch of cool people at Download 08.  Here's the first, an interview with Louis XIV.

    

More interviews will follow in a couple days.

The weather is beautiful down here, and the crowds are starting to arrive in force. We had M83 and Tapes'n'Tapes come by for interviews - we'll have the podcasts of those up later, in case you missed them.

The live broadcast goes until 6pm pacific time, that means 4 more hours from now. Thanks for tuning in!
