David J: unearthing tracks from the attic
Manage episode 433085134 series 2650584
Today, the Spotlight shines On the musician and producer David John Haskins, better known to the world as David J, bassist and co-founder of both post-punk goth band Bauhaus and, subsequently, Love and Rockets.
As if having such a luminary visiting our podcast isn’t enough, today’s talk is guest-hosted by Spotlight On producer Michael Donaldson, who filled in for me for this and another special episode we will tell you about soon.
David came by to talk about Tracks from the Attic (released on Independent Project Records), his career-spanning triple album made up of home demos recorded between 1984 and 2004, hand-selected for inclusion by the artist himself. He also discussed the Love and Rockets tour opening for Jane’s Addiction (which kicks off this week) and a lot of very, very interesting esoterica.
(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from David J’s album Tracks from the Attic)
