S1/EP21: Joe Wakeman - Cultural Consumer IV

A deep dive behind the music and philosophy of the NYC art rock band BODEGA. BODEGA BEN breaks down each track from their new album 'Our Brand Could be Yr Life', exploring the theme of the record: the current state of underground rock music. Together with guests and friends including Bodega Bay members and current collaborators, they dissect the story behind the music.

For the 21st episode, Ben chats with filmmaker and Bodega Bay member Joe Wakeman about ‘Cultural Consumer IV’ and his other songwriting contributions to Bodega Bay. The duo also discuss the B Bay outtake of ‘Brancusi Brainwash Birds’ featuring Joe’s keyboards, of Montreal’s progressive pop, Bowie and Bolan’s only collaboration, ‘Notoriety’, Wes Anderson, Courtney Barnett, the song Joe initially wrote for Endless Scroll (Toyzanne’s ‘Maps’), Acrylic Gesso, and the time Bodega Bay staged a rock opera.
