Podcast appearances and mentions of Mika Miko

I'm really into this notion of music being your friend for life and how certain songs represent a particular point in your life, good or bad. There's one song that sticks in my mind which represents such a dark time in my life. And now, looking back at it, I can see how much I've changed and sometimes it's hard to play that song. I've played and sang other composer's songs in front of people - let's just say that it was a few years ago – and I know that if I sang them now, it would be like getting into a time transporter, but the part I'm missing is writing those songs and how I'd feel if I'd written them and gone through the massive personal evolution and identity shifts of the last few years? The other thing I've found about shifting identity is presenting your new self, presenting things you've not done before, stuff you've not talked about before. It's interesting how some people will be used to the “old” version of you and how they react to the “new” version of you – or perhaps that should read the “real” version of you. And whether the people, whose reaction to all of these things we fear, do actually give a fuck and how we are perceived is all in our mind. Moreover, why should I care? I went through all of this when I started doing this podcast, started writing, started doing graphic design…ok, so I basically get this whenever I start anything new!Jennifer Clavin has written and released music over the last 20 years or so, with Mika Miko and Bleached, that is raw, beautifully exhilarating and has that ability to take you to your own time and place – I find this so powerful - and is now steadily releasing a bunch self-recorded, stripped down, incredibly personal, lo-fi songs as “dear francis”, the latest evolution in an emotional musical story.https://www.iwannajumplikedeedee.comI Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is the music podcast that does music interviews differently.

It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a three parter anyways. 1995 was not a massive year for horror movies but if you are into sci-fi horror & sci-fi well then this is gonna be a bonanza for you.

Some awesome mates. Some special guests. Several pints of beer and a 5+ hour running time split over 4 episodes.

The Smell has been a home to lots of LA bands and musicians, including artists like No Age, Ty Segall, Mika Miko, Best Coast, Warpaint and Feels.

Friend and Musician Jennifer Clavin (Bleached, Mika Miko) shares her story about her sobriety and how her experience performing, writing music and living life has changed since making the decision to get sober. We also meet her adorable dog son, Benny, who discovers something in my house. 

On today's episode I talk to Jennifer and Jessica Clavin of the indie rock band Bleached. Born in California and based in Los Angeles, Jessica and Jennifer began playing music as teenagers, and eventually formed the punk band Mika Miko in 2003. The band released a number of albums and EPs on labels like Sub Pop and Kill Rock Stars, but broke up in 2009 due to band members' wishes to return to school and work on other projects. Two years later, Jessica and Jennifer formed Bleached, and since then have released three albums on Dead Oceans, including their latest Don’t You Think You’ve Had Enough?, which is out tomorrow! This is the website for Beginnings, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, follow me on Twitter.

Since dropping out of high school in 2003 Jennifer Clavin has been involved with one cool buzzy punk project after another. Beginning as the singer for underground heroes Mika Miko, followed by a stint drumming for Best Coast, she eventually went off the grid and started her current and most successful project Bleached.  Since starting this podcast I’ve become interested in why there aren’t more bands comprised of women. Obviously Jennifer doesn’t have the the whole answer but she articulated some interesting thoughts on the matter and I'm glad I brought it up. But it still makes me wonder. Why do people bring it up so much? Why did I? A few weeks ago I cruised over to her house outside Pasadena to drink La Croix, talk about the seducing world of punk rock, and figure out why the members of Mika Miko, a band with so much promise decided to call it quits.   

This week, I’m out in sunny Los Angeles, so we’re playing some of my favorite LA bands: No Age, Mika Miko, and of course, Best Coast (though I have to admit- I still think the East Coast is the best coast.  Seasons, right!?!?).  We’ve also got a ton of great new music on the show, including the very strange and exciting multi-instrumentalist Nnamdi Ogbannaya from Chicago.  Plus, we even do a set of 2000s second-wave shoe gaze with the likes of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart.  Stay tuned! 00:00 - DJ Madalyn 00:59 - Boredom (Live) - Buzzcocks 04:01 - No One Stands Me - Reatards 06:26 - That’s Your Call - Gauntlet Hair 10:09 - Empty Head - Blank Square 13:16 - DJ Madalyn 13:32 - Sex Jazz - Mika Miko 16:33 - Cool Jumper - Wavves 22:24 - Glitter - No Age 26:12 - Shadow of Your Love - La Sera 29:20 - DJ Madalyn 29:32 - Sun Hands - Local Natives 34:17 - Up All Night - Best Coast 38:20 - Happy Song - Sun Araw, M.

Woah, is it really October already?! Judging by the clock at the bottom right of my computer screen and the flannel shirt wrapped around my torso, it must be. Where has all the time gone? It seems like April was only a few minutes ago, and now the year is damn near over. I've been to a bunch of shows, crossed a couple of folks off my live bucket list (New York Dolls, Wanda Jackson), and spent probably a few grand on records, and what do I have to show for it? Slightly more damaged eardrums and a whole buncha physical media that will be a real pain in the ass to lift if I ever move into a new place, I reckon. Seriously though, 2011 might have already topped 2010 as one of the best music years since the mid-90s, and it's not over yet!Random Old Records Podcast #36 is out now, and it's loaded with just over an hour of jams, starting off with the raging opening salvo from Let's Wrestle's new LP, "In Dreams Part II." It sounds so much like the aforementioned mid-90s that you'd swear that 15+ years of godawful over-produced mainstream rock didn't kill good music after all and that the kids really and truly are alright. The kids really ARE alright, even though their space phone zombie walks and Twitter posts suggest otherwise. Forget about the waves of whiny bedroom folk and trendy corporate "garage rock" wannabes, there's real and VITAL rock n' roll still being cranked out by the truckload all over the world. No better example can be found than the second track on this here podcast, a sizzling blast from the brand new 10" LP from smooth punk titans Bare Wires, who continue their unparalleled streak of insta-classic bangers with "Sweet Little Stranger." That nasty fuzz and snarling vocal might just lift you out of your plush computer chair, Mr. Internet cynic!Elsewhere, you'll hear the lead-off single from the Strange Boys' highly anticipated new LP out in a few weeks, which finds the Austin garage rockers moving even closer to that Exile On Main Street vibe, another perfect 80s pop jam from the new Dum Dum Girls album, some delightfully evil synth punk from Swedish noise terrorists Black Bug, a fuzzed-out Beach Boys homage from Moonhearts mainman Mikal Cronin's debut solo nod on Trouble In Mind, some obnoxious analog oscillations from California's Blasted Canyons, some dusty reverb rock from Texas teenagers Fungi Girls, and a catchy beach-pop latecomer from the former Mika Miko members in Bleached. Random Old Records #36 finishes up with 18 or so minutes of classic mid-90s indie rock from Material Issue, Hazel, The Spinanes, and Sebadoh, who I'll be glad to cross off that live show bucket list in a couple weeks. Bakesale was released 17 years ago, and if that's not enough to make a guy feel old, I don't know what does. In between the tracks, you’ll hear a series of spooky inserts from “Death Of A Doll,” an episode of Inner Sanctum Mysteries originally aired October 18th, 1948. Right in time for Halloween, it will send a chill up your back!Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to Random Old Records via Apple Podcasts, Google Play, or RSS.
