We had a seriously inspiring chat with Barret Baumgart about his wild creative path and his deep dive into the world of Joshua Trees. It’s kind of hilarious—this tree that people used to hate is now a full-on icon for beauty and spirituality. Barrett, in his latest book YUCK, walks us through that irony with a wink, and we get into the messy, magical business of writing about the environment ✨

We talked about how tricky it is to tell the truth about nature in a world that sometimes feels allergic to facts, and why humor an absurdity are actually powerful tools for making sense of it all. Barrett reminds us that art isn’t just about pretty pictures or clever words—it’s a way to wake up, connect, and really feel the awe and mystery of being alive on this planet. If you’re into questioning, laughing, and falling in love with the weirdness of nature, this conversation’s for you.

In this episode of the Aliens Love Earth podcast, we get real about the music industry’s environmental footprint—and why it matters. But we’re not just here to point out problems. We’re shining a light on the fresh tech and creative solutions that musicians (yes, even indie artists!) can use to lighten their carbon load and make a positive impact.

👀 The key takeaways?

• One average tour by a mid-level band produces as much CO2 as a household in a year.

• New tech allows musicians to shrink their environmental footprint.

• Asking how to make a gig the greenest version can spark change.

• Virtual concerts and live streaming reduce travel emissions.

• Smart routing apps can help plan fuel-efficient tours.

• Venues are increasingly sharing their sustainability efforts.

• Fans can contribute to offsetting travel emissions through ticketing.

• Eco-conscious streaming platforms are becoming more popular.

• Artists can share their carbon stats to build trust with fans.

• Future innovations may include AI for greener touring options.

🌍✨ Welcome to another Community Tracks episode of Aliens Love Earth—the show where we heal the Earth with art. In this special edition, we’re spotlighting the very best indie tracks sent in by our amazing eco-conscious community.

Whether you’re an indie artist, a dedicated music fan, or just here for the good vibes, you’ll discover fresh sounds and inspiring stories that prove music is a universal language—no matter what planet you’re tuning in from.

This week’s Interplanetary Picks:

1. Oreaganomics – Wasting Summer Online

Oreaganomics captures the bittersweet vibe of summer slipping by, blending layered production and honest reflection on our modern habits. Their story of recording birds outside brings nature right into the track, grounding us in the present. As they remind us: the best moments can’t be streamed—they have to be lived. Or as Oreaganomics puts it: “Life will suck less if you go out and live.”

Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/70D76Oq2qstSQnJMdzapcI?si=19bc1b16a9f74702

2. Paulo and the Problems – Cruise Control

If Saturn had a summer road trip, “Cruise Control” would be the soundtrack. Paulo and the Problems deliver a genre-blending masterclass, weaving jazz, indie, R&B, and hip-hop with effortless cool. The sense of joy, community, and Fogwood Records’ collaborative spirit shines through. This track—and the whole Stupid Sexy Paulo album—feels like a love letter to creative community, earning its spot as an Interplanetary Pick.

3. Palejoy – Next Goal Wins

“Next Goal Wins” by Palejoy is the anthem for anyone orbiting uncertainty. From the first note, you’re pulled into a world where the pressure to have it all together meets the reality of just trying to get by. With nostalgic artwork, playful video, and lyrics that cut deep into generational struggles, Palejoy reminds us to sing our hearts out—even when we don’t know what’s next.
