Chris and Xuan join the pod to discuss artistic serendipity, co-writing, unexpected choices, and how recording choices inform genre. Veronicavon, the brainchild of songwriters Chris Hackman (Human Barbie) and Xuan Nguyen (Xuan), emerged in 2020 with a (secret) mission to explore uncharted horizons in lo-fi pop. Their universe of grainy synths, cassette-drenched drums, and warbling guitars, complemented by Nguyen's enchanting vocals, creates a wistful, playful, and instantly addictive dreamscape. Flood Magazine dubbed them "casually devastating," and their hypnotic bedroom aesthetic quickly garnered a passionate audience, with over 500k streams on Spotify in their first year. They've been featured on editorial playlists like ‘Fresh Finds', ‘Borderless', and ‘Fuzzy'. Keep a close eye on this duo, as they follow in the footsteps of alt-pop icons Men I Trust, Alvvays, and Japanese Breakfast. Human Barbie, an analog fantasy formed in 2018 by songwriter Christopher Leopold, weaves wistful pop, shoegaze, and psychedelia into a melancholy glowscape. Their debut album ‘Get a Life' (Poor Man Records, 2020) explores personal heartbreak through psychedelic pop, meticulously recorded on vintage equipment. ‘Get a Life' received acclaim from fans and critics, featuring in Brooklyn Vegan, BIRP!, Indie Shuffle, KCRW, Buzzbands.la, and Spotify playlists like Undercurrents, IRL ANGEL, and Fresh Finds. The album was a top seller on Bandcamp, with songs used in commercials, including a Facebook radio ad and DISCO's 2022 SXSW mixtape. Inspired by its success, Leopold crafted the patient and expansive EP ‘no worries' in a Baltimore warehouse, channeling 90's-era shoegaze nostalgia.

For most of us this year has been one of the worst years of our lives. It took away so many of the things that we took for granted, like the ability to see live music, drink beers with our friends at our favorite watering holes, and in some cases, toilet paper. But one thing this year did not take away, could not take away, was the Blue Island Radio Podcast’s annual Seinfeld episode! This year, for your listening pleasure, the Blue Island Radio Podcast Players present a dramatic reading of SEINFELD: THE PICK - season 4, Episode 13. I hope you enjoy the listening to the show as much as we enjoyed recording it. Thank you for listening and happy holidays for whatever it is you celebrate.
