First ep of 2020! The humble & insightful Nick Johnston (@nickjohnston) of The Pressure Kids (@thepressurekids) is my first guest of the new year. We talk about how striving for that middle ground between cryptic and on the nose is the sweet spot of music, how we love lyrics that can mean different things to different people (or even to different versions of yourself), we fan girl over Corey Kilgannon’s (@corey_kilgannon) song “The Hollow,” what’s next for The Pressure Kids, and how side hugs get a bad rep.Plugs~Nick: Joelton Mayfield (@joeltonmayfield)'s EP I Hope You Make ItMon: The Morning Show (@themorningshow) & Cheer (Netflix)recorded: 1/31/20

So this was exciting. I’ve been a fan of Houston Kendrick’s (@houstonis_) for over a year and this is my first guest that I met in person for the first time minutes before recording. We talk about our southern roots, how we love the “figurative knitting-ness” of adult life, the most important songs to him on his debut mixtape PINK, how a lot of being a young adult is about unlearning the past, his new single “Birdbox” which is out THIS FRIDAY and more! It’s just a delightful ep. His song “PErSOnA” opens the ep (I included quite a bit cause it’s just so good) and his song “LiNES” closes.Plugs~Houston: Rhythm & Flow (@rhythmandflownetflix)Mon: Hustlers (@hustlersmovie) & Sophie Bush's (@sophiabush) podcast Work In Progress (@workinprogress)Recorded: 10/29/19

We got Trella!!! I don’t know why I’m always tempted to say “we” here? It’s just me? Anywho, Lindsey Sweat (artist name Trella @trellatunes) is on the show today talkin the origins of pumpkin day, her experience as a PK (pastor’s kid), how the faith community and music were always intertwined, how she bullied Corey Kilgannon (@corey_kilgannon) in high school, her journey from a worship writer to a pop artist, and more. Her 2016 single “Retreat” opens the ep and her newest song “Takin’ It Back” closes! Enjoy!!

Titling this episode “simple messy thoughts with Jordan.” I think I maybe got to one of my questions for Jordan (@jordanshamilton), and I think that’s what makes this ep so great. We always have meaningful, psychological/existential convos and this time was no different. First self-proclaimed enneagram 4 on Monologue! We start off talking toxic masculinity (which I refer to as “grabbing skirts” ...), the origins of Monologue, how watching TV makes us understand life better, the prayer process, how painfully nostalgic we are, identity in the post-post college phase, and more. Listen to the end to hear our fascinating convo on parfaits and massaged kale salads. I really love my friendship with Jordan and his ability to allow others to feel what they may not want to admit they’re feeling. Here’s to hoping he’ll join the universal conversation of music soon✌️ Jordan's EP: https://open.spotify.com/album/4ZCBrWSQ7PmHwv03Uotcq8?si=8nNjRgsJTjK0ecQfTVy5Tg Plugs~ Jordan: Community (TV), Moonchild (@thisismoonchild), parfaits, scoop bibs Mon: In Grey (EP), Unbelievable (Netflix miniseries), MUNA, Saves the World (@whereismuna), Fink (@finkmusic)recorded: 10/2/19

I think Calah (@calahmikal) read my mind before we had this conversation. She spoke about so many things I had been feeling/thinking about like::::feeling it’s too late to learn a new skill (spoiler alert: it’s SO NOT), the tendency to always be writing about identity, our Troy Boltoness in high school, actively downplaying our potential and value, this idea that if you’re not #struggling for your music you’re not really doing it, and the overall all-consuming nature of music and songwriting. Calah Mikal Caballero is a songwriter, artist, and a school counselor, and just has such a strong sense of self and a beautiful perspective on music, identity, Nashville, and more. Check out “An Ocean” and “Details” on Spotify (which we talk about on the ep) and I’m v intrigued and excited for her new single “Jimmy Fallon” (cc: @jimmyfallon). Longest interview to date and I think every second’s worth it!!

We talk faith, family, caring for others, especially w special needs, & how creativity is about returning to the original. Enjoy.
