I talk to the guys from 40 Feet Tall about playing with energy, the Portland Oregon Island of Misfit Toys, and what to make of their rising status in the PNW music scene. Honestly my favorite band to see live right now. Come see them play Pickathon this weekend, and follow them wherever (@fortyfeettall)
I talk to Te’Jani (@middlenametj) about using motivation, the eternal battle of shape rotators and wordcels, and being a black man in indie rock. Check out Shirtless wherever you listen to music, like and follow him on social media. Buy a T-shirt. Idk, this was a fun conversation and I want this kid to get the recognition his music deserves. Thank you to How Strange It Is for the intro/outro music.
Hey Y'all, I've been working for the last 2 years to get this fantasy football game off the ground. It's actually the reason I started posting anything online. Last couple weeks I have had to really focus my efforts on that, and the culmination of that effort is that the app will be launching this season! If you have any interest in checking it out, please go to Klubhouse.gg and sign up. That being said, I've had to use Smiling Strange to promote the app more these last couple wee...
Author and tiktok book influencer Evan Leikam comes on the podcast and, honestly, we mostly just talk about music. About the effect of playing in a band, trying to make a career out of it, and how to use the information you learn from that process in other parts of your life. Evan is the author of Anji Kills a King, please go read it out if you like fantasy books. Check him out at book_reviews_kill on tiktok and instagram. Please sign up at Klubhouse.gg
Man this was a fun conversation with Brandon Martin of VHS Ghost. We talked about making music during covid, the struggle to bring a successful streaming band into a live show, and dealing with some heavy stuff in life through art. Please check out his music wherever you get music, and follow him @vhs.ghost__ on instagram. Also please check out Klubhouse.gg to play my mario kart inspired fantasy football app
Hey so I made it to 15k followers! That's really cool for me. That's just on instagram too. I've got another 6k on tiktok which is also wild. Honestly all of this has been wild. I wanted to make a podcast where I just get out all my ideas on where I'm at, what I want to do, and what I plan on doing next. Solo pods are HARD. But I think I did a good job on this one. Thank you so so so much for all your support. Been a really crazy 6 months for me and I just cannot stress how much I ap...
Please sign up to play my fantasy football game at klubhouse.gg Mat Cothran of Coma Cinema and Elvis Depressedly joins the podcast to talk about conspiracy theories, Nintendo 64, and keeping music authentic even when it becomes your job. Mat’s a cool guy, I hadn’t met him before we played a show together and even then I didn’t get to talk to him all that much (I was filling in in that band and was grinding away at the songs like it was homework I forgot to do before class.) But reall...
I'm joined today by Blake Kasemeier of Blake of Today, where we talk about his history as a touring Hardcore musician, relating to Garden State throughout your life, trying to find authenticity in short form videos, and at the end we workshop a video take. Please check out Klubhouse.gg and sign up to play my fantasy football app, thank you for listening!
