Nu Art and Labor is she/hir!! We’re graced with the multitalented drag king, puppeteer, and playwriter Ashely Pignataro aka Vape Kid Jr.!!! Fresh off the nearly sold out run of her play The Cool Zone at The Brick Theater, she lends us wonderful reflections on anti-fascist, anti-imperalist, and anti-Ru Paul transsexual art. A true kindred spirit of this psycho little show, we discuss how to re-educate our police state compliant populace, neighbors, and friends. We’ve decided to save Ridgewood from its addiction to cishet normativity! We’ve decided to call out queer events like Twinks vs Dolls for being hostile to queer living! We’ve decided to yell at Zohran at his queer liberation march photo op! Shoutout to Demo for engineering this episode with expropriated institutional resources. We are being squeezed more and more every day, but will always find margins to make art in, and fire out the takes for yooooouuuuuu!!! <3

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!

There’s a new Venom movie and you know what that means, Kevin is back!!! Apologies to all the #symbrock heads, we watched it after recording this 😫😫😫 Our verdict was go see it!!! We do render judgement over less important stuff like the US election and the Vatican. Who are YOU writing in for American pope? We served the most cunt at the nu nu metal Halloween show. What else happened? Kevin and OK got yelled at on the bus. Marshall got psyop’d at grocery store. Nas is a cardinal of the Young Pope fandom. Ya know, just Art and Labor things ✨💞

We’re joined by former West Coast farm kid and current UMAW member Kenneth of Slashed Tires fame!!! We should have put one of their songs as the ending but instead we got obsessed with Tommy Tone’s Brian Wilson mix. We have bad brains! We talk about trans celebs having geopolitical takes, stop & shop, and expensive sandwiches with no pickle and millenial aesthetics 🤬
In the bonus episode we do a book review about mystery, murder, and the middle class. We’re not naming the book because we don’t want to get sued. Will the big bad Bard and accursed Airbnb get their due? Is the author exploiting her relationship with the victim? We have complicated feelings and personal connections of our own. Can we cash in on the trauma too? LISTEN AND SUPPORT US: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-l-book-109533616
Nas is on the dating apps, Marshall gets drafted into the trash pickers union, and OK gets called a dirty hippie 🥵 All pretty routine, episode 200 should prob be more special than this?

OK opens this panel by accosting the Nowadays crowd, a necessary struggle session to ground the conversation physically to art venues’ position to PR, finance, and real estate. We then discuss strategies and wins from music worker organizing with members of Union of Musicians and Allied Workers and Music Workers Alliance. We are honored to be in the Penny Fractions family, congratulations to David for 5 amazing years of critical research on the music industries. Support him here. For the second half of the evening, which discussed music streaming with Liz Pelly and Cherie Hu, follow the Money 4 Podcast.
The band in hell Plays all night long It’s a sold out show And there is only one song
There is no rhythm And there is no rhyme It goes on forever Until the end of time
And now the devil he plays guitar And Hitler plays the drums I’m the man on the microphone This is what I’ve become
I’m sorry that I’m sorry that I love you I’m sorry I I’m sorry I am what I am Another coal on the fire
Now there was once a man Who walked the Earth with no shoes He went from town to town Playing rhythm and blues
And there was love in every note that he played And there was truth in every word that he sang He offered those who believed his guarantee But somehow he missed me
And I’m sorry that I’m sorry that I love you I’m sorry I I’m sorry I am what I am A damnation to you
Participation trophy caucus of A+L (OK and Sarah) discuss How To with John Wilson’s first episode of their new season, “How to Invest in Real Estate”. We truly love John Wilson, he’s our generation’s neurotic New York white guy, but not a scumbag. As we pray for his career to continue to flourish, let’s do some critical thinking: How do artists balance the necessary self-delusion to create good work with the equally urgent need of insisting on collective solutions to the everyday problems we encounter? Can we give brilliant work the critique it deserves? How could you say no to Mama? How could you see a missing option if you don’t know it exists? OK gets triggered, Sarah reveals her newest psycho theory of mind, and we both sit comfortably in our armchairs smoking cigars while everyone else throws bricks in the streets.
