This week in the Habitat I was joined by the great Waffles from @wafflesweekly. Her prolific output of videos, photos, show plugs, and passion for capturing musical moments have led to a sucessful, self-supportive artistic career. We talk about how she got there and what it takes to navigate a scene.

 

Some people Waffles would like to thank that have been great support in 2019 that should’ve been mentioned

A man of many talents: it's Robert M. Grammer, aka Rob G. He's drummer for Henry the Archer, founder of Klarity Music Group (producer of Sage Mode Summer by @sagemodewrex, winner of Fort Worth Weekly's Album of the Year) and co-host of the #unfriended podcast. We talk about Rob's book and the beginning of Klarity Music Group, then Rob shares some specific instances of anxiety and depression how he copes with an absent mother. We also talk about relationships, podcasting, Theo Von, and a lot more. This episode is fascinating.

A lot of you know about an unfortunate situation that came to light this week involving the Arlington music scene. When I first found out I was surprised, and then I was angry. This situation affected both acquaintances and people I'm very close to. I wasn't exactly sure how to respond to all this, so I reached out to Court Hoang to help situate my thoughts. This episode focuses on that specific situation and the issue of sexual violence locally and elsewhere.

I learned a lot this episode about victimhood, believing accusers, accountability, and how to deal with predators among us. I hope this episode can help us cope and come together as a community to make sure this situation never happens again.

 

The following is the mission statement of The River's Mouth Project. Visit courthoang.com/riversmouth for more information: "The Rivers Mouth Project (RMP) is dedicated to increasing awareness of the realities of sexual violence in our communities; examining the interconnected issues of education, socioeconomics, work culture and rape culture; and dispelling common myths about sexual violence that persist in our way of thinking.” Visit courthoang.com/riversmouth for more information.
