Episode 72 - Emma Houxbois & Kayla Miller

Welcome to the first installment of a series of interviews Sara Century and I are doing with different women, queer, LGBT, and POC artists about working during a Trump administration.

This week Sara Century speaks to comic book critic Emma Houxbois and I speak to illustrator and comic book artist Kayla Miller!

Each week we will be talking to different artists that we know and/or respect about how they are processing the current state of our nation and how they plan to proceed with their work. This isn't a call to "Make Punk Great Again," these are conversations with real artists about how they plan to approach the real challenges they face.

We'll be doing this through inauguration day at the least, so we hope you'll continue to join us! If you know anyone we should talk to, or there is anyone that you would personally like to talk to, feel free to submit names, suggestions, or your own recorded interviews to rob at undressingunderground dot com. Also, feel free to leave us a voicemail with your own thoughts and feelings at 260-PUNK-POD (260-786-5763).

In the meantime, do check out Kayla Miller’s work on her website, on tumblr, and on Twitter! And check out Emma Houxbois’s work at The Rainbow Hub and Comicosity, and on Twitter! And of course check out Sara Century’s website here!

Episode 78 - Feliz Navidad

Happy Holidays! A quick episode with my friend Ileana about some Christmas traditions in Mexico that I didn't know about and I'm guessing you didn't either.

I have some more things planned for the future, but we know how that goes. But if you or anyone you know would like to talk, please reach out to me by email at rob at undressingunderground dot com or on twitter @cannedricewater.

Also, if you have anything you would like to be featured on the podcast, whether an interview, an album, a radioplay, or whatever, feel free to send it to my email. I'm more than happy to promote anything you've got.

Thanks!

Episode 76 - Nia King, Drew Arriolla-Sands, Ambrosia Bartosekulva

Today Sara Century finally finishes off our series of talks with artists and critics about their plans and feelings going forward in our current cultural climate. We’re sorry about the delay, but between the two of us we’re suddenly working like 150 hours/week after months of a combined 0 hours/week. We were actually going to upload this on Friday but then as we were getting it ready WWIII happened...

But, we’re here now! Or she is. And she’s talking to a few more of her crazy talented friends about their work and their plans for their work despite society’s now impending expiration date. First up is “We Want the Airwaves” podcaster and multimedia journalist Nia King, followed by TRAP GIRL’s Drew Arriola-Sands, and then we wrap things up with abstract multimedia and just a general lexical gap of an artist, Ambrosia Bartošekulva!

Each week Sara Century, Katie Rein, and I have been talking to different artists that we know and/or respect about how they are processing the current state of our nation and how they plan to proceed with their work. This wasn’t a call to “Make Punk Great Again,” these were conversations with real artists about how they plan to approach the real challenges they face.

We’ve done six of these episodes now and talked to eleven artists and critics (or thirteen if you include me talking to Sara and Katie), and I feel like we’ve gotten a good sample of artists down. Because Sara and I are so incredibly busy these days we are officially ending this series here, though one or both of us will be back in the future to do more casual interviews, mixtapes, and whatever the fuck else.

However, if you happen to know anyone we should talk to, or there is anyone that you would personally like to talk to, feel free to submit names, suggestions, or your own recorded interviews to rob at undressingunderground dot com. Also, feel free to leave us a voicemail with your own thoughts and feelings at 260-PUNK-POD (260-786-5763).

We’ll be back.

In the meantime, please click on all of the links and support all the artists above (including Sara Century)! Also, if you’re just joining us, go back and check out the other interviews that the three of us have done and go way back to check out some of our other talks. I’ll get the rest of those up eventually....

Episode 71 - Bree Davies

This week we present a slightly older interview Sara Century did with Bree Coco Davies! 

As always you can find this episode on iTunes, FeedBurner/RSS, Stitcher, or by clicking here and doing the whole right click > “Save As…” deal.

Image randomly grabbed off Bree’s twitter cause I’m still sick and delirious.

I was in the hospital last week and I still have the flu, so I’m still really out of it and don’t want to fuck up descriptions, so, here’s Bree’s Twitter bio:

Freelance stretch pants. Denver in body/Rick's Cafe Americain in spirit. All ages/DIY advocate @titwrench cofounder. I put on for my city. Really, really bossy.

You can also hear Bree’s old band, Night of Joy, at their bandcamp and you can read some of Sara Century’s favorite articles by her below:

Shut Up, Dave Grohl

Stop Being Indignant on Behalf of Rich White Dude Paul McCartney

Dear Diary: Why won't this ska boy notice me? Where is my Nirvana shirt? I have nothing to wear!

And hey! Don’t forget to support Sara Century and all the crazy shit she’s doing over at her website! She performed, recorded, and edited today’s interview, so if you dig it at least go check out some of her zines and writings, too!

Sara Century and I will be back next week with a new project we’ll be doing at least through inauguration day. 

If you have performed and interview, would like to perform an interview, or would like to do some other sort of audio piece you’d like to feature here, feel free to reach out to me here, on twitter, or by email at rob at undressingunderground dot com!

Episode 67 - Jon Seidman’s Book Sucks

I posted this on iTunes about a week ago and forgot about it.

This is the latest installment of the Failure Saga featuring the emotionally self-coddled loser Jon Seidman talking about social media and some other stupid, inconsequential bullshit. He asked to be on this and then spent most of the time talking about how he’s not a loser because you all are the losers for not following him on Instagram. He’s dating a teenager.

As always you can find this episode on iTunes, FeedBurner/RSS, Stitcher, or by clicking here and doing the whole right click > “Save As…” deal.

You can also go buy his book or go to his website, which he let the url to lapse two years ago.

Oh, and don’t forget to listen to me slosh my way through Eric Roberts is the Fucking Man. He played an old song Jill and I wrote.

I didn’t do any interviews yet. I need to move out. Living here isn’t working for this sorta stuff.

Episode 63 - A bunch of failures

Today’s episode is late because I’m a failure. So, I talked to some of my friends about being failures. Also, how not to be failures. But mostly about being failures.

They’re not really failures. America is the failure, amirite?
