What is this? It’s not Perfect week! So why is there a new download in your feed for The Importance of Being Perfect?
Justin's first podcast was years ago, a project called Anywhere The Needle Drops, where he had conversations with musicians, artists, and other significant figures, exploring creativity, art, community, & passion, and the ways they interact with the rest of life.
The show ran for a number of years and featured some pretty cool highlights, including interviewing a few national artists and, twice interviewing Roger Clyne of the Peacemakers, his favorite musician of all time.
The show has been unavailable to the public for a while, but we’ve been working through old episodes in attempt to remaster them and put them back out for listeners on the Red Chuck website.
This is a little taste for you, the first of the remasters to be released and also the first episode of Anywhere The Needle Drops, featuring an interview and some music from the band, Hero Jr.
This and all future remasters will be always available at redchuckproductions.com.
Special thanks to Paul over at Theory One Productions for his asset in making the musical performance sound so much better.
And a shout out to Evan and the rest of Hero Jr who are still out there making great music and just recently released a new single, which you can find on your favorite streaming service. Check them out and give them some money by buying merch, music and by checking their tour dates and seeing them when they’re in your town.
Enjoy this remaster of Episode 1 of Anywhere The Needle Drops. Thank you for your time. Here’s to life.
