Indie rock pioneers Clap Your Hands Say Yeah are celebrating 20 years with a special reissue. But what's the real story behind their unconventional rise to fame? In this episode of LaunchLeft, host Rain Phoenix and CYHSY frontman Alec Ounsworth, meet at Licorice Pizza in Studio City to unpack the band's journey from DIY darlings to indie rock icons. They touch on CYHSY's decision to remain unsigned. It wasn't just about rebellion, it was a commitment to artistic integrity that shaped their entire career. Ounsworth candidly discusses how his stubborn streak both helped and hindered the band's trajectory. Twenty years on, Alec reflects on how his views on collaboration and the music industry have matured. Alec then launches the up-and-coming Philly band Knifeplay, who'll be supporting CYHSY on tour. The generational exchange offers a fascinating glimpse into how the indie landscape has shifted. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the evolution of indie music and the challenges of maintaining artistic authenticity in a changing industry. IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) Intro: LaunchLeft podcast with Rain Phoenix (05:03) Early 2000s indie music scene and industry changes (10:27) Alec's approach to independence and a discussion about self-sabotage (15:00) CHYSY’s approach to music videos (20:55) Alec's songwriting process and lyrical influences (31:40) Knifeplay is launched and TJ joins the conversation (34:58) TJ's musical influences and background (37:37) Using social media as musicians in a digital landscape (43:24) TJ's balanced approach to using social media (48:40) Authenticity and sustainability in music careers KEY TAKEAWAYS: Maintaining artistic integrity can be challenging but is crucial for genuine connection with audiences. The music industry has seen significant changes, making it harder for new artists to break through. Collaboration can be a way for artists to promote each other and expand their audience. Social media presents both opportunities and challenges for musicians striving to balance authenticity with promotion.

A heady blend of leftfield pop and melodic, exuberant indie rock, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is unquestionably among the finest and most influential independent releases of the 2000s. The celebration officially gets underway with the premiere of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah’s original 2004 version of the fan favorite, “Heavy Metal”. The newly remixed and mastered track was recently discovered among the original project files and captures what Clap Your Hands Say Yeah founder and frontman Alec Ounsworth calls “a special moment in time – a young group of guys all piling into one hotel room to wake up and go to a real studio (!) to try to come up with something special just for the fun of it.” In addition to the digital anniversary release featuring the original version of “Heavy Metal,” a special deluxe reissue will arrive on limited edition vinyl LP in early 2025, released on CYHSY’s own label via Secretly Distribution, the defiantly independent home to over two decades of Alec Ounsworth’s music. Knifeplay is a band that eludes definition, existing somewhere between the nihilistic detachment of shoegaze and the emotional honesty of folk songwriting. Originally a solo bedroom recording project of Tj Strohmer’s, they’ve made a slow and careful shift into a collaborative, production focused, studio recorded band. Through their ever-expanding genre palette, range of fidelities, and long list of collaborators runs a unique current that ties everything together. Informed by his experiences living in Philadelphia and their contrast with his rural southern Maryland upbringing, Strohmer’s sometimes straightforward, sometimes dreamlike, but always philosophical lyrics feature scenes of darkness from many different aspects of life. He deals with themes of death, drugs, heartbreak, abuse, and self-destruction, all expressed through a delicate vocal style, which, combined with the band’s lush orchestral instrumentation gives a beautiful lightness to the heavy subject matter. Since their 2017 debut of home-recorded EPs, Knifeplay have earned a dedicated cult following through acclaimed debut album Pearlty (2019) and a lengthy B-Sides Compilation (2020), all either self-released or through small run tape labels. In 2021 they entered the studio with producer Jeff Zeigler, known for his work with Kurt Vile, Nothing, The War on Drugs, and more, first producing the Hurt Someone EP (Born Losers Records) before recording their upcoming sophomore full-length, Animal Drowning, to be released via Topshelf Records on October 19, 2022.

The UK rock scene is clearly alive and well since two of this week's buzziest albums come from bands across the pond. On the latest Indiecast episode, hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen share their thoughts on the much-hyped albums from two UK artists: Arctic Monkeys' The Car (28:42) and Dry Cleaning's Stumpwork (40:34).Because it's MLB playoffs this week, Steven and Ian bring back Sportscast with some obligatory baseball banter (:25). They talk the Padres and the legacy of San Diego's music scene. The city is not only Blink-182's hometown, but it's also known as the breeding ground for ska bands like Slightly Stoopid and Sublime.In this week's Recommendation Corner (49:56), Ian mentions the Philly band Knifeplay, whose new album Animal Drowning manages to pull off a a darker edge that's missing in most modern sheogaze. Meanwhile, Steven shouts out Field Medic, who writes lo-fi Bob Dylan-inspired music that carry heavy subject matters on the new album Grow Your Hair Long If You're Wanting to See Something That You Can Change.New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

Wie zijn de mensen die het beleven: Knifeplay, needleplay en bloodplay. Is er ruimte voor begrip… of oordeelt zelfs de fetish-scene… en Wat is O-negatief? Hoe overwin je je angst voor naalden en hoe is edge/knife play wellicht heilzaam. Wat is de missie van Vetitus en wat is de link met ‘de schreeuw' van Edward Munch… En hoe communiceer je BDSM via kunst. In deze aflevering praat ik daarover met Bas en Saded, oprichters van Vetitus… Meer over Vetitus: vetitus.nl en op instagram: instagram.com/kappe.nou NB: Deze podcast is afgemixd om te beluisteren op een mobile device, zoals een smartphone of tablet SinQuest is een niet commercieel initiatief om middels een podcast mensen een veilig en open gender neutraal platform te bieden, waar vrijuit gesproken wordt over sexualiteit, met name gerelateerd aan fetish en SM / BDSM gevoelens. https://www.sinquest.nl

We represent hourly workers including bussers, hosts, dishwashers, line cooks, servers, baristas, prep cooks, and more. It is our mission to support, uplift, and aid fellow Oakland food service workers and their families during this global pandemic.Hundreds of restaurants, coffee shops and catering companies have all shut down or drastically reduced hours due to the COVID-19 crisis, leaving thousands of Oakland food service workers unemployed and without means to pay their bills + rent!! In some cases, businesses-including restaurant kitchens-have continued to operate, leaving their staff with the unfair choice of risking their health/their family/their community’s health and safety in order to work for pay, without offering paid leave for those who cannot work.WORKERS:If you are a food service worker living or working in Oakland, CA impacted by the COVID-19 crisis + shutdowns, please apply!!DONORS:If you have not lost your job due to the COVID-19 crisis, and you are able to work from home, are on salary, or are in any position to make even a small donation, your support will make a difference to workers by providing them the monetary means to pay their bills, pay their rent or buy groceries.We will provide cash relief in set denominations based on urgency+certain criteria.

Das Spiel mit Angst und Nervenkitzel ist in der Szene allgegenwärtig. Ob in Rollenspiel, als kleines extra in einer Session oder auch einfach als Objekt finden vor allem Messer dabei häufig Verwendung. Aber auch Pistolen, Gewehre oder andere Arten von Waffen können eine ähnliche Wirkung haben. Allerdings sind diese oft eher verpönt. Wir reden darüber, wie man gefährliche Dinge, sicher für die eigene Lust einsetzten kann und räumen mit einpaar Vorurteilen auf.
