Podcast appearances and mentions of ian vanek

Humor and the Abject has a special treat for all you screedlers out there: an interview with Japanther co-founder Ian Vanek. He’s about to release “Puppy Dog Ice Cream,” a new book all about Japanther’s 13-year run, published by Outlandish Press. We talked about buzzing, vibing, and dancing; Brooklyn DIY in the mid-00s; one-man motorcycle/sampler tours; the rainy charm of the Pacific Northwest; blissing the fuck out; playing a show in a castle with Penny Rimbaud of Crass (who bit them); how to make your band a sculpture, and a whole lot more. The outro music is Ian’s current band HOWARDIAN, reworking a Genesis classic.

       We listened to the song "All we got is each other" by Japanther off Instant Money Magic, which Matt figured out is actually a cover of a Ghost Mice song (not according to Discogs. -ed) Crazy. Support each other, DIY, everything is punk rock, be cool, cooperation not competition. Be a new kind of 2019 hippy. Can that word come back and be punk rock? Japanther you are the NYC we will always miss. They played at the Whitney Museum for god sakes.

[Ian Vanek](https://twitter.com/Japanther) spent 13 years in the art project duo Japanther. He's currently touring the country by himself on a dirt bike as part of his new project [Howardian](http://ianvanek.com/). We talked about the challenges of solo motorcycle touring, frosted weed milkshakes, and why Japanther called itself an art project instead of a band.

This week we take a look at newly-elected NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio with City & State’s Aaron Short, and later we’re joined by photographer Tod Seelie and Ian Vanek of Japanther to discuss Tod’s new book, Bright Nights.
