From “Alive" to “Do the Evolution," Stone Gossard has engineered some of Pearl Jam’s biggest riffs. How does he recognize a great one? “It’s usually about sort of stumbling," he says. “My methodology is not knowing what I’m doing and making that work for me. You pick up a guitar and the first thing you do is maybe you throw a capo on it, but you don’t throw it across all of the strings, and you D-tune that string, and then you strum on that for a second, and then maybe you tune up the bottom string and do something with that. You have a thing that you do that’s good, but that thing is also your cliché, so you’re always trying to push it someplace new that still feels like it comes from what you like."

Stone Gossard spoke with us about his solo album Moonlander, thoughts on touring and his all-time favorite riff.

Bosnian Rainbows is our Band Of The Week. The project is commanded by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, who announced last year that his main band, The Mars Volta, would go in an indefinite hiatus.

He has certainly kept busy with his solo releases, but this is his next step in a solid alternative band, while keeping many of the experimental elements he is known for.

The band is completed by the Mars Volta drummer Deantoni Parks, keyboardist Nicci Kasper and singer Teri Gender Bender. Their self-titled debut album was released on June 25th.

This video is from their second single, "Turtle Neck". Enjoy.

For sure she is one of the best people in the world. @margenotsimpson I miss you. #MoveToLA #musicians #berlin #germany #brasil #friends
