Hello Listeners! In this episode, we had the opportunity to have a conversation again with Ruel. Ruel is the youngest ever recipient of an ARIA Award. He boasts over 3 billion streams globally, has sold out the iconic Sydney Opera House twice, completed four sold-out world tours and taken home two MTV Europe Awards. Ruel delivers an emotional ballad cover of Sixpence None The Richer's 90s hit 'Kiss Me,' taken from his cover EP 'Adaptations,' set to be released on August 1st via Recess Records and Giant Music. Ruel brings back the beloved soundtrack with his own vulnerable twist, accompanied by a reverb-laden trio of piano chords ready for a slow dance. Ruel's unique rendition makes the song distinctively his own.  This EP continues Ruel's musical journey following his debut album in 2023, 4TH WALL. The album showcased Ruel's mature sound with high-level lyrics, shifting from euphoric pop to contemplative moods, with cinematic visuals inspired by The Truman Show. This pop phenomenon captures the waves of human experience—reflecting on love, longing, heartbreak, and everything in between—solidifying his global status as a pop icon.  Listen full episode on Bingkai Suara with Roy and don't forget to follow our podcast on any podcast platforms, our Instagram Bingkai Karya, and stay updated with our recent news on www.bingkaikarya.com

We've had run of Olympia music history episodes on the pod but with this one we're heading south on i-5 and sprinkling in some stand-up comedy history. Episode 73 is a conversation with my good friend, stand-up comic and 90's/00's Portland punk Gabe Dinger. Now based in Los Angeles, Gabe and I met in 2011 when we were both working the stand-up stages of Portland. Gabe was one of my favorite established comics on the scene and after becoming friends we bonded further on our shared punk history. He tells us about his preteen punk awakening in the Nu metal era. After being informed by a skater friend that there was more to punk than Green Day he followed the breadcrumbs left by bands like 7 Seconds and the DK's to discover a vital current Portland scene centered around all ages Stage Four club and his high school punk band (and Recess Records' artists) Berserk. From there we explore Gabe's bio as a stand-up comic and the history of the Portland comedy scene that has helped develop many well known comics of today like Shane Torres, Ian Karmel, Amy Miller (TMpod ep. 31), and Gabe's tourmate and bestie Ron Funches to name but a few. Thanks for listening and for supporting the pod. Enjoy! Gabe's Instagram SUPPORT THE POD THANK YOU!

Being camped up here in our place in Riverwest has been fun some days, sad some others, and in some cases eye opening on how many cool projects I have been able to work on now that we haven't been going out to the bars or shows almost every night.

Mike Watt is a bona fide punk rock legend. And he probably hates being described like that. His work with The Minutemen and fIREHOSE is seminal stuff, and hard to describe, especially The Minutemen. The second you hear it, you know it's punk, but it's also funk and jazz and so many other things, and completely in-the-moment music. It's as if all music, past and present, lives on the same plane, and he's filtering all of it at once. The reason for that, he says in this interview, is that when he and D. Boon started, they were innocent of genre delineations. They knew Creedence and Van Halen and a few other bands, but they weren't locked into FM radio expectations. When Watt heard jazz great John Coltrane, he thought he was listening to punk. More than anything, Watt is a seeker. On his new project, Jumpstarted Plowhards, he found a new way to collaborate. He recorded bass parts for a batch of songs and sent them to Todd Congelliere of Toys That Kill and F.Y.P. Congelliere then recorded vocals and guitar parts and found a revolving cast of drummers to complete the songs. The result is a tough and tuneful merging of their voices. The new album, Round One, is out October 4 on Recess Records, and that's where the conversation begins. Along the way, we talk about the different ways Watt has kept his creative juices flowing, the early days of The Minutemen and how he didn't even know what a bass guitar was when D. Boon's mom told him that's what he was going to play, what he learned from playing with The Stooges, making rock operas for major labels, the unreleased Minutemen stuff he's playing on his new tour, and the new Missingmen and Secondmen albums in the works. On a more personal note, it is wonderful to have Watt on this podcast. He was the first person I interviewed as a “journalist,” back in 1995. I had thought the tape of that interview was long gone, but I found it just this week. I have to admit, it's a little cringe-inducing for me to hear how unprepared I was for this interview. Fortunately for me, Watt is a warm and open guy, which comes across in both interviews. The interview took place on October 7, 1995, outside of The Showplace Theater in Buffalo, New York. Watt had made a big splash with his solo debut, Ball-Hog or Tugboat?, which featured Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, Dave Grohl just as he was getting Foo Fighters going, J Mascis, Henry Rollins, and a lot of other musicians that represented some of the best and most well-known alternative players at the time. Watt was on the Crew of the Flying Saucer tour with Nels Cline on guitar and Michael Preussner and Vince Meghrouni on drums. I had grabbed my tape recorder on my way out the door, but hadn't actually expected to get to speak with Watt. When I asked the door person at if Watt might be open to answering a few questions for the University at Buffalo campus magazine, they said “sure” and let me up into the green room. Watt was apparently getting a bit of rest in the van, and I hung out with Preussner, chewing his ear off until Watt came upstairs. Standing out on the street, Watt showed me his signature Econoline van, complete with bullethole in the bumper, as fans streamed into the venue and said hello. The new album from Jumpstarted Plowhards is called Round One, and it will be available October 4 on Recess Records, which you can find at www.recessrecords.com. Round Two is already in the works, and look for the band to start playing live once they've got to Round Five. And you can keep up with Watt and check his tour dates and news on his Web page at www.hootpage.com. We are approaching Halloween, which means it is time once again for the Daily Horror Film Fest. Every day through October, the Department of Tangents presents a different short horror film. If you have a favorite short horror film, or if you yourself have made a short horror film, tell me about it, and it may wind up in the fest. E-mail me at nick@nickzaino.com and show me what you've got. This week's featured track comes from stand-up comedian Dave Ross's new album, The Only Man Who Has Ever Had Sex, out now on A Special Thing Records. He's been on Drunk History, the WTF podcast, The Last Late Show with James Corden and a bunch of others. Ross is a storyteller, but with a lot of sneaky punches hiding in these looping kind of tales. He will be on the podcast soon, so you'll hear more about that. Find out more about Ross and the new album on his Web site at www.davetotheross.com. This is the track that sold me on the album. It's called “I Attack Strangers.”

David Demchuk's first novel, The Bone Mother, came highly recommended to me at NECON this year by Matt Moore, whom I interviewed in EP104. Demchuk and Moore are both on ChiZine Publications, which had a table in the dealers room. So I picked up The Bone Mother, not knowing what to expect, and innocently set about reading the first fifty pages later that evening. It's a novel told in short stories that, when taken together, form a story about a hunted and tortured class of people in Eastern Europe, many of whom happen to have supernatural traits or powers, and don't always do pleasant things with them. The first story presents Borys, who marries his brother. His brother then dies, and Borys is then forced to take his place working at the local thimble factory, which, it turns out, is a scary place all on its own. There is a black and white photo accompanying Borys's story, of two sturdy, emotionless gentlemen who look very much like brothers sitting with a bouquet of flowers between them. Most every story has a matching photo, taken from the archives of Roman photographer Costica Acsinte between 1935 and 1945, as the book's end notes state. They are evocative, and part of the impetus that sparked Demchuk to write the play, The Thimble Factory, upon which this novel is based. The strange quality of the photographs helped Demchuk write to some of his favorite themes, queerness and monstrosity, and wrap them in the familiar feel of folklore. He knew there would be parallels to the contemporary experience of queerness being labeled as “other” or even dangerous, but The Bone Mother turned out to be even more forward-thinking than he had originally planned. And it's also one hell of a horror story. The book is called The Bone Mother from ChiZine Publications. You can find out more about Demchuk at his Web site, www.daviddemchuk.com, and find him on Twitter under @david_demchuk. You can find more info on ChiZine Publications at www.chizinepub.com. Halloween is upon us! I am putting together my Daily Horror Film Fest, which means a different short horror film every day through October, and I need your help. If you have made a short horror film, or you just have a favorite you'd like more people to see, e-mail me at nick@nickzaino.com and let me know. And now, this week's featured track, “On the Counter” by Jumpstarted Plowhards, from their upcoming album Round One, out October 4 on Recess Records. This is a collaboration between Todd Gongelliere of Toys That Kill and F.Y.P. and Mike Watt of the Minutemen and fIREHOSE, who will talk about the project on next week's episode. Watt recorded the bass tracks and then sent them to Congelliere to add drums, guitars, and vocals. You can here both personalities mingling to create something slightly different than either would have produced on their own. Round Two has already started, and the band plans to tour once they've got five albums under their belt. I'm thrilled to give you your first taste of the project.

We talk about how their previous projects (such as FYP) and current projects (such as The Underground Railroad to Candyland)contribute to the Toys That Kill sound, the benefits of having the same line-up for so long and the stigma of punk being a young person's game.

This week on Episode 72 of Bobby Pickles' Podcast (Dying Scene Radio #17), the Bobs’ digital smoke signals to Ben Weaselfinally pays off, as the Screeching Weaselfounder and frontman guest hosts the show, joining Bob Noxious and Bobby Pickles in studio to discuss everything under the sun, from bums to farming to fat, middle-aged punk rock stereotypes - the three blather back and forth about a slew of interesting, unconventional topics. Weasel’s epic punk rock opus - Baby Fat Act 1 - is out now on Recess Records. Episode 17’s recurring theme: Performance Art. SYNOPSIS OF BANTER The show wouldn’t be the same without a local weather report, so right off the bat, Bobby the meteorologist asks for an oral account on the state of precipitation in the area encompassing Ben’s hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. Ben responds that he is enjoying a nice sunny day overlooking his cattle grazing in the Alfalfa fields. Who knew that Ben Weasel was a farmer!? Ben interrogates Bobby about his decision to employ a homeless person as a model for his T-shirt company. Bobby reveals how he first met “the bum”, who was living inside of Penn Station, when Bobby first moved to NYC. Bobby, who was managing a cell phone kiosk, thought it rather ironic that a bum would have a cell phone, so he struck up a friendship with the man. Ben commends Bobby on his humanitarian efforts, when Bobby admits to housing and employing “the bum”. Ben concedes to feeling like “a heel” for trying to make a joke about it. Intrigued by the new-found thought of employing bums as T-shirt models, Bob suggests to Bobby that maybe he should consider publishing a calendar as a way to support the homeless on a more regular basis, which Ben wholeheartedly agrees upon. While on the subject of T-shirts, Bobby bounces an idea off of Bob and Ben: “What about a “mash-up” tee, depicting the recently deceased B.B. King as G.G. Allin (B.B. Allin) - complete with poo and tattoos?” In unison, Ben and Bob both agree that it is way too soon for that much poor taste, but that King’s heirs should be entitled to some of the profits if that were to happen. Like a kid at Disney World, Bobby cannot contain his excitement as he gleefully tells Ben that not only did he purchase Baby Fat Act 1 from iTunes on the day of its release, but that he has listened to the entire offering three times already. Ben explains the general concept behind his punk rock opera, which is played out by many singers and complete with a libretto - but for a more comprehensive breakdown of the characters and plot, please read Ben’s exclusive interview with the Italian magazine, Tempi. Baby Fat is based on the opera, Rigoletto, which Bobby admits to watching the Luciano Pavarotti version online earlier in the afternoon after not being able to find a cassette deck to play his Italian grandfather's audio version. The conversation turns to crowdfunding. There’s a common misconception in the “record business” about artists who “beg” for money from their fans, but Ben justifies his use of crowdfunding to finance his operatic masterpiece by comparing it to nothing more than a glorified pre-order, but without the recoupable advance from the record company. He also states that crowdfunding is really a tool in-line with the old standby D.I.Y. ethics of yesteryear. The artist maintains control by doing everything for his or herself; therefore, cutting out the middle-man, which benefits the artist in terms of receiving larger royalty percentages as well. After nearly 30 years of playing punk music, Ben proclaims that punk bands will always shoot themselves in the foot, based on their misguided principles. He goes on to point out that most of them spend too much time, himself included, apologizing for their actions and what they say; meanwhile, Bob is preparing to play a new track from Chicago’s The Copyrights, who Ben declares “complete douchebags” who “can certainly dish it out, but [they] can’t take it”. Ben continues by stating sarcastically that ska/punk music died out in the 90’s. Bob mentions that musical styles tend to run in cycles and that maybe there will be a resurgence in the genre sometime in the near future, which Ben is quick to dismiss. Ben inquires about the origins and operations of Dying Scene, asking if it is corporately owned, or indeed run by a team of fans and writers. Bobby compares it to a grass roots operation. Ben goes on to say that if it was corporately owned, he wouldn’t necessarily have a problem with it, reminding everyone that, after all, Screeching Weasel is incorporated too. Weasel continues by telling a story about another popular online news gathering website, leveraged by investors and bought out without informing their staff of contributors, the result of which being one person walking away with a huge cash-grab and then going into seclusion. Ben tells the story of how he met Bob’s mutual friend, ex-Pink Lincolns frontman, Chris Barrows. The two used to trade their respective bands’ cassettes through the legendary punk periodical, Maximum Rock and Roll, and the US Mail. Ben explains how he had Chris in mind when coming up with the Zannoni character on Baby Fat, elaborating further about what a great job Chris did on the record, singing “God Damn You” in a key that is normally not in Chris’ wheelhouse. Ben discloses that Chris is his oldest friend, not in age, but in longevity. Bob deadpans that Chris is his oldest friend, not in longevity, but in age... On a sidenote, Bob played all of the guitars on Chris Barrows’ 2014 debut solo album Human Being. One notable track on the record is “Not It”, which happens to feature vocals by none other than Mr. Ben Weasel himself. Go find it on iTunes! Honestly, this synopsis could go on forever. The three blather back and forth relentlessly for over an hour about woman-punching, the current state of the music industry, Ben’s jaded self-interested in his own music, his predilection for Taylor Swift and the Frozen soundtrack, which is a clear indication that Weasel either has a daughter (or really bad taste in music), how PEARS were more than likely manufactured in a corporate board room by guys in suits with pie charts, the political predispositions of a fat, drug-riddled record executive who should stick to writing songs about “boobs and doing blow”, and how Rancid’s Tim Armstrong, who Ben remembers as “Lint”, finally found his voice. To know what else landed in Weasel’s cross-hairs, you’ll simply have to listen to the episode. “Kids...stay in school. Stay off drugs.
