Today’s Peoples Bank Let’s Talk Indianola features Bob Kling about the 2025 Indianola Art Festival.

Hello, music lovers!  Welcome to Why Music Matters, a podcast where we examine the power and influence that music can wield in our lives.  I'm your host, Jeff Miers. On today's episode, we're celebrating the Goo Goo Dolls, and in particular, the 30th anniversary of their mainstream breakthrough album, A Boy Named Goo.  Though the band had already been around for a decade by the time they released this album, which would go on to reach double platinum sales status, A Boy Named Goo pushed the band over the edge, largely on the strength of the timeless hit, Name.  This summer, the band is on the road, co-headlining the Summer Anthem Tour, alongside Dashboard Confessional. That tour hits KeyBank Center in Buffalo on August 9 - nearly 30 years after the Goos played the very first show in what was then known as Marine Midland Arena, on September 21, 1996.  I caught up with Goos co-founder and bassist Robby Takac from the road, a few days into the Summer Anthem Tour, and we talked about A Boy Named Goo; the new generation of Goo Goo Dolls fans who discovered the band through social media outlets; the level of excitement surrounding this summer's shows; his upcoming Music is Art Festival - which takes place in and around the Terminal B Amphitheater on Buffalo's Outer Harbor on Saturday, September 20 - and the whole long, strange, and largely wonderful trip that has led the Goo Goo Dolls from the stages of Buffalo clubs to the arenas of the world.  Welcome back to Why Music Matters, Robby Takac!  Produced by 678Main Studio and Creative Services https://678main.com

Jedne z najbardziej pamiętnych koncertów na tegorocznym SLOT Art Festivalu miały miejsce na kameralnej, ulokowanej w festiwalowym lumpeksie Scenie Nowej. Właśnie tam w środę zagrały Szklane Oczy: post-punkowe trio z silnym rysem romantycznym. Sebastian Rogalski porozmawiał z gitarzystką i wokalistką Anią Grąbczyńską oraz basistką Agnieszką Nogą o muzyce, tekstach, niesamowitej Słowiańszczyźnie i... polskim gamedevie.https://szklaneoczy.bandcamp.com/

Zygmunt Pauker Trio – to kwartet. Nie gra w nim także perkusista Zygmunt. Młoda śląsko-zagłebiowsko-krakowska grupa w składzie: Ida Zielińska (wokal), Klara Liszka (klawisz), Szymon Jarzmus (Bas), Artur Kuś (perkusja) bawią się formą i treścią. Oscylują wokół muzyki około-jazzowej. W ich muzyce imponuje szczera emocja, lekkość, ramotkowość. O początkach, nazwie, improwizacji i brzmieniu kwartetu rozmawiał Filip Juszczak.

Bądź silny, by być pomocnym! - to hasło przewodnie Igora Bilinskyiego. Tworzył podczas SlotART Festiwalu warsztaty ruchu naturalnego, gdzie ukierunkowywał uczestników na bardziej holistyczne podejście do aktywności fizycznej. W rozmowie z Grześkiem Dukaczewskim opowiada o swoim festiwalowym debiucie, oraz o tym jakie małe kroki możemy stawiać, aby stopniowo poprawiać swoje samopoczucie.

To był prawdziwy Freak Show. Karolina Czarnecka pokazała w piątkowy wieczór na Scenie Dużej cały warsztat swoich aktorskich, wokalnych i tanecznych umiejętności. Perfekcyjna dykcja, charyzma, znakomity głos - jej warsztat jest kompletny. Gdy dołoży się do tego kilkunastoletnie już doświadczenie w profesjonalnych występach artystycznych, otrzyma się prawdziwe zwierzę sceniczne. Możecie się o tym przekonać już we wrześniu, gdy zawita do Wrocławia w ramach trasy koncertowejW rozmowie z Michałem Lachem Karolina opowiedziała o fascynujących, ludowych korzeniach w jej muzyce, dlaczego ma ogromny sentyment do Slot Art Festivalu oraz jak po latach odnosi się do szaleństwa wokół Hera, koka, hasz, LSD

O trwających przez cały czas trwania festiwalu pisaliśmy cyklu już w naszej pierwszej relacji (dzień 0 link), warto jednak poznać jeszcze bliżej stojący za nim pomysł i ludzi. Daniel Orkisz i Dagna Juszkiewicz w trakcie Slot Art Festivalu prezentują codziennie nieoczywiste połączenia muzyczne, których można doświadczyć w zaciemnionej piwnicy lubiąskiego molocha. W rozmowie z Michałem Lachem opowiedzieli o założeniach Odsłuchów W Ciemności, jak połączyli ze sobą średniowieczną rock operę ze ścieżką dźwiękową z anime oraz dlaczego soundtrack z Minecrafta powinien kiedyś wybrzmieć w ramach ich projektu.

Kuba Więcek to bardzo zajęty człowiek. W tym roku przypadła mu zaszczytna rola dyrektora artystycznego festiwalu WroSound, który odbędzie się już w przyszłym tygodniu. Wraz z zespołem hoshii i zaproszonymi gośćmi zaprezentuje tam koncertową wersję projektu Hoshii sessions. Więcej możecie przeczytać o nim *tutaj* W rozmowie z Jędrzejem Śmiałowskim oraz Michałem Lachem opowiedział o powodach jego silnej fascynacji muzyką elektroniczną, czy saksofon jest dla niego centrum kompozycji, czy jedynie narzędziem oraz zapowiedział nadchodzący WroSound

OG Wroclawskiej sceny rave'owej, w rozmowie z Grześkiem Dukaczewskim opowiedział o swojej roli w rozwoju sceny klubowej Slot Art Festiwalu, o jego wyjątkowym sposobie wybierania muzyki i organizacji undergroundowych rave'ów z ekipą Prywatka.

Koncert ODRA SOUND DESIGN to wielowymiarowa, dźwiękowa podróż, której inspiracją jest siła rzeki. Za pomocą muzyki i nagrań dźwiękowych zabiera słuchacza w intymny świat rzeki, mgieł i tętniącej życiem dzikiej przyrody. Michał Zygmunt precyzyjnie łączy dźwięki natury z elektroniką i ambientowymi barwami gitar, oscyluje pomiędzy gitarowym transem a generowaną na żywo elektroniką. Rytm i program koncertu stanowią obraz fascynacji artysty dźwiękiem — od poszukiwań w rodzimych, tradycyjnych źródłach poprzez akustyczne inspiracje muzyką świata po ambientowe i transowe rytmy, pełne przestrzennych barw i subtelnej elektroniki.Michał Zygmunt – muzyk, twórca muzyki, autor profesjonalnych nagrań terenowych przyrody. Autor kilkudziesięciu płyt i wydawnictw, współautor inicjatyw takich jak Odra Sound Design, Dźwiękowy Szlak Odry – złożony z soczewek akustycznych służących słuchaniu – oraz serii instrumentów Odra Guitars. Bohater filmów dokumentalnych: Przynoszę Ci Dzikość Dyby Lach, Do ostatniej kropli Ewy Ewart oraz Wodra Ewy Dobrołowicz.

On this edition of Score Values Alex Kuhn chats with 3x Paralympic Athlete Jessica Heims ahead of the GLASA Great Lakes Games & Marcy Huttas, Executive Director of the Old Town Merchant Residents Association about the upcoming Wells Street Art Festival.

En parallèle de notre courte interview du grand John Romita Jr., c'est un autre géant de la bande dessinée américaine que nous avons pu rencontrer à la dernière édition du Lake Como Comic Art Festival : l'immense Bill Sienkiewicz, par ailleurs créateur du design du logo du salon. Le dessinateur vedette était très occupé tout le weekend - malgré ses tarifs de signatures quelque peu prohibitifs, mais nous avons tout de même réussi à lui prendre une vingtaine de minutes le dimanche, alors que tout le monde rangeait ses affaires, et que Bill lui-même savourait une coupe de champagne. Une interview un peu "brute" sur la forme, mais qui n'en reste pas moins intéressante sur le fond !Bill Sienkiewicz est sur First Print !L'artiste qui a réinventé l'art de faire des comics depuis les New Mutants n'a jamais cessé de dessiner, et est même passé faire preuve de son talent dans d'autres univers artistiques, que ce soit la musique ou le cinéma. Avec le peu de temps dont nous disposions, nous avons essayé de brosser un léger portrait de l'artiste, avec ses préoccupations actuelles sur le monde du dessin (pensez IA) et ses envies de bande dessinée pour ce qui seront les dernières années d'une très belle carrière. On est ravis de vous proposer cette interview, que vous pourrez également retrouver en français et à l'écrit sur Comicsblog.fr.Si vous appréciez le travail effectué avec ces podcasts, vous pouvez le faire savoir en parlant du podcast autour de vous, en commentant sur nos plateformes ou sur notre site, en rejoignant notre communauté sur Discord, et en nous soutenant sur notre Tipee !

Parmi les grands pontes de la bande dessinée américaine qu'on a essayé d'interviewer pendant pas mal de temps sans jamais réussir, John Romita Jr. est sûrement parmi les plus difficiles d'accès... du moins, par les voies traditionnelles - soit en attendant sa présence en France sur un festival ou une dédicace, où à chaque fois on nous expliquait que l'artiste était trop occupé et préférait consacrer son temps à autre chose qu'à des interviews. Mais le dessinateur était présent aussi ce printemps au Lake Como Comic Art Festival, et au vu du contexte particulièrement détendu du festival, on s'est dit qu'on ne perdrait rien à tenter une (petite) interview directement à la table de l'artiste... et miracle, c'est bien ce qu'il s'est passé !John Romita Jr. est sur First Print !Nous avons donc le plaisir de vous présenter cette courte interview de John Romita Jr. ou nous avons tenté de faire du mieux sur le peu de temps que nous avions pour lui poser des question qui seraient pertinentes. Sans pouvoir retracer l'entièreté de sa carrière, nous avons voulu revenir sur sa forme actuelle, son envie de continue de dessiner des pages intérieures alors qu'avec son statut, il pourrait faire comme d'autres de ses collègues et se contenter de couvertures ou de commissions. A priori, John Romita Jr. a plutôt apprécié les questions posées ! Une version écrite en français de cette interview est également à retrouver sur Comicsblog.fr si vous préférez ce format.Si vous appréciez tout le travail fourni sur First Print et que vous souhaitez soutenir le podcast, n'hésitez pas à partager cette interview, à commenter ou vous le pouvez, et à nous soutenir également via notre Tipeee afin que l'on puisse poursuivre cette grande aventure qu'est First Print sur le temps le plus long possible !

Longtime listeners will know that when it comes to comic-cons and arts festivals, we're always down. But for this week's guest, we're not headed to Boston or New York City—we're going to Italy to get a closer look at the Lake Como Comic and Arts Festival, which takes place May 16-18.  Steve Morger, the co-founder of the festival, talks with us about how this unique event got its start and the growth he's seen over the years. We hear about some of the guests, Steve's personal favorites and what he enjoys the most about this comic-con by the lake. The location of the festival— the historic Villa Erba in Cernobbio, Lake Como Italy—is perhaps the best part, and Steve shares how he found the place and why it's remained their home all these years.

According to a September 2023 Pew Research Center survey, more than one in five Black adults in the United States believe that owning a business is essential for achieving financial success. Although Black-owned businesses have experienced significant growth in recent years, they still represent a small percentage of overall firms and revenue in the U.S., based on our analysis of federal data.   In 2021, majority Black-owned businesses accounted for only about 3% of all U.S. firms that could be classified by the race and ethnicity of their owners. These businesses generated just 1% of the total gross revenue from all classifiable companies that year, while roughly 14% of the American population identified as Black.   In 2021, Black or African American majority-owned firms provided income for approximately 1.4 million workers, with estimated annual payrolls of $53.6 billion. However, most Black-owned firms tend to be smaller enterprises. Two-thirds of these businesses had fewer than 10 employees, 13% had between 10 and 49 employees, and only 3% had 50 or more employees. Additionally, 16% reported having no employees at all (employment size is determined by the number of paid workers during the March 12 pay period according to the ABS).   Arias WebsterBerry is a seasoned entrepreneur, digital marketing expert, and certified Scrum Master with over a decade of experience. He is the founder of WebsterBerry Marketing, an agency that redefines digital marketing, and Ignite Funnels, a platform dedicated to accelerating business growth.

This festival celebrated artistic achievements and embraced Hip-Hop culture through music, art, and lyrics, earning Arias a commendation from the Los Angeles City Council for his exceptional contributions to the arts.   Arias's journey is characterized by a dedication to excellence and a commitment to helping businesses thrive.

Artist and academic Sequoia Danielle Barnes redresses the ugly side of kitsch and ‘cute' toy cultures, telling histories of trickster rabbits from Peter Rabbit to Bugs Bunny, appropriated from Black Southern American folklore from the 16th century to now. With ceramics, fabrics, and super sticky slugs, Sequoia Danielle Barnes' new installation is an Afro-surrealist retelling of Br'er Rabbit and the Tar Baby, a folktale developed by her enslaved ancestors after being ripped from Africa and displaced in Alabama, in the United States - the place she grew up before pursuing her practice in ‘transatlantic' institutions. Here, stories about figures like Uncle Remus, Uncle Ben, and Aunt Jemima, often first told as a means of action guidance for outsmarting slavemasters, were mainstreamed into 20th century pop art and cultures. Sequoia's exhibition takes its title from the 1946 film, Song of the South, a nostalgic representation of the antebellum, pre-Confederate South, revealing how ‘cuteness' masks anti-Black racist tropes and propaganda. We discuss how popular consumption of Western/European films, TV adverts, and commercials can perpetuate forms of oppression and marginalisation, including racialisation, infantilism, violence, and the cannibalisation of enslaved peoples. Sequoia tells of her interest in ‘Tellytubby lore', how children's cartoons and animations can sustain critical traditions of surrealism, and why younger people more readily engage with her work than adults. From her creepy and uncanny collectibles, we discuss why major institutions protect and preserve golliwogs, golly, and ‘piccaninny' dolls, and Sequoia's ‘Black radical art practice' in spaces like CCA Glasgow, Fruitmarket, and the National Museum of Scotland. Sequoia shares her subversive influences from the Black diaspora, including Faith Ringgold, Betye Saars, Robert Colescott,and Eddie Chambers. With Theaster Gates, Patrick Kelly, Joe Casely-Hayford,, we explore Afrofuturism, and find entanglements in their own practice, between works with textiles, fashion, and pottery. Beneath the dark humour and sweet surfaces of their works, Sequoia speaks of connections between contemporary consumption and capitalism, and historic sugar cane plantations. exposing how legacies of colonialism, slavery, and global trade still shape society today. Sequoia Danielle Barnes: Everything Is Satisfactual runs at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop until 28 August 2024. The exhibition is part of Edinburgh Art Festival (EAF) 2024, which continues in Scotland until 25 August 2024.
