What the Hell is Up

Welcome back to the show, stars. In today's episode, you'll hear the loveliest of interviews I had with Lara de la Rosa, owner of Lazy Cow bakery, a vegan cafe and mutual aid space in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. We discussed the values of Lazy Cow which are rooted in mutual aid, non-hierarchical business, and community. You'll hear music by the incredible Maya Marie, a recent recipient of Seattle's Sonic Guild grant for local musicians. Currently, Lazy Cow faces the threat of demolition after the building was bought out by a billion-dollar development company. Sign the petition to save Lazy Cow and if you're in Seattle, stop by the cafe or purchase a beautiful vegan cake!

What the hell is up stars? I'm tuning in on a cozy Autumnal evening, which in Los Angeles followed a 79 degree day. Nonetheless, the effortless feeling of fall in it's ability to transport us to something a bit slower, and perhaps more inward, feels noticeable to me. And with it ushers in a time to consider gratitude. In today's episode, I'm featuring my bestie, my logo designer, my creative collaborator, my little sis Cal! We discuss her move to LA, intuition and sisterhood, and our passion for dance together. I hope you enjoy learning about the lovely Callan Moore and the way our sisterhood has formed us. I also feature "I Burned my Diary Last Night" by LA-based indie pop artist Lyncs, which is the perfect ode to letting yourself fall.

What the hell is up stars? I went back and forth on what to name this episode. I could've called it rooted in the process of songwriting, rooted in being a band, or rooted in each other, but the central theme here really did feel like it was about being a baby. I sat down with LA-based indie, folk rock band to discuss the formation of their band and their first three singles. In today's episode you'll hear Kieffer, Elon and Julian, share thoughts on musical inspiration from John Mayer to James Jamerson, how it feels to be a baby in LA, and what it's like to stay rooted through mental illness. I felt rooted in conversation with these three talented musicians and funny pals. I hope you do too.

Hello stars... today I am coming to you live in this first week of Leo Season, a few days before my 27th birthday. Here I reflect on cultivating hope despite struggling through anxiety, depression and working in places that can feel grim. I believe that the cultivation of hope, through patient, community-led efforts is a sure way to loving kindness. This episode felt healing to speak out. I hope you enjoy.

What the hell is up stars??? Today we're rooting into sad lesbian music. I sat down with LA's Girlfriend on the Moon in my newly minted podcast studio to chat about queer identity, labels, love, heart break, and ridiculous stories that can't be real but are because they're gay. We laughed and got deep as we rooted into some of the sadder stories which have formed us. This is the queer gal chat I might have longed to hear when I was a teenager.

Hello stars. What the hell is up? I'm settling into Los Angeles and after the rainstorms from last week, which caused quite a disruption here, the sun has returned, and with it my spirit to release an episode! In today's episode, I discuss what I've been up to getting rooted in the present, while admittedly being rooted in the past. I'd argue that reflecting about the past allows us to be present and to create a bright future. What the hell is up with you? I'm very excited to also share some media and music gems which have been bringing me life including the song Empty Head by Frankie Cosmos, released through Seattle's Subpop Records.

What the hell is up? It's the holidays!!! And today I'm examining staying rooted in desire. You'll hear an incredible cover of Santa Baby by Sug Daniels, who is a Philadelphia-based singer, songwriter, and producer. Sug released an EP called Franklin Street with Weird Sister Records in 2021, and I know you're going to be enchanted by her sweet, folksy yet enticing voice with a ukulele-driven sound in this Sug-afied version of Santa Baby. I also speak briefly about the iconic original singer of this classic Christmas song. I hope that you might feel inspired to look deeply into your desires, stars. Merry Christmas if you celebrate and happy Solstice to all. Love you!

What the hell is up stars? I'm back with another episode! Just days before I left for Los Angeles with my sister for this grand move of mine, I snuck in one last interview with a star I'd wanted to chat with for a while. I had the sparkling opportunity to sit down with Lakewood-raised Livt, who is now a Seattle-based musician and filmmaker. In this episode, Liv and I reflect on the motivations behind her entire discography, her sources of inspiration, and the why that keeps her rooted in herself and her art-making. As a queer gal on my own journey of self-acceptance, Liv's words of wisdom landed at an opportune moment. This episode did not come without a few bumps in the road, both geographically and metaphorically. Listen in stars, and root with me.

Hello, stars! Welcome back to another episode of the pod. In today's episode, I reveal my Seattle roots while asking what the hell is up with Tacocat? I school fellow music podcaster Isabel Corp on this pop-punk feminist iconic group. Izzy hosts the podcast Sounding Out with Izzy: A Grrrl's Two Sound Cents Podcast and runs a blog where she highlights non-binary, women, and queer femme people in the music industry. Izzy invited me into a collaboration to each introduce the other to a band from our home towns. I chose the sparkly, feminist palindromic Tacocat, who carried me through shitty coming of age moments, and inspired me to dream of more. Stay tuned for my feature on Izzy's show to learn about Boston's The Modern Lovers.

Hello dears! I've been on a hiatus! A much-needed spontaneous recuperation session. I've been hiding out with friends and family before my big move down to Los Angeles. I've been rooting myself in my yoga practices, yard dances, reading, writing, and the frequent tearful friend call as I've been processing a dizzying amount of change. But enough on that. Today's episode is the SEASON TWO FINALE sponsored by the What the Hell is Up Live Show from July 2nd at Cafe Racer. That night, I discussed the story of a star whilst surrounded by stars. Turns out we are all always surrounded by stars in one way or another. Sometimes it might just be a bit harder to see them due to light pollution, smoke, or unrelenting distraction. May we always see ourselves as stars and recognize the starry-qualities in those around us. Thanks for tuning in. You're a star and I love you.

Hellllo.... happy summer stars!! What the hell is up? Back in June, I sat down with Seattle-based duo Lobes and Haywire to hear the story of their friendship, collaboration and the stories behind their recent projects. Rapper Alex Olobia, who goes by the name of Lobes, and Hayden Wires, an electronic artist, came together through an event called Party for People, which I helped put on in 2018. From this meeting point of friendship and passion, Lobes mustered the courage and confidence to grow from a Soundcloud Rapper into a performing rapper and the two collaborated to create a full-length album called Samurai Black. Almost 4 years later and Lobes and Haywire continue to perform on local Rap and Hip Hop stages, alongside other friends and collaborators. Both speak to the process of "sending it down the slopes" for the sake of artistry and personal growth and that feeling of being "Brand New" in the process. It was SO friggin' fun to sit down and chat with Lobes and Haywire, who I've personally known for several years now. Thanks for being here, this is what the hell is up.

It's the beginning of June and it's still cloudy in Seattle. What does that mean? It means Seattleites are still longing for sunnier weather, where we might crawl out of our shells and reconnect with ourselves and one another. I spent the long memorial weekend under a cloudy Spokane sky, so today's episode brings you reflections on cloudiness, the nature of clouds, and this idea of artistic delusion that keeps us both frustrated and inspired.

Today you'll hear from Mary Robins and Hexx Rodriguez of Biblioteka, Seattle-based garage, punk band who A) enthusiastically supports the efforts of your local library and 2) is here to F*CK SHIT UP, and by that they really mean, have a good friggin time. We discuss their recent single "Where Did We Go Wrong" which was put out as a tribute to Ukraine after a haunting experience right here in Seattle. We also muse over the idea of fried butter and whether it is better to choose to be a rock, river or tree. This is a fun, interesting, deep and hyggeligt episode, mixed with some groovy tunes!

What the hell is up, stars? What a magical time to be a woman... Am I right? You can get a tinder date in 2 seconds flat any night of the week yet your right to bodily autonomy and reproductive decision making may be on the brink of loss. On May 3, I headed into the streets with my chosen family to protest the Supreme Court's potential overturning of Roe vs. Wade. I know you've already heard about this by now, but I'm here to ask what the hell is up with the green wave? This movement to color a nation with green became a symbol across Latin America, and now its our turn to become a wave of green for abortion rights.

In today's episode, Thavoron and I sat down for spicy tea in my pod studio to chat about the story behind his EP Bold and his full-length album Ugly. Thav and I dive deep in vulnerability here, reflecting on heartbreak, queerness and love. Thav is a young artist with a TON of personality, talent and thoughtfulness.

What the hell is up stars??? A crisp spring sky, and one that might hopefully find itself cloudless sometime soon. I've been thinking about the idea of an authentic self and finding sweetness as we change and the world changes. I met a sheep named Jimmy the other day, so I'd like to dedicate this podcast to him.

What the hell is up, stars? Have you ever been in the car with that friend who completely hogs the aux but doesn't read the room? Compare that to being in the club with your besties, a round of tequila shots and a DJ who keeps the groove set right the entire night. DJs have a magical ability to read the room and manipulate the energy of a crowd through music. In today's episode, I chatted with Afterspace, who is a multi-genre electronic artist, DJ and producer, who created the music for season two of What the Hell is Up. We discussed his story of becoming a DJ and artist of Dubstep--a genre I had not fully appreciated until this conversation (but am now obssessing over, especially if I'm listening while wielding a Light Saber). We explore ideas about finding creative flow and you'll hear a creative reflection inspired by a tarot card reading.

What the hell is up stars? Well, most poignantly, this ongoing panini and all that it requires of us. That is, patience, resilience and flexibility amidst changing plans. Due to COVID-inspired plan changes, I present to you a THROW BACK episode featuring the inspired, talented, and compassionate Ings, Lullaby-rock extraordinaire. This episode originally aired in August of 2019 and offered clarity on all kinds of questions I had about authentic creativity. How do we create mindfully, joyfully and kindly? This episode had a bit of a slower and more wandering pace than my newer episodes. It's a marker of growth and change, but still one I cherish because of the hyggeligt nature of Ings' and I's artful conversation over a crunchy Kransekake.

Ever seen one of those "heroes work here" signs??? Seriously, though, what the hell is up with that? I'm a Nurse working on the front lines during the Panini, blah blah blah, and I've got some big T on all things SUPER. Started off with a quarantine-fueled venture into the Spiderverse and then I found myself wondering all sorts of things about how we find our Super power and what we do with it. Turns out maybe instead of trying to save anyone else, we should just be our own super hero (exercising whatever powers...hopefully for good rather than evil... that we may possess). Today's episode also features the lovely, transcendent "I'll Get Over It" by Madeline Kenney, Oakland-based singer/songwriter. This song feels like a space-ship trip to a planet of getting over something and gaining new understanding in the process. Listen in stars (heroes).

Helllllo stars. Welcome back to the pod. I'm back after a holiday respite! Today I'm tuning in from a COVID quarantine with my housemates Cesar Pinzon and Ian Bourn. We've been isolated, stars, so you'll note that we were feeling goofy. In this Yuletide episode, you'll hear us play a Christmas "who am I" game, reflect on Christmas memories--both light and dark--and finish the episode with a reading of the classic Christmas tale "The Gift of the Magi". Throughout the episode, you'll hear the song Home Alone by Heatmaps, which does wonders to parallel the conflicted emotions we all share about the holidays.

In this life, we are constantly saying goodbye to things and saying hello to new things. Seasons of change can be difficult, but they certainly offer opportunities for personal and creative growth. In today's episode, I sat down with Seattle-based instrumentalist, B.J. Choe to discuss his new single Silver Lining, his old EP 205 to 206, and the accompanying stories which inspired these projects. You'll hear themes regarding changing selves, inspired creativity and shedding old things. This conversation was so relevant and so inspired, listen in stars, I hope you enjoy.

Turns out we all need to hear a sad song every now and again. You'll hear about this and more from Seattle-based singer/songwriter/multi-creative Claire Conway whose Pisces energy is apparent in her emotive, watery approach to songwriting. We sat down to discuss her new 5-song EP, Be Good, which features songs on themes of loss, heartbreak and healing. In a time when it can be difficult to admit "I Don't Wanna Be Alone" (the second track on Be Good), I appreciated Claire's honesty and grace in reflecting on loneliness and heartbreak, which are universal experiences.

TRIGGER WARNING: Issues of violence against Indigenous people, addiction, and mental illness. In today's episode, I caught up with my friend Misty Rose, who is a blossoming Nurse and the creator of an event at Seattle University called "Honoring Indigenous Voices". In this conversation, you'll hear about what inspired Misty to create this event where three Indigenous panelists will lead a discussion on Intergenerational Trauma existing in Indigenous Communities specifically due to mandated residential schools. It was an honor to have this conversation with Misty and I encourage you to listen with thoughtfulness and care. We also feature the song "Child of the Government" by Jayli Wolf, which depicts the story of loss and cultural erasure experienced by so many Indigenous people.

Trigger Warning// This episode contains conversation on mental illness including depression, suicide and suicidal ideation. Please be kind to yourself while listening and reach out to a friend, me or the crisis line if you need it: 866-427-4747 What the hell is up? W$LF SHIT -- that's what's up. That is, Seattle-based rapper L$P who's churning out soul-vibing, beat-crushing rap tunes like none other. I met Papi over the summer and had the privilege to sit down and talk with her about her latest EP, Den Music, which takes listeners on a journey of self-healing, community and triumph. As a Black, masculine-presenting queer woman, L$P defies expectations of how to exist in the world. She's taken experiences of battling depression and facing oppression and created a musical experience for those seeking healing and solidarity. She has a powerful message about self-preservation for all to hear who are willing to listen. In my cozy home studio, we chatted about her music, life and what it means to "fuck up the city and call it a vibe". Listen in, stars.

What the hell is up? THAT is the question. AND the answer. And in today's episode you'll hear both from the lovely and inspiring Elyse Lankford, a friend and fellow alum of Seattle Pacific. Elyse shares her story becoming a tour manager for local bands Pedro the Lion and Great Grandpa and managing for Ian Sweet. Elyse has a way of following her passions while still caring for herself in the process which became imperative as she navigated the Seattle indie music scene after a new diagnosis of Celiac disease. She still manages to live off the music, baby, and will continue to grace Seattle with a fan girl spirit, which I keenly understand. Listen to the end for a BEAUTIFUL gem of a song by local artist Pickle Boy called Lieu Print 060918.

Hello lovelies! What the hell is up? Today I share with you...bonus episode ONE. This is a shorter episode which will emerge every other week in between interview episodes. When I first started making this podcast, my process was cathartic and self-reflective. A lot has changed in my life recently and the need to connect with myself has been strong--WHAT better way to do that then sharing it audibly with you all (LOL)!! Okay, but seriously, I hope that these bonus episodes can provide more of my personal story driving the artistic conversations. May these episodes also inspire care of self and provide some brief meditative words from my own daily practices. Today's episode features words from Thich Nhat Hanh's "No Mud, No Lotus" and "How to Love".

What the hell is up? Today's episode features Cotto, a Seattle-based producer who works at Studio Sage. We sat down to discuss his beats, production work and what it's like to work at Sage. Against the backdrop of his album Sounds by Cotto, you'll hear his story and--along the way-- our random-ass, giggle-laden thoughts about music and art. Of all the artists I've met, I don't think I've ever met someone as obsessed with their craft as Cotto. Not only are his beats absolute fire, but his commitment to creating will take him to ridiculous places. I had so much fun creating this episode, in part because the vibe of Cotto's beats have been comforting and inspiring to me throughout my summer. At the end of the episode, you'll hear an unnamed song by Cotto, Afterspace and Chase Rabideau and another song by Sablo, produced by Cotto. Thank YOU for listening, blessings always, Clairey Check out Cotto on instagram: @beatsbycotto and on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/cotto999 Check out Afterspace on soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/afterspace Check out Sablo on instagram: @sablomusic Check out Chase on instagram: @chaserabideaumusic Recorded at Studio Sage https://www.studio-sage.com/ Podcast art by Sarah Day --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

What the hell is up? Today's episode features Joe August, a musician and music therapist, in a conversation we had back in May. I wanted to ask him "what the hell is up with being a rock star and a music therapist?!". In other words, I was curious about Joe's relationship with independent artistry and healing work. During the episode, we discussed his upcoming full length album "Modern Sound of Quiet" which came out on July 6th and features the singles Lotus Flower and Next Year. Joe and I discussed his musical influences, inspiration, and the meaning he finds in providing music therapy as a healing modality for the clients he works with. With classic 60s psych-rock influences and themes of finding stillness in the overall chaos of media which we often experience, his new album absolutely grooves. In this episode, you'll hear the songs Paradise (with Afterspace), M.S.Q., Lotus Flower (with Chase Rabideau) and Fool For You (with Alec Shaw & Zan Fiskum). I was inspired by Joe's attention to cultivating connection through music across time and I know you will be too, so listen in friends!

In today's episode, I sat down with Michaela Banks, creator of Sweet Sweet Justice -- a weekly cake auction where all proceeds go to organizations working toward racial justice. While first inspired by Michaela's ability to gracefully combine her passion and purpose while also working as a Registered Nurse, I walked away feeling inspired by the idea of participating in anti-racist work in an embodied way. We talked about ally-ship as white women and about some of the nuances of her experience operating this platform--we're diving deep today friends! AND talking about cake! In today's episode you'll hear the song Mercy by Marshall Law Band, which is a Seattle-based Funk-Hop band led by Marshall Hugh and backed by a 5-piece band. The Marshall Law Band could be seen creating empowered vibes during the BLM protests of 2020 and they continue to grace Seattle with loving and hopping tunes at outdoor concerts throughout the summer at "Fremont Friday's".

Featuring Lex Ramirez and the song CAREFREE by Joe August & Heather Chelan feat. Betty Michaels, season two starts off with a bop, as we discuss what the hell is up with the Seattle-based Drop Squad! In today's episode, I sat down with Lex, leader of the Hip Hop crew Drop Squad; we discuss her story, her perspectives on dance as a means of building community and offering a space for healing. We also touch on the importance of naming the origins of Hip Hop and keeping the art form accessible because dance is meant to be for everyone!!

We talk about what it means to be a Witch, Callie's role as an emotional support Witch and making meaning in 2020--a year of "oops!! all towers". We also go on a few rather Witchy tangents… mentioning mug wort, tarot, honey comb cakes, faith, The Craft, and more. Listen into the magic, friends.
