FpodBpod's Sean Olmstead was just interviewed by Popdose.com contributer Michael Fortes, on his music video-interview series, Parlour to Parlour. Each month, Fortes is peeking into artists' homes and creative processes to discover a bit of what's behind the songs and what makes them tick, this year focusing on a snippet of the Bay Area music scene, with lots of Seaweed Sway favorites. And this episode focuses on FpodBpod - rock and roll with a psychedelic soul. You can see Fortes' full FpodBpod musical report here: http://popdose.com/parlour-to-parlour-episode-27-fpodbpod/ and see a performance (w/ Joe Lewis on bass) of unreleased song "Annie": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TF6u5a7ONg Also check out last month's episode of the Blank Tapes, and stay tuned for future episodes!
