Popdose Interview: Willie Wisely

Started by popdose · 1 year ago

The name “Willie Wisely” has been music to discerning pop fans’ ears for well over a decade now, but he’ll be the first to admit his albums have thus far failed to penetrate the wider marketplace, despite reams of positive reviews and a fervent fan ... Continue reading »

So Willie Wisely produced Andy Dick and the Bitches of the Century? Is that correct? I've always liked Dick. I've never "gotten" Jim Carrey's manic mugging, but for some reason Dick's shtick works really well for me.

But enough about him -- it's interesting to hear Wisely's take on CDs and MP3s. I tend to think it's scary out there right now for musicians trying to sell their product, but things like iTunes and MySpace obviously help and give them an advantage in certain areas.

I only know two Wisely songs, both courtesy of Jefitoblog, and I liked both, especially "Love Is Wrong." I look forward to hearing the one you're offering here once I can download it at home.

I first discovered Willie Wisely (as he was known then) via a Not Lame Records sampler. It was a hell of a sampler; it also introduced me to Walter Clevenger, This Perfect Day, and probably a dozen other artists whose own CDs are now a treasured part of my collection. "Parador" was one of my favorite albums of 2006; glad to see Wisely's finally getting some mainstream love.

Wow - never thought I'd see an interview with Willie Wisely! I actually own Turbosherbert (got it through being music director at my college station) and I love it - though it's the only album I've heard from him. Great interview - gonna have to check some of the rest of his stuff out now that I know he has more.

Thanks! I just added "Through Any Window," song and video, to my iTunes cart. And I don't even know who Jenna Fischer is.

Another fantastic interview, Jeff. You introduced me to Wisely's music way back when, and although I don't love "She," "Parador" is a favorite. I'm getting this one from eMusic right now.
