The Vinyl Detroit Podcast Interview - Matthew Jacobson of Le Grand Magistery Part 2
Episode notes
In this episode of The Vinyl Detroit Podcast Interview, Brian continues his discussion with Matthew Jacobson, founder of the label Le Grand Magistery. Because the interview was so fantastic and provided a rare glimpse into the label, this interview is presented in 2 parts.
In part 2 of this 2-part discussion about the label, Matthew starts by sharing his experiences working with Jack White and the Third Man Records team. Matthew takes some time to recount how he gave Wilco a personal tour of Third Man Nashville and ended up designing posters for their tour. He further shares how he and his wife Leigh collaborated to create Marriage Records as a project to jointly release records together.
Having ran the label for about 20 years, Matthew shared the parts of running a record that he both loved and loathed and discussed the label's only employee Evan Beckwith. Coming full circle, Matthew also discusses the role of record labels in the modern era of downloads and streaming. Lastly, Matthew puts into focus the gradual (or maybe not) winding down of Le Grand Magistery with his final release by Divino Niño.
This episode features music from Le Grand Magistery artists Momus, A Girl Called Eddy, Stars and PAS/CAL.
Featuring part 2 of the fourth “The Vinyl Detroit Podcast Interview” with Matthew Jacobson, founder of Le Grand Magistery, please sit back, relax and enjoy Brian’s deep discussion with the magic of Matthew Jacobson.
