Fuck the game!

Alright, let's do this. How are you with the fuckers? What the fuck buddies? What the fuckin' knots? What the fuck bots?

What the fuck? A delix? What the fucksters? I am Mark Marin. This is W-TF, this is my podcast. Welcome to it.

Glad to be here. Happy to be in your head. Sharing my brain with your ears.

and on into your soul.

I got Blake Mills on the show today, guitar wizard.

How to come across Blake Mills? How did that happen?

Why do you know this about him? He's got a record out that I listen to.

The song, if I'm unworthy, kills me. Just kills me.

I believe I'll get him to play it. But man, this guy is like,

he's real earnest about guitar playing, but he's also one of these wizards that the sound is so

perfect. And he honors the kind of the real tube and distortion and stuff that happens naturally

in the electronics. I'm just fascinated with him and it's a good conversation, especially

if you're a guitar guy, if you're not, I think you'll still enjoy him.

But he did just produce the new Alabama shakes record, sound and color.

I've been listening to a little of that and it's sweet, sweet production, man.

I mean, it's got that old R&B soul vibe to it, but it's also just kind of very beautifully

defined by a wizard. And he's like 12 years old. This Blake Mills kid.

It's always interesting to meet the young wizards. The guys who just, I gotta, obviously, they work.

And they do have some dudes and gals just have a knack. A God-given gift for Christ's sake.

Maybe it's just a luck of the draw. Genetic rolling of the dice, the tumbling down, the DNA strands

into pure brilliance on those guitar strings. Who knows? Don't, I don't. I do all right.
