This week, we start a new series all about appreciating the shredded, gravelly, gritty, raspy pipes and throats of rock n' roll. We are focusing on lead singers who crafted truly special tones with their sandpapered delivery. Join us in celebrating these unique sets of pipes that set them apart from all the others. Anyone can scream, but only a few deliver gravel, grit & glory!What's this InObscuria thing? We're a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. Our appreciation, this week, of rough and textured singing extends to all of the genres that we love. Kevin never realized how much this style of vocalizing had an impact on him until putting this whole thing together. As always, we hope we turn you onto something new!Songs this week include:Metal Church – “Ton Of Bricks” from The Dark (1986)Hot Water Music – “Trademark” from Fuel For The Hate Game (1997)Love/Hate – “Blackout In The Red Room” from Blackout In The Red Room (1990)The Baboon Show – “Gold” from God Bless You All (2022)Grave Digger – “Hymn Of The Damned” from The Living Dead (2018)The Distillers – “Die On A Rope” from Coral Fang (2003)Asomvel – “Born To Rock ‘n' Roll” from Born To Rock ‘n' Roll(2024)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://x.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/inobscuria/og-shopCheck out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/

The folks at Vermont-based medtech startup Aprexis are no strangers to the definition of persistence.  This is the just the start of why the podcast desired to talk with co-founders Mike Howe, Rob Squire and Carrie LeCompte.   In this episode you'll learn the importance for rooting a medtech solutions company from the clinicians perspective.  We spoke at length regarding the challenges unique to medtech software firms, namely the challenge to working in an iterative technology that comes up against regulatory imperatives for launching fully developed.  We defined MTM or medication therapy management and discussed the growing marketplace as professionals in pharmacology work with a growing geriatric population in an ever-expanding pharma-marketplace.  And in The Jazz Room… We met pianist/composer, Orrin Evans at the Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival. In part one of this interview we talk about his CD “The Red Door”, the meaning of Red, the Jazz Train and Jazz elders.

This is a different kind of episode, introducing you to Aisha von Nahmmacher, who works with me on rooted healing and we, last minute as ever, decided to record a bonus episode of sorts in honour of the solstice and to mark our full cycle of work together.Aisha is a documentary producer currently delving into hidden ancestral practices in Britain and Ireland.  She's also a yoga teacher who fuses the mycelial realm regularly into her work, and she was the curator of our gathering Forestlings, which was a joyous, playful exploration of autumns' delightful wisdom. So it goes without saying that Aisha is an avid plant + fungi medicine advocate who is also burrowing away to help Rooted Healing grow more roots.  You may be hearing more from her as this new cycle of the podcast unfurls…We went on a meandering escapade through the landscapes of solstices, ancestral stones, ceremony and psilocybin.  We spoke of going into the darkness at this potent time and so at the end of this episode we've woven in a beautiful song called Let the Light In by Bonnie Medicine from her new album Wide Open.  Head to rootedhealing.org to explore our gatherings and upcoming online course ‘Deepen Your Roots'.  The course begins on Imbolc so it could be a potent time to enrol now amidst the solstice, planting those intentions.Thank you Mike Howe and Chris Park for your music ongoing music contributions.Support the show

In this episode I am joined with Nici Harrison, our first ever repeat guest, which marks 2 years of the podcast.  After our first ever episode, ‘the art of grief tending' back in 2021, I have taken part in one of Nici's online 3 month apprenticeship programmes, and more recently we have worked together on her grief retreat this year and have become dear friends… we are now merging our work into an exciting new collaboration next year.  In this episode we dive into more nuanced topics, exploring how collective grief relates to our own sorrows, the psychedelic or liminal nature of deep grief and the relationship between grief and plant or fungi medicine ceremonies. This conversation will give you a sense of why we have formed this new partnership and a glimpse into the potential psilocybin has to support the tending of our grief.  Nici is a beloved grief worker, speaker and founder of The Grief Space. Through her own deep experiences of loss, she came to recognise that our modern culture has forgotten how to grieve. Over the years, Nici has been blessed to learn from great teachers, experience beautiful grief rituals and familiarise herself with traditions and practices of tending to grief. Her work is built on the foundation that grief is sacred and is a radical gateway to a deeper appreciation of life.  Originating from the root word ‘tenderness', grief tending invites us to bring compassion to our grief, as we would to a small child or a wild garden. Grief tending is the understanding that to be human is to know loss. It is the practice of welcoming grief so that we can keep our hearts open to life. It is coming home to the recognition that we all have grief, whether it's for the losses in our lives, the unmet longings or the sorrows of the world.Grief tending is the understanding that our earth needs us to grieve, just as it needs us to pay attention. It is the trust that when we grieve and allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we open ourselves to connection, authenticity and intimacy. As we remember the lost art of grief tending where all is welcomed, we restore our connection to each other, ourselves and the earth. We emerge with the capacity to hold it all; love and loss, grief and gratitude; life and death.The collaboration we are referring to is the mergence of our signature psilocybin retreat ‘Earth Medicine' with the art of grief tending.  So in May next year - 2024, we are holding this first alchemised marriage of work that feels so naturally suited.  If you are curious and would like to learn more, head to rootedhealing.org/earth-medicine-grief-tending.Nici is also a special guest on our upcoming  ‘Deepen Your Roots' course,  which is our year-long slow-study weaving deep ecology, ‘the work that reconnects', and a folkloric, animistic exploration into the ecological self rewoven with place.

Sophie Strand is a writer based in the Hudson Valley who focuses on the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and ecology.  It would probably be more authentic to call her a neo-troubadour animist with a propensity to spin yarns that inevitably turn into love stories.  Her first book of essays The Flowering Wand: Rewilding the Sacred Masculine invites masculine mythic and religious archetypes into more nuanced, complex ways of dealing with trauma, growth, and self-knowledge, rerooting them back into their original ecology.Sharing the culmination of eight years of research into myth, folklore, and the history of religion, Sophie leads us back into the forgotten landscapes and hidden secrets of familiar myths.  Her eco-feminist historical fiction reimagining of the gospels The Madonna Secret will also be out this year.  Her books of poetry include Love Song to a Blue God and Those Other Flowers to Come and The Approach.  We talk about the renaissance of animism, rewilding our cycles and selves into the landscape, and redefining health or healing through the lens of chronic illness and ecology.  We also touch on queer ecology and the context behind her wonderful books.

NEWSLinks Mentioned In The ShowOZZY OSBOURNE Says '13' 'Wasn't Really A BLACK SABBATH Album' - BLABBERMOUTH.NET - OZZY OSBOURNE Says '13' 'Wasn't Really A BLACK SABBATH Album' "Not really, because, to be perfectly honest, I didn't really get a charge from the album. Although [producer] Rick Rubin is a good friend of mine, I wasn't really… I was just singing. It was like stepping back in time, but it wasn't a glorious period. Though Geezer [Butler, BLACK SABBATH bassist] did a lot of lyric writing for me, which he's very, very good at. It wasn't an earth-shattering experience for me." He did say he regrets Bill Ward not being a part of the final album, and has said that Sabbath is done. We'll see. DAVID LEE ROTH Shares Newly Recorded Version Of VAN HALEN's 'Dance The Night Away' - BLABBERMOUTH.NET - David Lee Roth is releasing lounge lizard versions of old VH songs: Dance the night away, Panama & Ain't talking 'bout love.

"I had written a new record and Mike and I had just begun the process before he passed," he explained. "So I had a lot of material on hand. I also wanted to complete the album in honor of him.

She is a leader of vision quests and rites of passage, with a background in humanistic psychology and earth-based spiritual traditions, having been apprenticed in Native American practices in the 1980's and more recently in Guatemalan Mayan teachings, and Annie weaves these with the traditions of the land in Britain.
