In this holiday episode, our friend Corin Tucker from Sleater-Kinney tells about the time she and bandmates Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss reluctantly abandoned their punk instincts and wrapped "gifts" for an uncomfortably phony photo shoot. Then host Alex Hofmann returns to a Christmas past when Radiohead flew him to their post-Pablo Honey holiday party in England...and Ed O'Brien had to nurse him back to health.

Quasi - Doomscrollers from the 2023 album Breaking the Balls of History on Sub Pop. "Doomscrollers" is a new single from the indie rock duo Quasi, the project of former partners Sam Coomes and Janet Weiss, off their upcoming album Breaking The Balls Of History which is set to be released in February and is their first full-length in a decade. The song is a commentary on the modern phenomenon of doomscrolling, where people compulsively consume negative news and social media, leading to feelings of anxiety and despair. The lyrics of the song also touch on themes of addiction and isolation, painting a bleak yet relatable portrait of the 21st century. The song opens with a punchy guitar riff, and Coomes's lyrics paint a picture of the current state of society, of people sleeping in their cars, teenage TikTok stars, and everyone baking bread, doomscrolling, and going out of their heads. Weiss, famed former Sleater-Kinney drummer, adds an upbeat, energetic feel to the song that belies the dark lyricism. The lyrics of the song are relatable and dig right into the anxieties of our divisive, COVID-contorted culture. The music video for the song is directed by B.A. Miale and is visually striking, taking Weiss and Coomes into psychedelic territory, facing death, the apocalypse, pies, penguins, and more.

Slang - Chipped Tooth from the 2022 album Cockroach In A Ghost Town on Kill Rock Stars. In one of the most ultimate Northwest powergroup collaborations to come in recent history, Slang seemingly appeared out of nowhere. In fact, Drew Grow and Janet Weiss (the latter needing no introduction and Grow being a IYKYK frontman of Modern Kin and the Pastors' Wives and in-demand producer) have been slowly working on Slang for over a decade. Bringing with them a bevy of notable names for their first record Cockroach In a Ghost Town, including Kathy Foster (Roseblood, The Thermals) on bass and Anita Lee Elliot (Viva Voce) as well as appearances from Sam Coomes (Quasi), Stephen Malkmus (Pavement), and Mary Timony (Helium, Ex Hex, Wild Flag), it's a who's who of the Northwest Gen X scene. Our Song of the Day, “Chipped Tooth,” is an existentialist viewpoint of examining all the rough edges of yourself - be it your ragged brain, running wild with thoughts that slip into darkness quicker than you'd like, or the jagged points of a chipped tooth - always existing but not always noticeable until it's the only part of you that you can think about. “I think it's more our mutual appreciation of music that grabs you and grabs hold and shakes you to the core,” explained Weiss to KEXP's Eva Walker during their in-studio recorded in July. “I think we feel like this band has that potential to kind of get inside a person a give them strength and hope and just a joie de vive. Things get really hard and I feel like music is our saving grace so we all kind of look to music to lift us up.” Watch said in-studio and read the full post at KEXP.org.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Janet Weiss of way more bands than I can mention here joins the podcast. She's here to talk about her latest release, Cockroach In A Ghost Town by her band, Slang. But we go back to find out how that band came to be. We start with her playing guitar, NOT drums. But once she did find drums, it was an instant connection. It was so obvious that everyone else felt it, too. Janet talks about how many lessons she took before joining a band and opening for The Flaming Lips! She also explains her move to Portland, starting a few other bands, like Quasi, who ended up being Elliot Smith's band for a bit. We also talk about joining Sleater-Kinney, her terrible car accident that could have spelled the end of her career. But she had an incredible support system of family, friends, & fans that kept her recovery on track. We do talk about Slang's album, how things have changed from a duo doing covers to a full band. And we wrap up on our mutual love of the automobile.Give the band a follow on Facebook, check out @theeslang on Instagram and @realslang on twitter. Follow us @PerformanceAnx on twitter & instagram. You can help us out through ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety or performanceanx.threadless.com for merch. Now let's get right into the show with Janet Weiss of Slang on Performance Anxiety, part of the Pantheon Podcast Network.

“I've always been in more than one band,” Janet Weiss notes. Even during the nearly two-and-a-half decades she spent as one-third of Sleater Kinney, she's kept busy. Since 1993, she's been half of Quasi and had overlapping stints with Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks and Wild Flag – to make no mention of the albums she's performed for indie rock darlings like The Shins and Bright Eyes. When we sat down to speak, she was prepping for a joint tour as Quasi and the drummer for Jon Spencer's latest project, the Hitmakers. The shows coincide with the release of Cockroach In A Small Town, the debut LP from Slang, a project that also features Drew Grow, Kathy Foster and Anita Lee Elliot. It's a lot, all at once, but after rehabbing from a serious car accident, followed by a two-year pandemic fueled hiatus, Weiss is more than ready to get back at it.

Janet Weiss is a drummer, multi-instrumentalist and all around stand-up rock n roll human from Portland, Oregon.  In this episode Janet shares her experience making the new Quasi  and why it was important to be in  "touring shape" prior to going into the studio.   Joe and Janet discuss how her recovery from a serious car accident may have prepped her for the involuntary touring break most musicians have endured and how's she's put her "doer" personality into practice in order to feel good, or at the very least, not feel bad.  Naturally, the two drummers talk Get Back, Ringo, Neil Peart, Stella Mazgowa and why too many peacocks in one band is a bad idea.   Another thing that Joe and Janet have in common is their love for cars. You'll hear about a few of Janets favorite cars, what she prefers to tour in and why.  New Segment alert!   Borrowing from Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, Joe and Janet play Drummers In Their Favorite Cars Getting Coffee With Their Favorite Drummers.

Still haven't caught up on the films that have shaped whole generations? Well, you better wise up, Janet Weiss. Rocky Horror Picture Show, Labyrinth, and The Big Lebowski are all on the agenda for this episode of lauding and analysis of their genius.

Sleater-Kinney's new album is the first they produced themselves, the first without Janet Weiss and amidst the backdrop of wildfires, pandemic and protests.

Hello you gorgeous gossips, it's spooky season, shocktober if you will. We are FINALLY covering the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show in our first of two Doctober episodes. After their car breaks down Brad Majors and his fiancée Janet Weiss enter a castle seeking a telephone. However, they are immediately thrust into a strange adventure once they meet the master of the house, Dr. Frank N. Furter. Starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick, this Richard O'Brien musical is a non-stop romp.

3B Productions: October 1-2, Stone Productions:November 5th & 6th One fateful night, Brad Majors and his fiancée, Janet Weiss — a wholesome, well-behaved, utterly normal young couple in love — innocently set out to visit an old professor. Unfortunately for them, this night out is destined to be one they will never forget. A thunderstorm and a flat-tire force them to seek help at the castle of Dr. Frank 'N' Furter, an alien, transvestite scientist with a manic genius and insatiable libido. Brad, Janet, and Frank' N' Furter's cohorts are swept up into the scientist's latest experiment. The night's misadventures will cause Brad and Janet to question everything they've known about themselves, each other, love, and lust. A loving homage to the classic B sci-fi film and horror genres with an irresistible rock'n'roll score, The Rocky Horror Show is a hilarious, wild ride that no audience will soon forget.

Episode 5 opens with an update of John & Amy's bar, Life on Mars.  They share their experiences of trying to operate & re-open a business during the pandemic & the financial & safety issues that come along with it.  John also tells us the real difference between being a local TV personality vs. a popular radio DJ.  We hear how John & Amy organize & pull off their child's Minecraft themed birthday party three months late & what happens when you send your child to school with peanut butter puff cereal. This week’s guest is one of rock n roll's greatest drummers, Janet Weiss (Quasi, Slang, Sleater-Kinney).  In late 2019, Janet was in a severe car accident, leaving her physically broken & wondering whether she would be able to play again & what life was going to look like for most important thing in her life, music.  She shares her six months of recovery & how it was only made possible by the enormous outpouring of support from fans, friends & family. Now that she's back at the kit, Janet tells us why every performance needs to be a one-of-a-kind experience & why following your passion is key to feeling like your true self.  Amy gives us her thoughts on the power of community support in recovery & how the pandemic uniquely disabled family & friends from supporting their loved ones in need. She also tells us what is was like to have a blood purse rupture in the hospital. This week's featured music is Quasi. As always, John & Amy remind us that We're Not Alone.The DR & the DJ  Music by Quasi.

Back when I was recording Episode 16 (Quasi, Field Studies) with Mariana Timony of Bandcamp Daily, I had promised that there would be a second part of our discussion forthcoming. This is that second part! Mariana and I spent nearly an hour discussing Quasi drummer/vocalist Janet Weiss' other band (though, sadly, one she is no longer a part of), Sleater-Kinney. We each offer our rankings of the band's studio albums and discuss some of our favorite (and least favorite) tracks from each along the way.Note: I made a comment about Sleater Kinney's The Hot Rock reminding me of “mid-period R.E.M.,” and then went on to cite Fables of the Reconstruction and Life's Rich Pageant as specific albums it reminded me of. As soon as I said this, I realized that, by any reasonable definition, those albums were a part of R.E.M.'s early period. I do think of Murmur and Reckoning as constituting a separate era in the band's discography but failed to come up with a better term for the era I was trying to describe (late-early?).Mariana is on Twitter, and you can follow her at @marianatimony. You can find her writing for Bandcamp Daily here, https://daily.bandcamp.com/contributors/mariana-timony, and her newsletter, The Weird Girls Post, here, https://weirdgirlspost.substack.com/. You can find me (Al) on Twitter at @almelchiorBB or at the account I created for this show, @youmealbum. Would love to hear any comments or questions you have about this episode or the show in general. Since I brought it up several times on this episode, let me know if you'd be interested in hearing Mariana and me talk about Sleater-Kinney's One Beat for a separate episode.1:20 Mariana (re)joins the show2:02 Mariana ranks the Sleater-Kinney albums26:14 Al counts them down 

Our guest is Neil Kopp, producer of Kelly Reichardt's latest film First Cow. He chose Janet Weiss, the Location's Manager (and indie-drummer extraordinaire) as his co-star. Neil & Janet discuss the importance of locations and settings for filmmaking and the unique challenges they both faced in recreating early 19th century Oregon. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/screenradar/support

Jeff was joined by Janet Weiss, former president of BP Alaska. They discuss BP's decision to sell their Alaska assets to Hilcorp, her history with BP, the history of oil/gas on the North Slope, how it was working as the president of BP Alaska, oil tax policy in Alaska, her thoughts on Ballot Measure #1, and a unique table building business she and her family operates. 

Today's guest is Sam Coomes, a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who is perhaps best known as one half of the duo, Quasi, a band he co-founded with Janet Weiss in 1993. Sam possesses a seemingly effortless sense of musicality and a gift for uniquely memorable melody. His lyrics are also fantastic...basically, he has all the bases covered. Aside from his work with Quasi, Sam's played with a host of artists such as Built to Spill, The Go-Betweens, Jon Spencer, Heatmiser, Pink Mountain. Quasi recently released an incredible video for their song "Last Days of the Thin Blue Line Lie". Check it out here.

We Can Be Heroes, hosted by Janet Weiss, drummer for Sleater-Kinney, Quasi, Slang. Co-hosted by DJ Theo Craig We Can Be Heroes revolves around the miscalculations our society makes in regards to women occupying the role of hero. Especially in music, men can inhabit outlandish characters, be scary, sexual, narcotized, mysterious – think David Bowie, Prince, Lou Reed, Keith Richards. Male musicians who get wasted and sleep with teenage groupies are “rock stars” but a woman musician who pushes sexual boundaries onstage is a whore. It is a double standard that keeps women in a sort of ghetto.

Janet Weiss shares on what it means to follow Jesus faithfully as a CEO in the business world. What does it look like to have faith in society.

Host Mat Bradley-Tschirgi discusses The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again from 2016, a TV remake of the 1975 feature The Rocky Horror Picture Show. After getting married, Brad Majors (Ryan McCartan) and Janet Weiss' (Victoria Justice) car breaks down. They hike down to a nearby castle to ask for help, but what they discover is a group of aliens in the midst of a power struggle. Complicating things further is Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Laverne Cox) building a perfect reanimated man, the titular Rocky (Staz Nair). The whole affair is narrated by the Criminologist (Tim Curry).This remake had been in the works for over a decade. A recent boom of made for TV musicals inspired Fox to dust off this old chestnut for a remake. Unlike a lot of recent TV musicals, this one was not lived and filmed on sets. There are some nice moments, but it would have been better if it would have taken a few more chances.

Musician Nick Palmer (thedangeros.com) joins Bill and Brian to discuss Sleater-Kinney's 'breakout' 7th album, the Woods (2005, Sub Pop). Nick describes discovering the band while working at Journeys in the mall, and then thinking the distortion on his pirated copy was a mistake until he bought the album and the liner notes told him that Dave Fridmann was the producer. We talk about Janet Weiss's drumming skills, Carrie Brownstein's rockstar presence, Corin Tucker's soaring vocals, why the band doesn't need a bass player, sexist micro-agressions and pronoun choice, whether or not the last track is any good, how the band should be viewed as one of the greatest of their time, and more as we make our way through the album track by track!

Joe traveled to Portland, OR, to record the very first live episode of The Trap Set at the world-famous Revival Drum Shop. Four of Portland's finest drummers--Janet Weiss, Spit Stix, John Moen, and John Sherman--shared their remarkable life stories. This is the first time all four drummers had been in the same place at the same time, and they bonded over the common challenges they face throughout the course of their artistic lives.

It’s a Portland-tastic live episode from the delightful All Jane Comedy Festival in Oregon, featuring the brilliant talents of Sarah Mirk (Bitch Media), Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney), and musical guest Hutch Harris (The Thermals)!

Nothing but awesome here, as Carrie Brownstein, Corin Tucker, and Janet Weiss breeze in to talk about powering up for their reunion, and recording the new record, "No Cities to Love".

In the second part of their conversation for the Talkhouse Music Podcast, Janet Weiss discusses her talent crush on Nick Cave and Meredith Graves talks about making music as a solo artist. If you want to start from the beginning, the first part of their talk is here.

In this edition of the Talkhouse Music Podcast, Janet Weiss of Sleater-Kinney and Meredith Graves, formerly of Perfect Pussy, talk about creating safe spaces for women to feel empowered, crashing with your fans, and fist fights. Listen to the second part of their conversation here.

The last time Sleater-Kinney played the 9:30 Club, a transformer threatened to blow in the midst of a summer heat wave. Or maybe the Washington, D.C., club just couldn't handle Corin Tucker's pipes. That was nine years ago, on a goodbye-for-now tour that caught the trio at the top of its game. The show was rescheduled and taped for NPR Music, and we had our closure, crossing fingers that it wouldn't be the last we'd hear from Corin Tucker, Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss. In the intervening years, all three put their energies into other projects, musical and not, sometimes even with each other. But Sleater-Kinney has an electric chemistry of its own. As Brownstein says, "I really think Sleater-Kinney is a singular band with no clear predecessor or successor, so I don't think we started out creating music that you could see the palette of colors that we were using, and maybe draw a lineage." On the first night of a two-night gig at the 9:30 Club, Sleater-Kinney went all-in with its set list. Tracks from the band's monster of a new album, No Cities To Love, felt natural alongside songs like "Oh!" and "Words And Guitar," obliterating the band's timeline by demonstrating a catalog that's always present, always on fire.

Janet Weiss is a tremendously powerful drummer based in Portland, Oregon. Weiss is originally from California and, over the past 20 years, has played in notable bands like Quasi, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Wild Flag, and Drumgasm among others and she has an administrative, behind-the-scenes position on the IFC show, Portlandia. She is most […]

A new supergroup featuring Carrie Brownstein (of Sleater-Kinney and NPR's Monitor Mix blog), Janet Weiss (of Sleater-Kinney and Quasi, among others), Mary Timony (of Helium) and Rebecca Cole (of The Minders), WILD FLAG hasn't even released its first single yet. Which means that virtually no one attending NPR Music's SXSW day party at The Parish in Austin, Texas, had heard a note of its rollicking, adventurous pop-rock before walking in the door. Hear the band perform live at NPR Music's SXSW day party from The Parish in Austin, Texas, on March 17, 2011.
