Drum legend Jim Keltner recording at BIG EGO during a trio session with Mike Baggetta and Mike Watt. The resulting album, “Wall of Flowers” is one of those records that has to be heard to be believed. “What could that possibly sound like?” We’re excited to share the answer to that question very soon. #jimkeltner #mikewatt #mikebaggetta #steelydan #neilyoung #bobdylan #jjcale #minutemen #davidtorn #jimkeltnerfanclub #music #jazz #notjazz #avantgarde #guitar #bass #drums #recording #wallofflowers #lbc #bigegorecords #musicfrombigego

BIG EGO has been in business for two and a half years but now it feels like we’ve truly arrived. We are so honored and grateful to appear in the pages of Tape Op Magazine alongside @joehenrymusic and Bob Clearmountain. It’s kinda like Fight Club. If you ask to be in it, you won’t be in it! A big thank you to everyone who has trusted us with their work and if you’ve thought about making a record with us, the studio schedule opens up after April. Drop us a line or schedule a studio tour.

We started BIG EGO Tapes last week. Our second episode went up this morning. It’s a conversation masquerading as a podcast. We record the whole thing onto a 60 minute cassette tape and that’s it. No edits. No ads. No dumb podcast tropes. This week prolific writer and photographer @gustavoturner talks about the Baconion Theory of Shakespeare’s authorship, LA Weekly’s right wing Trojan horse takeover, and Bob Dylan’s 55-year shamanic state. Subscribe on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, and/or YouTube. New episodes every Monday. #podcast #gustavoturner #gustavoturnerphoto #writer #laweekly #bobdylan #tape #conversation #bigegotapes #longbeach #losangeles #shakespeare #sirfrancisbacon #music #art #journalism #studio #money #debate #musicfrombigego
