Welcome Back! Three Tune Tuesday for October 27th! Everybody else will be doily Halloween vibes I assume, so I’m just sticking to my Producer Spotlight series. This week it’s Gavin MacKillop. I originally knew him as the guy who produced a couple 2000’s lesser known tunes I liked, but as I went back he did a bunch of huge successful stuff. Since it’s limited to 3 tunes, I’ll do 2000’s, 90’s & 80’s picking one tike from one album each era he produced. I’m definitely picking two lesser known bands for the 2000’s, MxPx & Sugarcult. One will be my bonus pick. He produced the huge Barenaked Ladies record from 1998. I remember seeing that all over everywhere that year! I first heard of them from there song Shoebox from the Friends soundtrack and like the tune and can remember being like oh wow I know that band. So they’ll be the nineties pick. Eighties I’ll go with General Public, a band @thebighigg told me about when we discussed The English Beat & where members went after splitting up. Plus it’s one of the only albums he produced with a hit pre nineties 🤣. This is def a random AF mix of songs. Some producers have a specific sound like Steve Albini and Butch Vig. I hear quality production here but not like a groundbreaking specific style. I’ll KE doing one last producer spotlight next week, maybe two more but I promise they will be quality to extremes on the tunes & albums they produced. These tunes are are all good, it’s just a very different vibe for each era. I can definitely hear it being same producer when I compare the 2000’s songs. I can hear the distinct guitar production and tell. Anyway go listen! 🎸

This week it’s quite random style wise, but for all you big music fans, he produced a few more nineties records so I’ll do a part two for nineties Friday later this week! Ok ok enjoy!
