The Grouch interview on The DOD45 Show With ArtByTai - Series 6 Episode 72

Well here’s a bit of sweet news! Our guest this week is the Mighty Grouch from Grouch & Eligh and The Legendary Living Legends crew. Here to remind you about the highly anticipated full-album release from Living Legends called The Return, after nearly 18 years since their last album “Classic” and to also promote the upcoming 'How the Grouch Stole Christmas' tour, which this year features The Living Legends, Brother Ali, Reverie & DJ Fresh. For as long as I’ve been listening to the Grouch’s music it’s a real trip to be actually having a conversation with him and creating art for him. On this episode 72 of The DOD45 Show, I draw a Where the Wild Things Are themed piece with some of those pesky toy plastic bowling pins, that will make sense later in this episode. And In the intro, I give a detailed list of my many favorite Grouch tracks spanning over his 20+ years as an underground hip-hop artist on an impressive grind. With the Grouch we also discuss his 10 year stint living on the island of Maui, producing the Slug & Murs’ Felt Album: a Tribute to Christina Ricci, and he shares with us a list of very impressive people that he has the utmost respect for, which includes Erykah Badu, Leon Bridges, Ab-Soul, Slug, Mos Def and more. Sage Francis joins the conversation via the Sage’s Social Media Lurk segment, to ask about a Grouch post from 2012 which leads us into a discussion of what we deem to be proper social media etiquette. And Mr. Dibbs joins us through his segment to ask for clarification regarding a photograph of a gloriously dressed Grouch leering behind Dibbs in the backstage tunnel at the recent Atmosphere Red Rocks show. All of that and other mentions of things like Corey Haim & Corey Feldman, Zion-I, Monty Python, The Thing, Ash’s Severed Hand, Christina Ricci, Christina Aguilera, Jay Electronica, Blackalicious, Vanity, ET, Kris Kros, Brutus the Barber Beefcake, Yo Gabba Gabba and more. It’s a real honor for the Grouch to be lending us his time, so put away that curling iron, light up the mosquito coil, nuzzle up with bucket of buttered popcorn & turn your attention to this episode 72 of The DOD45 Show with The Grouch.
