Pilot Waves

Predator and prey, a cycle of destruction, recorded media and using your time or not using it. Or looking at it different or not looking at it at all. A poem shared, excerpts from a book read and please do reach out and participate in this collective, since you have no choice but to be a part of the symbiosis, you might as well let your voice be heard out loud. What do you have to lose? We Are Pilot Waves.

Garage punk two piece Teen Mortgage climbed out of Washington DC's primordial hardcore soup in 2017. Drenched in the left - over fuzz and sludge of their local scene, the duo quickly bulldozed their way to a regional reputation after assaulting the publics' ears on incessant east coast tours and opening for notable bands such as Ron Gallo, Surf Curse, Big Business, Alex Lahey, The Chats, Bass Drum of Death, JEFF The Brotherhood, Mike Krol, The Coathangers, Meatbodies etc. In June 2019, Teen Mortgage sicced their ruthless EP "Life/Death" on the world through Brooklyn, NY's King Pizza Records. It has since sold out its limited cassette run and album cuts have earned sync deals with Vans Shoes, Evil Bikes, and Showtime series Shameless. The album also gained recognition as recipients of multiple 2020 Wammies (The Washington Area Music Awards) for Best Punk Band and Best Punk Song for "Falling Down." Teen Mortgage, return post pandemic with “Smoked”, their sophomore release through greasy Brooklyn cassette slingers, King Pizza Records. Once again, the duo are back to smack you over the head with seething surf punk riffs setting the scene to explain this cultural wasteland they call America. Live performances by Teen Mortgage, digital beat bumpers provided by Fat Kneel

Formed in 2016 by guitarist/singer Betsy Wright (Ex Hex) and drummer Laura King (Flesh Wounds, Speed Stick), the duo specialize in prescription-strength shred and churn meant to stiffen the upper lip and crack the third-eye. Slick and sick visions channeled from the midnight mirror world. Acid-soaked hard-rock to thrill the living and raise dead. After two years touring as a bassist, Wright was eager to reconnect with the electric guitar and to push her pop-songwriting skills toward a slightly darker zone. She sent a few demos to King, who signed on to play drums. Together, they pushed the music into a deeper and more otherworldly place.

Beats by @fat-kneel How do you view, the things that you do? Special thank you to Dwayne Johnson who brought me to this. Hope to see you in Montreal again one day.

Please check out the extraordinarily and diversely talented Jong Lee at www.jivesound.com. The man does a lot of stuff and he does it with passion and technique. Now here are a bunch of semi-related phrases about the show, that perhaps will get you to click that link; support Jong Lee in his many musical efforts and therefore make the world a better place and fulfill your end of the social contract. This was recorded shortly before the holidays kicked into gear, so we talk classic overplayed Christmas songs, Jong Lee professes his love for chicken through a smoking guitar tune, we feature another edition of "Who's More Punk Rock?" and we declare Hail Santa one of the many Christmas gods.

Where else can you hear three beautiful live performances of original music by Joey Jenkins, hear the crew talk about, classical music, The Beatles, The Dave Clark Five and Doja Cat and witness the bold declaration that older music is better. Because it is. Come for the live music, stay for Don referring to using the Internet as "picking things from the web".

Amanda, Alex, Don, and Will analyze the benefits and drawbacks of living beneath a volcano. Will brings us back on track with a song after we've veered off course a little. What would you do if you had $100,000,000? We try to imagine what zen master Don might do. Amanda reflects on the growth opportunities and connections that being on stage has manifested. And where is Fred? Find out what happened to our musical director. Will serenades us once more in Fred's honor with the sultry sounds of his guitar. John, a guest, shares his experience with musicals. The arts, tattoos, and piercings are explored, and Don explains what a CCO is. You won't want to miss this and much more on this week's edition of StageCraft.

Dr. Peggy Blood from Art.State.Gov: “My creative works are composed of vibrant bright hues and muted darks. Each painting tells a story about life observed in the US or through my travels. Many of my painting have multi-views of different experiences in one composition; the viewer is led from one area to various related shapes. Most works are of mixed media; natural and tangible objects that overlap with rhythmic motion and streams of colors for an expressionistic type of genre painting.”

This is an interview with the Hanoi Ragmen, they also perform songs.

Was Diamond Dave the original singer of Minor Threat? Was their tour manager Fred Rogers? Willie Nelson Morales performs the Thelonious Monk classic "Ruby My Dear", Amanda Dove performs her original song "Fissure" and Hero Magnus shares her song about what it would be like to lie on a hospital bed pleading for your partner to pull the plug. Where else would you rather be, then right here, right now...with all of us. Click that play button already, we don't have all day.

Can you petition (insert higher power or dashboard idol here) with prayer? How do you feel about mouth sounds and poop humor? Could one of us be Gawd? Did Don try to punish us for not recording the show outside in 100 degree heat? Have you sniffed a loved one's face recently? Sustenance and show fuel provided by Acme Pie Company, Bake Shop and New District Brewing Company.

MJ's farewell for now show as she heads off on a road trip and to her new home in Kansas City, Amanda played a recent show with her band Dad Legs at a bucket list venue in DC; that came after an urgent call and Alex talks about how he remembers being born. We have a cameo (real life not electronic) by Jeff Turner of Gray Matter, Don tells the story about when he told U2 to go kick rocks and we get into the French words baby. Is goat yoga just a practical joke on rich people? Don dumpster dived for what? Is your art your currency? Baby bombs? Sound engineer: Josh Roberts

We start with a meditation...and then since our Queen of light MJ the Charisma is not with us...it gets dark. Do ya' got any of that good, good Om? Count the clinks and win a prize. Does anyone else smell burning toast? No, but we do toast a fallen and beloved Grandmother who gave Fred longevity advice, we talk about our relations to infamous figures in history, Don finally gets to use his gonorrhea joke after years of waiting and of course we discuss and spill beer that we purchased from our neighbors at New District Brewing Company. All here for you, StageCraft Mark 2, until someone tells us to stop. Maybe it will be you?

Joey Jenkins and Alex Alavi with beautiful musical performances, MJ and Don tell us how they keep it tight, Dr. StageCraft tries a new costume out and as always musical director Fred "It's one F" Hof and Willie Nelson-Morales prove they are indeed the world's most dangerous two-man band. We are the sensation that is stimulating the nation; get on down to the alley behind Inner Ear, Tuesdays at 4pm EST if you want to be a part of this crazy caravan of love, beer and fresh baked bread bears. StageCraft, Mark 2. until someone tells us (pays us) to stop. Check out our YouTube page if you want something visual, that's not too abysmal. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzUE7195xqABY1QT9F55rrg

Idaho? More like you 'da ho! Don finds his destiny as an insult comic, Fred sings about a brown bear who may or may not smoke a perfectly legal plant and WE DARE YOU TO COME TO THE OPEN MIC OF DOOM NEXT WEEK PLAYA!

Do you want to hear the boys get their super balls busted? Tune in. Listen to the Fred Hof interview from before for the full context. Welcome to StageCraft Mark 2. Until someone tells us to stop.

Ben Senses is part of a new generation of Washington, D.C. post-hardcore artists, inspired by the ethos of 1985's Revolution Summer, but asserting themselves with their own sound and storytelling. We talk with him about his experiences in the St. Louis scene in comparison to the D.C. scene, the good and the bad of "siloing" within a community and with your listening habits and we discuss what it takes to be open to special moments and how frequently they can happen. Our musical bed provided by the incomparable Fat Kneel and all of this is made possible by our partner in crime, WERA-LP 96.7 FM.

What are the duties, challenges and opportunities when you are an opening act? Sound off, let us know your opinions.

Recorded pre-pandemic. We have a great chat with Ruth about finding your voice, the importance of bombing on stage, working with a boisterous crowd and how to deal with a lover who has a request you aren't super excited about. Listen to learn the benefits of micro-dosing folic acid and wonder to yourself what that buzzer sound was all about. As always our sensational musical bed is provided by the devastatingly talented Fat Kneel and Joshua Rich delivers onto us his usual Snippets of Wisdom segment. We do appreciate your listens but we would love for you to share this episode as well. Special thanks to WERA-LP 96.7 FM and the crew there making it work. Antonio, Jackie, Lauree and Lynn. We love you! Photo model is Morganna Queen of Bethesda.

Don't stay home this time! Recorded pre-pandemic, Eric tells us the best part about an open mic. The atmosphere he tries to cultivate there, his philosophy of improvement and how it influences his music, life and beer brewing; and we drink a fair amount of beer. Come listen to us get loose and say some things...lovely, silly, controversial and maybe truthful things. Well always truthful. Listen to us talk about the downfall of America in some kind of prescient moment, long before the pandemic took hold here in the states. As always we thank the sorcerer of mad ass beats Fat Kneel for providing our sound bed, Joshua Rich for another of his Snippets of Wisdom segments and of course the mighty WERA-LP 96.7 FM who makes this all possible. Listen for our shout outs in this episode from Don Z himself to our beloved MixCloud Select subscribers. What is the crux of the matter? What do music teachers need to do more of? Make sure to listen all the way to the end. Love you all.

Here is a band called The Buzz talking about all the things they do, well most of the things they do...ok, ok. They talk about SOME of the things they do. They also perform songs, talk about what brought them to music performance and what keeps them excited; they also reveal a special untapped market for live music they have found. Could be relevant if we ever get to hang around together in large crowds again. Oh yeah and we find out the first show Don ever went to...pretty damn cool.

Adriana-Lucia Cotes wanted to break all the rules, so she did and continues to do so and will keep doing so as long as she can dance too. We hear all about Adriana's first taste of the spotlight; an interview on TV with hard hitting questions on her favorite color and numbers, classic gotcha journalism on the way to school one day.

Louie Palu, is an award-winning documentary photographer whose work has appeared in festivals, publications + exhibitions internationally.

He is well known for his work which examines social political issues such as human rights, conflict and poverty. Louie, his co-director Devin Gallagher and writer Murray Brewster present a documentary film, based on his own Louie's private journals during his coverage of the war in Afghanistan.

In his own words, he's an expert, a crank, a busy-body, perhaps even a know-it-all and he runs with the "tribe that can't stop thinking about stuff". A micro-episode with our new pal Buck Downs, click and listen to his story, then we are all working together for success, this we do believe! Buck is a poet, he is a writer and a consultant and his office looks exactly like you would imagine, it's that sort of mess that romanticizes the notion of being a person who "has their own system".

DMV veteran Buck Downs shares his stories with us; we discuss the importance of having a process, finding your circle of friends for sharing of ideas and feedback, life fucking with you, sending out 200 postcards a month and beginning to create again after experiencing break downs. On September 11th, Buck will be reading at Zed's Cafe and September 18th at PHILALALIA. http://www.zedscafe.com/ http://philalalia.com/

Down with the Bastards, Up with the Party! Chrissy and Jason from Jack on Fire talk about the inspiration and real life pain and bullshit for a few of their songs like "Burn down the Brixton", I'm Not Your Fucking Baby" "Condos" and "Andy Harris Needs to Smoke Some Weed". Serious issues make for sass and shaking your ass. Makes you laugh otherwise you would have to cry.

Dominic Fragman is an exceptionally talented percussionist who studies under the tutelage of Paul F. Murphy and Dr. Cecil Taylor. Dominic's passions are playing, learning and spreading the wisdom of how to be more open to improvisation, how to open yourself up to the possibilities within your creativity and how the drums are as important of a compositional instrument as the piano. This was an eye-opener for me personally and I hope for you as well.

They want to make you dance, they want to make you squirm so you better bring some dance shoes and an emotional tarp because you might just hear a song that makes you think "is this about me?" Jason and Kristina of Coup Sauvage sit down with Chelsea Shorte and talk about using anger as inspiration, the DMV music scene, the song Requiem for a Mountaintop and what the House of Sauvage is and the lineage it may or may not share with DMV Ball Culture.

Special thanks to our new interviewer and a guest from our last season, Chelsea Shorte.

Loved talking to Paul and Mason of Catscan! They muse about people talking during their shows, their desire to be two - one man bands, their successful Kickstarter campaign and being the Larry David's of the DMV music scene. You also get to hear a track off their new album Challenger Deep and Alex asks for help in showing the power of the podcast. https://www.facebook.com/catscanboys http://thecatscanwebsite.com/ https://soundcloud.com/catscanboys
