Shadowboxing with Aimee Mann
I’m rather late on this one, but it’s still worth mentioning. Last summer, Aimee Mann released a concept album entitled The Forgotten Arm. It received reasonably good reviews from the critics.
Over the past three months, she recorded three sessions called Shadowboxing with Aimee Mann. They’re conversations with Mann, intercut with tracks from the album. She discusses each song in considerable detail, as well as touching on the music industry, her label and so forth. This is definitely a marketing-driven podcast, so there aren’t any hard-hitting questions (I’m not sure what those would be, anyway), but as a fan of her work, I really enjoyed listening to them.
There doesn’t seem to be an official site or page for the recordings beside this dodgy thing. The feed for the three sessions is here, the iTunes feed is here or you can download them directly here: 1, 2 and 3.
