A ‘Human-First’ Approach to AI (ft. Joel Kaiser)

Posted on by Leave a comment

Over the course of his career, Joel Kaiser has worn a number of creative hats: songwriter, performer, graphic designer, brand expert, festival organizer, and more. Now, he steps into the music tech space as the co-founder of First Rule, a ‘human-first’ company that employs AI to give artists control over how their Musical Essence is used throughout the ecosystem.

Joel joins us for an in-depth conversation on the state of art, creativity, and technology, while previewing the first annual Music City Make-a-Thon, taking place in Nashville from March 23-28.

Trust the Process

With 2026 now in full swing, different levels bring different devils. A new year means new challenges and opportunities, and that means digging in and doing the work as the story unfolds.

There will be highs. There will be lows. There are lessons in both. It’s all a part of the process…

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.

The Quinn Spinn: Live from Gussapolooza 2025 Day 1!

Posted on by Leave a comment

In August, we traveled all the way up to Cookstown, Ontario, Canada to once again take part in Gussapolooza, one of Canada’s premier independent music festivals. We took it upon ourselves to bring the ol’ 12-channel mixer and invite attendees to chat with us throughout the weekend — whether artist, industry supporter, volunteer, vendor, patron, or any combination thereof.

On Day 1, we sat down with singer-songwriter John Peterkin, punk rocker (and 2025 Gussapolooza Battle of the Bands winner) Feura, Jake and Mike from Bad Music Club, and LA-based genre-bending artist Edi Callier.
