Weird and Wonderful with Broke Ass Stuart

Hi! I lacked time to deal with a guest this week so I'm throwing up a placeholder which is me tellin you a roundabout way that phonographics was born. I actually enjoyed telling the story but as my brain works, each story is attached to 20 others, especially when it's about something I've been doin for almost 30 years, which is screenprinting. I'm headed to San Francisco to pop up and sell my wares at Madone Art Bar on Saturday 3/27/2021. if you're around tha Bay I'd love to see you. Support the cause at phonographics.net follow the show and my self on instagram instagram.com/sonnyphono instagram.com/beendoingthispod instagram.com/phono.graphics Thanks y'all!

Krista Nakamura has been a trained pastry chef for a number of years and her COVID-19 pivot was from bartending a full sweaty bar, back to her roots. She offers SUPER CUTE lil meal kits along with custom ckaes and delicious baked goods! Super fun conversation cause I love to cook as well!

This episode's guest is arguably the hardest working frontman in San Francisco's music scene. ROJAI You may know him from the legendary band, Bayonics, heard his work with E Live or B Bravo or seen his quartet The Pocket in a smaller venue if you've been around The City in the last 21 years. He has put out an incredible about of music and his versatility is far understated.

It's BACK!!! BEEN DOIN' THIS!!!!! Been on hiatus while I get my bearings after the relocation. I kinda fucked up with the new mic so the audio isn't awesome but the conversation is good enough to listen to the episode. My apologies to Jenn for that! Luckily she sounds better than I do. Here's some info about this episode's guest, my friend, The Feathered Leopard: The Feathered Leopard is a 'one woman show' originally created in 2005, by Jenn Hall. While living in San Francisco in the early 2000’s, she started creating wild leather & feather earrings, then moved on to create custom leather fringe handbags, and other creative, yet useful leather goods. In 2013, Jenn started tooling & dying her leather goods, and moved into stone (mainly Turquoise) Inlay in leather. "I’m a creative person at heart, and once leather became my canvas, I seriously fell in love." says Jenn. In March of 2019, Jenn decided to take a chance and opened up a retail/workshop right outside of midtown Sacramento. As her business grew, she wanted to include the main aspects in her life that she could enjoy & share with others. She has special collection of original 60’s-70’s Home Décor, including Vintage Macramé Plant Hangers, as well as California Pottery, Glassware & more. You can now find her at the 2nd Sunday Antique Faire in Midtown Sacramento. After the tough decision to close her retail shop during this Covid-19 Pandemic, Jenn now works from her home studio in Land Park, Sacramento. She is honing in on her stone inlay craft, and working toward developing tutorials and learning materials for people new to leatherwork or wanting to develop a specialized skill. Jenn is a longtime avid gardener. She has landscaped, built beds, grown & cared for plants over the last 15+ years. She began propagating spider plants several years ago, and has moved onto a variety of succulents, jade, and cactus. Her main focus has always been to create from the heart, connect & share with others, and practice her passion.

Welcome back to Been Doin' This! Episode 15 is special to me, a man I consider a brother, a best friend for 29 years, my mentor in so much of what I do and a guide to who I am. I am very pleased to have a 2 hour conversation with UNITE. A very good DJ, an imposing and lyrically gifted MC/a prolific Music Producer, an experienced party promoter and so many other things, we are going to have to do more cause there's just so much to our journey together and we basically frame his life's work and leave some details and projects out. Sometimes the show isn't just about what we make, but what makes us. Please enjoy. You can find him here https://www.instagram.com/djunite/ https://www.facebook.com/TribeofKingsSound/ https://tribeofkings.wordpress.com/?fbclid=IwAR3pcOE7UyZ1EKlIBMLYhnrjGteADuZ4RoVlRRbtgVF-Fv3BHq54tco_E3k https://sonidodelafrontera.bandcamp.com/album/cumbia-mundial-edici-n-deluxe

We BACK!! Took a couple weeks off for some quality time with Beatrice before returning her to her mother's care in Oregon. This episode is basically a couple dudes in the music/nightlife industry chopping it up, but Andrew has forged his path and made a place or his scene in Austin TX to levels I wish I could sat I've achieved. He's also a very kind hearted dude and works to put people that are making music on. Check out his work in the links below!

We back after an unplanned week off! My guest this episode is the talented and Soulovely DJ, Lady Ryan. We talk about getting her love for music, getting her start as a DJ and crossing over from the Gay Club scene in The Bay and playing mixed rooms. She has a distinctive sound and style and most of her parties and projects end up becoming more of a brand and experience than a gig that happens in one place. There's a lot of ground we cover and we could probably talk for hours on a host of subjects. Check it out if you want to hear two acquaintances vibe out heavy for an hour or so. You can find Lady Ryan and check her work with these links! https://linktr.ee/LadyRyan www.ladyryan.com www.twitch.com/djladyryan www.instagram.com/djladyryan www.facebook.com/djladryan www.instagram.com/wearesoulovely www.instagram.com/peaches_crew

We back! Took last week off due to some technical difficulties and scheduling issues so here we are with your episode of BEEN DOIN' THIS!! Episode 12! It's fitting that the 12th episode of the show is with a Democratic Socialist candidate for Congress in California's 12th District. I got to talk to Shahid Buttar about his origin story, how he got to San Francisco, his resume as an activist and how he ended up in a race for a congressional seat against the most powerful Democrat in the United States. In my opinion he's a good dude living in the Haight with a real drive to properly represent average San Franciscans in the House Of Representatives. Check it out and decide if you want to support. If you live outside of San Francisco, perhaps you can look to who is running in your elections or get involved remotely and phone bank for progressive candidates all over.

Welcome back! This week for Episode 11 I have a very special guest. Gunna Goes Global is a San Francisco Native, a rapper, actor, artist and self described "Gangstavist". He's been very active in San Francisco and the entire Bay Area's BLACK LIVES MATTER movement as of late. Himself with a group calling themselves the Bay Bridge 27 recently shut down the San Francisco Bay Bridge to traffic on Sunday 6/14/2020. We discuss growing up Black in San Francisco, how the police is used to promote gentrification and touch on the demands of the Bay Bridge 27, their 8 point program and what he has come to expect from TECH in S.F. and Silicon Valley. As usual with musicians I've added a tune before and after the interview. Here's some links to follow Gunna, a gofundme that's direct to his group, his music and others to follow.

Episode 10!!! BEATRICE!!!! What's up y'all? I had my feelers out to a few guests this week, with current events being what they are, people are busy being active. I decided to keep it in house and interview my kid. We talk about what it's like to be my kid, a teenager in quarantine, school, relocation and aspirations.

Been Doin' This! Episode 9 is great! I got to talk to Nico who runs the awesome art gallery/screen printing shop Fleetwood in the heart of San Francisco's Tenderloin. Nico, like many of my guests has a drive to do what she loves and tends to go into her work with a commitment and willingness to let things work themselves out. I got to print at her shop for a day and I was very much at home with the vibes there. Below is the shop bio and some links! Support small businesses! https://www.instagram.com/fleetwood_sf/ https://fleetwoodsf.com/ https://sffirstthursday.com/ Fleet Wood is a print shop, art gallery, and locally-made retail store in San Francisco where fresh t-shirts are printed daily. They've been printing their own brand of casual lifestyle apparel and accessories since 2010 and opened their brick and mortar in the Tenderloin in 2015. They hand screenprint each t-shirt one at a time, so each one is truly unique. Fleet Wood is focused on comfort and wearability, and their vintage tourism-inspired line of everyday tees represents chill vibes that engage both locals and visitors alike. They work hard, they play hard, and they respect that San Francisco hustle.

Episode 8 is here and to be honest this thing is moving along FAST! This week's guest is one of my longest standing friendships dating back to when I was 9 or 10 years old. We literally grew up together through several different phases and have remained close friends. He is a fierce rapper with a sometimes overwhelming stage presence. His music is genuine, thought provoking and serious, which is a perfect reflection of the man himself. A dependable and honorable dude I am blessed to consider him family. Check out his music, produced by his partner and major DJ, Tenshun here: https://stuntdoubleandtenshun.bandcamp.com/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/2RFwOzJoW3d3LWgEhKU5Oe?si=7_FNd__-RbyjrB0KOfV9Ag https://www.instagram.com/p/B_y0u81jtdD/

Another week another rad conversation with an old friend and a BIG influence on me. If you ask Tim Martinez what he's been doin', there's a seeming infinite number of directions he could go in, in detail. He's a multitalented, open, positive, driven person. I would say ENIGMATIC is a good descriptor. We have a lot in common in where we came from as 80's skateboard kids, growing into DJs and artists there's a lot of parallels in our paths, however his ability to execute at a high level always escaped me until recently. We talk early days and career paths up to present, he's involved in a very dope streetwear brand and consulting while raising twins and making music with his bad ass wife, Brevi who I am hoping to get on in the very near future. A song they made together ends the show, a long one, but I enjoyed the playback and you have some time to kill so.... ENJOY! Thanks Tim for your time! Here's some links to find him and his work, maybe the longest link copy in paste I'll ever have on the show!

Hey gang! Episode 6 is here and I had a chance to talk to Mónica María who is an AMAZING songwriter, singer, multi instrumentalist and healer based in Oakland, California. This is the first episode that I'm talking to someone I haven't known for years and years. We had a nice conversation about her musical career to date leading up to her first full length album "Nuevos Caminos". Since California has been sheltered in place due to COVID-19 she has been live streaming acoustic performances every Thursday evening on facebook that I HIGHLY recommend! All her music is up via streaming services... I encourage you to order her CD as well! Here's the links where you can find her music! https://monicamariamusic.com/ LIVE STREAM THURSDAY NIGHTS: Facebook.com/ThisIsMonicaMaria Instagram.com/ThisIsMonicaMaria,

I had a cool little chat with an old friend Vannessa who is also known by "Chula and the Crocodile. She is an artist, a toy collector and a DJ. We spend most of the episode talking about her cooking. She is AMAZING with food and I kinda kept it in that lane as I admire her style and recipes so much. I love to cook and I learned so much from her just hanging out in the kitchen when she would have me and Beat over for dinners. Here's a link to her instagram, she will hopefully be popping up and doing some large format dinners again in the future and if you're anywhere near the San Francisco Bay Area I promise you it will be worth the trip! Thanks Vannessa! https://www.instagram.com/chula_and_the_crocodile/

This episode continues the autobiographical trend of the show, a long time friend joins me from New South Wales, Australia! Cap N Pharaoh and I go way back, and as our lives parted ways in a somewhat extreme fashion there's still a lot of love between us. I'm so stoked that most of these have been with good friends. I was surprised at where his life had lead. We talk about his penchant for mischief, mechanics, moving around and somehow landing on his feet. He's built an off grid home only to have to defend it from the massive brush fires while he was moving his family in! He's also a member of my patreon page so thanks for that Nate, much love and I hope to get to visit out there someday! Join the Patreon for early access! patreon.com/sonnyphono

Welcome back! Today's guest is a friend of mine from high school days and also a subscriber! Zack Lobisch joins me to talk about growing up in San Diego and the paths his life has taken him which lead to being a free spirited creative person. He is an amazing painter and his practical carpentry projects are equally impressive. Something (out of many things) Zack and I have in common, we stayed true to ourselves and have been able to adapt and survive when some choices or circumstances are unconventional and unfortunate. I enjoyed catching up with the homie and hope you'll enjoy it too! Thanks so much for your support!

This week's guest on BDT is Shirley Brooks. She is a career bartender, bar manager and mom. Sometimes bartenders aren't thought of too much past a drink order, so I wanted to have her on and talk about her journey and where she's at today, which is happy. You can find her here if you're interested in being her friend, or ever need bar consultation or off site mixologists! https://www.instagram.com/bottom_ofthe_barrel/ https://www.instagram.com/yelrihsskoorb/ Also here are the staff fundraisers for both Pops and Madrone: https://www.gofundme.com/f/pops-bar-emergency-fund?utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet+exp4c https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-madrone-staff-survive-the-shutdown Thanks for tuning in!

Yes yes y'all! This is the WORLD PREMIER of my new podcast Been Doin' This! In Episode 1, I speak to Broke-Ass Stuart about... well being himself. Where the premise of the show was to get another side of what people find themselves getting into Stuart is pretty much 100% himself and on his hustle. Going from making zines to a multi media poor man's activism web base his career has evolved in unpredictable ways over the last almost 20 years. While I couldn't quite nail down an ancillary interest or hobby one thing Stuart has BEEN DOIN' this whole time and since I first met him has been saying "Fuck Yes!" and seeing where it goes. Find him! @brokeassstuart on all socials and brokeassstuart.com Love you! -Sonny Phono
