RAW impressions with Lou Barlow and Adelle Barlow

Adelle urgently needs to share her RAW impressions of the arts’n’crafts’n’vegetables exhibit inside the round house at the Franklin County Fair. Lou responds by playing slapdash fragments of Tom Petty songs. Both of them ponder what to do with all the left over beer from Lou’s August 8th birthday party.

The real-life Barlow Family General Store is open this Saturday 11-4:30! Free beer! The online Barlow Family General Store is open all-the-time!! Get some hand-crafted lyrics before Lou disappears on tour again in October. Get some cute gifts!

On his Western Canada tour earlier this year, Lou realized he had to cover both sides of Alice Bowie’s (Cheech and Chong) 1974 single Earache My Eye/Turn That Thing Down. In this episode Lou follows through and tries to explain it all to Adelle.

Lou plays Dead Wrong by Frausdots (a song he takes personally) and his own Blowin' Up (from the new DInosaur Jr LP 'There Near') for Adelle. Sad times in L.A. and Pitchfork's likeable employees (and bitchy reviews) are discussed.

Awake after weeks of being unplugged, 4-Track Man interrupts Lou and Adelle constantly as they try (and fail) to recap Lou's 60th birthday SHOW/PARTY. Hear a podcast fan's version of Lou's birthday song (for Lou!), niece Aleksa Atkinson's stunning version of Velvet Underground's Stephanie Says, and Adelle and Lou delivering HBD wishes (plus song) for a 15 year old in Texas.
Check out the Barlow Family General Store for sweet gifts and music-related items! Lou's got some time in September do some personalized lyrics so why not get the perfect gift for someone who likes his music (before the holiday rush!)!

From the RAW archives, 4-Track Man consolidates 3 classic RAW shows for one glorious hour devoted to Lou's slavish re-creations of his 3 most-favorite novelty songs of the 1970's. The Streak, Convoy and Kung Fu Fighting! Lou non-ironically considers these among his greatest achievements. This put him in a great mood for these 3 shows and he and Adelle's conversations before and after are simply delightful. A wonderful introduction to the RAW Impressions podcast if 4-Track Man says so himself.
The best way to support the ongoing podcasting, live event, retail store juggernaut that is Barlow Family General is to shop our store. Lou does bespoke lyric art, sells hard-to-find vinyl from his bands and Adelle has curated a super cute/functional selection of home goods, gifts and a dwindling selection of her own knitwear (get it before it's all gone)! Everything we sell that's not us is from indie DIY creators like ourselves.
