John catches up with Bob Vylan and producer Jonny Breakwell to talk about how they wrote, recorded and produced the ‘Humble As The Sun'. Bob Vylan, a grime and punk rock duo who emerged in 2017. Despite facing resistance for their provocative themes on racism and inequality, they gained a loyal following. Their albums, 2020's ‘We Live Here' and 2022's ‘Bob Vylan Presents the Price of Life' earned critical acclaim, and saw the duo win Best Alternative Act at the MOBO Awards. Their latest, ‘Humble as the Sun,' sees the duo flex their musical muscles, drawing on soul, drill, and punk, brought together with their trademark intensity. Chatting in Miloco's The Pool Studio, where some of the album was recorded, the conversation includes insights into navigating the independent artist landscape and the pivotal moments balancing personal and musical life. The pair also reflect on the process of refining Bobby's initial demos into polished tracks, exploring the production techniques that enhance the depth and character of the band's sound. Tracks discussed: Humble As The Sun, Reign, Makes Me Violent TAPE IT Thanks to our friends at Tape It for supporting the podcast.

#OralSex #Head Join us aw we discuss oral sex and how it has become a hazard to the community. Certainly, the risk of acquiring an STI through engagement in oral sex is substantially less than for other sexual behaviors (e.g., vaginal or anal intercourse). However, recent reviews have suggested that oral sex is a viable and perhaps significant mode of transmission for several bacterial and viral infections, including gonorrhea, herpes, and chlamydia. The rate of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among adolescents is increasing at an unprecedented rate. Currently, over three million American teenagers become infected with one or more STIs each year (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2000), including both bacterial (e.g., gonorrhea, chlamydia) and viral infections (e.g., herpes, HIV). Recent concern has focused on noncoital sexual behaviors that may pose a risk for STIs among adolescents. For instance, public attention has focused on the surprisingly high percentage of high school adolescents (i.e., grades 9 through 12) who report engagement in oral sex. Although the topic is rarely investigated empirically, extant data suggest that approximately 33%–59% of high school teens and, more specifically, 7%– 24% of adolescent virgins report that they have either given or received oral sex (Breakwell & Fife-Schaw, 1992; Gates & Sonenstein, 2000; Haas, 1979; Newcomer & Udry, 1985; Schuster, Bell, & Kanouse, 1996). Yet little is known about adolescents' potential for contracting an STI by engaging in oral sex or about psychological factors that may influence adolescents' decision to engage in this type of behavior. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/realblackforum/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/realblackforum/support
