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.

Outro Music is “everything comes easy” from the 2016 record 400 LB BEAUTIFUL CYBER by Scammers
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.
Hey fam it’s the 9/11 episode. Be fucked up or sad about it, whatever the tone barometer’s at this year. For me? Personally? It’s death to the west all day. Xi, do you hear me zaddy? Put me in shifu. We watched that republican primary ass debate for some reason. Trumpism is dead, is this something worse? If you stick around til the end you’ll hear us go traditional values on DIY booking, something we are apparently willing to defend with our lives. The Carousel Killer’s not gonna prevent me from getting overcharged for the terrible acoustics at Knockdown Center.

Welcome to the Garden of Theory and Praxis, the Graveyard of the Vibes, the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth, it’s Art and Labor! Joined by champions of the pod David Turner of Penny Fractions and Liz Ryerson of The Blood Zone, we reckon with teleology and how it occupies space (almost…as if…it were…a body??), learn a little about how the music and games industries are dealing with the nightmare of NFTs being forced down our throats as the new financial model (watch this space for the Art and Labor stolen jpeg of the Campbell’s soup can, but don’t worry we’re only doing it ironically), and round table on the new Matrix, mostly guided by the reactionary we haven’t killed in our head yet.

Welcome to Art and Labor your #1 source of queer nu metal speculation and investigation. Nostalgia is the reason for the season so we’ve brought on fellow scholar of early 2000s media, Matt of Machine Girl. Turns out genres are just genders! We host an open dialog on our common areas of expertise, Spiderman Elsa videos, body pillows, horror as queer cinema, and fortnite punk houses. We need Mormonism 3 to determine who is a good sicko in IMVU and who is a bad sicko SVA professor. We demand full erasure of Kevin Spacey from Moon (Duncan Jones, you have 24 hours to respond.) 50% of the people on this podcast are on edibles, can you guess who?

Content warning right at the top we talk about heavy stuff like addiction and sexual abuse, but also this conversation is really funny like an episode of Stella comprised of three art freaks instead. Please follow Caroline (@sticesticestice) and stream Stice for clear skin. Did you know? Your favorite artist’s former girlfriend probably makes amazing art! Also girls is muscled up art handlers too—we can, in fact, do it. If you wanna know the bleeped band you’ll have to listen to the part 2 on Patreon ?.
