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? So I freaked it. HEY NEW YORK ARE YOU READY FOR BRAT SUMMER *GUNSHOT* MY RENT IS TOO HIGH VENMO @0K-FOX FOR THE SECRET TAKES. We are making the podcast real with segments, I mean it this time. What has AOC done for you lately? Aren’t you tired of being nice? Don’t you wanna go apeshit? Our next merch is Spencer’s Gifts keychains, you heard it here first. We’re always right.

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
I’m sorry
I’m sorry

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.
