Episode 4: The Beast with Two Backs

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:28:00 -0600

Sex. It can really get in the way. I imagine the sweetheart parts of this to be a daydream, so I idealized them. Robert Creeley underpins this with, “Now love also / becomes a reward so / remote from me I have / only made it with my mind.”

Please enjoy. Subscribe. A few of these songs are NSFW; use headphones at your discretion.

Episode 3: A Mutiny of Sweetness

Episode 3: A Mutiny of Sweetness

This podcast was inspired by #OccupyWallStreet and all of the Occupy protests around the country / world. As I was making it, I felt most attached to the pieces that expressed a sense of togetherness and humanity. To me, that is what it all boils down to, conceptually.

The first 5 pieces are from NYC artists. I also tried to artfully take a few pieces out of, what might be considered, their traditional context. I’ll let you decide if it works or not! Thanks for listening. Please subscribe.

Episode 2: Two Haircuts

Episode 2: Two Haircuts

A podcast about living among the dead, thriving even. It celebrates individuation, love, and the struggle/excitement dynamic that so often accompanies it. While you listen, I want you to think of how, as Neruda puts it, “Te pueblan ecos y voces nostálgicas.” or “You are peopled with echoes and nostalgic voices.”

Episode 1: Listen Loudly or Not At All

Episode 1: Listen Loudly or Not At All

Sometimes when I’m stressed out, I listen to Disintegration in the darkness of my basement, loud as shit. Plainsong, the first song on Disintegration, is one of my favorite songs, ever. It is delivered with a melancholy, but to me, it feels like a song of absolute devotion. And it’s nice enough to make a man weep. But I don’t weep, do you?
