What are two middle aged uncs to do on a Sunday night, but hop on Zoom, record a podcast, and play some games!

We have a little bit of fun to open up the December action on The Quinn Spinn. We play a riveting game of “Would You Rather?” before Scotty quizzes The Quinn on a series of quotes, to determine whether they were said by an actual rockstar or AI…

Plus, we recap a monster October at Underground Music Collective, and give you a little Something For Your Ears with Limp Bizkit’s latest single, “Making Love to Morgan Wallen.”

Gussapolooza 2025: Day 3

Posted on by Leave a comment

Note: This episode is released in loving memory of our original ProFX12 mixer, which perished during the making of this episode after 11 loyal years of Quinn Spinn service. Unfortunately, these technical issues mean that a couple of AWESOME interviews were compromised beyond reasonable repair and did not make this episode, while parts of others may be missing. We look forward to re-doing those at the next available opportunity!

Here it is — the long-awaited conclusion to our trilogy from Gussapolooza 2025!

This episode — coming to you from the final day of this year’s festival — touches on the creative journey, and the lessons it teaches us as we embark and continue on the path. We sit down withCo from Barrie Millennials, Jade Hilton, Sean William Dawson, & Francesca Panetta, giving you a full view of Ontario’s creative landscape.

Where We’ve Been, Where We’re Going: Part 1

Posted on by Leave a comment

“Why dontcha make a few slides for a timeline, outlining key milestones that helped create the UMC we know and love today?”

So naturally, we had to be absolutely extra and document our lore.

This is the first in a multi-part series that will share the story so far — from the early days of The Quinn Spinn in Mom’s Basement Studios, to our transformative, globe-spanning 2025. At the end, we’ll also share more information on our plans, hopes, and dreams for the future that we think you’ll dig!

This was a blast to create, and we’re just getting started. Stay tuned for Part 2!

Exploring the Intersection of Business and Art (from NOLA MusiCon)

Posted on by Leave a comment

One of the many highlights of NOLA MusiCon — seriously, we UnderDogs will be talking about this one for months — was the chance to sit down with David Adams and the folks at Elation Entertainment to join the live NOLA MusiCon broadcast of the Elation Podcast.

My interview — part of an epic three-hour episode featuring folks from around the conference — starts at 1:51:30. We discuss the ways environments like NOLA MusiCon give creatives a seat at the table, the importance of building genuine community in the music industry, and the one decision that defined my (and UMC’s) year.

An Exclusive Talk with Nashville’s Rising Star, Blvck Wizzle

Posted on by Leave a comment

Hey UMC Fam, it’s your girl SADGURL!

This summer, I had the pleasure of partnering with Melodic Convos (part of the Mobile Melody Show) for an exclusive talk with Nashville’s most beloved rising star, Blvck Wizzle. This Nashville native has captured the hearts of the city and held the public’s attention since the moment he began sharing his signature songs at open mics in 2015. Blvck Wizzle mixes guitars, storytelling, and unforgettable rhymes to create a refreshing and undeniably catchy sound.

Wizzle has had a whirlwind summer, from being featured on the album Step Brothers 4 Life with Tennessee legends Starlito and Dontrip, to Mayor Freddie O’Connell dubbing Wizzle’s record “Cashville Be Ballin” the new city anthem!

Watch this interview for a closer look at this country boy’s inspirations and the pivotal moments that initiated the unfolding of this superstar in the making.
