Episode Synopsis
The New Dad Rock presents a field-recorded farewell.This wasnât the episode we plannedâbut itâs the one we had to make. Episode 100 is a requiem for RubĂ©n, Keithâs dear friend and one of the few true guerilla contributors to this podcast. Keith was supposed to meet RubĂ©n in Lucerne, Switzerland the first couple days of June 2025, but Ruben left this world ten days before Keith arrived. Keith didnât change his plans. How could he? What youâll hear are unfiltered field recordingsâno overdubs, no editsâcaptured on September 2, 2021, February 17, 2022, June 4, 2022, and December 7, 2023. These were originally recorded as part of our unofficial, off-the-cuff episodes. This episode was edited over two days in June 2025 while Keith was in Lucerne.RubĂ©n wouldâve loved this. He always encouraged the art, the chaos, the beauty in the imperfect.At one point, around 14 minutes in, RubĂ©n talks about visiting peopleâs homes and listening to their records, saying itâs like trying on someone elseâs clothes. Keith tells RubĂ©n he is never inviting him over to his house. RubĂ©n just laughs: "Weâre the same size." Six months later, RubĂ©n and Keith are at RubĂ©n's friendâs house playing music together and RubĂ©n suggests they switch shirts, which they did. The picture used as the podcast thumbnail is them post-shirt exchange. This episode isnât just about RubĂ©n. It is RubĂ©n. đïž EPISODIO 100: Un RĂ©quiem por RubĂ©nThe New Dad Rock presenta una despedida grabada en campo.Este no era el episodio que habĂamos planeado, pero era el que tenĂamos que hacer.
