GREETINGS----

TrueAnon here...we have a new thing to show you....this is the trailer for an upcoming five-part podcast series called Keep The Dream Alive. The series tells the story of a legendary San Francisco recording studio called Tiny Telephone through it's founder, John Vanderslice, and the voices and music of the bands that recorded there. 

 It's not just for indie rock types though; in the life and death of this studio we find all the joy and sorrow of the working musician, the tension between art and commerce, the love and loss that's part of being a human being. There is also a bunch of songs by bands like Sleater Kinney, mountain Goats, Deerhoof, and a bunch more. So even if you just like slap shot or Aphex Twin you should listen to this. 

 Series starts coming out Feb 2nd

are you Pitchfork now or Vice?

Conner O'neill

I thought brace wasn’t an “indie rock guy”. I’m extremely excited though for you guys to move into video though. Podcasting can be limiting.

Maya Looney

This is sick!!!! I'm so excited. The Elliot Smith episode was one of my favorites so I'm excited for this new series

TenThousandSandwiches

It's funny if you pretend to get Slapshot and Slapstick confused. Nodoby wins!

Otto Laakso

TrueAnon x Death Cab for Cutie. Knew it was coming!

Renee Leath

Love a Mountain Goats/TrueAnon crossover.

Samir Knox

Jesus this looks fucking sick

no

This is sick

Graham Hoese

If I don't know what slap shot or aphinx twins are, am I still allowed to watch?

Charlie M

John Darnielle on Trueanon… my worlds colliding

David R

You definitely need to listen to Slap Shot. STEP ON IT

justice for captain tom

Can't wait for this - really interesting person.if anyone is interested, for a bit of context recommend the hanging out with audiophiles podcast with him ep51. 🙌

James Cascao

You lost me at west coast hipster indy rock.

James Cascao

If you had real balls you would do a series on screwdriver or vegan reich

Emil

:D

orc

okay, coastal nerds

LL

Omg this is a very cute pet project.

TrueAnonPod

It's part of an unreleased track by John Vanderslice

Rhi Carter

Brace is going legit 😌

John Plass

Wen 25 ta Life docuseries?

Noms Chompski

Make sure they don't pull a Channel 5 on ya lol

Spooooooky

hypppppppppe. You guys are churning out some of your all-time best content lately, so great to watch TrueAnon grow.

MoldyTolge

This feels like a bit. If it’s real, good. But this feels like a bit.

Bradlee

Woah, super excited for this.

Baron

We love Samantha Crain don’t we folks!

gaylord

Mountain goats

Brydon

What does that mean

Claire Simon

My gf and I are stoked for this though I did have to explain that this is in fact NOT an expose about John Vanderslice running a pedo ring out of a recording studio

Nicolas

Will there be regular podcasts next month despite the series? A how frequent roundabout...

Nicolas

Youre the bit.

Welfare state

Wow that's pretty lame, hope you enjoyed making it atleast

Caz VanDevere

Not my usual content but excited

Vincent Utah

Will Ben Gibbard tell us what really happened with Zooey Deschanel?

Noah

Damn, Okkervil River and TrueAnon occupy occupy such different parts of my brain that them mashing up is ejecting grey matter out my third 👁️. I'm ready to go Down Down the Deep Rabbit Hole! When you kept hinting at this project, I had no idea what to expect but I'm beyond pleasantly surprised. Woohoo!

r b

Brace only likes the first Skrewdriver album, okay?

Sean

I would advise against using Vimeo from here on out, they just fucked over the Channel 5 guys to the tune of $15k/year, reccuring. Looks awesome though!

TrueAnonPod

Yes this is in addition to regular episodes

TrueAnonPod

This is a podcast we just put the trailer on Vimeo cause that’s the only way patreon embeds a video

Daniel

Is Brace doing this against his will or did he figure out no one gives a fuck about Gene Simmons?

Jack

Brace follow me back on tiktok

TrueAnonPod

Actually millions of people love KISS even all around the world

PGD

This looks really cool!

Den McHenry

John Vanderslice is very on brand since way back when his band MK Ultra sang songs about John Dean and the Zodiac Killer.

Kate Baldwin

Looks cool, but the cat on the recording deck(?) Is what sold me

Evan Scott

just in time for the indie sleaze nostalgia or whatever zoomers are calling it

eerie emma

♥️♥️♥️ will there be a UK folk rock series next..?? :)

TrueAnonPod

God I wish was just listening to Dyble and Fripp….

Chas Padunski

no clue what any of this means. I think some guy I knew in college liked the mountain goats. but he was also a big joss whedon fan. and Andrew Jackson Jihad. guess I better put on my learning fedora.

Science Officer Stefanie

This is very true. I saw an all woman KISS cover band when I was in the Philippines. I'm not a big KISS fan, but it was one of the best nights of my life.

Science Officer Stefanie

This is not the podcast that I Patreon that I would have guessed would make this kind of thing...but I'm glad to see the pod evolve. I'd like to see more true crime stuff. Like there was this town I lived in, in Oklahoma where the Mayor's son was seen fighting with a guy at a party, disappeared from the party, then came back all bloody and the guy he was fighting with, wound up dead and the police didn't even investigate the murder. Even though there were like a dozen witnesses to all this.

Shiv

honk if you saw Mountain Goats at the Matt Gonzalez mayoral rally…real heads know 😎

pod accoster

Will watch. Deerhoof one of my all-time favorite bands

Reverend Carter

pretty dope. love a ton of records made there.

Noms Chompski

Clarification, be careful with Vimeo, there are some creators claiming they are being extorted to keep their links alive.

Nicole D

Not really something I would normally watch, not interested in any of those bands, but I would watch five episodes of that cat sleeping on sound equipment

Karen-Ethel

Nice! I could use some wholesomeness after that trail shit. Looking forward to it.

Don Workman

Can’t wait for the ep! God help all ya’ll clowns that feel the need to let us know you’re too cool for this music. Weak af posting

HATERSLAYER420

hell fuckin yeah deerhoof is the shit. as much as i love the current content, i know you guys have expressed burn-out multiple times, and you guys should bring your talents to whatever interests you. i would love more music content, that's exactly my lane, especially with the history of labels and the more human/collaborative side of things. most similar videos i see nowadays are interviews repeating the same 3 stories or shitty explainer-type trends. maybe i'm being too romantic, but judging by the trailer, this series seems intimate in a way that really fits the heart of the show. i'm excited and glad you're continuing to explore different subjects.

HATERSLAYER420

yeah like whatever i guess like i dont even care but i hope you're happy or whatever

Natty

I'm so very excited!

Lilith

So while people are attempting to rise up in protest at the authoritarian vaccine mandates, the relentless march of totalitarianism cheered on by the crowds frantic with their mass formation hypnosis/psychosis, (including many of your patreon's) your plan is to carry on not addressing this big fat elephant in the room and instead are going to do a 6 part thing on indie music? Yikes guys. You've been on shakey ground with me ever since it came out that the vaccines weren't safe (over 6 months ago) and that early treatment was being suppressed, and you didn't bother covering it (presumably either because you don't want to piss off your more brain washed and partisan patron's, or else because Whitney Webb is right and Brace really is a fed like philosophy tube). This pushes you over the edge for me into TYT/Majority report territory. Nice to have known ya, sorry that having a huge income has changed you. Unsubscribing. Bye bye.

K Barlas

There just isn't a scientific basis for that. Acknowledging that doesn't make someone a fed, neither does promoting a shitty looking indie music documentary lol, relax, they're hipsters W a media platform what do u expect

Sammi

Instead of writing manifestos in the comments of every podcast ever recorded, why not just die of COVID? You’re clearly very American, and very unvaccinated - few have a better opportunity. Go for it!

simon

shut the fuck up *yikes guys!*

simon

Ummmm.... there's literally an uprising in kazakhstan rn and you make a post on the TrueAnon Patreon????? Yikes guys! but that's none of my business, *emoji of nails being done*

antitoi

lol good bait you almost got me nerd

drewb

hey can you provide a single source for vaccines being unsafe that isn't from Andrew Wakefield's Wordpress account? oh you can't?? well nvm anyway

Seth Aronovich

@drewb Ah, it's pretty ridiculous to say that the two American mRNA vaccines are 'safe'. Leaving anything about the technology being completely untested aside, they literally come from Ammurrica. And the Pfizer CEO supports the genocide of the Palestinian people. I took AZ happily enough, though would obviously have preferred a Cuban or Chinese or Iranian or Russian vaccine.

SF

Bye Lilith. Thanks for finally unsubscribing so I don’t need to see your deranged screeds any more.

Ash

God I hope this is satire....

drewb

Just because this is the first large-scale deployment of MRNA-based vaccines doesn't mean it's unsafe, the tech has existed for decades but isn't exactly a huge moneymaker for pharma companies hence its relative obscurity until now. Also the entire medical-industrial complex is dripping from head to toe in blood so I don't understand why you're getting wound up over this one very specific aspect of it, especially when it's to curb a highly-contagious respiratory virus. Also gj getting the one vaccine that I might have accepted as potentially having life-threatening side effects, albeit with odds an order of magnitude less than contracting the virus in the first place

Null_null

Genuinely sad for this person. Easy (and fun for some people) to just dunk on people like this, but it's really important to consider that this person has probably become increasingly isolated over the past couple of years. They probably have an unhealthy parasocial relationship with the podcasters they listen to. And so TrueAnon's not addressing this person's concerns about Covid and the vaccines (as unfounded as they may be) becomes a real betrayal to them. It sounds like this person is truly suffering. The cynical grifters pumping their head are the real problem here.

Null_null

Not concern trolling either, of course. It's chill with me if you wanna let loose on this freak.

Dylen

JV’s music is in one of the other TrueAnon miniseries… the first 9/11 one maybe?

Dylen

You all better not have been running an op on my man Vanderslice all these years. ❤️ (can’t wait for this)

Null_null

Me too. I hate it when people who provide me hours and hours of interesting, well-researched free content shift gears a little bit so they don't lose their fucking minds. It's not as if I can just unsubscribe for a month and come back later. Sad that's not an option.

Tristan

They don’t owe you shit, good riddance

Travis Weaver

How exciting, my friend's sperm donor is John Vanderslice!

BL

Moon Colony Bloodbath is my winter jam.

birdo

damn i was kind of waiting on discharge to start playing brace to do a voiceover. but i get it

Ash

God I hope this is satire...

Will

If you have a line to JV could you ask him to figure out a way to get Moon Colony Bloodbath onto Spotify. I had the MP3s on a little shitty mp3 player sometime around 2010 but now it's lost to the sands of time.

hannah

Omg does this mean there's a scene in Trashy Lingerie? They're way meaner than they were in the late 80's!

Mark

Proud of you guys. This looks great. Very kinetic trailer. Communicates a lot while also being pretty minimalist. Excited for it to start!

Shiv

Hey, HUNK (YC); so excited about this!!

Rob Zora

This is so fucking cool and I'm so excited you guys are doing this. Also JD on TrueAnon I can't even believe my interests are intersecting like this

Dylen

He’s on Patreon too ❤️

Ben P

looks sick, can’t wait for this

Floyd Hill

The band or the movie? Lol. No matter how I love most Slapshot releases, not sure Liz and Brace would want to talk about a Boston hardcore band with a singer that's a notorious (non-fascist/nazi) skinhead...who redeems himself a lot from his nationalism with songs like "Shoot Charlton Heston".
