This is episode 2 of our mini-series of conversations compiled around a different theme each episode. This week we dive into the business of DIY, and stories of different artists that have built successful, sustainable careers outside of the major label, stereotypical "right" career path. We hear from Jesse Boykins III talk about leaving and standing up to Def Jam Records and Universal Publishing, Laura Veirs on owning her publishing throughout and starting her own label, the blue collar DIY sustainability that Joe Pug has mastered, and how BJ Barham (American Aquarium) has managed to build a six-figure DIY empire (both record sales/touring and merch)!You can find a link to our full conversations with each of them below, and playlists of other past conversations grouped by topic on our YouTube channel, also below.Get more access and support this show by subscribing to our Patreon, right here.Links:Jesse Boykins III - episode 67Laura Veirs - episode 44Joe Pug - episode 10BJ Barham - episode 7Click here to watch this conversation on YouTube.Social Media:The Other 22 Hours InstagramThe Other 22 Hours TikTokMichaela Anne InstagramAaron Shafer-Haiss InstagramAll music written, performed, and produced by Aaron Shafer-Haiss.

We're very excited to have the opportunity to chat with Katherine Yeske Taylor, author of the new book She's a Badass: Women in Rock Shaping Feminism, available now from Backbeat Books. In the book, Katherine talks to 20 musicians, from legends like Ann Wilson, Gina Schock, Suzi Quatro, Exene Cervenka, Amy Ray to younger artists like Tobi Vail, Laura Veirs, Orianthi, and Fefe Dobson about what it means to be a woman in the music industry and how ideas of feminism have changed over the decades. In our interview, we learn about the Atlanta- and Athens-area music scenes where Katherine got her start in journalism in high school, how this book came about and developed, and some of the things that surprised Katherine as she interviewed them badasses.  Purchase your copy of She's a Badass HERE Follow Katherine on her Socials: https://www.facebook.com/katherine.yeske.taylor  https://www.instagram.com/kyt_in_nyc/  https://www.threads.net/@kyt_in_nyc  Please let us know what you thought of this episode! Drop us a line at modernmusicology1@gmail.com or leave a comment wherever you find our episode and let us know!

In She's a Badass, music journalist Katherine Yeske Taylor interviews twenty significant and compelling women in rock, devoting an entire chapter to each one, taking an in-depth look at the incredible talent, determination—and, often, humor—they needed to succeed in their careers (and life). Interviewees range from legendary artists through notable up-and-comers: Suzi Quatro, Ann Wilson (Heart), Exene Cervenka (X), Gina Schock (The Go-Go's), Lydia Lunch, Suzanne Vega, Cherie Currie (The Runaways), Joan Osborne, Donita Sparks (L7), Amy Ray (Indigo Girls), Tanya Donelly (Throwing Muses/The Breeders/Belly), Paula Cole, Tobi Vail (Bikini Kill), Laura Veirs, Catherine Popper, Amanda Palmer, Bonnie Bloomgarden (Death Valley Girls), Orianthi, Fefe Dobson, and Sade Sanchez (L.A. Witch). Their experiences reveal the varied and unique challenges these women have faced, how they overcame them, and what they think still needs to be done to continue making progress on the equality front. Their stories prove that promoting feminism—either through activism or by living example—is undeniably badass. A very special Afterword is included from Susan Rogers, the longtime in-house recording engineer for Prince. Feminism has always been a complex and controversial topic, as female rock musicians know especially well. Over the course of the twenty conversations artists such as Ann Wilson share their experience and views on how women are still treated differently than their male counterparts and that it still happens "...constantly. All the time,” Wilson tells Yeske Taylor, adding, "By standing up and being bold and not being submissive, do females go against the very basis of their gender, as it applies to culture? If they do, then that's called being rebellious.” And, as Tobi Vail of Bikini Kill notes in her chapter, that element of rebellion remains necessary to this day: “If you look at history, you can see that progress is not linear; it goes back and forth, You never know when [progress] is going to go backwards, so you always have to be fighting. You have to be aware that rights we do have were achieved through political struggle. You can't take them for granted.”

This week, we had the absolute pleasure of talking to Katherine Yeske Taylor about her new book "She's a Badass: Women in Rock Shaping Feminism" which is coming out tomorrow! Throughout the 20 chapters, she interviewed fundamental women in rock like Suzi Quatro, Ann Wilson (Heart), Exene Cervenka (X), Gina Schock (the Go-Go's), Lydia Lunch, Suzanne Vega, Cherie Currie (The Runaways), Joan Osborne, Donita Sparks (L7), Amy Ray (Indigo Girls), Tanya Donelly (Throwing Muses, the Breeders, Belly), Paula Cole, Tobi Vail (Bikini Kill), Laura Veirs, Catherine Popper, Amanda Palmer, Bonnie Bloomgarden (Death Valley Girls), Orianthi, Fefe Dobson, and Sade Sanchez (L.A. Witch). We talk about the process of writing the book, the struggles of women in the early rock scene, and the fundamental women that shaped the scene. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Autumns, Beach House, The Dears – fucking love The Dears, Dirty Three, Emmy the Great, Fionn Regan Howling Bells, John Grant, Lanterns on the Lake, Laura Veirs, Lift to Experience, Midlake, The Walkman…For the last 25 years, Bella Union have been responsible for bringing me some of the best music I've ever heard. And before that, the label's owner, Simon Raymonde, in tandem with Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie in the immortal Cocteau Twins, was responsible for bringing me even more. I can't imagine what my listening habits would look like without Simon and without Bella Union, and so I'm delighted to speak to him on this episode about all of the above and more. We talk about the band Simon is currently managing – the brilliant Big Joanie – how Bella Union came to be, his thoughts on the legacy of his old band the Cocteau Twins, his feelings on where the record business finds itself in 2023, his forthcoming memoir, and his posthumous relationship with his father, the late, great Ivor Raymonde. How great? I mean, he wrote the Dusty Springfield song 'I Only Want to Be with You'! It's a corker of an episode, this one… Twitter - @jamesjammcmahon Substack - https://spoook.substack.com YouTube - www.youtube.com/channel/UC8Vf_1E1Sza2GUyFNn2zFMA Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/jamesmcmahonmusicpod/

The singer-songwriter Laura Veirs (USA) has played a private house-concert in Göttingen. Afterwards she talked with Andreas Goos about her art and her experiences in Göttingen.

Wohnzimmerkonzerte sind ein Teil der Musiklandschaft. Am 11. Dezember war die US-amerikanische Singer Songwriterin Laura Veirs zu einem Wohnzimmerkonzert in Göttingen zu Gast. Organisiert hatte das Ganze die Göttinger Musikerin Frau Pauli. Im Anschluss an das Konzert hat Andreas Goos mit Laura Veirs über Ihre unterschiedlichen künstlerischen Tätigkeiten und ihre Göttinger Erfahrungen gesprochen.

Oregon-based songwriter Laura Veirs re-discovers her “self-sovereignty” as she calls it, on a new record, Found Light. For this album, Veirs made her first foray into producing on her own, making choices about out-of-sync guitars to create waves, adding saxophone, or calling on friends to be guest artists, and co-produce with her. Mostly, it's about keeping choices mostly simple and direct, and harnessing the power of her dad's nylon string guitar to sublimate her raw emotions from personal upheaval. She plays these intimate songs of artistic independence, remotely. - Caryn Havlik Set list: “Ring Song”, “Naked Hymn”, “Sword Song”, “Time Will Show You” Watch "Ring Song": "Naked Hymn": "Sword Song": "Time Will Show You":

On today's episode, I talk to musician Laura Veirs. Originally from Colorado Springs, Laura first thought she was going to follow her family into the sciences. However, an artistic life called to her, and in 1999, she released her first, self-titled album. Since then, she has released almost a dozen more albums, become an international success, and recorded with Neko Case and K.D. Lang as case/lang/veirs. Her latest album Found Light was just released this summer on Raven Marching Band! This is the website for Beginnings, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, follow me on Twitter.

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!

Press Play continues its second annual series, “Summer Mixtape,” which features musician interviews and custom sets from KCRW DJs. KCRW's  Indie-folk singer Laura Veirs' new album “Found Light” is about heartbreak and hard times. It also explores love of kids, community, friends and family.  Valida Carroll spins an exclusive DJ set inspired by indie-folk musician Laura Veirs. It features songs that communicate sadness, confusion, anger, liberation, and happiness.

Twelve albums in, Laura Veirs is ready for a fresh start. Emerging from a breakup album dealing with the detachment from her husband and longtime producer, Found Light arrives this month like a jolt of light night. It's been a strange and fascinating journey to get here. After studying geology and Mandarin, she threw herself into music full-time and never looked back.nAs a songwriter, she's wildly prolific. For each of the dozen records, a hundred or more songs are written. As processes go, she readily admits it's not the most efficient – but the results speak for themselves.

In this episode, we get to meet Laura Veirs. Laura is a singer-songwriter based in Portland, OR, and she's just released her newest record, Found Light. In this chat, Laura and I talk a lot about this new album, unpacking themes, examining specific songs, and talking about the writing and production - which was her first time ever coproducing her own album. We talk about the tumultuous period of her life that inspired it and its predecessor, My Echo, which included her divorce from longtime partner & collaborator Tucker Martine. We talk about some other odds & ends too, and it was a really nice talk. Thank you for listening.

Singer-songwriter Laura Veirs has something to prove with her latest album, Found Light. After divorce ended her 20-years-long collaborative relationship with her producer husband, Laura not only needed to prove she could create a new album independently, but she needed to be sure of who she was in the world going forward. Laura and Marc talk about love and loss and the power of therapeutic mushrooms. They also talk about how Laura suffers from imposter syndrome when she's around her other collaborators, k.d. lang and Neko Case. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

For Laura Veirs, the songwriting process involves giving the muse a good, long side eye. That's when she's not painting, surfing, reading, or exercising--all while being a  single parent. "I try to do several things at once so nothing becomes too precious or too obsessive," Veirs told me in our interview. 

Laura Veirs is a visual artist, singer and songwriter from Portland, Oregon.  On her newest record Found Light, (out July 8th on Raven Marching Band Records),  she addresses not only the loss of a spouse and working partner to divorce,  but the hardship of breaking away from the intermeshed identity that is the product of a longterm relationship.  In this episode Laura shares her experience of recording alone for the first time, what did and didn't work and why working with a new production partner proved to be a gratifying and liberating step in her career.  Joe and Laura discuss the process of making Found Light, why she's choosing to tour solo and we hear a couple tunes. https://www.lauraveirs.com/https://lauraveirs.bandcamp.com/album/found-lightUse Code Fret10 for a free month of Music Production Suite Pro and a 10% discount on all other software.

Portland songwriter Laura Veirs' new single “Winter Windows” forecasts a new album this summer, “Found Light,” due oout July 8. It's a cathartic experience that embraces her process for shedding skin, stretching into personal liberation after a painful split from her longtime husband and producer and the added stress of a couple of pandemic years, channeled through the sound of  fuzzy guitars and punk energy. 

Today's Song of the Day is "Winter Windows" from Laura Veirs' album, Found Light, out July 8th.

Living in a world where everything seems to be instant gratification, we stop to talk about a concept we have discussed for a long time, the quality that comes with putting in the time to make something that will last.  We refer to one our favorite song lyrics “Make Something  Good,” by Laura Veirs, and discuss everything from cheap furniture, to careers, and of course our most important relationships.  Follow us over on instagram at @dearfriend.podcast

When I sat down with Steve Berlin, the Los Lobos sax player and de facto spokesperson, I was a little more than intrigued. To most people around the world - outside of North America anyways - Los Lobos remain the La Bamba band. How wrong we are.There is a very common thread with the artists we've had on the show - and with longevity - every one of the artists (except so far, Laura Veirs and Maximo Park) had a very big song: James, Turin Brakes, Gary Numan, KT Tunstall…But Los Lobos is the most extreme example of a longevity outfit with a big song - the band had no other hits at all. Taking nothing away from La Bamba - a fine record and a justified number one in ten countries back in 1987. But stop right there. Try Googling, as I did, “Los Lobos, greatest American rock band” and there are more than a few articles examining that hypothesis, for good reasons. Built around the soulful songs of drummer Louis Perez and lead vocal and guitar player David Hidalgo (throw in a few rollicking rockers by Cesar Rosas) Los Lobos make solid, classic Americana-rock, but from a Latin point of view - and a deep rooted connection to traditional Mexican music: cumbia, boleros and norteños. Finally, throw the city of LA into the mix and you have the Los Lobos agenda, musically speaking. It's not surprising that Los Lobos have made a record of cover versions of seminal LA songs (The Beach Boys, Jackson Browne, War, Percy Mayfield) but what is surprising is how long it took to come up with the idea to do just that.“We have a sixth sense of when to do stuff, somehow the muse talks to us. It's important for us to have a boundary - an idea - not just another Los Lobos record. The main thing for us is longevity and being able to do what we do and to answer to nobody other than ourselves, we have such gratitude for that. We have no obligation other than to move forward with our music”. Now that is an agenda for lasting the distance. Yet Steve and I have fun with one idea - for Los Lobos to soundtrack a Netflix (or HBO, or AMC) production of Jaime Hernandez' genius Mexicana soap opera Love & Rockets. What a collaboration that would be.Somebody get Ted Sarandos on the line…it's Steve Berlin calling, from Los Lobos...Support the show (https://www.songsommelier.com)

There's no such thing as a critical review for any of Laura Veirs' 11 albums. But how does Laura measure her own success? The answer is, she doesn't stop to think about it, much. Instead, as one project gets done, she's into the next. A prolific songwriter and increasingly accomplished musician, Laura is constantly moving forward with all the restless energy of a fast flowing river. Perhaps it's because her albums really are like statements of parts of her life. Not many artists are brave enough to put out their first LP as a concept album, but that's what her debut The Triumphs and Travails of Orphan Mae was. Her rise to fame came with 2004's Carbon Glacier, the first of four records steeped in and themed on, nature. Carbon Glacier was earth, Year of Meteors was sky, Saltbreakers was sea and July Flame was...guess what? Fire. If you have never heard July Flame, you've been missing something truly special. But here's the thing...Laura Veirs made her masterpiece in the aftermath of being dropped by a major label (Nonesuch, despite two very decent - and critically revered - albums, with them). And it sold better than anything she'd released up to that point. Sometimes creative peaks are met with commercial peaks and when that happens, the world opens up to artists. It was the beginning of a fruitful independent career with a successful album of children's music Tumble Bee right after July Flame (still brave then). For Laura Veirs the album is the thing - the perfect expression of music as an art form - at least on vinyl. Each album she makes is a complete work, hence those rapturous reviews. The trials of Orphan Mae was a bold opening act, but for Laura Veirs the journey continues…continually brave...album by album, and the song economy be damned! We're with her all the way.Lookout for our forthcoming artist retrospective on Laura but for now, listen in on what makes her tick and how we might have even nudged her into the next project. Whatever it is - it will be four or five stars in all the papers.  With thanks to Mick Clarke for artwork and Andrew James Johnson for editing. Support the show (https://www.songsommelier.com/about)
