DREAM WIFE | Portrait Series Nov 24, 2020

Show notes

Two for Tuesday! Pretty much everything is messed up about the thanksgiving holiday, historically speaking, it’s all kinds of wrong, but, the thankfulness part is something we can get behind! So for this holiday week we are also thankful for London-based punk trio Dream Wife – who released their explosive sophomore album ‘So When You Gonna’ produced and mixed by Bjork-producer Marta Salogni. The record deals with topics such as miscarriage and gender equality and was made entirely by a non-male engineering team. Dream Wife are donating all proceeds from digital Bandcamp orders of the record to Black Minds Matter and Gendered Intelligence. @blackmindsmatter.uk connects Black individuals and families with professional and mental health services across the U.K., and @genderintelligence aims to increase understandings of gender diversity, working with the trans community and those who impact on trans lives, with a focus on supporting young trans people 8-25. We are thankful to our guests and listeners! Find us at Launchleft.com or wherever you her podcasts.

JACKIE LYNN | Portrait Series Nov 24, 2020

Show notes

Two for Tuesday! Pretty much everything is messed up about the thanksgiving holiday, historically speaking, it’s all kinds of wrong, but, the thankfulness part is something we can get behind! So for this holiday week’s two for Tuesday first drop, we are thankful for new yorker Jackie Lynn, who introduces us to the bands concept record JACQUELINE about a long haul trucker... a day in the life of a woman both alone and together with her own thoughts. The conversation centers around creativity in isolation, finding her own voice and uncovering the unique visual component to accompany her live performances.
