From ANDRAS JONES: We begin our Pop Oracle session with ELENI MANDELL with a segment that might be titled, “Middle aged hipster Jews trying to remember the 90’s” as I try and figure out when exactly it was that Eleni used to intimidate me and my band from behind the bar at The Highland Grounds. […]

From ANDRAS JONES: I first met Eleni Mandell at Highland Grounds in Hollywood where my band Mr. Jones & The Previous had some of our most epic early shows circa 1990. You know that face that stares out of her early album covers? That was no act. I don’t care how many people we got […]

From ANDRAS JONES: For this Pop Oracle session with ELENI MANDELL we are joined by a young songwriter with whom Eleni’s been working of late; MADISON CUNNINGHAM. Madison’s question, inspired by a Kahlil Gibran poem, approaches the emotions stirred up in the last reading from an intellectual point of view. If I may extend a […]

From ANDRAS JONES: For the first guest in our Pop Oracle session with ELENI MANDELL we are joined by birthday boy DINO STAMATOPOULOS. Dino was our first musical guest on this series and he’s basically the reason we got hooked up with Starburns and Feral Audio. We were taping unaware the wave of #metoo was […]

From ANDRAS JONES: For this Pop Oracle session ELENI MANDELL invited comedian RON LYNCH to join us. Turns out these two met at the old Largo on Fairfax where so much great, world shaking, comedy and music got it’s start. I played there once. It didn’t go well. There was a miscommunication. Someone was talking […]

From ANDRAS JONES: What makes a Pop Oracle session really pop? It’s a greater than the sum of its part-ness that may be courted but can never be controlled. We book the most soulful songwriters we know and ask them to invite “celebrity” guests from their world to ask the questions. When they can’t line […]

From ANDRAS JONES: ELENI MANDELL has the coolest friends. For this Pop Oracle session we are joined by songwriter JOHN GOLD who asks the kind of question I’m always excited to geek out on; the nature of synchronicity itself, and his answer couldn’t be any more perfect.
