Podcast appearances and mentions of ora cogan

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got a pair of songwriters who currently call Canada home, but whose music and backgrounds come from intriguingly different places: Lido Pimienta and Ora Cogan. Lido Pimienta is an incredibly thoughtful, thoroughly outspoken musician/artist who was born in Colombia and whose music takes inspiration from there and a dozen other places. She released her first record in 2010, but it was 2016's experimental-leaning La Papessa that won her both the prestigious Polaris Music Prize and a bigger batch of listeners inspired by her activism and genre-jumping. The laziest comparison might be Björk, so take that for what it's worth. Pimienta's latest album is last year's stirring, strange, and gorgeous La Belleza. Check out the minimal song “Mango” right here. The music made by the other person in today's conversation, Ora Cogan, comes from a different sonic place but I think a similar emotional one. Cogan's new album Hard Hearted Woman takes old-school West Coast singer-songwriter vibes and adds a bit of modern indie-psych edge. I hear influences like Joni Mitchell and Sharon van Etten bubbling under, but there's something a little darker happening in Cogan's songs that's hard to put a finger on but a pleasure to hear. She's finishing up a West Coast US tour at the moment that will end back home in British Columbia, so check her out if you can, and in the meantime, check out the song “The Smoke” from Hard Hearted Woman right here. In this lively conversation, Pimienta and Cogan talk about coffee, Canada, and Pimienta's recent career reset. They also talk about the increasing difficulties of making art in the modern economy, something we've heard from other guests recently as well. But they don't let it get them down—enjoy this chat and their positive energy. 0:00 — Intro 2:46 — Start of conversation 3:29 — On coffee, productivity, fast food, and sugar 6:40 — On “road snacks” and favorite foods while touring abroad 8:00 — On fiddling and Irish and Scottish folk music 10:04 — On safety while crossing borders and making tour travel plans 10:53 — On the importance of music, creativity, and connection today 14:18 — On the contrast between spirituality and the music business 17:23 — On fame and realistic expectations for musicians 21:36 — On Lida's music and how her culture influenced her style 26:13 — On finding connection through art, beauty, and sharing culture 28:20 — On authenticity and gatekeeping in art 29:43 — On the connections between wealth, commercialization, and the importance of real art and experience 31:46 — On raising children in a consumerist world, and introducing them to art and culture Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Lido Pimienta and Ora Cogan for chatting.

i went to a book sale today and i judged all the books by their covers. or more specifically, their spines. i chose the books based on the lettering on their spines and i guess we’ll see how it goes! but wow, ugh, some book covers are so ugly. i’m just hoping that if i’m drawn to the aesthetic of the cover art then i may be drawn to the content or style of writing?i judge people based on their aesthetics also (it’s a shortcut we all take, yah?) but it gets confusing because of places like urban outfitters and also because some of my favorite people have truly upsetting fashion sense.but like books, and people, i love a good recommendation. that way i don’t have to make time-saving judgements based on aesthetics. so what/who would you recommend to me?DOWNLOAD/STREAM RECORDING00:00 (intro by omar)00:20 Valley Gals “Come Over” Real Rock01:24 Post Moves “Cerulean” No Dignity in Haste04:56 ITCHY BUGGER “Baker Man” Done One07:18 Crisman “Rock” Crisman Tape09:32 Xenia Rubinos “DIOSA” DIOSA vs. BUGEISHA12:17 Gutter Girls “Love Song” Gutter Girls EP13:59 Mister Goblin “Calendar Dogs” Is Path Warm?18:09 Paperman “fool zero” cherry brain21:37 Overwhelmed “Thirty Five” Who Rules The World?23:58 Les Halles “Golden Hour V-VI” Golden Hours26:19 Sondra Sun-Odeon “Oaks” Desyre29:16 franz murder “a dreamlike place…” brat school32:19 Post/Boredom “Everything Avoider” Ritualistic Time Abuser35:19 Tara Jane O'Neil “The Crying Game” Songs for Peacock38:57 2 Chevrons “Disappear” No Rules In Outta Space41:49 PickleBoy “downer days” taking care43:45 P.P.

At Sled Island 2018, Jeff tracked down Ora Cogan for a chat that quickly moved away from the set questions as Cogan opened up about her frustration and sadness regarding the current state of affairs. Although a somewhat heavy conversation starts the interview, they also find some time to discuss her 2017 album Crickets and new music video for “Moonbeam,” before lightening the mood with the rapid-fire questions.Recorded June 22nd, 2018.Track used with full permission from Ora Cogan.https://oracogan.bandcamp.comBackground Music:Atlantis Jazz Ensemble - UndercurrentsUsed with permission from Atlantis Jazz Ensemble and Marlow Recordshttp://www.marlowrecords.com
