Cease & Desistmas 2020!!!

Here it is, in all it’s festive horridness. MixCloud of full songs to come. This should also be available on Spotify and all other podcast platforms. I intend to start getting up old episodes too, so hang tight.

Also, I have a new podcast with Blerg and Kittens from Undressing Underground called Zech’s Lost Phones. Find it on Spotify. Christmas episode coming up for that too.

Bless.

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!

Couple of things…

If you want a copy of an episode that’s not online, feel free to email me. I don’t know when I’ll get around to uploading all the old episodes again. I need to email archive.org and see if I can get rid of what I already uploaded and put everything on one page.

Also, I’m probably going to start another music-focused podcast. I’ll put the first episode in this show’s feed.

This show’s not dead forever. The constant transition from insane 40-70 hr/wk full time employment to total unemployment keeps wreaking havoc on my mind and ability to manage time.

Also, if you enjoyed the bits of my music that have appeared throughout this podcast, I have a new thing on bandcamp.

Cancelled: Edgar Allan Poecast 2017

Due to all the usual artists’ busy schedules and my own lack of time preventing me from soliciting submissions (I’m currently starting three new jobs), I’m going to have to cancel this year’s episode. We’ll try again next year.

image

The third annual Edgar Allan Poecast will be <looks at calendar>… Halloween! Which means the deadline will be <pulls back up calendar> October 24th.

The deadline is a bit loose, as usual, but I’m trying to give some extra time this year. As always, this call is open to anyone and everyone, so if you know anyone that wants to get involved, we’d love to have them. If you need help editing what you do, I can certainly try my hand at it, too. Give us whatever you’ve got.

Just send your submission to rob AT undressingunderground DOT com, or whatever ways you know of contacting me.

If you’re looking for examples, please do check out our previous episodes from 2015 and 2016.

Past guests include Sara Century, The Smudge, T. Volpone, Laura Squirrel, Jim Haku, Arvo ZyloJennifer C Martin and Daniel Martin, Motherwhore, Brandon Dumais, and no one else.

Episode 77 - 2nd Anniversary/Lost Puppies

This is the second anniversary episode. I’m still working everyday, so I didn’t have the time to do anything for it this year… So, here’s my friend’s latest lo-fi, sludgy, pop-rock album, Lost Puppies. His band is also called Lost Puppies. I hope you like it. I do.

Feel free to skip the 8 minute intro, which essentially repeats everything from this post.

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 hear more Lost Puppies at http://lostpuppies.bandcamp.com  

There’s about 6 other albums there, all good, and all with unintelligible lyrics. They’re all free, but I would suggest kicking him at least $5.

He’s not going to like that I did this. Sorry, John.

I have one or two more things coming up in the next month or so, but I’m also hoping to get back to interviews sometime in the next few months. If you know anyone that would like to talk, please reach out to me by email at rob at undressingunderground dot com or on twitter @falconvein.

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

Also, I set up a Patreon that charges per podcast, if you’re interested in donating. My goal is to eventually pay people who co-host and host the episodes on libsyn instead of using archive.org.

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 75 - Dane Eissler

This week Katie Rein talks to an old friend, the talented Dane Eissler, who has a plethora of artistic experience as a director, actor, writer, multimedia artist, puppeteer, and much more! They discuss his work and politics, how they intersect, and how they will continue to moving forward.

Katie herself has a loaded history of volunteering and working on campaigns (both of us having quit full time jobs to work on campaigns this past fall), so we talk about that for a little bit at the front.

If you’d like to get involved right now, Katie suggests you call your representatives utilizing the tools and scripts provided at http://5calls.org
