This is the Liz Pelly interview for the real heads!! We have a (perhaps brutally) honest discussion about the state of DIY and our extractive relationship with big tech. How do we untangle? Since Silent Barn times we’ve been researching, organizing, and building alternatives. We outline some of them in a fruitful discussion of Liz’s new book outlining the many destructive tendrils of Spotify and the pitfalls of music under capitalism at large. Join UMAW!

Can you believe it? The gang gets annoyed with another Ridgewood restaurant. Maybe it’ll make you feel at peace that the #1 podcast for trans guy divorcees isn’t really freaking out about the destruction of the federal government. It is the men behind the curtains we’re worried about. How to kill tech bros in a video game??? They hire servants to game for them, it isn’t fair. Where’s the source? Where’s the spawn point? AI could never write this description, my consciousness is beyond machine measure. The fake lesbians were right: they’re not gonna get us.

The gang’s all here. Nas is back after a brief health holiday and OK is back from Rhode Island where he was an artist resident at the Wedding Cake House. Fresh from the arms of feminist collective care, we brainstorm how to build more refuges, how to increase access to art, and generate more collective visions. Can things scale? Will Ridgewood become Carroll Gardens? David Lynch’s death marks the end of the American century as government arts funding has completely dried up, this is the era of mutual aid, carelords rise up.

We also talked City ID, and this is the article that Kenneth mentioned about OMNY but couldn’t recall the publication: https://theintercept.com/2022/10/03/cubic-military-public-transit-mta-omny/

In our new series, Kenneth interviews New York violinist and composer Concetta Abbate. They discuss coming up in a family of working musicians, her early days of subway busking, working in New York City, and becoming a death doula as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kenneth and Marshall share one mic and OK gets his own. Big tech guys are tailoring online discourse for right wing climate change deniers. So instead of any leadership discussing decades of ecocide we’re stuck on woke homeless people. We think about Octavia Butler and Mike Davis and how it isn’t enough to know and live through collapse, as the LA mask bloc knows (donate to them), we must catch ourselves.

Marshall, Kenneth, and OK in what’s maybe the most neurotic host configuration yet buzz little poems in your ears about the trains, the violence, the holigays, and prob other stuff?? I wish I could quit you, talking into microphones. Perhaps the show could improve with money, but there’s no money. I took the autism test, but my score was really low actually!
Kenneth joins us in our furry freako catbird seats to discuss Luigi’s big media moment. Could this valedicktorian fag be a fall guy? Manifesto or just a statement? Ghost gun or real gun? Why McDonald’s? Why thank the feds? Feels like a big thermometer check, how razzed up can we get, how much speech can they can take away in the aftermath? And where’s the carousel killer when ya need her??
