New Wave Outpost Forum

Because this show's file was a little too big for mixcloud I have never made my interview with legendary L.A. producer, Earle Mankey, available until now. It is full of great L.A. rock, new wave, synthpop and surf.

Thanks, Synthesizerman! Great to hear this interview and relive some of the the sounds I loved in the 80s. The Three O'Clock we such an under appreciated band. For some reason, Mankey's involvement with Concrete Blonde escaped me til now. Saw them a few times, once at The Paladium opening for The Replacements I think.

Great surprise for the Great Earle!I wonder if he also rememebers his product works for the Elevators from Boston,X Spand X and Conditionz from L.A.His two mini lps are excellent in a weird way.

Thanks, DJCraig! I wasn't aware of his involvement with Concrete Blonde at first either (in the 80s) and I was working with him at the time.

I have the feeling that Earle remembers them all! I saw someone else mention his work with the Elevators. I wish I had more time but as it was I went 15 min over my slot. Fortunately the station is very liberal with me about my show length. I may very well have him on again in the next year or so.
