For many of us, our fathers are our protectors. They provide the structure, discipline and encouragement that stays with you throughout life. And when they're not cooking on the grill in their favorite sandals, they teach us to stand tall, speak up and be fearless. Of course, the word “dad” isn't the same for everyone. It can be a biological bond, mentor, bonus parent or father figure who chose to step up. This holiday recognizes their part in bringing us into this world and showing up time and time again.This special Father's Day edition of Uniquely Milwaukee turned into quite the group project, thanks to you. In addition to asking a few locals to write heartfelt letters to their fathers, I reached out to our audience in the hopes of getting a few voicemails with messages to your dads. You stepped up, so listen for those in the episode.On top of that, my own father is part of this episode! He's a pretty private guy, but I got him to open up a bit about fatherhood and being a single parent: “Raising someone by yourself takes a lot. It's not easy. There's nothing perfect in (the) raising of any child by yourself, but you try to practice perfection, and with that comes a lot of looking at yourself.”Thanks to everyone who took part in this special episode. And to my dad and all dads, happy Father's Day.—Episode host: Kim ShineUniquely Milwaukee is sponsored by the Milwaukee Public Library and supported by our Radio Milwaukee members.

Sun-Seeker MKE are dreamers, artists, abolitionists, chosen family and joy makers — all working hard to reimagine what safety and care looks like for black trans and queer folks. Everyone involved with the Black trans abolitionist organization understands the solutions to oppression, harm and liberation come from the people within the communities they serve.I spoke with Nick Berkley, Yante Turner and Jakayla (Jay) Bridges of Sun-Seeker MKE during the DJ Takeover on the Afternoon Drive last week. They curated a full hour of songs that both reflect and inspire their mission, and we looked at the work of their organization through the lens of art and music.“When we talk about creativity and making organizing desirable, art for us has been that lens.” explained Turner, who has been with Sun-Seeker MKE for over four years. They are not reaching for professionalism or perfectionism, but rather striving for authenticity that's made available through art and music.It's an organization of activists, academics and mobilizers who aren't content with theory. They move Black trans safety from conversation to action through campaigns like their fundraiser for a rapid-response mobile crisis and care collaboration unit — the latest example of their hyperlocal focus so communities can “have sovereignty over what their safety looks like.”You can hear more from Berkley, Turner and Bridges in this episode, and learn more about how Sun-Seeker MKE is working toward Black queer and trans safety by following them on Instagram.Episode guest host: Carolann GrzybowskiUniquely Milwaukee is sponsored by the Milwaukee Public Library and supported by our Radio Milwaukee members.

On this episode of Uniquely Milwaukee, DJ Kenny Perez had the chance to speak with auntie, a rising producer from Milwaukee who's making waves with a sound deeply rooted in Footwork.If you're wondering what Footwork is, you'll have to take it back to Chicago in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This high-energy, rhythmically complex dance music evolved as a faster and more abstract offshoot of the Chicago ghetto house sound. Known for its rapid-fire beats, syncopated rhythms and chopped vocal samples, Footwork was designed for competitive dance battles and often pushes tempos past 160 BPM, challenging both dancers and producers to innovate in real time.Auntie's passion for rhythm and experimentation was ignited at just 8 years old, influenced by her uncle (a producer himself) and, perhaps surprisingly, the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Despite its controversial content, the game's in-car radio stations introduced her to a wide range of genres, sparking her interest in sound design, storytelling and genre blending.Join us as we dive into auntie's creative journey, her take on the Milwaukee music scene and how she's crafting something new while honoring the rich legacy of Midwest electronic music.Episode guest host: DJ Kenny PerezUniquely Milwaukee is sponsored by the Milwaukee Public Library and supported by our Radio Milwaukee members.

Golf is a multibillion-dollar sport played in many places around the world. Its modern origins date back to 15th century Scotland, but the game didn't really gain traction in the United States until the turn of the 19th century. Eventually, modern legends like Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods took the game to new heights. Still, after all these years, it's a sport that lacks diversity. According to the Professional Golfers Association (PGA), African Americans make up just 7% of the general golfing population and a mere 1-3% of touring professionals. In Milwaukee, there's a group dedicated to introducing the game to many more. WeBlackWeGolf (WBWF) is a social nonprofit building community from the tee box. They're open to all but focused on getting more people of color active in the sport. In this episode, host Kim Shine takes to the the fairways and greens at Lincoln Park Golf Course in Glendale for the group's opening day. In a golf cart alongside WBWG board member and mentor Calvin Lee, Kim talks with different members and newer golfers about why they love the sport and the group.To learn more about WeBlackWeGolf, visit their website and follow the organization on Instagram.—Episode host: Kim ShineUniquely Milwaukee is sponsored by the Milwaukee Public Library and supported by our Radio Milwaukee members.

In honor of Mother's Day, we're dedicating this special episode of Uniquely Milwaukee to moms (and even those considering motherhood). We're making sure to acknowledge the love, guidance, protection and sacrifice you give to — and for — your children. Thank you.——————Becoming a mother can happen at any age and stage in life. Increasingly, though, it seems that age and stage fall later and later. In March, the National Center for Health Statistics released a report showing that, for the first time, women 40 and older are having more babies than teenagers. In 1990, just more than 50,000 births happened for women 40 and older. Thirty-three years later, that number has almost tripled. Inspired by that trend, we decided to focus on moms over 40 with this Mother's Day episode in three parts:Shayvon McCullum already had two children, now 15 and 20 years old. But after meeting her partner who had none of his own, she agreed to try again. Now, at 42, she's got a 1-year-old girl and a very happy life (18 minutes).Dr. Marie Forgie, an OB/GYN from Aurora Health Care, gives her professional insight to motherhood for older women and things to consider when making the decision (11 minutes).Finally, a heartwarming conversation between my Radio Milwaukee colleague Carolann Grzybowski and her mother, Diane Cohen, who was in her 40s when she had both Carolann and her sister (25 minutes).Episode host: Kim ShineUniquely Milwaukee is sponsored by the Milwaukee Public Library. 

We successfully made it through another Radio Milwaukee Spring Membership Drive! That's 10 days of our listeners hearing us (and folks in the community) explain why supporting this station matters. Whether through sustaining memberships or one-time gives, everything helps keep us on the air and in the Cream City.Radio Milwaukee is a nonprofit organization, and membership accounts for nearly a third of our annual revenue. As membership manager Maddy Riordan explains in this episode, members help sustain 88Nine and HYFIN, but also efforts like Grace Weber's Music Lab, this very podcast and our Black Small Business Initiative.Let's not forget about those who donate their time. We asked one of our longtime volunteers, Rachel Bourbon, to talk about what attracted her to Radio Milwaukee 17 years ago and how the station has evolved in nearly two decades.We also decided to have a little fun with this episode and lean on the fact that our organization is an award-winning media outlet. But that got us wondering: How many honors have we won since our 2007 launch? We'll find out together as we take an “Award Tour” with HYFIN program director Element Everest-Blanks.

On this episode, we dive into the new concert film Lifers with two of the people who know it best because they lived it: Local H's Scott Lucas and cinematographer Wes Knot.They talk with Radio Milwaukee's Dori Zori about how the idea for Lifers came about during Local H's COVID-delayed tour and how Lucas wanted to create something beyond a typical concert video, drawing inspiration from movies like Goodbye Dragon Inn and Slacker. What they ended up with is a unique blend of live performance footage from their final tour stop at the Metro in Chicago and narrative vignettes featuring both actors and real concertgoers.Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Co.

This episode finds us hitting the home stretch of Black History Month, which means it's time to get moving and support Milwaukee's Black-owned restaurants (something we should do year-round). Ann gave us all a helping hand by putting together a sizable list for Milwaukee Magazine that includes everything from soul food to barbecue and Ethiopian to Jamaican.Toward the end of the podcast, we also highlight a pair of cookbooks from Black women that literally span more than a century: a new edition of Malinda Russell's A Domestic Cookbook (first published in 1866) and a compilation of Gullah Geechee recipes collected by Emily Meggett, who was 89 when the book came out in 2022.In other culinary news from around Milwaukee:The mad scientists at Discourse are serving up real ants on a log right downstairs from where I'm writing this at Radio Milwaukee.Milwaukee Public Market will hold a very rhyme-y Soup, Stew & Brew Fest on March 5.Dan Jacobs and Dan Van Rite will again welcome a bunch of their famous chef buddies for a collaborative dinner series at Dandan and EsterEv.Fuel Cafe officially hit empty after aprubtly announcing its permanent closing Sunday.Milwaukee's oldest Black biker bar has shifted gears and will soon become Cajun Soul MKE.

We love “the new.” Especially when it comes to the restaurant scene, we get excited about the spot that just opened its doors or discovering a place the rest of the community hasn't caught on to yet.While the rookies get everyone worked up, it's the veterans who create the foundation of a city's food identity. And we've got two of them leading the lineup for this episode of the podcast.First up is Bacchus, the venerable Bartolotta-owned restaurant that announced a couple different developments around its 20th anniversary. For starters, executive chef Nick Wirth and chef de cuisine Brent Davis have come up with a new a la carte dinner menu, which will debut along with a new bar menu Feb. 20. Among the items you'll find are charred Spanish octopus, smoked wagyu pastrami, Seremoni black cod with burnt honey celeriac and couscous pilaf, and Wagyu skirt steak with miso-glazed ube and grilled kimchi bok choy.The restaurant will also take a night to properly celebrate the 20th anniversary as it hosts a champagne dinner March 6. The aforementioned chef duo have put together a five-course menu for the occasion, which will also include pairings of bubbly from the likes of Dom Pérignon and Laurent Perrier.Another longstanding Milwaukee eatery got the Ann Christenson treatment recently, as our favorite food writer took a peek inside Pizza Man's comeback. Once the king of our city's pie scene (arguably), Pizza Man experienced some slippage as it suffered through fire, a couple location changes and attempted expansion.It's now back at the Downer location and trying to recapture its former glory under new owners Thomas Schafer and Krys Zielinski. Ann stopped by a couple times to get a feel for how things are coming along and found mixed results, as well as steady improvement. As she put it in her Milwaukee Magazine story, “This reboot needs to succeed. Downer Avenue needs it to.”Here's what else found its way into this episode:A juicy piece about Prime Rib you'll only find in the pages of Milwaukee Magazine.A new concept called Outlaw Oyster that'll pop-up inside Crafty Cow's Wauwatosa location.A chat about What Mrs. Fisher Knows About Old Southern Cooking, the first African-American cookbook from 1881.Finally, we have another in our series of interviews with some of Milwaukee's very best chefs — who just so happen to be whipping up an original dish you can try at Radio Milwaukee's SoundBites. Egg & Flour's Adam Pawlak gets the microphone on this episode and talks with Kenny Perez about the tostada he's working on for Feb. 27.Adam is one of 12 different chefs lending their considerable talents to SoundBites, a group that includes Dane Baldwin from The Diplomat, Kristen Schwab from The Wolf and Gregory León from Amilinda. To make your reservation at this very exclusive table, head over to the event page.

We're a day away from February, which is not important. We're also a day away from Phobruary, which is very important — so important, in fact, that we slapped it at the top of this episode.If you've somehow not partaken of Phobruary in its previous 11 years of existence, the gist is that it's an annual celebration of the Vietnamese noodle soup at a handful of restaurants in Milwaukee's Silver City neighborhood. The 12th installment includes the following three eateries and their respective specials:Vientiane Noodle Shop — $7 small beef/meatball pho bowlThai-Barbq Restaurant — $7 small steak pho bowl, $5 for three egg rolls, #3 BBQ meat skewer, $5 shrimp skewerPK Palace — $7 small beef/meatball pho bowl, 10% off total purchase (not valid for pho promotional price)All three of the restaurants are on National Avenue between 34th and 38th streets, so if you really like your pho, you could easily eat your way from one to the next to the next and then probably feel uncomfortably full for the rest of the day. But satisfied.Speaking of which, here's what else we discuss to satisfy your weekly need for Milwaukee culinary news:Momo Mee has whipped up a very special menu to celebrate the Lunar New Year.Two special dinners at Lupi & Iris will focus on winter cocktails (Feb. 7) and petite black truffles (Feb. 11).Marcus Hotel restaurants have Valentine's Day events galore at Mason Street Grill, The Pfister and The Dark Room.Venturing outside Milwaukee, we talk about Our South, a cookbook focused on Black Southern cuisine.Back inside Milwaukee, we've got something special baked into this episode, Radio Milwaukee's Dori Zori. She and Kristen Schwab from The Wolf on Broadway talk about their food-and-music pairing at the upcoming SoundBites event happening at the Harley-Davidson Museum on Feb. 27. You can learn all about it here or just skip right to buying tickets.

For the first episode of 2025 — our 11th(!) year bringing This Bites to your ears — we started in a very familiar (and familial) place: the recently closed Ardent, which is welcoming the first of hopefully many more things to come from its former chef, Vanessa Rose.Rose will bring some playful flavors to the space when she hosts an extended pop-up called Mother's that hosts its first diners today. You can expect small plates from an a la carte menu that gets a little out there. One example she provided to the Journal Sentinel's Rachel Bernhard is “a scallion crepe cake with crab Rangoon, grilled pineapple and ssamjang.”The pop-up will serve 5 to 9 p.m. Fridays to Mondays between now and Jan. 25. Rose said they'll welcome walk-ins but prefer reservations you can make via Instagram direct message (@mothers.mke or @86d.heard).Before we give you the rest of this week's food news, one more note about Rose's aspirations. She's pushing to give Mother's a permanent home as part of a space dedicated to Milwaukee's LGBTQ+ community while also developing another concept called House of Bridges. According to the GoFundMe she set up to make those dreams a reality, “Both of these projects seek to make restaurants a more fair and less exploitative industry.” The goal is to implement:Cooperative ownershipRoyalties on dishes created by staffAnnual cookbooks and cooking tutorials, with profits going back to the restaurants to supplement wages and benefitsEmployer-paid insuranceReasonable work weeksSupport of local farmers over corporate food providersProfit sharingMutual aid across all demographicsWeekly pay-what-you-can meals for people struggling to keep food on their tablesIt's clear Rose has a vision, and you can support it by contributing to her GoFundMe. As for the rest of our episode, you'll hear a little bit about:Ann's story about Flourchild that you can find in the pages of Milwaukee Magazine.Private chef Michaela Ericson's plans to open a public-facing restaurant and retail store.A new Mexican restaurant called El Caporal coming to Clark Square.A review of Margaux Brasserie that Ann put together for Milwaukee Magazine.Milwaukee Flavor Live, a four-course culinary event tied into a city-centric cookbook.The return of SoundBites, a much-loved Radio Milwaukee event that pairs food and music.

Traditions make the holiday season what it is. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. A treasured decoration hanging in a place of honor on the tree. The annual viewing of Stanley Kubrick's psycho-sexual thriller Eyes Wide Shut.Maybe you don't venture outside the lines quite that much, but Milwaukee Film's "Season's Screenings" holiday series sure does. In honor of the adventurous range of selections being shown at the Oriental Theatre through Jan. 1, Dori and Kpolly have a spirited conversation about what we watch around this time of year, roast a few and unwrap the ones they might not be quite as familiar with (perhaps Tangerine or Tokyo Godfathers).To see the full lineup of films, along with links to purchase tickets, go to our story on the Radio Milwaukee website.

This week on Uniquely Milwaukee, Radio Milwaukee's intern, Amelie Stella Lichte, takes over to share her unique experience working at the Grohmann Museum.

Kristopher Pollard and Dori Zori are joined by Radio Milwaukee's Jen Ellis as they talk about the new biker flick, The Bikeriders. Over the course of a decade, a Midwestern motorcycle club evolves from a gathering place for local outsiders to a sinister gang, threatening the original group's way of life. Tom Hardy, Austin Butler and Jodie Comer lead a strong cast capturing an era of motorcyle clubs transitiononing into gangs, and the consequences that become inevitable and deadly.Our hosts also dive into Chicagoland accents, as well as vintage bikes and style.-Produced and edited by Marcus Doucette

So, I mean, I started learning guitar when I was like 11 years old. 31 00:02:11.726 --> 00:02:17.326 I really enjoyed the sound of like the 60s and the 70s and a lot of different 32 00:02:17.326 --> 00:02:19.566 like kind of alternative and indie sounds too. 33 00:02:20.166 --> 00:02:24.746 29 years old. So at the time, like early Arctic Monkeys, Strokes, 34 00:02:24.866 --> 00:02:28.006 Flaming Lips, stuff like that. A lot of that really got me into music. 35 00:02:28.446 --> 00:02:32.786 I started learning guitar at like 11, played a lot, you know, 36 00:02:32.786 --> 00:02:33.846 throughout my teenage years. 37 00:02:34.086 --> 00:02:36.866 I had a stepdad who was a drummer and he would bring me out to 38 00:02:36.866 --> 00:02:39.506 all of these open jams and so i started 39 00:02:39.506 --> 00:02:42.206 playing with a bunch of like blues guys and stuff once i 40 00:02:42.206 --> 00:02:45.026 was about 16 and interesting to start playing in 41 00:02:45.026 --> 00:02:47.826 bars at that age too but

00:04:37.679 was like we're gonna get weird you know so we got weird people 73 00:04:37.679 --> 00:04:40.379 like it when we get weird so yeah right i was gonna say i bet the 74 00:04:40.379 --> 00:04:43.999 audience was enjoying it i bet for sure yeah definitely cool 75 00:04:43.999 --> 00:04:47.119 so how long has this has this group 76 00:04:47.119 --> 00:04:50.119 been kind of like together i know it's mostly you when you have this rotating 77 00:04:50.119 --> 00:04:53.179 set set of musicians but as this entity how 78 00:04:53.179 --> 00:04:58.119 long has this been going on just six months so i launched the album six months 79 00:04:58.119 --> 00:05:02.159 ago and that was kind of my first time doing this before that i was kind of 80 00:05:02.159 --> 00:05:05.539 a journeyman like guitarist i would just play guitar in a lot of different bands 81 00:05:05.539 --> 00:05:10.439 whether you know kind of a lot of across a lot of different genres but i moved 82 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:12.979 down to milwaukee from the fox cities back. 83 00:05:13.579 --> 00:05:16.579 About a year a little over a year ago and started working 84 00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:20.179 on this album and knew that i kind of of wanted to like squeak out 85 00:05:20.179 --> 00:05:23.379 in this scene down here and and just try 86 00:05:23.379 --> 00:05:26.439 something new with it so really glad i did it's been really successful 87 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.379 so far and people have taken taken it really nicely so 88 00:05:29.379 --> 00:05:32.459 excellent so kind of one of my questions is talking 89 00:05:32.459 --> 00:05:36.719 about the local scene so it seems like you're getting a positive reaction from 90 00:05:36.719 --> 00:05:40.379 the scene which is great what are some other positives that you've been kind 91 00:05:40.379 --> 00:05:45.419 of noticing about the local scene for you oh man i got so many homies in the 92 00:05:45.419 --> 00:05:49.459 scene And it's been crazy to just really be in a new place and get to meet all of them. 93 00:05:50.039 --> 00:05:54.419 Yeah. I've gotten to collaborate with quite a few different artists and I think 94 00:05:54.419 --> 00:05:59.059 getting to do recording stuff is great too, but I just love how diverse the scene is. 95 00:05:59.119 --> 00:06:03.359 Honestly, there's so many talented people from so many different like genres 96 00:06:03.359 --> 00:06:09.379 and sub genres that I think it makes, it makes it such an intricate scene in Milwaukee here. 97 00:06:09.919 --> 00:06:13.979 And I love getting to see it, man. man. There's just so much talent and people 98 00:06:13.979 --> 00:06:17.139 are just incredible songwriters and players in general. Yeah. 99 00:06:17.459 --> 00:06:21.699 It's a lot of great talent out there in the Milwaukee and outing areas, 100 00:06:21.799 --> 00:06:24.859 all the way throughout Wisconsin. There's just a lot of great musicians out here. 101 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.659 What are some of the struggles that you've kind of seen in the local scene, 102 00:06:28.739 --> 00:06:32.979 though, that maybe needs help to help it make it stronger? Yeah. 103 00:06:33.819 --> 00:06:39.239 I don't know. I guess I haven't really experienced a lot of struggles necessarily. necessarily. 104 00:06:39.259 --> 00:06:42.739 I feel like selling merch is kind of hard, but I feel like that's kind of, 105 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:44.639 everybody has that right situation. 106 00:06:45.159 --> 00:06:48.879 I also know that we're like in an interesting financial situation as far as 107 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:50.179 like the world's concerned right now. 108 00:06:50.239 --> 00:06:53.899 So I'm not going to be like luring that over anybody's head. No. 109 00:06:54.619 --> 00:06:59.059 Yeah. I don't know. I feel like everybody's really cool and it doesn't feel 110 00:06:59.059 --> 00:07:01.379 grossly competitive or anything like that. Like. 111 00:07:02.434 --> 00:07:06.334 Yeah i don't know i guess i think i 112 00:07:06.334 --> 00:07:08.954 wish that the hip-hop and r b scene had a little 113 00:07:08.954 --> 00:07:11.934 bit more support from some of the some of the faces that 114 00:07:11.934 --> 00:07:15.394 i kind of see in the circles that i play in and stuff yeah because i love getting 115 00:07:15.394 --> 00:07:19.354 to play across you know different scenes and work with other people and i mean 116 00:07:19.354 --> 00:07:23.314 they definitely have a lot of support but i feel like it's there's just so much 117 00:07:23.314 --> 00:07:26.974 untapped talent there that i wish that we could almost support those people 118 00:07:26.974 --> 00:07:30.354 a little bit better but but that's honestly my only gripe. 119 00:07:30.934 --> 00:07:33.454 I mean, we're supposed to be a melting pot of everything, right? 120 00:07:33.914 --> 00:07:35.694 Yeah, totally, man. Right, exactly. 121 00:07:36.934 --> 00:07:40.374 Now, talking a little bit about this new album that came out in April, 122 00:07:41.474 --> 00:07:44.394 we're at the end of October with this recording of this interview, 123 00:07:44.574 --> 00:07:46.434 so it's been, like you said, about six months. 124 00:07:46.994 --> 00:07:48.734 So why don't we talk to the listeners 125 00:07:48.734 --> 00:07:53.194 through the journey of creating this project. How did you get started? 126 00:07:53.754 --> 00:07:57.754 How did you put the things together, like your recording equipment and things of that nature? 127 00:07:57.754 --> 00:08:00.774 Year how did it go being in an apartment is the drums 128 00:08:00.774 --> 00:08:03.394 you said you're a drummer so are these live drums or are 129 00:08:03.394 --> 00:08:07.254 these program drums can i talk about all the details of this album yeah definitely 130 00:08:07.254 --> 00:08:14.034 man yeah so in i have a studio in our apartment here and yeah i just sound dampened 131 00:08:14.034 --> 00:08:18.414 a ton of it you know just added a ton of foam and stuff but i live track i live 132 00:08:18.414 --> 00:08:22.674 tracked all the drumming usually i'll I'll do like an eight mic setup on the kit. 133 00:08:23.094 --> 00:08:29.774 I'll do like a mono overhead. I'll individually mic up the hi-hat and like the ride cymbal. 134 00:08:29.794 --> 00:08:32.574 So pretty much just the crash is coming through on the overhead as well as like 135 00:08:32.574 --> 00:08:33.914 the overall blend of all the drums. 136 00:08:35.014 --> 00:08:38.894 I just single mic the kick, double mic the snare, one on top, one on bottom. 137 00:08:39.554 --> 00:08:42.794 Tom's individually. And that's kind of like the general thing. 138 00:08:43.074 --> 00:08:47.134 I think having your mic placement's the best way to go because you don't want 139 00:08:47.134 --> 00:08:50.554 things to be out of phase or to like not come through sounding right. Right, right. 140 00:08:50.914 --> 00:08:54.514 So that kind of took me a little while to figure that out because this is like 141 00:08:54.514 --> 00:08:57.454 my first time really like recording to this capacity. So. 142 00:08:58.293 --> 00:09:02.073 I just had to keep messing stuff up. Even on that album, when I listened to 143 00:09:02.073 --> 00:09:07.693 it, I'm like, yeah, definitely, I've been doing things differently since I recorded that album. 144 00:09:08.273 --> 00:09:13.893 But yeah, I feel like I started recording it because I had played in a lot of 145 00:09:13.893 --> 00:09:17.293 other bands, and I was like, I think I could do this all by myself, 146 00:09:17.553 --> 00:09:22.693 and I wanted to take that on as a little bit of an experience thing, 147 00:09:22.913 --> 00:09:25.533 and I'm really glad I did because it really taught me. 148 00:09:25.533 --> 00:09:29.693 I think it made me a lot better of a guitarist in general, getting to really 149 00:09:29.693 --> 00:09:35.913 look at every single instrument and what it does to add to like the general sound of something. 150 00:09:35.993 --> 00:09:40.453 And I think that, you know, the end result is always what's the most important thing. Right. 151 00:09:40.873 --> 00:09:45.013 That being said, we live above like a venue too. 152 00:09:45.153 --> 00:09:49.673 So yeah, I got to really learn a lot about noise gates. 153 00:09:50.253 --> 00:09:53.513 And I also learned a lot about retracking. So yeah. 154 00:09:53.553 --> 00:09:56.533 And then there's a church across the street that's very old 155 00:09:56.533 --> 00:09:59.753 and it just it rings bells like hell man yeah 156 00:09:59.753 --> 00:10:02.673 crazy yeah so did you sample 157 00:10:02.673 --> 00:10:05.753 any of that and put it in your songs i actually didn't know 158 00:10:05.753 --> 00:10:08.493 i had a friend that i was playing and i had him as a rhythm 159 00:10:08.493 --> 00:10:12.093 guitarist for like a few shows and every time he'd come over to like jam and 160 00:10:12.093 --> 00:10:15.133 stuff he'd always be like oh dude the bell's going off i gotta go record this 161 00:10:15.133 --> 00:10:18.653 and he'd like run outside and record it and he actually used it in one of his 162 00:10:18.653 --> 00:10:22.633 songs and i thought that that was really interesting so very cool yeah he was 163 00:10:22.633 --> 00:10:25.833 more nerdy about it than i was i was just i I always see it as a nuisance. 164 00:10:26.073 --> 00:10:32.653 I'm like, I don't need that bell, you know? So the only bell I want is off of a ride. 165 00:10:32.873 --> 00:10:36.693 Yeah, I hear you. I hear you. Now, you said you live above a venue. 166 00:10:36.773 --> 00:10:41.373 Do you have other neighbors or is it just the venue below you and you're sitting up on top of it? 167 00:10:41.653 --> 00:10:46.293 Yeah, it's just the venue below us.

So the whole thing 226 00:14:06.555 --> 00:14:09.695 like front to back kind of tells a story and it really goes through the motions. 227 00:14:10.315 --> 00:14:15.035 So to like name out one specific song I think would be a little, a little crazy. 228 00:14:15.055 --> 00:14:19.875 I know the most popular songs off that album are like Seaside and Portland. 229 00:14:22.480 --> 00:18:01.360 Music. 230 00:18:01.202 --> 00:18:04.202 So i feel like that's kind of like a good little surface level place to 231 00:18:04.202 --> 00:18:06.982 get into with it okay but the album like front to 232 00:18:06.982 --> 00:18:10.302 back it's only eight songs and it's like 36 minutes or 233 00:18:10.302 --> 00:18:13.742 something like that so it's pretty easy to get through it's really digestible 234 00:18:13.742 --> 00:18:20.102 the music on it is i wanted to make sure that it would be something that has 235 00:18:20.102 --> 00:18:23.842 a lot of moments where like the ear candy kind of hits you you know and you 236 00:18:23.842 --> 00:18:29.482 got good hooks good overall feel i feel like in my playing i i kind In my writing, 237 00:18:29.542 --> 00:18:33.422 I feel like I emphasize a lot of minor seven chords and stuff, 238 00:18:33.542 --> 00:18:37.522 so it really gives you that classic alternative indie sound. 239 00:18:37.842 --> 00:18:41.622 But then it's pretty imaginative and really jumps across a lot of different 240 00:18:41.622 --> 00:18:46.042 cultures as far as music's concerned, whether it be more of an Eastern sound 241 00:18:46.042 --> 00:18:48.582 or adding more of a Latin feel on something. 242 00:18:48.802 --> 00:18:55.522 And then all of the rhythm section stuff is super funky, so it's really easy 243 00:18:55.522 --> 00:18:59.022 to get into. Yeah, so you call this basically a journey album. 244 00:18:59.202 --> 00:19:02.922 So what is the journey that this album is supposed to take the listener through? 245 00:19:02.922 --> 00:19:10.522 Oh man, I think I just wanted it to resonate with any kind of like feeling of coming of age, 246 00:19:10.702 --> 00:19:16.602 you know, and really just kind of when everything kind of starts clicking as 247 00:19:16.602 --> 00:19:20.222 you know, we're adults and our brains kind of start forming a little bit more. 248 00:19:20.722 --> 00:19:24.522 I wanted to kind of go over that and the things that we grieve with, 249 00:19:24.682 --> 00:19:27.222 but also the things that we can be excited about too. 250 00:19:27.342 --> 00:19:31.602 And that's kind of the place that I was in when I wrote and recorded all of it. 251 00:19:31.602 --> 00:19:34.442 And yeah and i feel like it definitely can 252 00:19:34.442 --> 00:19:37.182 be or you could just put it on when you got some homies over and you're 253 00:19:37.182 --> 00:19:40.802 hanging out you know and it's it's just easy listening so excellent excellent 254 00:19:40.802 --> 00:19:43.982 so i'll put a few of those on there is there 255 00:19:43.982 --> 00:19:46.722 any ones that you really want me to put on the podcast or should i just 256 00:19:46.722 --> 00:19:49.482 randomly pick a few yeah i feel 257 00:19:49.482 --> 00:19:52.582 like seaside portland those two are pretty cool okay 258 00:19:52.582 --> 00:19:55.242 definitely usually i feel like those kind of get a lot of 259 00:19:55.242 --> 00:19:58.382 play soul mill is really cool too it's an instrumental it's 260 00:19:58.382 --> 00:20:01.102 the opener for the album too but it yeah that 261 00:20:01.102 --> 00:20:06.322 one's just really interesting it's got a lot of like phrygian scale usage but 262 00:20:06.322 --> 00:20:12.122 it's pretty light and it really sticks to kind of more like funky kind of minor 263 00:20:12.122 --> 00:20:17.342 like pentatonic box kind of feel stuff too from like a bass perspective right 264 00:20:17.342 --> 00:20:18.742 it's really nice and easy going. 265 00:20:19.920 --> 00:22:21.360 Music. 266 00:22:21.205 --> 00:22:25.505 Producers and beatmakers of Milwaukee, it is time for the 2024 Big Beat MKE 267 00:22:25.505 --> 00:22:29.505 Beat Battle Tournament taking place at the Jackalope Lounge at the Wicked Hop 268 00:22:29.505 --> 00:22:33.865 in Milwaukee's Third Ward on Thursday nights between April 25th and June 13th. 269 00:22:34.305 --> 00:22:37.965 Producers are going to go head-to-head in three one-minute rounds to determine 270 00:22:37.965 --> 00:22:41.825 who is going to move on to the next round of the tournament with some amazing 271 00:22:41.825 --> 00:22:43.325 prizes from some great sponsors. 272 00:22:43.805 --> 00:22:48.905 Don't forget that you can submit your beats today at breakingandentering.net through March 31st. 273 00:22:51.245 --> 00:22:54.745 Yeah phrygian's kind of known as like the happy major sound 274 00:22:54.745 --> 00:22:57.945 because it's got that raised fourth in it so it's it's 275 00:22:57.945 --> 00:23:00.765 a very cool scale can be used over a lot of 276 00:23:00.765 --> 00:23:04.205 different things and a lot of great songs in the over the 277 00:23:04.205 --> 00:23:07.305 years have over the decades have been using that that that mode 278 00:23:07.305 --> 00:23:10.145 a lot so very cool yeah yeah it's cool it's definitely one 279 00:23:10.145 --> 00:23:13.385 of my favorites especially with like being a 280 00:23:13.385 --> 00:23:16.245 little bit more of a psychedelic artist too you know it really gives it that like 281 00:23:16.245 --> 00:23:19.345 kind of gypsy spanishy middle eastern 282 00:23:19.345 --> 00:23:22.145 feel to it too so what would be like some 283 00:23:22.145 --> 00:23:25.085 influences of yours that would be in 284 00:23:25.085 --> 00:23:27.785 that kind of genre that other that the listeners 285 00:23:27.785 --> 00:23:30.665 would be kind of understanding where that's coming from 286 00:23:30.665 --> 00:23:36.205 yeah i feel like from a modern perspective i'd say like krungbin i would say 287 00:23:36.205 --> 00:23:42.305 like peach pit the band crumb and then i have a lot of like kind of old school 288 00:23:42.305 --> 00:23:47.745 funky feels in it too so i think like funkadelic even like a little herbie hancock 289 00:23:47.745 --> 00:23:49.845 like like Headhunters album, you know? Right, right, right. 290 00:23:51.445 --> 00:23:54.605 And I would say like a little bit of Jimi Hendrix. It definitely, 291 00:23:54.845 --> 00:23:59.005 it's some of the tonalities are like throwback feel stuff for sure. 292 00:23:59.445 --> 00:24:03.705 But it's like hard to beat the 60s and 70s out of you when it's like so imprinted 293 00:24:03.705 --> 00:24:05.365 in your brain, you know? Right, right, right. 294 00:24:06.065 --> 00:24:10.585 So if I remember right, you said you're like in your mid 20s now and you started when you were 11. 295 00:24:11.045 --> 00:24:15.645 So that was like early 2000-ish, I would think. 296 00:24:15.805 --> 00:24:20.305 Is that, am I thinking that right? Yeah, for sure. I started playing in 2006. 297 00:24:20.685 --> 00:24:24.105 I'm 29. Yeah. Okay. So, yeah. So 2006. 298 00:24:24.425 --> 00:24:28.845 So when you were 11, what would be like some of the music that was influenced 299 00:24:28.845 --> 00:24:30.485 you at that young of an age? 300 00:24:30.765 --> 00:24:34.745 Oh, man, it was just Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles and Led Zeppelin and... 301 00:24:35.798 --> 00:24:38.758 Black sabbath you know kind of all of that stuff in 302 00:24:38.758 --> 00:24:41.578 general that was i remember hearing that music and 303 00:24:41.578 --> 00:24:44.598 just being like this is insane and then eventually once i 304 00:24:44.598 --> 00:24:47.478 got an acoustic and i was like 13 14 305 00:24:47.478 --> 00:24:51.558 i really became obsessed with nirvana i feel like everybody has to go through 306 00:24:51.558 --> 00:24:57.218 a nirvana phase and that was my nirvana phase and i i loved learning all their 307 00:24:57.218 --> 00:25:02.298 music because it was simple enough for me to play it and say with it yeah that 308 00:25:02.298 --> 00:25:05.918 that kind of where it was where it was at And then eventually as I got older, 309 00:25:06.018 --> 00:25:08.458 my taste kind of expanded out from there. 310 00:25:08.538 --> 00:25:13.098 And I really started listening to a lot of like jazz and funk and fusion and 311 00:25:13.098 --> 00:25:17.118 stuff like that. And a lot of different, like there's still all these elements 312 00:25:17.118 --> 00:25:21.498 of like psychedelia, but it wasn't as like prominent in it. Gotcha. 313 00:25:21.558 --> 00:25:23.438 Yeah, definitely all that stuff. 314 00:25:23.598 --> 00:25:27.358 And then a lot of like West Coast indie stuff I really started getting down 315 00:25:27.358 --> 00:25:28.918 on probably about 10 years ago. 316 00:25:28.978 --> 00:25:32.598 And I feel like I really haven't ever lost that. So wonderful. Wonderful. 317 00:25:32.758 --> 00:25:37.478 It's great to hear about musicians that start somewhere and they expand out 318 00:25:37.478 --> 00:25:42.558 and just try to search out everything that they can that really helps them become 319 00:25:42.558 --> 00:25:45.158 a better musician. For sure. Yeah. Yeah. 320 00:25:45.698 --> 00:25:51.258 As I'm getting closer to the end here with these questions, one of them is a work-life balance. 321 00:25:51.438 --> 00:25:56.258 So we haven't really talked much about what else you do. Are you doing music full-time? 322 00:25:56.378 --> 00:26:01.738 Do you have a side job or a day job that kind of conflicts with you making making 323 00:26:01.738 --> 00:26:03.018 music? How does that work for you? 324 00:26:03.278 --> 00:26:08.298 Yeah, I actually just left my full-time job a couple of weeks ago to really 325 00:26:08.298 --> 00:26:10.378 launch into this music thing full-time. 326 00:26:10.538 --> 00:26:16.558 And yeah, it was really hard to record and just play a lot of gigs too. 327 00:26:16.658 --> 00:26:17.718 I think over the summer, I probably 328 00:26:17.718 --> 00:26:22.798 played maybe like 30 some gigs with a full-time job and that was a ton. 329 00:26:23.018 --> 00:26:28.938 So yeah, I'm definitely kind of glad I'm making this decision right now. 330 00:26:29.058 --> 00:26:31.918 I'm not broke yet, so I feel like I'm still glad. 331 00:26:32.558 --> 00:26:35.738 But once that hits, I think then I'll be a little bit scared. 332 00:26:35.818 --> 00:26:39.378 But I just wanted to take a couple of months and really dive into it, 333 00:26:39.418 --> 00:26:43.998 work on content and kind of just see what I can do as far as getting the word 334 00:26:43.998 --> 00:26:46.138 out there on what I'm doing and stuff. 335 00:26:46.458 --> 00:26:49.398 And yeah, so the balance is really hard for 336 00:26:49.398 --> 00:26:53.218 sure i think having full-time job 337 00:26:53.218 --> 00:26:56.038 too and you know the demands that come with 338 00:26:56.038 --> 00:27:00.738 a full-time job it's really hard to balance those things out so but yeah definitely 339 00:27:00.738 --> 00:27:06.038 eventually it caught up to me so but yeah definitely just trying to look at 340 00:27:06.038 --> 00:27:11.418 music full-time and see what i can make of it you know and right exactly not 341 00:27:11.418 --> 00:27:15.738 30 yet so i feel like this is a good decision i still have six months until I'm 30. 342 00:27:15.898 --> 00:27:19.858 So this is kind of my mess around era right now. So, right. 343 00:27:20.684 --> 00:27:24.224 Now, in the past, I've interviewed Emily White. I don't know if you know who 344 00:27:24.224 --> 00:27:25.864 that is.

And 353 00:27:49.424 --> 00:27:52.964 that was, it really came in handy when it was time to launch this project. 354 00:27:53.404 --> 00:27:56.724 So shout out to Emily white, man.

As far as gigs I've seen, I feel like every gig I go to, I'm just always in awe. 366 00:28:44.224 --> 00:28:48.964 Especially bigger names, but even locally, man, it's cool to see people on their grind. 367 00:28:49.564 --> 00:28:54.524 I think my favorite artist to see in the Milwaukee area is Classic. 368 00:28:54.804 --> 00:28:57.404 He's a really good friend of mine, too, so I'm not just being biased. 369 00:28:57.404 --> 00:29:02.564 But I wholeheartedly think he's the most talented guy I've ever gotten to see do anything. 370 00:29:02.784 --> 00:29:07.244 So he's amazing. If you haven't seen him live or had a chance to talk to him 371 00:29:07.244 --> 00:29:08.504 or anything, let me know. 372 00:29:08.544 --> 00:29:12.784 I'd love to link you guys up because he's the reason why he's won like every 373 00:29:12.784 --> 00:29:13.944 award in the city of Milwaukee. 374 00:29:14.084 --> 00:29:16.344 As far as music goes, he's just amazing. 375 00:29:16.684 --> 00:29:20.684 And he's easily one of the most kindhearted and just awesome people to, 376 00:29:20.784 --> 00:29:22.364 you know, like having your circle too. 377 00:29:22.484 --> 00:29:26.584 So very cool. yeah definitely and then as far as shows i've played that have 378 00:29:26.584 --> 00:29:27.904 made a lot a big impression. 379 00:29:29.461 --> 00:29:33.641 Yeah, I'm not really sure. I mean, I've really enjoyed every show that we've 380 00:29:33.641 --> 00:29:36.881 played as a full band and that I've done as like a loop artist too. 381 00:29:37.501 --> 00:29:40.841 But yeah, I don't know. I mean, we just played at Oak Brewing last night. 382 00:29:40.901 --> 00:29:42.241 It's our second time playing there. 383 00:29:43.161 --> 00:29:47.581 That's an amazing venue. I love seeing what they've done with their stage setup 384 00:29:47.581 --> 00:29:50.241 and like their sound dampening as well as like the lights. 385 00:29:50.781 --> 00:29:54.441 They've really put a lot into that place. And I feel like, yeah, 386 00:29:54.501 --> 00:29:56.621 it's probably one of the best stages to play around. 387 00:29:56.881 --> 00:30:00.781 So and where's that? That's in Milwaukee, right? It's in West Allis. 388 00:30:00.801 --> 00:30:03.281 Oh, West Allis. Okay. Yeah. Just 20 minutes away. 389 00:30:03.521 --> 00:30:07.201 Yeah, there you go. Everything's 20 minutes away from Milwaukee, right? Yeah, totally. 390 00:30:08.521 --> 00:30:12.681 And if you had a time machine, you could go back and talk to your younger self, 391 00:30:12.761 --> 00:30:14.301 any advice you'd give yourself. 392 00:30:15.221 --> 00:30:19.481 Yeah, man. I would just tell myself to keep messing up because the more you 393 00:30:19.481 --> 00:30:21.381 mess up, the better of a musician you become. 394 00:30:21.701 --> 00:30:25.041 And yeah, you just got to mess up, man. You just got to keep messing up and 395 00:30:25.041 --> 00:30:28.361 don't take it personally, just get it over with. 396 00:30:28.501 --> 00:30:34.061 And as you continue to work on all of these things, like you eventually just get a lot better. 397 00:30:34.081 --> 00:30:37.001 So just keep messing up and, you know, keep your chin up through it. 398 00:30:37.681 --> 00:30:41.601 Absolutely. Yeah, that's great advice because, you know, I tell my students, 399 00:30:41.641 --> 00:30:46.361 I'm a band director at the high school and I tell them failure is just stepping stones to success. 400 00:30:47.241 --> 00:30:51.141 Eventually it's going to click and eventually you're going to become better 401 00:30:51.141 --> 00:30:52.121 at what you're working at. 402 00:30:52.867 --> 00:30:56.547 Yeah, totally. No, I couldn't agree with that more. I think even if you're self-taught 403 00:30:56.547 --> 00:31:01.867 or if you're taught at a higher level, you got to get your 10,000 hours in there 404 00:31:01.867 --> 00:31:04.067 before you can really just start crushing stuff. 405 00:31:04.407 --> 00:31:08.487 And yeah, you just got to keep messing up, man, because that's what makes all the difference. 406 00:31:08.927 --> 00:31:12.947 Exactly. Exactly. Is there anything that you want the listeners to know before I let you go? 407 00:31:13.627 --> 00:31:19.307 Follow me on Instagram at Dak Dubois.

Y'allllll! Laura and I are so, so excited to be putting this episode out into the world. The minute we cut recording on this interview, we scooted up our entire production timeline by two months so y'all could have THIS episode in your ears. An artist, musician, lyrical storyteller, and true Milwaukee legend, The Fader describes WebsterX's music as "a personal dive into the rapper's psyche". One of the most successful Milwaukee based musicians, WebsterX was awarded Solo Artist of the Year by Radio Milwaukee in 2016, and his album "Daymares" was voted album of the year the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in 2017. Nationally, he's contributed music for a Super Bowl ad, gotten signed to Vic Mensa's prior label, opened for Lil Yachty, and been featured in Entertainment Weekly, NPR, Pitchfork, TimeOut, Paper Magazine, and PBS among dozens of others. Alongside his solo success, WebsterX was a founding member of legendary Milwaukee-based music collective New Age Narcissism, co-founder of FreeSpace, a free, monthly, all-ages music showcase that invites Milwaukee's young creatives to come together and collaborate, and the organizer of Black is Beautiful's 3,000 rider strong bike ride in honor of mental health for people of color. On a personal level, WebsterX was one of Ryan's first friends in Milwaukee, and has been a long time inspiration and collaborator. This is a truly special episode with dozens of invaluable insights on the magic of being alive; including the power that rests in growing from our mistakes, harnessing alter egos, leveraging our platforms as creatives, marketing our magic, and where WebsterX is headed in the future.

The mayor's alternative version of the Black History Month recognition goes up for a final vote, but not before an intense debate featuring a “stick to sports” argument, some awkward anecdotes and a surprisingly relevant migratory bird resolution that passed just a month before. As we wrap up this trilogy on the battle for Black history in Brookfield, our hosts get personal as they reflect on the segregation in Milwaukee's suburbs.  Here are some notes and references from this episode:  A tip of the hat to Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Evan Casey, who covered this story as it happened. Read his story about Brookfield's Black History Month recognition, which includes some great photos of the students at the center of this story.   Check out 88.9 Radio Milwaukee's six-part podcast series "By Every Measure," which unpacks systemic racism in Milwaukee.  The Washington Post earlier this year examined the new Great Migration, in which Black Americans are returning back to the South. Lots of good data here.   Here's where you can check out Brookfield's International Migratory Bird Day resolution.  If you want to watch any of this drama play out as it happened, the City of Brookfield does record and post Common Council meetings.

My friend Scott was a student at MSOE in the early 90's, had an overnight dj slot and needed help while he was studying for exams. I came down to help out and basically never left.

Radio Milwaukee's Tarik Moody leads a discussion on NPR Music's number one album pick and why it's one of 2020's most important and potent releases.In just over a year, Sault has released three albums with little warning and scant member information. If the group's previous albums, '5' and '7' brought the funk-soul party, then 'Untitled (Black Is)' "funnels rage and sorrow into contemplative streams of thought, over equally brooding music meant to slow your heart rate," Marcus J. Moore wrote in his review for NPR Music. He further called the album "a robust collection of funk, soul, meditative spoken-word and protest chants meant to score the full spectrum of Blackness."This conversation about the Sault album originally ran live on NPR Music's YouTube channel shortly after the record was released in June.

The city of Milwaukee recently declared July 24th “Milwaukee Strong Day,” encouraging residents to remain united in the face of dual crises: the coronavirus pandemic and systemic racism.
