    78: David Cave & the Search for Meaning through Recovery Feb 05, 2020
    Show notes

    David Cave is a former skrams vocalist from Denver, Colorado - which is where most of the stories in this conversation take place. Because before moving to Boston and quickly becoming one of my best friends, David lead an entirely different life. From beginning to drink and smoke at a young age, to getting in recovery through meetings and having a sponsor, to eventually finding some peace with the universe, David has lived a lot of life in just 33 years. Now, 13 years sober, David finds himself reading a lot of existentialist works, in Dharmic meditation, and seeking a lot of meaning as he moves into perhaps the biggest next step in his life - fatherhood. We had a lot of fun recording this conversation late one Saturday night after eating a bunch of Buffalo Wild Wings, and it was totally time well spent. I hope you enjoy this one!

    MUSIC NOTE:
    - This week you got to hear tunes from the new Spanish Love Songs album, “Brave Faces Everyone,” which comes out this Friday (2/7) through Pure Noise Records.
    - On this episode, you got to hear the tracks, “Losers” and “Kick.” You can check out the entire “Brave Faces Everyone” album through all of the streaming platforms! Also, snag a vinyl copy of the album as well!

    Joe Palana is a stand up comedian based in Boston, he is also an autism researcher - and on this episode, we discuss the ways in which Joe connects those two aspects of his life. Joe is a quick-witted, hilarious person who I watch perform virtually each week. We dig into Joe’s history as a Harvard alum, how he traveled the country doing stand up comedy, as well as his love of ska, new wave hip hop and jazz. Joe also breaks down his connection to supporting individuals with autism and how his career became caring for this under-researched population. Hope you dig this episode, it was a blast to record!

    75: Rachel Betron & Anti-Imperialist Activism Nov 22, 2019
    Show notes

    This week I chatted with Rachel Betron! They work at Seattle University - in my home region of the Pacific Northwest! So it was nice to talk to someone so close to home! While Rachel and I haven’t met in human form yet, we hit it off quickly as this conversation quickly veered into some awesome topics. We started with Rachel’s educational and professional trajectory and eventually branched off into a larger conversation on the Seattle QTPOC DIY community - it’s roots in anti-imperialist and anti-fascist work. Rachel is a dedicated educator and activist and it was inspiring to hear them discuss these topics and I hope you enjoy the conversation!

    MUSIC NOTE:

    74: Josh Cyr (The World is a Beautiful Place...) & Challenging Toxic Masculinity Nov 13, 2019
    Show notes

    It’s time for a new season of the podcast! In this first episode back from the extended break, I sat down with Josh Cyr - who is the bassist from the band, The World is a Beautiful Place and I am No Longer Afraid to Die. We chilled out in the band’s tour van right before its sold out gig at the Great Scott in Boston - where Josh also played double duty playing bass for the opening act, Harmony Woods. Josh and I had a quick chat about his history in music, with TWIABP, and his perspectives on toxic and performative masculinity in the music scene. Essentially, our conversation can be boiled down to DON’T BE A DICK - which is fitting because one of the pieces of educational materials that our nonprofit provides goes by the same title. Alas, so thankful for Josh taking a moment out of his busy evening to chat with me.

    MUSIC NOTE:
    - This week you got to hear tunes from the new “Assorted Works” release from The World is a Beautiful Place and I am No Longer Afraid to Die. This 2xLP was recently issued by Triple Crown Records and it compiles a number of b-sides, songs from splits, and 7” releases into one massive collection of tunes from one of the most influential sources of music to hit the new wave of the emo scene for over a decade.
    - On this episode, you got to hear the tracks, “From the Crow’s Nest on Fire Street” and “Katamari Duquette.” You can check out the entire “Assorted Works” release through all of the streaming platforms! Also, snag a vinyl copy of the album as well!


    73: Jack Senff & the Act of Re-Inventing Yourself (Again) Aug 29, 2019
    Show notes

    Jack Senff is a singer-songwriter based out of Traverse City, Michigan. Jack has already had a wild ride through a number of genres and approaches to storytelling - especially as he’s transitioned from emo to post hardcore/skrams, and then into more contemporary indie jams - but now he’s truly on his own, using his own name, and releasing an incredibly stripped down release. Throughout his career, Jack has maintained his DIY ethics in touring, putting on gigs, and releasing his tunes - while continuing to amass and maintain a followership along the way.

    Since Jack and I met a couple years ago, we’ve sort of felt like kindred spirits - hitting it off right away and with a tenacity as if we’d known each other for years. So this conversation is a continuation of us learning more about each other as we discuss Jack’s musical history, masculinity, storytelling, and what it looks like to reinvent yourself and to live various lives through music. We hope you enjoy!

    MUSIC NOTE:
    - This week you got to hear tunes from the new Jack M. Senff album, “Good to Know You,” which comes out September 6 through Skeletal Lightning Records.
    - Jack Senff issues this album as his first true solo release of his career - while still relatively young, that career has included mass appeal from his previous acts, Merchant Ships, William Bonney, Knola, and Boy Rex. This album is the most stripped down release from Senff to date and serves as a testament to his vast abilities as songwriter.
    - On this episode, you got to hear the tracks, “Redbird,” “Old Day,” and “Somewhere.” You can check out the his tunes through his Bandcamp page, and through all of the streaming platforms! Also, snag a vinyl copy of the album as well!

Brian also opens up about how cosplay has helped manage his mental health en route to becoming a professional Predator cosplayer.
