Jealous Much

Mercury retrograde flipped a switch on us and things have been a little hectic this past month, but today we sat down to breakfast, then we sat down at the mics and catch you up to speed. Tune in and let’s get reacquainted.

xox,

The Ladies of Jealous Much

It took many bribes - breakfast, coffee and a good heart to heart, but I did it, I dragged Jamie’s overtaxed corpse to the microphones for a new episode of The Jealous Much Podcast.

Listen to what we have been up to since you last heard from us: grad school, conspiracy theory research, honing the perfect chauffeur outfit, Soft Cell concerts, and other fun adventures in London and Manchester.

Where the hell have we been and what have we been up to? Not much, but we fill you in, give a concert review and tell you what the not too distant future has in store

This summer and our jobs have been terribly busy, but we are back where we belong, behind the mics with a new podcast. This episode covers many topics, but the majority of our time focuses on what Burning Man feels like for local Renoites just trying to live their daily life while the crazy, consumer circus passes in and out of our town in a cloud of alkali playa dust.  Our biggest gripe is that people just dispose of their trash where it rightfully belongs and, please, don't make the Native American Chief cry from your disrespect of his beautiful homeland.

Note:  the above photo does not belong to JM.  We wish it did.  If you know to whom it belongs, please advise so we can give due credit and our endless undying love to its creator.

It has always been the focus here at Jealous Much to keep it real. Today's podcast is rooted deep in that ideal.  Jamie and I fill you in what we have been up to the past couple weeks since we went missing in action from Jealous Much.  Let's just be honest here, the summer has been meh. Tune in and see where we have been and what we have been up to. 

What has been going on and how did we get here?  What will a weekend of no sleep and your favorite Dairy Queen location closing down get you?  Find out in this week's episode of The Jealous Much Podcast.  

We also filmed a video of Jamie dancing with a banana to Eddie Grant's Electric Avenue today, but after viewing the same, we decided it may have reached a level of suspended strangeness that even we weren't quite comfortable with, so a still will just have to suffice.  Some things are best left in the vault...

But on a HIGH NOTE, Jamie recorded a brand new song this weekend!!!  Go follow her soundcloud and show her the love she deserves

You might think that Pride is over and so there’s nothing gay left to celebrate. Well that’s not how we roll in Reno! July is Reno’s Pride month... so we brought in a little glimmer of artistic sunshine as our newest special guest. We welcomed queer African American artist DePaul Vera to the Jealous Much mics this week! He is pure magic! And we’re so glad we caught him just before he leaves Reno for a fabulous, International career!

gofundme for DePaul's big move to Miami!

It's an all new episode of Jealous Much! Starring Jamie and Christine... who both just beamed back down onto the planet from two very different vision quests. Interesting people have been coming out of the woodwork, and for sure, these situations have called for true tests of all that we have learned in therapy. What does one do when one's mental terror dome is polished clean by closure and possibility? Good lord. What does it all mean?!

The Jealous Much Team had a whirlwind of a weekend!  Our good friend, Erika, pulled off her dream wedding without a hiccup, and we spent the weekend with our beloved Bears, who were here for the blessed nuptials.  Congratulations to Erika and Montana from the Jealous Much Media Empire. We love you kids!!!

Because we love our listening audience, we crammed in a MEGA 2 HOUR PODCAST EXTRAVAGANZA with our Bay Area Bear Friends, Kyle and Rick, when they arrived in town Friday night.  Not only will you learn why leopard print sheets are the best choice to cover your furniture for your next bear sex party, but you will hear sex tips from Kyle, and stories of furry conventions and lurid chicken pot pie hotel hook ups.

We are so happy we could finally get these bears on the mics and share them and their great tales with you.

This morning we shared breakfast and our podcast mics with our old friend, Darren Barnes.  Not only is Darren the main power drummer dad of Reno in such bands as gob, plastic caves and alphabet cult, but he has also been a vital part of the Reno scene since the 80s: either through his winning 80s dance contest displays, various explosive pyrotechnic dalliances, DJing as D6, running his labels (satan's pimp and intruder alert), or manning Hotshot the Robot.  While he is not someone to talk himself up, we celebrate his accomplishments and wax nostalgic with funny snippets from the good old days in Reno and beyond.  

If you weren't there for the hilarious train wrecks of the 90s the below pictures may not make much sense, but take them in and return to this post once you have listened because we share the stories behind the images in this episode.  

Thanks for joining us today Darren!!!  It was a blast!
