This week we sit down with the amaizing Kim Coletta! Kim bought her first bass from David Grubbs (Squirrelbait, Bastro, Gastr del Sol) when they both attended college in Washington, DC. After graduating, much to her father's chagrin, she started Jawbox with J. Robbins and Adam Wade. Shortly after, Coletta founded DeSoto Records to put out Edsel and early Jawbox material. Although Jawbox took a long hiatus starting in 1997, they reunited in 2018 and have since toured the U.S. and Europe. All told, the band has played around 700 live shows. Coletta works as a fifth-grade English teacher when she's not playing bass and coaches baseball. She is also a parent to Nick, a 21-year-old University of Vermont student who squeezes in some academics when not snowboarding. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In episode 17 of Accolades Video Series I talk to Kim Coletta (Jawbox) about Nellie Bly, a journalist, industrialist, inventor and charity worker from Cochran's Mills, Pennsylvania, United States. She was widely known for her record breaking trip around the world in 72 days, in emulation of Jules Verne's fictional character Phileas Fogg. She was a pioneer in her field and launched a new kind of investigative journalism.

Kim Coletta saw her band Jawbox go from Dischord Records to a major label record deal before breaking up in the late 90s. Faced with uncertainty as to what came next, Kim went to library school before realizing that cataloguing in archives was not actually what she wanted to do. Luckily, an opportunity presented itself at an all-boys private school in Maryland, and Kim has thrived for many years as a teacher of multiple subjects and grades, sports coach and tech director. Kim's punk rock background mixed with the ability to keep the room in line (even Charlie in this interview), has led to a successful career, even as Jawbox began playing again. We discuss relating to your students, teaching in the same school as your son (who does NOT think your band is cool) and Ian MacKaye's softball skills.
