I had Jared Chavez on the podcast a silversmith I carry and a person that I really respect as an artist. His father San Felipe silversmith Richard Chavez who I started buying his work 20 years ago whose work graces numerous museum collections. Father and son have done collaborative work but their styles are different and very unique. Jared experienced an interesting upbringing in that he's a San Felipe kid that ends up going to Georgetown for his undergraduate BFA, later working in San Francisco learning new jewelry techniques. Jared has brought all of this together, his education, work experience, heritage, to form his own unique aesthetic. We talk about his art and about how he got where he is today, and of course about his famous father that recently had a major retrospective at the Heard Museum. This podcast is for anyone that likes Native American jewelry or likes to see how a person can succeed and become a well-known jewelry artist. I don't think Jared would think of himself as famous, but in my eyes, he fits the description of success at a high level. He's part of a new generation of New Mexico artists and I'm excited to see what's in store for Jared's bright future.
I had Kim Peone on the podcast today who is the newest Executive Director of the non-profit organization SWAIA (Southwestern Association For Indian Arts). Every year SWAIA's banner event the Santa Fe Indian Market brings in millions of dollars for Native artisans and acts as a huge boost for the local economy. The event is always in the third week of August and I myself have had the privilege of attending for the past 30 years. Well, this year the event got canceled. For the first time in 99 years, there will be no Indian Market on the Plaza due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. You can imagine the chaos Kim has had to deal with since taking her current position in April. Regardless, Kim and I had this wonderful interview. She speaks on her early years having grown up with two different tribal backgrounds (Colville and Eastern Cherokee) and the road that ultimately led her to Santa Fe. This is a terrific interview and Kim is clearly going to do an exceptional job as Executive Director. There's going to be a virtual Indian Market event held August 1st - 31st. More information can be found on SWAIA's website SWAIA.org.

Long-time Native American art dealer Chris Selser sits down with Dr. Mark Sublette during Indian Market in Santa Fe to reflect on 50 years of being involved in the Antique Native Arts industry. Selser discusses his upbringing and how several key events changed his trajectory into becoming an expert in Navajo weavings and jewelry. We hear about the romanticizing of Woodstock, the proliferation of Native jewelry into the New York department stores in the 1970s. Chris discusses his 1981 New York City Native American Art Gallery and it's demise from the 1982 recession. Chris now is focusing not only on Indian art but as a farmer in the Santa Fe area.
Jim Jeter Native American dealer shares his amazing life story of forgery, war and redemption in the second episode of a two-part interview with Dr. Mark SubletteWell respected antique Indian Arts dealer Jim Jeter tells the story of his love of Native American art and Hispanic weavings. The son of a well-known actor James Jeter was raised in Southern California when a single arrowhead sparked the love of antique Indian art. Jim shares the intimate story about how he became a specialist in antique Indian jewelry and how this gift lead him down the road of forgery and forgiveness.

Started things off this week with a bangin' track off the new Oneida, and I do mean bangin'. Upon first listen, Brownout In Lagos sounds like it coulda' come off last year's dubby dancehall record by the Bug. Anyone let down by the loose kraut explorations on Oneida's record from last year, 'Preteen Weaponry' (the opener in the 'Thank Your Parents' trilogy), will be pleasantly surprised. Though the triple LP does have some sitar-drenched kosmiche, Oneida still find the time to rock it like it's 1999.Brand new cassette (now sold out from the source) by France's High Wolf shows a brand new talent in the burgeoning cosmic-beach-world-psych genre. The man has played shows with Sun Araw, so you know he's in good company. He's also started a label called Winged Sun, which released the now-out-of-print debut cassette and CDR. Big things to come... In the meantime, you can snatch up the NNF cassette here, the Winged Sun cassette here, and the CDR here.Came across a gnarly Big Black-styled band thanks to one of my favorite blogs, Still Single. A self-released 7"/CDR (order now!) has just been unleashed and it's pretty crushing. Definitely heavy on the Big Black, but much more blown out and textured, almost black metal styles at times. Required listening!Just got the last batch of Goaty cassettes in the mail last week and Zully Adler (the NYC'er behind the label) has really upped the ante on the new batch. Thick cardstock sleeve, tons of inserts and other little goodies dropped inside make for some of the better packaging coming from the cassette underground right now. He's also managed to rope in some great, unheralded artists, including Bone Patrol, which is a collab between Dead Luke and Aaron from Peaking Lights. Nice meandering lo-fi psych drools. The flip of that cassette is Dead Luke going at it solo under the moniker Varlet Tarsod. Again, fans of Sun Araw et. al need to snatch up a copy! (drop a comment below to cop one from yours truly...)New CDR from my main man in Connect_icut, Sam Macklin, was handed off last weekend and it's turned out to be one of the best things I've heard pried from the man's fingertips. The track I played on the show, Sea Bells On Sunday, is based around the opening of the Velvet Underground's Sunday Morning! Absolutely gorgeous...drop the man a line for a copy.Coupla' shows worth mentioning...Kris from Twee Death, Empress, Jeffrey Allport and Light Industry (NYC) present a night of experimental film and music. Check the Twee Death site for more info. This one is tonight and starts around 8pm. See you there...Also, Sex Negatives will be playing with Damo Suzuki this Saturday on the 8th at the Biltmore. Should be an interesting Sex Negatives set with Keith and Justin out of the city for the time being. Apparently Brody has lined up some guest musicians. Defektors are opening, and I really can't wait to see them again after they killed it last night at Pat's pub, where they played with Detroit's Frustrations.That's it for this week.Download this week's episode here.
