Our guest is in here, Kurt St. Thomas.
Big round of applause, everyone.
Kurt, thanks for taking the time to come in.
Thanks for having me.
Is this your first time out at Skid Row Studios?
It is.
It is.
Very nice.
For those of you that don't know Kurt St. Thomas, I want to give you a little overview of what he's involved in and why we asked him to come on.
First of all, you know, tonight's segment is focused on the neighborhood of Eagle Rock.
He's familiar, so we're gonna get his perspective on it.
But Kurt has had a lot of accomplishments and is a very busy guy and has definitely done a lot of things and we want to talk about that and let people know exactly who he is.
So one thing that he did was put something together called How to Fix the Music Industry.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I forgot about that.
Yeah.
And I'm really curious about that.
I wanted to talk to you about that because I've been working in the music industry for 18 years.
I'm from Los Angeles, born and raised, and I just dove right into it.
Worked at Century Media, Priority Records, SST.
I've been at Southern Lord Records for eight years.
Who exactly did you work for back in the day?
Well, I've been in the music business a long time.
I mean, I've been in the music business a long time.
I started out in radio, and I worked in Syracuse, New York, and I worked in Manchester, New Hampshire, and then I ended up going to Boston for a long time from 87 to 95.
And I ran a radio station there, WFNX, which I actually currently run the online version of it.
Okay.
But in 95, I left and moved to New York City to work for Clive Davis.
Of Arista.
Yeah, of Arista Records.
You actually worked at Arista.
Oh, I sure did.
And what did you do there?
What was your title?
I was A&R.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
And I was kind of unsuccessful in many ways.
I learned a lot, but I was, if you know Arista Records, it's a pop label.
Yeah.
And, you know, Whitney Houston, Barry Manilow.
And so I was brought in to bring in rock bands, because at the time when I had worked at FNX in Boston, I was, you know.
I was sort of like a, quote unquote, breaking a lot of bands.
Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, and just kind of very active and putting a lot of those bands on the radio at the time.
And so I got a bit of a reputation as, you know, this guy knows what's going on.
He's a tastemaker.
So I got hired by Clive.
And, but then I can't say that it was all smooth sailing, you know, from there.
Right.
Very different world.
That's the 90s we're talking about, right?
Yeah, 95 to 2000.
Right.
I mean, the industry.
I mean, I wasn't involved.
I wasn't involved at that time.
And I know for a fact, it was much different.
It was more excessive.
And there was a lot more money available.
Oh, yeah.
For the labels, for the employees at a label to work a record and set a record up.
And for a promo, you know.
And for everywhere across the border, there's more money available to do things.
So I can imagine, you know, I mean, back then, did you sign any acts to the label?
Did you actually sign any?
I did.
I signed this band Nerf Herder.
Yeah.
I don't know if you know this.
I'm a huge Star Wars fan.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
When I saw that name, I was like blown away.
I was like, you know, someone's actually called Nerf Herder.
They're from Santa Barbara, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Very Weezer-like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Weezer, Blink-182-ish kind of.
They were a little ahead of their time, actually.
Yeah.
Before that whole kind of nerd rock like wave hit, which was unfortunate.
But, you know, it did okay.
And then I signed another band called Rustic Overtones.
And that's a long story of just...
It was a tragedy on many levels.
And after I worked at Arista, I was also at the same time working on a book and making independent films.
And after making my second film, I ended up working at Tommy Boy Records.
And I ended up re-signing the band, Rustic Overtones.
And I had made a record with them.
David Bowie is actually on the record.
Wow.
That's amazing, man.
Really impressive debut.
And once again, kind of a band way ahead of their time.
A little bit ahead of the time of Fitz and the Tantrums, you know?
Right.
Kind of white dudes from Portland, Maine that had, you know, a horn section and really soulful, cool.
And yeah, they ended up...
I ended up leaving Arista.
They ended up getting dropped.
The record never actually came out.
And then when I got to Tommy Boy, I got the record back from Arista.
And then we put it out.
And then Tommy Boy got...
It got bought out by Warner Brothers a couple months right after we released it.
Oh, man.
Wow.
So that was your experience in the music industry at a label.
Yeah, at a label.
Yeah.
Right.
So when did you put out How to Fix the Music Industry?
It says 2008.
Is that...
I don't know.
Yeah.
You know, the funny thing is, like, I didn't...
That's just, like, something I edited and kind of...
Actually, the guy that hosts that, it's a video.
It's kind of a documentary, I guess.
I guess you could call it.
It's made for, like, a seminar or something.
And the guy that hosts it is this guy, Max Tolkoff.
And he was actually the program director at WFNX in Boston way back in the day.
And he was the guy that made me, promoted me from being production director to music director.
So he was a big influence on me.
And then a couple years ago, I work at K-Rock here in L.A.
now.
Right.
Which have been...
I've been there for about eight years.
But I actually left K-Rock at one brief moment in time to go work for Max at Indie 103.1, which I worked there for five weeks.
And then they got shut down.
And then I got hired back at K-Rock.
It's been a long road in the music business.
Is that why you're back with Jonesy now?
Because of that?
That actually...
Well, it is interesting.
I was on the air after Jonesy.
And I have to say, in my five weeks, I got along with Jonesy really well.
And then...
But I didn't have anything to do with him actually coming to K-Rock.
I got hired back at K-Rock the day after it happened.
They called me.
They were like, you can come back.
I was like, okay.
And then about a year later, they picked up Jonesy.
And after about six months or so, the guy that was producing the show, I don't know, they had a fallout.
And then Jonesy asked me if I wanted to do it.
And I was like, absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Really well together on the air.
Yeah.
I mean...
The banter between sets, it's hilarious.
I love hanging out with him.
And it's really fun.
And it's exciting to be on the airwaves of a major radio station and playing music that nobody's ever heard.
With one of the Sex Pistols.
Yeah.
With one of the Sex Pistols.
A living legend.
Yeah.
Exactly.
One question.
Who chose the Tropic Music bed for when you guys were speaking?
Oh, that's...
Jonesy picked that.
Yeah.
He picks it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
he pretty much picks most of everything.
I just kind of run the show.
And, you know, I do give him music at times, but it's really his show.
And, you know, I'm just there to kind of guide it through.
Very nice.
Tell us about your own internet radio show you have.
Well, I have, yeah, my own internet station is called Houndstooth Radio.
And that's been going for about three and a half years.
Broadcasts out of my garage.
Very nice.
And it's just me and a computer.
First time I ever met Kurt was through Houndstooth.
Yeah, that's right.
Really?
Yeah, my current drummer's other band before he was in ours was playing live podcast video stream you were trying to do on Houndstooth.
Yeah, actually.
And they called me to do, like, be sound guy and come and mic everything.
Very nice.
The Cobalt Cranes.
And I was like, that was the first time I met Kurt.
I'm like, who's this fucking guy?
You're like, what's going on in this guy's garage?
Yeah, my house is in like...
And I walked in, they're like, you guys want some beer?
I'm like, yeah.
I thought this was more of like a meet the guy from K-Rock.
But sure, I'll have a beer.
Well, yeah, I mean, you're very well-rounded.
I mean, you've also, you know, done movies and music videos.
Music videos.
Yeah, let's talk about that.
Well, that...
Basically, how that all kind of came about was there was a guy that I worked with at WFNX in Boston.
His name's Mike Joshua.
And he's kind of, you know, my partner in crime.
And we just worked for years together.
And then kind of at the end of when I was going to New York, he had written a screenplay, which is he handed to me.
And I was like, hey, this is really cool.
It's about an overnight disc jockey who's held captive.
And it ended up becoming the movie.
It's called Captive Audience.
And but I don't know.
I'm just the kind of person that's like, oh, I've never made a movie before.
Well, let's just do this.
And you know, it happens.
No, no clue.
So we ended up making it.
And actually built a radio station set in my loft in New York City, filmed most of it.
And it played in like 50 film festivals and won a couple awards, won like the Nashville Independent Film Festival.
And out of that, just because I had been in radio for so long, I, you know, I had a lot of musician friends.
And then, you know, one thing led to another.
And it was suddenly like, hey, you made a movie.
I bet you could direct a video.
And so, you know, I did one.
And then all of a sudden, you know, like people saw that.
And then it was, you know, a couple of calls.
And for a while, I was kind of, I was cooking along.
And when I worked at Tommy Boy, they actually let me direct videos, which was cool because I was in the A&R department.
But they would, you know, it'd be like, hey, you want to do this video?
I'd be like, all right.
Who are some of the artists you directed videos for?
Well, I did a bunch of, well, probably the biggest video that I ever directed is by this group Brand New.
And the song is called The Quiet Thing.
It's a song that no one ever knows.
You can check it out on YouTube.
It's got like 5 million views.
I've worked with like Kathleen Edwards, Jay Maskis of Dinosaur Jr. Man, the list is long.
I'm trying to think.
Real Big Fish, I did a video for.
I mean, yeah, it's endless.
Well, very well done.
I just did a video.
The most recent one is this band, The Dolly Rots.
I just did a video for them, which is, we actually shot in my garage, where the radio station is.
So you're still doing videos?
Yeah, a little bit.
You know, I don't know.
I'm busy.
You know, I mean, right now it's like I'm working at K-Rock.
I'm running Houndstooth.
I'm overseeing WFNX.com in Boston.
And then the last couple of months, I've been going to culinary school at like Cordon Bleu.
Really?
Yeah, I don't sleep a lot.
Yeah.
Very cool.
Yeah.
And I'm developing a TV show on top of that, which involves food and rock and roll.
But I don't know if I should say too much yet.
I've seen the pilot.
Very nice.
It's pretty good.
So being, you know, someone who's involved in culinary.
It sounds ridiculous when I start talking out loud.
I'm like, I just want to run in the corner.
You know, being involved in culinary, what are some of your favorite dishes to make?
Oh, well, at least in school so far, fettuccine Alfredo was just awesome to actually make the pasta and lobster bisque and hollandaise sauce.
You heard about, you talking to Jonesy about that one?
Yeah.
Jonesy's always, he just.
Can you.
He's like, I don't under, I don't understand, mate.
He's like, why are you going to school?
I'm like, I don't know.
I thought it would be, well, A, I have this TV show going, but I, you know, I'm 49 and I kind of had this thing where I was like, you know what?
By the time I'm 50 years old, like I really want to know how to cook because then at least for the rest of my life, I can cook anything.
There you go.
It's a feather under the cap.
Yeah.
You know, how can you go wrong?
You know, I'm sick of eating at the same restaurants all the time.
Exactly.
Well, that's, you know, a good, well-rounded overview of Mr. Kurt St. Thomas here.
There's a lot going on.
I love it.
I love having busy guests.
It fills up the time and there's a lot to talk about.
Yeah.
Great.
And have a dog.
Tom is the cutest.
What we're going to do is take a break and we're going to come back and talk about Eagle Rock and we're going to tell you what's good and how to get there.
Exactly.

We'll be right back.
Um, he's contesting that, but there's an alternative.
And now I want to know what it is.
Um, my friends, like my friends and even my drummer's alternative to Oinkster is the bucket.
And the bucket's down on Eagle Rock Boulevard, right across the street from, uh, Auntie M's.
It's like a block away from the bowling alley.
Well, I mean, it's like, what kind of cuisine is like the same thing?
Burgers.
It's all, just all burgers.
Now it's, it's like, uh, there, there's a stand.
Wait, what's that?
All right, take it.
Hello?
Yo, yo.
Is it Vince?
Hello?
Yeah, this is Vince.
Hey, you're back.
All right.
Are you serious?
You guys fucking dropped my call because I was talking shit about Oinkster, dude.
No, we lost you.
Are they like a sponsor or what?
You guys serious?
Oh my God.
Are you guys turning white for what?
We do have an Oinkster spread in the lounge for all our, our, our, our guests.
See, that would have been the move.
Hey, it's just a fucking customer experience, guys.
Nothing personal.
I know you love Oinkster.
I'm saying their burgers are great.
I'm just giving you some.
I'm just giving you some feedback, you know?
Too much money?
Check it out.
There's another place that's kind of across the street from there called Dave's Chillin' and Grillin'.
Okay.
Okay.
I've seen it.
And this is like a fucking, this is a guy who like is just doing his own little sandwich shop and he has like a fucking TV and little games.
It's just a better feeling in there, you know?
So go to Dave's Chillin' and Grillin'.
Just take a walk across the street.
Don't get mad and drop my call, but.
Hey, y'all, man.
Do you really think we dropped your call?
I don't know.
I was talking and then you're like, hey, call Bob.
I'm like, hey, guys, I'm right here.
You know?
I was like, you know.
This show has been brought to you by Oinkster.
Yeah, no shit.
Is that true?
Is that true?
And another thing about permanent records.
Can I mention permanent records again?
Sure.
These guys.
All right, man.
I don't know.
Like I said, like I was born and raised in this area and I've seen a lot of, a lot of like, you know, businesses come and go.
Sure.
And these guys are like from Chicago, right?
Right.
They're like a Chicago couple and they have their records.
But they don't have any like local music.
And like I tried to go and take a Mormons record in there and they were like looking down their nose at me.
They're like, oh, well, I don't know.
You know what I mean?
I'm like, fucking motherfucker.
What backyard did you move into?
You know what I mean?
You know what?
I don't know.
Like permanent records.
I don't know, man.
Like I just got to speak up and I got to say like that.
That's fine.
It was like Mount Analog or something, whatever that record store is.
The same kind of way.
Same kind of way.
Well, that's fine.
That's fine.
That's what this is.
It's an open forum.
It's an open door for everyone to talk about their experiences.
And I just wanted to take advantage of it.
I'm just listening on skidrollstudios.com right now to Los Angeles, Nissan.
I just wanted to take part in it.
All right.
You're awesome.
Everybody call in.
Thanks a lot, Vince.
Thank you, Vince.
All right, man.
We appreciate it.
All right.
Love it.
Vince, let me tell you something about Vince.
Let's just steer away from the format really quick.
Sure.
Vince has been doing the Mormons for a long time.
About, I think, 14 years, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Four years longer than it's casual.
So when I started this thing, it was like, they're already going for you strong.
Right.
You probably weren't born yet, right?
Very funny.
No, I got to give you a little.
My first experience with the Mormons before my band started getting into the LAC was we went to Eagle Rock Music Festival.
And I saw them getting, I think it was escorted out of the premises.
I can't remember, but there's cops involved.
Because the Mormons have a mobile unit.
They do.
And it's like hip guitar amps.
And instead of a drum set, it's a quad.
And they go to places.
And they go to places where they're not invited.
And they play their set anyways.
And they just march around.
Right.
And they're dressed like Mormons.
And Vince is like.
Suits, ties, and hats.
I mean, bicycle helmets.
Yeah.
And Vince has like the longest running show on here.
He's been really consistent.
Yeah, the Morm Music Radio Pod on Thursdays.
I think it's 10 p.m.
10 to 12?
Yeah, 10 p.m.
to 12 a.m.
Awesome.
He's had my band on there.
He's got.
Yeah, we've played here too.
It was a lot of fun.
Vince is a cool guy.
Definitely.
Good stuff.
So now we're steering back on course.
That was his call.
And we were just recapping.
What was it called?
Oh, the bucket.
The bucket.
Yeah, the bucket.
So the bucket.
It's like.
It's so tiny.
Like there's like a counter.
And then there's like this awning.
I don't know.
It's like just wood awning.
Or maybe even tin.
I don't even know.
And then like benches.
And basically you just have a seat.
And then waitresses come out.
And it's like pictures of beer and burgers.
That's it.
But they have really good burgers.
There's like one called.
I think the Freddy.
It's got like salsa verde in it.
Okay.
And then they also have.
They have the thing which I get a lot.
It's called the Julio shrimp.
Julio shrimp?
Yeah.
It's jumbo shrimp.
Because they have this sauce called Julio sauce.
It's tangy and really, really spicy.
So it's like a huge jumbo shrimp wrapped in bacon.
Wow.
And then they batter it and deep fry it.
And they put it in like a little curry thing.
And they put this hot sauce on it.
And they give you like plastic fork and knife.
And go have at it with your beer.
Man.
And yeah.
It's a gut buster.
But it's freaking good.
That's a good way to put it.
Yeah.
Well, they all.
I mean, speaking of that, they also have a burger called the cardiac.
Let's hear about it.
It's similar to, I guess, the Royal at Oinksters.
But it's bigger.
It's like each patty, I think, is about a half pound.
It's called the cardiac?
It's called.
They have a half cardiac or a mild cardiac.
And then they have the full cardiac.
What's on it?
I can't remember exactly.
I know my brother's had it.
But it's like onion rings and bacon.
Let's get Chuck in here now.
All right.
Come here.
Chuck.
Let's get Chuck in here.
I want to know what's on the cardiac.
I'm amazed how people are promoting death through their food.
Yeah, I know.
Let's hear about this.
Have a seat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got to talk into a mic, though.
This is Chuck.
Have a seat.
Right here.
Over here?
Yeah, sit right next to me.
There's plenty of space.
All right.
I'm fascinated about the cardiac.
All right.
So you've had this.
Yeah, I had it several times.
In Eagle Rock.
Yes.
At the bar.
Okay.
This is our anesthetic Frank stop before a show.
Our drummer lives like two blocks away.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay..
go to the bucket, have a pitcher and a drink, like a couple of burgers.
Then we go play.
Okay.
And Chuck always gets the freaking cardiac.
Yeah.
It's, it's interesting.
It's got, cause there's two cardiacs.
There's a mild cardiac and then there's like the full on.
There you go.
And so what's in it for a full cardiac?
It's a double patty and already the patties are pretty freaking.
They're half pound patties.
Yeah.
So it's about a pound of meat and then you got bacon on top of that.
Yeah.
And I forgot what else.
You got all the other like typical burger toppings.
You got tomato, lettuce, onions, pickles are in there.
They got ketchup and stuff.
It's just, I forgot there's something else.
I don't know if it's pastrami.
I would say no.
There's another meat form.
I'm on it.
There's another meat form.
Oh, there's ham.
Oh, that's right.
They put a slab of ham on it.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
There you go.
So question for you.
Do you feel like you're going to have a cardiac arrest?
I would say with a full cardiac, you get to that point where you feel.
Shortness of breath.
Yeah.
That's a bummer.
You wouldn't want to walk up a flight of stairs.
Let's just say that.
The thing about Chuck that he'll go to a show on Rockout afterwards.
You eat that, then you play?
Yeah.
Wow.
Okay, here we go.
I got it.
It's two half pound burger patties with lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, ketchup, your choice of cheese, bacon, slab of grilled ham.
There you go.
A heap of grilled onions and then mushrooms.
That's right.
Grilled onions.
Interesting.
I think I might go there tonight.
Oh, you can't because they're closed on Mondays.
Eagle Rock.
Closes early.
Anyways, I'm going to take another break.
Sure.
Come back, chat some more about the music industry and Kurt's other projects.
Sounds good.
And I'm going to tell you how to get there on the bus.
Let's do it.
Lucky you.
Thank you.
Thank you, listeners.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'll see you soon.
I'll see you soon.
I'll see you soon.
I'll see you soon.
I'll see you soon.
I'll see you soon.
I'll see you soon.
I'll see you soon.
I'll see you soon.
I'll see you soon.
I'll see you soon.
I'll see you soon.
I'll see you soon.
I'll see you soon.
I'll see you soon.
I'll see you soon.
I'll see you soon.
I'm wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie wie is that you could see they would take the whole sense of what it is to have a dispensary and they would market it and use it for money.
So you would see, because you would have an extensive selection of what you could choose from, many strains of marijuana to pick and prices, that's what's always the factor, is price.
And you would always see places with a lot of more expensive end stuff and you see cheaper prices and usually cheaper prices meant cheaper quality.
But the thing about American Eagle is that they had probably some of the most amazing quality at an extremely affordable price.
Which was pretty amazing.
And when you look at the options that you have around you, so of course you're going to go American Eagle.
I think one of the big things with them getting shut down though too was their location because it was really residential right there.
And I had heard a lot of people had complained.
Right, there's nothing but houses.
I remember there being a lot of people and a lot of security in the parking lot saying do not park on these streets because these are people's houses.
You park in the parking lot and if it's full, drive around and wait.
Yeah, but the thing is they had some, the popularity of that place grew really well because of the prices and the reputation of the quality and basically it's considered compassionate towards their I guess you could say patients because everybody that has a prescription is usually considered a patient.
This is for medicinal use.
Absolutely.
Well, we're out of time and that's another episode, but first I got to tell everyone how to get to Eagle Rock via public transportation.
That's what Los Angeles needs to say is car-free message.
So if you're coming from the east side, Whittier, Picovera, Montebello, East Los Angeles, Boyle Heights, you want to get on the line 18 and transfer to the red line northbound you get on the side of the platform that says Hollywood.
North Hollywood.
Get off on Hollywood and Western.
Get on the line 80 or 81 and it will take you right to Eagle Rock.
Come in from the valley, North Hollywood, Universal City.
You want to take the red line going southbound towards Union Station.
Get off Hollywood and Western.
Go right to the surface street.
Cross the street and take the 80-81 and you'll be there.
It's that simple.
How do I get there from Pasadena?
Go line to Union Station.
Red line.
Northbound.
Get on the side of the platform that says North Hollywood.
Get off at Hollywood and Western.
Walk across the street to where Ralph's is.
80 or 81.
I love Eddie because every time I'm lost I'm going to call you from the street corner and just be like, I'm on this corner and this corner.
