Baxie speaks with Neil Gust from Heatmiser and No.2. In 1991 Neil Gust and the late Elliott Smith formed Heatmiser in Portland, Oregon soon after graduating from Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass. Heatmiser would release three albums including the critically acclaimed “Mic City Sons” in 1996. By this point Elliott Smith began her legendary solo career (which included six studio albums and a Grammy nomination for the music of the film Good Will Hunting). Neil Gust went on to form his own band, No.2, which released two exceptional records before leaving music for a very success career in commercial video editing. 20 years later Neil Gust would reform No.2 and release an amazing comeback album—“First Love” in 2022. Earlier this year, Gust released a great compilation of unreleased tracks with Elliott Smith entitled “The Music of Heatmiser”. Absolutely amazing!

Baxie talks with Steely Dan biographer Brian Sweet. His book “Steely Dan: Reeling in the Years” is about to be released on paperback this August. The book is the definitive story about how Donald Fagan and Walter Becker became two of the most unlikely Rock Stars in history. Brian follows the story that took them from being reclusive song writers at Bard College, to reluctantly performing on stage, to refusing to play live so that they could focus all of their attention on writing and producing some of the most flawless albums ever recorded. Such an amazing story! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and on the Rock102 app! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee!
