  • Purple Onion - Up on the Roof

    Purple Onion - Up on the Roof
    Jul 8 2024
    Sam Stewart of Flagman joins Primus Tracks to discuss Up On The Roof, and explains what makes it a certified banger in the Claypool catalogue. The track has familiar foundations in a percussive bass line and lyrics regarding drug addiction, but this tune remains fresh and vibrant over twenty years later.

  • Purple Onion - Lights in the Sky

    Purple Onion - Lights in the Sky
    Jul 1 2024
    Lights in the Sky is another structured, thoughtful piece that seems simple, but allows maximum space for Frog Brigade collaborators to shine. In this case, they keep it atmospheric and low key until a bit of a heavier, unexpected ending. Although the lyrics are fairly generic for a Claypool tune, they provide ample fodder for conversation, and we take advantage by discussing stories of alien abduction. Because, yknow, it stands to reason.

  • Purple Onion - D's Diner

    Purple Onion - D's Diner
    Jun 23 2024
    This week on the podcast, we address the Les Claypool live staple D's Diner, which has been performed by so many iterations of his bands that everyone has lost count, except for Frankie. Bay Area resident and D's Diner regular Anthony Garcia helps us choose what menu items will be worth our while, models the main bass lick, and explains why it's okay to have a one-riff jam track in the middle of, to this point, a focused record. Next time you're in Sebastopol, get the breakfast burrito with extra red sauce!

Mr. Knowitalls

“Primus Tracks” may be the apex of detailing the musical tapestry of a band. It is abound in facts, references, interviews, details & anecdotes. The hosts’ passion & enthusiasm are deep & true and the material comes so easily to them it seems almost effortless (akin to Les on bass).

I am a come and go Primus fan. I revel in their four albums and all of their live material. But my knowledge of the band was vastly lacking. Not so much anymore. Mahalo for setting the standard. I can finally delve back into the discography and bootlegs armed to the hilt with the history of PRIMUS.
