Ep. 11: Relics of Things Past

VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack

Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my 11th episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack titled "Relics of Things Past," it's my second installment of artists in my music collection whose names begin with the letter I.

Yup, "Ep. 10: Caramia" focused on the 80+ songs in my collection by The Indigo Girls. Part 2 of the I's starts out with an interview with a college friend of mine, Mark Leonard Mason, and he talked to me about a band he was in at the time called Ice Nine. Since conducting and editing that interview, I received the tragic news that Mark lost his life in a car accident. I added some words ahead of the interview and beyond it to reflect our loss.

Under Influences [full LPs] I talk about Inspiral Carpets, Incubus and Ibeyi. Under Breakouts [multiple tracks] I talk about Iggy Pop and INXS. And under Sparks [single tracks] I talk about Ice Cube, Inara George and Information Society.
