On today's episode I talk to musician Dennis Callaci. Raised in
Upland, California, Dennis has bounced around Southern California
his entire life. He runs the legendary indie record label
Shrimper, noted for bringing forth the earliest recordings from
Amps For Christ, Woods, Franklin Bruno, Lou Barlow's Sentridoh, The
Mountain Goats, Dump, and a few hundred other releases over the
course of the last thirty years. He is also in the band
Refrigerator who have released twelve records over those thirty
years, as well as solo records by Callaci & collaborations with
John Davis, The Debts, and Simon Joyner. Dennis' latest project,
100 Cassettes, which is a quasi-memoir based on his installation at
the dA Center for The Arts, was just published in February
by Pelekinesis.
