This week on "Hot Takes" episode 46, after a brief hiatus, Skelly and Shiro pulled Philly area act Geo Metro for the show! Eccentric, well-spoken, and a heavyweight in the Philadelphia independent electronic music scene, it made perfect sense for us to bring Andrew on; and he kept us entertained with his thoughts and stories about Britpop, Bossa Nova, wall-of-sound in music, and his chain-smoking sixty-year-old former roommate from Iraq. A man of many aliases, Geo Metro can also be found online as Aesir Archivist, Bonneville, Mad Gear, and Vimanas. He's released albums on several labels, including Philly's own Virtua94 Records, has released albums in obscure formats like burner phones with the album preloaded, and has performed alongside former guests Mr. Hideyoshi, Toadofsky, Vincent Remember, and Skelly himself at Terminally Chill. Incredibly learned, patient, and knowledgeable, Geo Metro was a picture perfect guest for the show. Over the course of our two hour broadcast, we discussed ego death, the importance of water treatment workers as artists, and airbrushed thugged out Looney Tunes T-shirts. Hot takes kind of took a back burner during our night with Geo Metro, but we did get to hear some trash talk about the Philadelphia noise music scene, discuss the practice of naming samples online, and hear some album recommendations and a thought regarding physical vs. digital media courtesy of "Hot Takes" veteran Indy Advant. If you missed out on our live visit with Geo Metro, why not review it right now!?
