From The Desk Of Dr. Dog: “Gramophoney Baloney”

Last summer, rock ‘n’ roll six-piece Dr. Dog made a return to its Philadelphia home studio to record its seventh album, Be The Void (Anti-). In MAGNET #85 (order a copy here), we talked to the group’s founding members, co-songwriters and vocalists Scott McMicken (guitar) and Toby Leaman (bass), about that journey, and what it takes to bring a band with a formidable label deal and a professional touring setup back to its DIY roots. One thing that has remained consistent in Dr. Dog’s music across its evolving career is a juxtaposition of existential, occasionally desperate lyrical concerns with exuberant pop songs. Dr. Dog keyboardist Zach Miller will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our new Q&A with McMicken and Leaman.

Miller: I don’t know exactly how I found out about this radio show, but I love it. Yet another 78-collector weirdo playing pre-1950 music from all over the world. What I love (apart from incredible taste in tunes) is DJ McSchmormac’s endearing manner in the face of his technical failings. He’s always cueing up the wrong track and there always seems to be a technical issue to solve, but this unflawlessness and his ability to just roll with it makes me like him that much more. Bless you, McSchmormac!
