Nous avons le plaisir de recevoir Charles, du groupe EggS. EggS est un groupe de pop-rock indépendant parisien formé en 2018, qui a su s'imposer comme un acteur majeur de la scène indie française. Fondé par Charles Danau, chanteur et guitariste, le groupe rassemble jusqu'à dix musiciens talentueux, parmi lesquels Margaux Bouchaudon et Camille Fréchou, connues pour leur participation à En Attendant Ana, ainsi que des artistes venant d'horizons variés. Leur musique, un savant mélange de post-punk, jangle pop, garage et noise, séduit par ses guitares tranchantes, ses claviers vaporeux et ses mélodies captivantes. Après avoir marqué les esprits avec plusieurs EP, EggS a publié en 2022 son premier album, *A Glitter Year*. Salué pour sa richesse sonore et ses compositions touchantes, cet opus équilibre à merveille fragilité et intensité. Leurs influences, allant de groupes cultes comme The Clean, The Feelies ou Guided By Voices, jusqu'à des labels comme Flying Nun ou Sarah Records, imprègnent leur univers sonore tout en laissant place à une créativité propre. En 2024, EggS poursuit son ascension avec *Craft Achievement*, un deuxième album plus audacieux et affirmé. Cet opus explore des sonorités plus américaines, évoquant l'énergie brute des années 80 et 90, notamment celle du label K Records. L'ajout d'instruments comme le saxophone et le lap steel enrichit encore leur palette musicale. Alternant entre arrangements sophistiqués et énergie lo-fi, ils offrent une indie pop aussi flamboyante qu'intense. Réputé pour son esprit collectif et sa présence scénique, EggS s'inspire de groupes comme Arcade Fire ou Bruce Springsteen dans leur approche collaborative. Aujourd'hui, ils s'imposent comme l'un des groupes les plus prometteurs de la scène hexagonale.

On today's episode, I talk to musician Rose Melberg. Originally from Sacramento, California, Rose has been a performing musician since high school in the early '90s. While only lasting a year, her first band Tiger Trap garnered a cult following and put out a self-titled album on K Records. Her next band Go Sailor lasted from 1994-1996, but in that short time, recorded a number of albums and singles for Slumberland and Lookout! At the same time, Rose formed The Softies with Jen Sbragia. While it was originally meant to be a side-project, it became the main musical focus for the pair, and between 1995 and 2000, they released three fantastic albums on K Records: It's Love, Winter Pageant and Holiday in Rhode Island. Since then, Rose has released a number of incredible solo albums and performed in different bands, but most recently, she and Jen started writing music together again, and their latest album The Bed I Made was just released on Father/Daughter Records, and it's the best!

When developing a business centered around Japanese prints, there are many factors to consider: the audience, the history, and how you want to be perceived by the public. The appeal of the Japanese aesthetic, along with your own personal aesthetic and brand identity, can also be just as important to your business. On this episode of The Unfinished Print, I speak with Malene Wagner, a gallerist, curator, writer, and art historian whose business operates under the name Tiger Tanuki. Malene shares her passion for collecting and selling Japanese prints, and we explore the European perspective on Japanese prints and printmaking. We also dive into Japanese aesthetics and how they are interpreted through a Western lens. Additionally, Malene discusses how these aesthetics influence her brand, Tiger Tanuki, the role history plays in shaping her business, and her upcoming book.

Print publishers are given if known. Malene Wagner & Tiger Tanuki - Instagram, website ukiyo-e - is a multi colour woodblock print generally associated with the Edo Period (1603-1867) of Japan. What began in the 17th Century as prints of only a few colours, evolved into an elaborate system of production and technique into the Meiji Period (1868-1912). With the advent of photography and other forms of printmaking, ukiyo-e as we know it today, ceased production by the late 19th Century.  Uniqlo -  a Japanese clothing brand known for its affordable, minimalist, and high-quality everyday wear. It focuses on functional designs, using innovative fabrics like Heattech for warmth and AIRism for breathability. Uniqlo is popular worldwide for offering essential wardrobe staples and often collaborates with well-known designers and artists to create unique collections. Clear Day With A Southern Breeze (1831) is a print usually known as "Red Fuji." From the series Thirty Six Views of Mt. Fuji this print was actually pink, red was used in later impressions by publisher Nishimuraya Yohachi.  The Great Wave off Kanagawa - is a woodblock print designed by Katsushika Hokusai in 1831. It is very famous.  Yayoi Kusama -  is a pioneering Japanese artist known for her immersive installations and polka dot motifs that explore themes of infinity, identity, and mental health. Born in 1929 in Matsumoto, Japan, Kusama began her artistic journey through painting and avant-garde practices, eventually moving to New York in the late 1950s, where she became a key figure in the pop art and feminist movements. Her works, range from large-scale installations like the "Infinity Mirror Rooms" to her vibrant sculptures and paintings. Kusama's art is a deeply personal expression of her own experiences with mental illness, transforming her obsessions into stunning visual experiences that resonate globally. Today, she is celebrated as one of the most influential contemporary artists, with exhibitions and installations that captivate audiences worldwide. From "Life Is The Heart of A Rainbow", Installation (2017) MANGA - was an exhibition from May 23 - August 26, 2019 held at the British Museum in London, England.  shin hanga - is a style of Japanese woodblock printmaking that emerged in the early 20th century, marking the end of the nishiki-e period. Originating around 1915 under the direction of Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962), the art form responded to the foreign demand for "traditional" Japanese imagery. Shin hanga artists focused on motifs like castles, bridges, famous landscapes, and bamboo forests. The style was initiated when Watanabe discovered Austrian artist Fritz Capelari (1884-1950) and commissioned him to design prints for Watanabe's budding printing house. This collaboration led to the evolution of shin hanga into a distinctive new style of Japanese woodblock printing. The shin hanga movement thrived until its inevitable decline after the Second World War (1939-1945). sōsaku-hanga - or creative prints, is a style of printmaking which is predominantly, although not exclusively, prints made by one person. It started in the early twentieth century in Japan, in the same period as the shin-hanga movement. The artist designs, carves, and prints their own works. The designs, especially in the early days, may seem rudimentary but the creation of self-made prints was a breakthrough for printmakers moving away from where only a select group of carvers, printers and publishers created woodblock prints.  Tomoo Inagaki (1902-1980) - introduced to mokuhanga by Onchi Kōshirō and Un'cihi Hiratsuka in 1923. Beginning in 1924, Inagaki published his first prints in magazines such as Shi to hanga (issue 13), Hanga (issues 6, 9/10, 11, 14), and Kitsutsuki, and exhibited with the Nihon Sôsaku-Hanga Kyôkai (Japan Creative Print Association). He became a member of the Nihon Hanga Kyôkai (Japan Print Association) in 1932 and participated in various post-war international competitions, including the Paris, Tokyo, and Lugano biennales. His cat prints have been highly collectible. More info can be found at Viewing Japanese Prints, here. The Rival Cats - 18" x 24" (1960's - 1970's) Oliver Statler (1915-2002) -  was an American author and scholar and collector of mokuhanga. He had been a soldier in World War 2, having been stationed in Japan. After his time in the war Statler moved back to Japan where he wrote about Japanese prints. His interests were of many facets of Japanese culture such as accommodation, and the 88 Temple Pilgrimage of Shikoku. Oliver Statler, in my opinion, wrote one of the most important books on the sōsaku-hanga movement, “Modern Japanese Prints: An Art Reborn.” Frances Blakemore (1906-1997) - was an American-born artist, writer, philanthropist and curator of modern Japanese mokuhanga. She lived in Japan for over fifty years and helped to support the burgeoning sōsaku hanga print movement of the 1950s. Blakemore worked in mokuhanga (collaborating with Watanabe Shōzaburō) and making self-printed and carved prints. She also worked in oils.  Japanese Bath (1937) - 11 7/8" x 9 5/8 " Yoshitomo Nara - is a renowned Japanese contemporary artist and is celebrated for his distinctive paintings and sculptures featuring figures with large heads and expressive eyes, often exploring themes of innocence, rebellion, and solitude.  Change The History (2007) acrylic on wood 74-7/16" × 55-1/2" × 3-1/8" Mingei - is a Japanese term that translates to "folk craft" or "people's art." It refers to a movement that emerged in the early 20th century, emphasizing the value and beauty of traditional, handmade crafts created by anonymous artisans. Mingei focuses on everyday objects, such as pottery, textiles, furniture, and utensils, that reflect the culture and daily life of the people who made them. Lawrin Smith - is the author of the book "The Prints of Yoshitoshi: A Complete Illustrated Catalog" (2009). This comprehensive catalog focuses on the works of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. The book provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of Yoshitoshi's prints, showcasing his significant contributions to the ukiyo-e genre and his influence on modern printmaking. Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic philosophy that celebrates the beauty of imperfection, transience, and the natural cycle of life. It combines two concepts: "wabi," which refers to rustic simplicity and tranquility found in nature, and "sabi,"which denotes the beauty that comes with age and wear. Wabi-sabi values simplicity, asymmetry, and the unique characteristics of objects and experiences, encouraging appreciation for the impermanent and humble aspects of life. This philosophy is reflected in various forms of art, architecture, and design, emphasizing natural materials and handcrafted items, and fostering mindfulness and acceptance of the imperfections that make life beautiful. A-yo - is a renowned Japanese artist associated with the Gutai Art Association, an avant-garde group that emerged in post-war Japan. Known for his vibrant colors and distinctive style, Ay-O's work often incorporates elements of nature, light, and movement, reflecting themes of playfulness and spontaneity. He engages with materials in innovative ways and has explored performance art as part of his creative expression. With extensive exhibitions both in Japan and internationally, Ay-O has made significant contributions to contemporary art, emphasizing the joy of creation and the aesthetic experience. Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) was a French-American artist and a key figure in modern art, known for his significant influence on the Dada movement and conceptual art. He initially trained as a painter but became renowned for challenging traditional notions of art through his controversial works, such as "Fountain"(1917), a readymade sculpture of a urinal that questioned the definition of art and the role of the artist. Duchamp's other notable pieces, including "The Large Glass" (1915–1923) and "Bicycle Wheel" (1913), explored themes of chance and perception. His innovative ideas about art as a conceptual experience rather than a purely visual one continue to resonate, solidifying his status as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.   Fountain (1917) replica (1964)   Naoko Matsubara - is a contemporary Japanese printmaker known for her expertise in mokuhanga. Born in Osaka, she studied at Kyoto Seika University, where she specialized in printmaking and mastered the techniques of this ancient art form. Matsubara's work often blends traditional methods with contemporary themes, exploring the relationship between nature, culture, and identity. Her prints are characterized by intricate details, vibrant colors, and a deep appreciation for the materials and techniques involved in woodblock printing. She teaches and promotes mokuhanga both in Japan and abroad, exhibiting her work in galleries and museums worldwide and receiving numerous awards for her contributions to the field. Naoko's interview with The Unfinished Print can be found, here.    Gihachiro Okuyama (1907-1981) - was a prominent Japanese printmaker and painter associated with the sōsaku hanga (creative prints) movement. Born in Tokyo, he studied traditional Japanese painting and was influenced by Western art styles, leading to innovative woodblock prints characterized by bold colors and dynamic compositions that blend traditional aesthetics with modern elements. Throughout his career, Okuyama exhibited extensively in Japan and internationally, contributing significantly to contemporary printmaking while also playing a vital role in art education by sharing his expertise with future generations. His work reflects a deep engagement with the cultural exchanges between East and West during the post-war period.     Moonscape - 10" x 21"   Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798-1861) - is considered one of the last “masters” of the ukiyo-e genre of Japanese woodblock printmaking. His designs range from landscapes, samurai and Chinese military heroes, as well as using various formats for his designs such as diptychs and triptychs.   Prince Rokuson Tsunemoto from Suikoden of Japanese Heroes (1843) 10" x 7"    Utagawa Kunisada III (1848–1920) - was a ukiyo-e print designer from the Utagawa school of mokuhanga. Kunisada III's print designs were designed during the transformation of the Edo Period (1603-1868) into the Meiji Period (1868-1912) of Japanese history, where his prints showed the technological, architectural and historical changes in Japan's history.    Kabuki Plays - Narukami and Princess Toki (ca. 1890's) triptych   Saitō Kiyoshi (1907-1997) - was a Japanese woodblock printmaker and artist who worked in the sōsaku hanga style of mokuhanga. HIs fame outside of Japan was fairly comprehensive with his peak fame being in the 1950's and 1960's. For a comprehensive book on his life and times, Saitō Kiyoshi: Graphic Awakening published by The John & Mable Ringling Museum is an excellent source. Can be found, here. Lecture by Dr. Paget about Saitō can be found, here. My interview with Professor Paget can be found, here.    Dog, Daschund 2 10" x 15"   Edvard Munch (1863-1944) - was a Norweigan artist, who initially was a painter, but also ventured into printmaking making 850 images. His print medium was etching, lithography, and woodcut. More information can be found here, at Christie's.      Anxiety (1894)   Pieter Cornelius Mondrian (1872-1944) - a Dutch artist who's work helped found De Stijl in 1917, a group of Dutch painters who helped codify Mondrian's abstraction and industrial design. Mondrian has a wide spectrum of works and styles created throughout his career. More information can be found, here from the Guggenheim.   Mill in Sunlight (1908). Credit: Kunstmuseum Den Haag, The Hague, The Netherlands © 2021 Mondrian/Holtzman Trust   Shunga - meaning "spring pictures," is a genre of Japanese erotic art that flourished during the Edo period (1603–1868), characterized by woodblock prints, paintings, and illustrated books depicting explicit sexual scenes often combined with humor, romance, and social commentary. Notable for its vibrant colors and intricate details, shunga explores themes of intimacy and sexuality, serving both as entertainment and education in a culture where such topics were often taboo. The genre reflects societal attitudes toward love and relationships and has a rich history despite facing censorship at various times. Today, shunga is recognized as a significant part of Japanese art history, appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and cultural context. Paul Binnie - Candlelight (1994) kappazuri print 24" x 18"  Tosa Prefecture - historically known as Tosa Province, is located in the southern part of Shikoku, Japan, and corresponds to present-day Kochi Prefecture. Renowned for its natural beauty, including mountains, rivers, and coastal landscapes, Tosa has a rich cultural heritage that includes traditional crafts like Tosa washi (handmade paper) and Tosa pottery. The region is famous for its vibrant festivals, such as the Yosakoi Festival, which features lively dance performances, and is known for its agricultural products, particularly citrus fruits like yuzu and sudachi, along with seafood. Kochi City, the capital of Kochi Prefecture, serves as the cultural and economic center, showcasing local cuisine, historical sites, and museums.

On today's episode, I talk to musician and home recording pioneer Linda Smith. While Linda had started playing out in New York in the late 1970s, it was really when she returned home to Baltimore that her artistic life blossomed. Starting in the late 1980s, she began recording what is now known as bedroom pop and releasing her albums on cassette. Through word of mouth and distros like K Records, she gained a great deal of acclaim, and in the 1990s, labels like Slumberland, Shrimper and Harriet began to release her albums. In 2021, Captured Tracks released an anthology of Linda's music entitled Till Another Time: 1988–1996, and at the start of March, they re-released two more of her early albums, Nothing Else Matters and I So Liked Spring, both wonderful and well worth your time!

The podcast is back. We were gone for a spell. Now we're back. Episode 87 finds us easing back into the podwaters with a low-key ‘comfort food' conversation between myself and TMpod regular Sean Kelly (father, Tight Bros From Way Back When, SUBPOP, K Records, west coast punk rock real one) We share a warm hearted conversation that touches on the joy of vinyl records, old guitars, self directed programs of learning and growing and other stuff that confirms we are walking, talking embodied cliches of late middle aged Portland music/culture guys. It's all love and light with some very tiny dustings of existential horror and dread on top to keep things balanced. Thank you so much for listening and for supporting the pod. WE LOVE YOU.

East to New York City. West to Los Angeles. Pick your poison as the saying goes. Out of one swamp. Into another. For the Louisiana diaspora, home is hard to quit. Home is where the heart is, after all.  Many transplants become boomerangs, a demographic term of art for people who go away and come home. At least, that's the hope if — like Louisiana — you're a net exporter of people and talent.  Coming home can be a double-edged sword. It's comforting. But, in creative industries, it can mean making do in a smaller market with opportunities hard to come by.  On the flipside: You might become the change you want to see in the world.  Kelly Clayton was the first in fifteen generations in her family to leave Louisiana. Kelly is a poet, playwright and workshop facilitator. She left for New York in 1991 with a suitcase and seven boxes of books. And she meant it as a one-way ticket. But she returned to Louisiana in 2010.  Back home, Kelly has continued working as a literary artist here. She teaches poetry and creative writing, and organizes programs for formerly incarcerated people and kids in the Louisiana Juvenile Detention Center. In 2020, she published her poetry collection Mother of Chaos Queen of the Nines. Kelly grew up between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, but lives in Lafayette.  When Rachel Nederveld left home for Los Angeles, she knew she'd eventually come back home to Lafayette. Rachel is a film producer and podcaster, and made her name for herself in documentary circles with works like The Tuba Thieves and Footwork.   Rachel first worked in the music industry, getting a job with the legendary indie label K Records and opening Lafayette's location of the Tipitina's Music Co-Op in 2008. She got into film production in 2010 and moved to L.A. in 2014.  Being a producer is sort of like being the CEO of a film, Rachel says. She's responsible largely for the logistics and fundraising. Her films have premiered at SXSW, Sundance, Tribeca and Lafayette's hometown festival, Southern Screen. Rachel returned to Lafayette in 2022 and is also developing a career in podcasting. Out to Lunch Acadiana was recorded live over lunch at Tsunami Sushi in downtown Lafayette.

The conversation starts at the beginning, wherein we meet a young Chris in the 80's walking down the strip mall streets of his hometown of Lacey, WA carrying his new $208 bass guitar toward home where he would begin practicing his hair metal bass shredding.  It wasn't until his mom insisted he and his friend Dan check out a music festival happening downtown that he had any inkling that he lived in a punk rock epicenter. All that changed the moment they stepped out of the car to check out the International Pop Underground Festival. It wasn't long before he met IPU creator, K Records founder Calvin Johnson while recording with Oly ska band Engine 54 and was swept away on a musical odyssey that continues to this day and has taken him around the world beginning with Calvin's Dub Narcotic Sounds System continuing with C.O.C.O, The Gossip, The Dirt Bombs, Chain and the Gang to name a few. Always a prolific musician, Chris has recently released a collection of selected solo tunes on the Antiquated Future label created between 1998 and 2019 called you brought me back from the dead. It's great listening and I urge you to seek it out either in it's cassette form or streaming on all the web places! Enjoy my conversation with Chris!

There aren't many surviving old school punk musicians. Many of them have gone on to that great gig in the sky, but those that have survived the last 45 years are the true legacy artists of a long gone generation. Mention Johnny Rotten, Siouxsie Sioux, Nina Hagen, or Henry Rollins and you know they changed the musical landscape forever, and their influence is far reaching.Of all the surviving punks, John Robb is a truly influential human, known not only as a founding member of the legendary Membranes, but as a writer, a commentator, a pundit, and an industry insider for over 30 years. Our conversation today was everything I had hoped it'd be. As you can imagine, this is a man with too many stories, but we got to a few, and most importantly took the opportunity to talk about his AMAZING new book, "The Art of Darkness, the History of Goth."So, to quote Marty DiBergi from Spinal Tap, "enough of my yakkin'.... let's boogie."

Special guest, Chris Slorach, guitarist with Canadian noise enthusiasts METZ speaks with us today about the 1987 banger The Gate. Plus we get into his introduction to horror movies, his favourites & a ton of stuff about his band as well. It was a good time.

Field School - "Jennifer Valentine" from the 2022 album When Summer Comes on Bobo Integral / Small Craft Advisory. It can be rare for a new band to immediately conjure a very specific location, scene, time, and sound but pressing play on Field School's debut album When Summer Comes is like traveling to Olympia in the early ‘90s, despite its 2022 release. The project of Charles Bert of Seattle band Math and Physics Club, Field School was born out of necessity during the pandemic. Without the ability to play with his bandmates, Bert leaned on himself to create and record full songs on his own. Conjuring the twee pop sounds K Records became synonymous with during that era, the perhaps-not-coincidentally Olympia-based artist makes sentimental lo-fi jangle pop with all the sugary sweetness but none of the calories. Our Song of the Day, “Jennifer Valentine,” is a highlight off the record and hones in on the saccharine wistfulness. “Jennifer Valentine, I wrote your name a thousand times/I wonder if you remember mine,” Bert sings with sincerity while a simple drum beat keeps tempo and guitars effervescently jangle. “Jennifer Valentine, I'll never change my mind /Cross my heart and hope to die.” If that's not twee, I don't know what is.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with The Lowest PairKendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee are two kindred spirits who first met on the banks of the Mississippi while touring the Midwest festival circuit. Born and raised in Arkansas, Winter found herself drawn to the evergreens and damp air of the Pacific Northwest, as well as the boundless music scene of Olympia, Washington. She released three solo records on Olympia-based indie label, K Records, and performed in ramblin' folk bands and anarchic punk bands before serendipitously meeting Palmer T. Lee in 2013. Lee had built his first banjo when he was 19 from pieces he inherited and began cutting his teeth fronting Minneapolis string bands before convincing Winter that they should form a banjo duo. Now, as The Lowest Pair, they have recorded and released five albums together, relentlessly toured North America, and ventured to the UK twice, playing over 500 live shows over the past five years.

Suivant les traces des premiers labels punk américains des années 80 tels que SST, Dischord et Alternative Tentacles, Kill Rock Stars était dans les années 90 le label référence de la scène musicale d'Olympia dans l'état de Washington et le label à l'origine du mouvement Riot Grrrl. Slim Moon déménage à Olympia a 18 ans et tombe, dans une galerie d'art, sur un spectacle de Spoken Word de Jesse Bernstein, époustouflé, il commence à en écrire et à en jouer. Il s'implique , alors, fortement dans la scène musicale locale. Il joue dans un tas de groupes différents, notamment dans le groupe de rock expérimental Witchypoo dans lequel il rencontre Tinuviel Sampson. Il décide de créer, avec elle, un label dans le but de sortir les enregistrements de Spoken Word de leurs amis. Moon en s'inspirant des labels comme Touch and Go, Dischord mais aussi K Records, souhaite diriger sa maison de disque d'une manière juste et respectueuse pour les artistes. « Wordcore Volume 1 » devient, en 91, la première sortie de Kill Rock Stars. Le disque comprend un poème de Kathleen Hanna de Bikini Kill en face A et des morceaux de Spoken Word de Slim Moon en face B. La même année, Moon revoit sa position de ne sortir que des enregistrements de Spoken Word après avoir vu le premier concert d'Unwound, et sort leur premier single. En août 91, Calvin Johnson et Candice Pederson, du label K Records, organisent, à Olympia, un festival de musique indé appelé Internationale Pop Underground Convention. Son but est de réunir des groupes avec les mêmes valeurs « Do It Yourself » et anticapitalistes, et de prôner l'indépendance artistique. Fugazi, Built To Spill, The Fastbacks ou les Melvins s'y produisent. La première soirée nommée Love Rock Revolution Girl Style Now est entièrement consacrée aux groupes féminins punks et queercore comme Bikini Kill, Heaven To Besty ou Bratmobile. Le magazine Spin parle même de la convention comme du vrai Woodstock des années 90. Olympia apparaît pour la première fois, sur la carte des scènes qui comptent. Pour l'occasion, Slim Moon sort la première compilation de Kill Rock Stars. Elle instaure déjà la ligne de conduite qui sera la caractéristique du label : autant d'hommes que de femmes. Une mixité qui sera la ligne politique de Kill Rock Stars jusqu'au départ de Moon en 2006. Bien que le label n'ait jamais été affilié à un genre ou un mouvement musical particulier, Kill Rock Stars sera toujours lié aux groupes Riot Grrrl des années 90, comme Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, Huggy Bear, Heavens to Betsy et Excuse 17 qu'il n'a jamais cessé de promouvoir. Le partenariat le plus fructueux de l'histoire du label a sans doute été son association avec Elliott Smith. Le succès de Smith a inauguré une nouvelle ère chez Kill Rock Stars. Au cours de la décennie suivante, le label a adopté une palette sonore plus large qui s'est de plus en plus appuyée sur des musiciens inspirés du folk rock comme The Decemberists et Thao Nguyen. Le label sortait parfois plus de 50 albums par an, un chiffre bien supérieur à celles des autres maisons de disques de l'époque. Un rythme effréné qui épuisera Moon. En 2006, il annonce alors son départ de Kill Rock Stars pour travailler chez Nonesuch Records, une filiale de Warner Music. Sa femme Portia Sabin, prendra la direction du label jusqu'à son retour en 2019. Connu pour ses sorties importantes de groupes Riot Grrrl, Kill Rock Stars est un modèle de label indépendant et à travers son intégrité, il est devenu l'une des maisons de disques les plus influentes de la musique indépendante.

Happy (American) Thanksgiving to all TM pod listeners! I'm delighted to say TM pod ep. 66 marks the first ever podcast appearance, here or anywhere else, of musician, friend, founding Unwound member Brandt Sandeno! Brandt and I talk about his musical origin story beginning as a teen at Tumwater High School with his (pre-Unwound) Giant Henry bandmates Justin Trosper and Vern Rumsey. He describes how as a passionate guitarist, he was the band's drummer out of necessity and was happy to turn over the throne to Sara Lund not long after G.H.'s name change. Brandt went on to play keyboards with Unwound and would throughout the years frequently collaborate with Justin in other projects such as Survival Knife, The Young Ginns, Replikants among others. He shares a ton of great stories and paints a vivid picture of the influential Olympia music scene of the 80's and 90's from his perspective as a local kid growing up in that fertile place and time. The two of us also get into some funny tales of our time as co-workers at K Records and in the halls of power at the Washington State capitol. Hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did making it. Thank you for listening!

We checked back with Rich Jensen, whose career stretches from recording for and contributing to the business infrastructure of legendary indie labels, Sup Pop and K Records, to working on the Michael Brooks Show along with our own David Slavick, to the cutting edge of the co operative internet.

In the October/November 2022 print issue of Goldmine, Beatles aficionado Frank Daniels details the top U.K. Beatles records to own. On the Goldmine Podcast we'll tell you about the Top 3 from this article that most record collectors can only dream about owning. 

For the second collection of highlights from the Scherler Sundays 2022 concert and interview series, we have a document from an indie rock lover's dream: Doug Martsch of Built to Spill and John Atkins of 764-HERO, and more recently, his new band Sun Breaks. Doug and John each play intimate acoustic sets behind the old Carnegie Library in Olympia. For this show, I interviewed the two of them together since they have a bit of mutual history in their formative years in their respective music careers- you'll hear about that in a bit. I'm including about 20 minutes from each performance on today's show, and it was really difficult to choose which songs. Doug had a terrific selection of familiar cover tunes, including songs by Cat Stevens and Mazzy Star that aren't included here. If you want to hear the complete, unedited show you can find a link to that at patreon.com/lowprofile.Doug Martsch is best known as the man behind Built To Spill, Boise's undisputed kings of indie rock since the early 1990s, Treepeople before that, and a solo album called “Now You Know” released 20 years ago. Built to Spill also toured as the late Daniel Johnson's backup band, and shortly thereafter released the album "Built to Spill Plays the Songs of Daniel Johnson" in 2020. But my first exposure to his music was through his band with Olympia's Calvin Johnson on K Records, The Halo Benders. His wry lyrics and virtuosity on the guitar have made a life-long fan out of me from day one.Three Magnets Brewing Company, this season's collaborator, has also released several beers inspired by Built to Spill albums/songs, and were absolutely thrilled when Doug agreed to perform at Scherler Sundays! Built To Spill has a new album, When the Wind Forgets Your Name, out this Fall.  He plays a tune from it here, along with some other BTS favorites and a few surprising cover tunes.John Atkins' band 764-HERO toured with Built to Spill in the early 1990s when they were label mates on Up! Records, and this commonality inspired the idea to interview Doug and John together for this show.  John's music is cemented in the minds of indie fans in the Northwest and beyond.  Following 764-HERO, the ever-evolving Atkins' other projects Hush Harbor, and currently, Sun Breaks, have continued to create emotionally charged, contemplative records.  Today, you'll hear some favorite tunes from across the past few decades in John's catalog.This episode was recorded and engineered by Robin Carmosino behind the historic Carnegie Library in Olympia, WA on June 26th, 2022.

On today's episode, I talk to musician Karl Blau. Originally from Samish Island, WA, Karl grew up in a family of amatuer musicians and at first thought he was going to be a fine artist. But by the end of high school, Karl was all in on music, and his band Captain Fathom began playing in Anacortes. It was there he met Beat Happening's Bret Lunsford and a pre-Microphones/Mount Eerie Phil Elvrum and they formed the band D+. Being part of the Anacortes music scene eventually led Karl to joining Laura Veirs' band, to working at K Records' Dub Narcotic Studios, and to write and record dozens of albums of his own since the late '90s, which were released on labels like Lunsford's Knw-Yr-Own, K Records, Bella Union, and though Karl's own recording series Kelp!

L'histoire de K Records est lié à celle de Calvin Johnson, son fondateur. Il fait ses débuts comme bénévole à 15 ans à KAOS-FM, une radio étudiante d'Olympia dans l'état de Washington, non loin de Seattle. C'est dans ces studios que Nirvana fera ses débuts sur les ondes, en 87 et que le mouvement riot grrrl naitra. Il contribuera aussi à créer le fanzine Sub Pop qui deviendra le label que l'on connaît. En 1982, Calvin croise la route de Ian MacKaye, frontman de Fugazi et décide avec deux autres bénévoles de la radio de créer un groupe. Beat Happening est né. Le groupe enregistre son premier EP « Three Tea Breakfast ». Dans le but de le distribuer, adepte du do it yourself et avec l'aide de KAOS-FM, il lance son propre label, K Records. Sa cuisine se transforme en usine de cassettes et il peut ainsi promouvoir la scène locale et son propre groupe Beat Happening. Leur single Our Secret/What's Important deviendra en 84, la première sortie vinyle du label. K Records n'étant plus gérable à domicile. Il embauche, en 86, Candice Pedersen, une camarade de fac. Elle est chargée de gérer l'envoi des cassettes par la poste et de rédiger une newsletter pour les 2000 fidèles du jeune label. L'antenne de KAOS-FM sert de vitrine publicitaire et Rough Trade accepte de signer un contrat afin faciliter leurs démarches. La grande majorité des premières sorties du label sont réalisés sur cassettes. Un format idéal, selon Calvin Johnson, pour une scène locale comme Olympia, car peu onéreux. Les pochettes d'albums des premières sorties de K Records sont enfantines, dessinées à la main. Une esthétique combiné au son de groupes tels que Beat Happenig ou Heavenly fait que label sera associé à la scène twee punk. En 1991, Calvin Johnson organise un festival « International Pop Underground » de plus de cinquante groupes dont L7, Fugazi et Bikini Kill, afin de promouvoir les groupes underground et de montrer qu'il est possible de s'affranchir des majors. Deux ans plus tard, il transforme un sous-sol en studio d'enregistrement, le Dub Narcotic Studio. Ce temple du lo-fi accueillera Beck, John Spencer et tous les étudiants de la fac qui veulent enregistrer leurs chansons. Avec Candice Pedersen dans les coulisses, des groupes comme Mecca Normal et la présence de Heather Lewis dans Beat Happening. K Records a toujours mis les femmes en avant et a été une source d'inspiration pour de nombreux groupes féminins de l'époque. Le label a également mis en évidence les femmes lors de son festival avec 15 artistes dirigés par des femmes tels que Bratmobile, le premier groupe exclusivement féminin d'Olympia. K Records a eu une influence sur la musique indépendante et la culture punk underground DIY et a fait l'objet d'un documentaire réalisé par Heather Rose Dominic intitulé The Shield Around the K. Un label a l'image de son fondateur, qui a consacré sa vie à un modèle économique alternatif et profondément humain. Aujourd'hui, le label continue son activité avec Jeremy Jay en guise d'ambassadeur.

In the season five finale—the 30th episode overall (a landmark?), and the sixth episode this time around, Kevin welcomes illustrious guest Anika Pyle to the virtual building. A member of the beloved but long defunct pop-punk outfit Chumped, and the leader for the equally as poppy and punky group Katie Ellen, Pyle spent 2020 crafting her solo debut, Wild River. The two talk about the album, remaining creative during a fucking pandemic, vegan food, and the gender politics of pop music.

Episode 47 Jason catches up with his ex-wife, Los Angeles raised, former Olympia punk, now fellow Portlander Star Athena. The two talk about Star's experience growing up in Los Angeles. Raised in a westside apartment down the hall from Punky Meadows, frontman of Casablanca recording artists Angel. Her brother Heath played in many LA bands, doing a stint with Angry Samoans among others. She talks about how as a teen going to punk shows she was repulsed by the sexual violence and harassment she experienced in the crowd, but that it didn't crush her love of music. Star and Jason met in the very early 90's when she was a DJ at influential college station KUSF in San Francisco and he was working for Jello Biafra at Alternative Tentacles. They discuss those vital years in SF before tech dollars leveled the city's culture and the music industry was exploding with alternative grunginess. They go on to explore their move to Olympia after attending the International Pop Underground Fest and they recall what they both saw as the D.I.Y. pastoral punk paradise they found in their new home. They get into her two bands Flying Tigers and SubDebs who both released vinyl on K Records. It's not all about the past; Star explains how her diagnosis of Autism in her forties has given her a greater level of understanding and self-acceptance. She also shares some of the techniques and practices she uses today to mitigate the stress and anxiety of life and the challenges of living with multiple chronic illnesses. It's an uplifting conversation that went on much longer than one episode could hold. Hopefully Star will be back for a part two soon! Thank you for listening!

Ya lo veníamos anunciando días atrás y ya está aquí (sale el día 22) la versión española (edita Libros del Kultrum) de las memorias de Chris Franz, miembro de Talking Heads y del proyecto paralelo junto a su pareja Tina Weymouth (maravillosa sección de ritmo de la historia de la música contemporánea). Más de 500 páginas empiezan en el momento en que el bajista conoce a David Byrne y llega el relato hasta que la banda se desintegra. Hemos rendido tributo a Mary Wilson, 76 años, quien puso en marcha aquellas Supremes que llegó a capitanear Diana Ross y con Florence Ballard como tercera componente de la primera alineación titular de ese sonido Motown inconfundible de los años 60´s. Novedades internacionales son la recuperación de la aventura cercana al sonido C´86 y el sello K Records de Linda Smith y lo que ocurrió entre 1988 y 1996. También el nuevo sencillo de la galesa Jodie Marie de su tercer álbum "The answer". y el recopilatorio de 30 temas de 14 discos del proyecto de Andrew Taylor desde Escocia de Dropkick. Novedades de aquí son el primer tema en castellano de The Dry Mouths que no deja de ser un homenaje al malogrado Andy.

On this episode of The Echo Chamber, Shonen Knife – a story of cultural exchange through the cassette tape. But also a story of an era in history just before the stronghold of the looming internet drastically changed, among so many other things, the way we consume and discover music.  It was a time when culture – as writer Karen Schoemer said – was precious, you really had to fight for it.   A closer look at how cassettes, alongside fanzines and college radio, all worked to create an environment that made possible the seemingly improbable circumstance of an all-girl band from Osaka, Japan eventually opening for Nirvana – one of the biggest musical acts of the 90s, and how these women have retained their status of cultural influence some 40 years after their bands' origin.   This episode features interviews with Shonen Knife; Karen Schoemer, former music critic of the New York Times; and Brooke McCorkle Okazaki, Assistant Professor of Music at Carleton College and author of the forthcoming book, Shonen Knife's Happy Hour: Food, Gender, Rock and Roll The Osaka Ramones – The International Impact of Shonen Knife Naoko Yamano (NY):  Sheena is a punk rocker [sings The Ramones "Sheena is a Punk Rocker] NY:  I'm Naoko, I play the guitar. Atsuko Yamano (AY):  I'm Atsuko, I play the bass guitar. Risa Kawano (RK):  I'm Risa.  I play the drums. NY:  Shonen means boy in Japanese and it's a very old brand name of a pencil knife.  And the word 'shonen' has very cute feeling and the knife has a little dangerous feeling, so when cute and dangerous combined together, it's just like our band.  So I put that name.  Originally I liked The Beatles a lot when I was a child, and then in the late 70s, punk pop movement was happening and I became a big fan of The Ramones or Buzzcocks.  First I listened to their music through radio. There was a radio program in Osaka and they played The Ramones or Buzzcocks.  Many punk music... When I was 15 years old I got an acoustic guitar.  The strings were so hard and I hurt my fingers so I couldn’t play the acoustic guitar but after I get an electric guitar a few years after that. I rather like pop melody line punk rock, and inspired by such kinds of bands, I wanted to start my own band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsOGXEwl1Z8 Brooke McCorkle Okazaki (BM):  Shonen Knife – they formed in 1981.  Naoko decided to form a rock and roll band after she heard some Ramones on the radio.  My name is Brooke McCorkle Okazaki.  I am an Assistant Professor of Music at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota and I am the author of "Shonen Knife's Happy Hour: Food Gender and Rock and Roll".  Michie and Naoko were currently working as secretaries and workers in a machinery company in Osaka, and Atsuko was actually still  a high school student.  She wound up graduating and going to fashion school.  They all worked day jobs until 1994 when they went on the big North American tour.  And it was then when they decided to quite and become full time musicians.  So they were slugging it out for a good 13 years before becoming full time musicians.  And they've been full time musicians since then which is just amazing. NY:  The Japanese Minna Tanoshiku means “Let’s have fun together”.  We recorded it at our friend’s house and everybody was very DIY.  One day a guy who’s record label is called Zero Records came to our show and he offered that he would like to release our record.  For that cassette album we copied 40 cassettes and we put our kissmark on each jacket.  First I got postal mail from Calvin Johnson from K Records and then we exchanged letters because there was no internet at that time and of course there was no facsimile too.  So Calvin Johnson said he wanted to release our album from his label K Records.  So we sent our master tape to him by postal mail and then he made our cassette tape. Calvin Johnson (CJ):  The cassette came along and it was something where you could just make 30 or 50 cassettes and it d...

This story originally aired on November 26, 2016. Singer-songwriter Kimya Dawson writes intimate music that connects with her fans in a very personal way. Olympia's independent K Records wrote that "her recordings make it feel as though you have a friend there whispering in your ear. And you do because Kimya is your friend." However, Dawson's intimacy can sometimes get her into trouble. She finds herself opening her heart too much and taking in too many friends. At our live event in May, Dawson shared one of her songs and explored how she sometimes loses herself in her need to be a friend to everyone.

This is a cover of the 2004 song "You Fuck Me Up," by Dub Narcotic Sound System, a lo-fi funk band named after the recording studio in Olympia, Washington, where many of our friends and extended Pacific Northwest community have recorded albums over the decades for K Records and various other satellite labels. The original vocal on this song is performed by the Olympia underground art-ward multi-instrumentalist staple Heather Dunn (Tiger Trap, Liarbird, Lois, Raincoats, The No-No's, Halo Benders, Dennis Driscoll) whose fantastic and loose performance taps into an undeniable, elemental horniness. It's very alive. This music, and the larger constellation of music that constitutes its scene, has always represented, to us, the very fundamentals of punk. In its infinite capacity to miss the point, Pitchfork called this song "horrifically off-key" and "endlessly bad" back in the day. Lyrics Touch my nose and undress my belt It just the way that we used to felt It fucks me up night til noon When will you come again it’s never too soon You fuck me up, baby Up down and sideways and back again You fuck me up, baby Your shits so good yeah I wish you would Look through the soles of my shoes for clues It’s been hot so I ask just what to do You fuck up from night til to noon But when you’re gone come back ‘cuz it’s too soon You fuck me up Your hair fucks me up That’s why I creep That’s why I weep You fuck me up South states goes round and round Old records go round and round This town goes round and round Big wheel go rou nd and round Come take my heart and send it to me Come here now and you will see A rabid power my love can be A rabid power that’s a reason to dance with me You fuck me up I can’t get up I can’t stand up, baby Round and round I ain’t stop and You fuck me up I can’t stand up for the love ‘cuz you got me strung out I am the one that you want without a doubt Come on and scrape come on and scream a little more You fuck me up baby watch me and I head for the door You fuck me up I like the way you fuck me up You fuck me up Steamy windows Condensation Evaporation Elation Steamy windows You fuck me up, baby Credits Released May 1, 2020 Recorded, performed, produced, and mixed by YACHT Mastered by Timothy Stollenwerk

Jeffrey Lewis in conversation with David Eastaugh Lewis is often regarded as part of the antifolk movement, foremost because he was one of the many bands and performers (including The Moldy Peaches, Kimya Dawson, Diane Cluck, Regina Spektor, Major Matt Mason USA and Lach) who played in the 1990s at New York's SideWalk Cafe and its biannual antifolk festivals and open micevents. His music also possesses certain traits of a perceived antifolk style - a downbeat self-deprecating humor, an off-kilter singing style, a mixture of acoustic and 'punk' songs which feature themes of everyday occurrences and feelings. Lewis himself does not mind the 'antifolk' tag: "I think it's a cool title. The fact that no one knows what it means, including me, makes it kind of mysterious and more interesting than saying that you're a singer/songwriter or that you play indie rock." After being signed by the British record label Rough Trade in 2001, Jeffrey Lewis released his first official album The Last Time I Did Acid I Went Insane. Also that year (in February), Lewis was visited by Kimya Dawson while living in Austin, Texas. Over the week she stayed there, they wrote five songs. These songs were later re-recorded with a full band and released by K Records under the moniker "The Bundles," on an album of the same name, in 2010.[8] In 2003 Rough Trade released the album It's the Ones Who've Cracked That the Light Shines Through, credited to Jeffrey Lewis with Jack Lewis and drummer Anders Griffen. His third Rough Trade record, City and Eastern Songs, was released in the UK in November 2005 and in the US in September 2006. Most of Lewis's albums also include his brother, Jack Lewis, who wrote or co-wrote and sang and played bass on a number of the songs. In October 2007, Rough Trade released 12 Crass Songs, a Jeffrey Lewis album consisting entirely of songs written by the British punk band Crass, reworked to match Lewis's antifolk style.     In a January 2018 "MusicMakers" interview with Adafruit, Lewis announced he was working on numerous new projects, including "Writing a new issue of my comic book series, mastering an album I recorded of covers of Tuli Kupferberg songs, mixing an album I recorded in collaboration with Peter Stampfel, and working on writing and recording new songs with my band for my own next album. Remastering and repackaging my old 2005 album “City & Eastern Songs” for a deluxe vinyl re-issue."

About This Episode Kendl Winter, born in Arkansas, moved to Olympia, Washington after high school, drawn to the evergreen forests and the lively and thriving music scene. She put three solo records out on Olympia’s indie label, K Records, and performed in nationally-touring northwest string bands before beginning The Lowest Pair in 2013 with Palmer T. Lee. Palmer built his first banjo when he was 19 from pieces he serendipitously inherited. Shortly after deciding songwriting would be the most effective and enjoyable medium for his musings, he began cutting his teeth fronting Minneapolis string bands and touring the midwest festival circuit, which is where he and Kendl first met, on the banks of the Mississippi. “Both of us studied roots music and traditional banjo techniques, three finger and clawhammer. We started there and then from our understanding of them have diverged, perhaps because of our own limitations, and probably because we both tend to err on creative. Even when we are attempting to recreate old sounds, we can’t help but have our own twist on it. We approach our instruments as vehicles to explore poetry, song, and melody and have kind of been making up our own sounds in the places where we couldn’t find ones that seemed to fit or make sense to us. We recorded our first album (36cents) in Dave Simonett’s basement a month after we began playing together, and our second (The Sacred Heart Sessions) , a year later, in a beautiful old church in Duluth, MN.” -Kendl The Lowest Pair had been planning to release a new record in the Spring of 2016. So in early 2015 Palmer convinced Kendl to spend a winter in Minnesota, with the temptation of working with local greats Dave Simonett and Erik Koskinen on the new material. The duo then set off on what would be a successful season of touring their second, critically acclaimed album, The Sacred Heart Sessions (Spin: “solemn and humble;” The Bluegrass Situation: “deeply felt”), and a new-old-time record, I Reckon I’m Fixin’ On Kickin’ Round To Pick A Little, Vol. 1. In the fall, returning to the midwest to finish up the recordings they had begun a few months prior, Kendl and Palmer found themselves with a whole new batch of songs ready to lay down. After much deliberation, they ambitiously decided the two collections should be released together in 2016. The two records, Fern Girl and Ice Man, as well as Uncertain As It Is Uneven, could be viewed as two windows into the growing and changing world of The Lowest Pair. Uncertain stays the course of their previous releases, being focused on stripped down, intimate arrangements to support their timeless songwriting and haunting vocals. Fern Girl is a more moody and adventurous exploration of new sounds, new studio production directions, and what it might sound like for The Lowest Pair to be supported by a full band, while keeping one foot planted in the rootsy aesthetics which drew them together from the beginning. With little attention to tedious practicalities and with an eye focused securely on delivering to their growing fan base a truly special treat; a rootsy, bluegrassy, old-timish version of meiosis has happened as one new album became two new albums. For Kendl, making two albums was a natural reflection of the pace they had set and the experiences they had accumulated. “It’s not that the two records have to be next to and with each other, it’s just that it’s all there, our current story, and the stories we’re figuring out.” Fans already know that the chemistry between Palmer’s Midwestern charm, those long winters spent listening to a steady diet of Townes Van Zandt and John Hartford, and Kendl’s poetic and playful way with words, her unique approach to the banjo, and her barefoot-in- the-cool-river-water mystique combine to make a powerful sound, but what’s new in 2016 is both the inclusion of those non-banjo sounds (harmonica, drum, bass, violin) and an incredible expansion of their songbook. In a way, two records, the playful and the hush, the dark and the rooted, the pillow and the nightmare, the pin drop and the starry night; the juxtaposition of the ups and downs that are experiences in a day, in a year, in a minute, all this has demanded from the band more than just “a new record.” Fern Girl and Ice Man and Uncertain As It Is Uneven mark the arrival of America’s next great musical duo, and it’s over the course of these two albums that that boast becomes clearly rooted in truth. This episode also contains a selection from the Blue Canvas Orchestra's show Wild Woods and Water.

Old Time Relijun was born on January 1st, 1995 in a dark and moldy basement in Olympia, Washington. The band stole some popcorn bags, talked a friend out of his inheritance and self-released “Songbook Vol. I” in 1997. They then began their long association with Calvin Johnson’s K Records. Old Time Relijun maintained its singular identity through every musical landscape over the next dozen years. Between 1999 and 2007, Old Time Relijun toured like monsters, averaging 150 shows a year in the U.S. and Europe, releasing 6 albums along the way. There is no better time than this fucked up time in history to “get the band back together” and Old Time Relijun’s new EP “See Now and Know” finds the reunited group back with unprecedented vigor and a life-embracing madness.

About This Episode Kendl Winter, born in Arkansas, moved to Olympia, Washington after high school, drawn to the evergreen forests and the lively and thriving music scene. She put three solo records out on Olympia’s indie label, K Records, and performed in nationally-touring northwest string bands before beginning The Lowest Pair in 2013 with Palmer T. Lee. Palmer built his first banjo when he was 19 from pieces he serendipitously inherited. Shortly after deciding songwriting would be the most effective and enjoyable medium for his musings, he began cutting his teeth fronting Minneapolis string bands and touring the midwest festival circuit, which is where he and Kendl first met, on the banks of the Mississippi. “Both of us studied roots music and traditional banjo techniques, three finger and clawhammer. We started there and then from our understanding of them have diverged, perhaps because of our own limitations, and probably because we both tend to err on creative. Even when we are attempting to recreate old sounds, we can’t help but have our own twist on it. We approach our instruments as vehicles to explore poetry, song, and melody and have kind of been making up our own sounds in the places where we couldn’t find ones that seemed to fit or make sense to us. We recorded our first album (36cents) in Dave Simonett’s basement a month after we began playing together, and our second (The Sacred Heart Sessions) , a year later, in a beautiful old church in Duluth, MN.” -Kendl The Lowest Pair had been planning to release a new record in the Spring of 2016. So in early 2015 Palmer convinced Kendl to spend a winter in Minnesota, with the temptation of working with local greats Dave Simonett and Erik Koskinen on the new material. The duo then set off on what would be a successful season of touring their second, critically acclaimed album, The Sacred Heart Sessions (Spin: “solemn and humble;” The Bluegrass Situation: “deeply felt”), and a new-old-time record, I Reckon I’m Fixin’ On Kickin’ Round To Pick A Little, Vol. 1. In the fall, returning to the midwest to finish up the recordings they had begun a few months prior, Kendl and Palmer found themselves with a whole new batch of songs ready to lay down. After much deliberation, they ambitiously decided the two collections should be released together in 2016. The two records, Fern Girl and Ice Man, as well as Uncertain As It Is Uneven, could be viewed as two windows into the growing and changing world of The Lowest Pair. Uncertain stays the course of their previous releases, being focused on stripped down, intimate arrangements to support their timeless songwriting and haunting vocals. Fern Girl is a more moody and adventurous exploration of new sounds, new studio production directions, and what it might sound like for The Lowest Pair to be supported by a full band, while keeping one foot planted in the rootsy aesthetics which drew them together from the beginning. With little attention to tedious practicalities and with an eye focused securely on delivering to their growing fan base a truly special treat; a rootsy, bluegrassy, old-timish version of meiosis has happened as one new album became two new albums. For Kendl, making two albums was a natural reflection of the pace they had set and the experiences they had accumulated. “It’s not that the two records have to be next to and with each other, it’s just that it’s all there, our current story, and the stories we’re figuring out.” Fans already know that the chemistry between Palmer’s Midwestern charm, those long winters spent listening to a steady diet of Townes Van Zandt and John Hartford, and Kendl’s poetic and playful way with words, her unique approach to the banjo, and her barefoot-in- the-cool-river-water mystique combine to make a powerful sound, but what’s new in 2016 is both the inclusion of those non-banjo sounds (harmonica, drum, bass, violin) and an incredible expansion of their songbook. In a way, two records, the playful and the hush, the dark and the rooted, the pillow and the nightmare, the pin drop and the starry night; the juxtaposition of the ups and downs that are experiences in a day, in a year, in a minute, all this has demanded from the band more than just “a new record.” Fern Girl and Ice Man and Uncertain As It Is Uneven mark the arrival of America’s next great musical duo, and it’s over the course of these two albums that that boast becomes clearly rooted in truth.

This episode features musician, artist, and illustrator Tae Won Yu, of the band Kicking Giant. Tae was deeply involved in and influenced by the early Riot Grrrl and do-it-yourself scene in New York, Washington DC, and Olympia, Washington, where he lived for about a decade throughout the 1990s. Tae, and his music, art, and commitment to creating community and connection have long been an inspiration to me.In this conversation Tae thoughtfully shares his unique experience with and understanding of Riot Grrrl, including how he first met Molly Neuman and Allison Wolfe from the band Bratmobile after reading about their zine Girl Germs in Sassy Magazine. We talk about the power of community, self-expression, and the empowering feeling of creating your own scene, identity, and movement. He describes participating in a moment that has been cited as one of Riot Grrrl’s inspirational turning points: Girl Night, featuring all women-front bands, at the International Pop Underground Convention in Olympia in 1991.He also discusses how the generation of artists who lived in Olympia before him helped inspire Riot Grrrl and feminist art in the Pacific Northwest and showed him how to build a life as an artist. Those artists include Calvin Johnson and Candice Peterson of K Records, Nikki McClure, Stella Marrs, Slim Moon of Kill Rock Stars, Jean Smith of Mecca Normal, and Lois Maffeo.Tae’s reflections are a beautiful tribute to the compassionate encouragement that existed in the early 1990s scene in Olympia and an example of creating a life for yourself as an artist and outsider.You can find the re-issued Kicking Giant record, This Being the Ballad of Kicking Giant, Halo: NYC/Olympia 1989-1993, at Drawing Room Records. If you want to hear more about the early Riot Grrrl scene, Tae is also featured on the podcast Girl Germs, which focuses on Bratmobile’s first album of the same name.Follow Tae on Instagram on his personal account @Taewonyu and his incredible archive of photos from the Olympia scene at @summer_guitars. This episode features the song “Half Lie” by Taleen Kali.

Many of our favorite businesses were built out of someone loving something and then figuring out how to make it better. Yvon Chouinard created Patagonia because he loved rock climbing, hiking, and being outdoors.  Everything else stemmed from that. Ben & Jerry loved ice cream, Jake Carpenter of Burton snowboards just wanted to find the perfect ride.  There are lots of reasons for someone to start a business but loving something and then working to make it better is one of the most fulfilling.  If you own a business, why did you start yours?  What do your love and how are you making it better?  The answers can drive you and frame the direction you go in the future. Our guest today loves music.  Specifically, early 90’s grunge and all of the many steps in it’s evolution into modern Indie Rock.  The way he found to make it better was to start a small record label.  To find artists he loved and help spread their music to as many people as possible.  Ben Swanson built Secretly Canadian based on a search for the right sound.  Now he helps hundreds of artists around the world record, brand, and share their music with as many ears as possible. We’re glad you joined us! Listen Here: Here are some highlights: What childhood memories led Ben to starting­­­­­­­­ Secretly? (1:59) Ben grew up with his older brother Chris in Fargo, North Dakota.  His dad and his uncle built a vitamin supplement business from their garage.  Ben remembers his dad in the garage pouring powder into tiny capsules by hand.  That company is now Swanson Health Products one of the largest vitamin suppliers in the world. Ben’s dad loved music and he would take them to shows sometimes.  Fargo happened to be a stop over for bands as they traveled to the Northwest so they had the chance to see a lot of shows.  In the late 80’s early 90’s, Ben was a teenager and was able to see tons of the bands that seeded the Seattle grunge explosion of the early 90’s. He started collecting albums and paying attention to the music that certain labels put out. Eventually, his brother Chris moved to Bloomington IN for college.  Ben followed two years later and they decided it would be fun to try and start their own music label. They dug into the explosion of independent music but also loved the catalogs of labels like K Records and Discord. They finally started to figure out how to physically make records and cassettes.  Then they would go to shows of musicians they loved and see if the musician would let them be the ones to manufacture and market the album.  Their first taker was June Panic and then Songs: Ohia followed. How do you attract artists? (11:07) For Ben, it’s all about just being a fan first.  Artists tend to want people surrounding them that understand and get what they’re doing.  Ben has always just approached it that way. What’s the story behind the name Secretly Canadian? (14:05) Being from Fargo, North Dakota Ben had a connection with Canada.  They really loved and connected with a ton of Canadian talent, from music to comedy and beyond.  They started joking around about the fact that all good things must be secretly Canadian.  What’s it’s like to work with your brother? (15:35) There are definitely pros and cons.  The hard part is getting over the big brother little brother stuff.  Ben happens to be the little brother.  One positive is the short-hands that they speak.  They can get really heated and then get over it and move on.  Sometimes that would devolve into wrestling.  One of Ben’s favorite moments is when he finally won one of those wrestling matches. What does Secretly look like today? (18:18) They are a global music company.  They’re a record label, the Master side helping artist to write and pitch the music they create, physical and digital distribution throughout the world, an artist management service, and a vinyl plant. What kind of artist is an ideal client? (21:13) Incredible musician, incredible artist, smart person, sells a few records.  The bottom line is that Ben wants to love the artists music.  It can work out from there. Secretly represents Indy music artists primarily but they dig into tons of genres. What are traits of successful and unsuccessful artists? (23:35) Bands can really easily get in their bubble.  The good ones are able to connect with others.  Other artists, other industry folks, whoever will listen.  You have to reach out and build relationships.  The more you can get to know people and the industry the better you’ll do. How does it feel to own a multi-national business? Weird. What is similar and different between you and Richard Branson? Ben really likes how fearless Richard is.  He gets into a lot of different spaces, builds a lot of brands, and is always ready to grow.  That’s a similarity. Richard Branson is a totally outgoing guy with tons of other people running the show.  Ben is simply a part of the team.  His hands are on most things in a way that certainly is different than Virgin Records. A book we should totally read? The 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss An artist that we should listen to? Serpent with Feet What are the key types of people musicians should connect with? Other artists are the low hanging fruit.  Connecting with an established artist or two is the key.  Labels like Secretly hear about new artists all the time from their existing artists. What’s Secretly look like in 5 years? Not necessarily bigger, but more streamlined.  Finding ways to sta­­­­y interested by chasing new ideas but not getting too sidetracked from the core mission. Special thanks to Ben Swanson for taking the time to share the Secretly Canadian story with us. The show was produced and edited by me Jeremy Goodrich. The music is by my high school buddy Mark VInten and Secretly group artists June Panic, Songs: Ohia, Bon Iver and Serpent with Feet.

Jaybo sat down at a Seattle Teahouse and got the history of Olympia Wa's The Young Pioneers from guitarist Brad Sweek. They Have a record coming out on K Records called "High Again". Their sound is spooky,cool and melodic. The new Single "Sick Inside" is fucking great. We talk about a range of topics including Slayer, Dead Moon, Shannon Perry and the club formerly known as Tropicana. This interview is totally epic. I was happy to do it. Recorded at The Panama Hotel in grey and rainy Seattle WA the month of December 2016. Enjoy!

On today's episode I talk to musician Barbara Manning. Barbara is prolific songwriter originally from California, where she spent part of her childhood on a commune. While attending Chico State University in 1983, Manning played bass with the seminal jangle-pop band 28th Day, and since then she's recorded a number of albums under her own name and has played with and fronted a number of amazing bands including World of Pooh, SF Seals, The Go-Luckys!. She's collaborated with everyone from Jon Langford of The Mekons to The Magnetic Fields' Stephen Merritt, and her albums have been released by some of the best indie labels around including SubPop, K Records, Matador and Teenbeat.

1992. On sortait de longues années de Cock Robin, de Genesis et de Dire Straits en boucle sur MTV, on ne savait pas jouer de musique, on était mal fringués et on se considérait déjà comme des outsiders alors qu’on avait l’âge de faire des projets irréalistes. La société nous a d’ailleurs donné raison en nous labellisant « génération perdue ». Et c’est pour ça qu’on a écouté Nevermind encore et encore, à en user symétriquement le CD et la platine. Il y a probablement un côté embarrassant à tout statut d’icône, mais un loser nous a juste dit que – hey – c’était pareil chez lui à Seattle et que c’était ok, il s’en était sorti (ce qui s’est avéré être un mensonge). Il nous a même refilé deux ou trois tips pour écouter d’autres trucs qu’on ne connaissait pas parce que c’était bien planqué sous la guimauve. Les Melvins, les Meat Puppets, Daniel Johnston, les Vaselines, K Records, les Riot Grrrls, Shocking Blue ... bref, on parle de ce disque qui a coûté 606,17 $, de théorie du complot et d’un mec qui montre sa kike à 26 millions de personnes. PLAYLIST : Breed School If you must Negative creep In bloom Territorial pissings Smells like top of the pops You know you’re right About a girl Lake of fire (unplugged) Sliver Dumb Frances Farmer will have her revenge on Seattle

Welcome to Episode 18 of Nerd Monster Radio, with me your host, Jose Aparicio, of NerdMonster.net. This week's episode is late, due to the holidays and because I had more or less prepped this playlist last week, but the whole Furgeson thing bummed me out. So this week with rain in LA I'm once again feeling the twee aspect of this playlist. Mostly some older tracks with a few new items, one Japanese song, and several old K Records tunes are sprinkled in here for your enjoyment.

In the fall of 2001, Phil Elverum released the album The Glow Pt 2 on K Records. Pitchfork named it the best album of the year. In this episode, Phil recounts how he created the first song on the record at Dub Narcotic Studio. He spoke with me from his home in Anacortes, Washington, about his love of being alone in the studio, evoking nature through music, and where the name The Microphones came from. Plus a few words from Calvin Johnson, the founder of K Records. This episode is presented in conjunction with The Creators Project.   

On today's show, I talk to musician Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn. Originally from the outskirts of Philly, Mirah moved to Olympia, Washington to attend college, and while there, became part of the local music scene, where she worked with bands like The Microphones and Old Time Relijun. In the late 1990s, she started making music on her own, and her first album You Think It's Like This but Really It's Like This was released on K Records. Mirah's continued to work with them, and her latest album Changing Light was just released on Absolute Magnitude Records, an imprint of K, and it is spectacular!Check out the website for Beginnings, subscribe on iTunes, and follow me on Twitter!

We're driving across the new Bay Bridge and talk about comedy in Olympia and the Bay, major injuries, theater, the early days of punk, and of course K Records (including the Neo Boys reissue).

Special LIVE interview with K Records' Jeremy Jay. He called in from Portland about half way through the show and we had a nice/somewhat awkward conversation. I played eight (8!) of his songs, a Folk Implosion song (guess which one), an Eric's Trip song, "Stop or Start" by Fine Mist and "Here Comes The Summer" by the Fiery Furnaces. It was an exciting 63 minutes!

This podcast was recorded over the course of 5 days while on my recent vacation to the Gulf coast of Florida. Cut off from every last one of the internets, all I had was my trusty iRiver - so the sound quality is a little worse than normal. Also, it's long. Clocking in a just over an hour, this show is twice the usual length. You've been warned! Also, my wife Ryn makes her Random Signal debut.For obvious reasons, I had hoped to have this uploaded on May 1.
