The Earth Hotel

On this most jubilant return to form, I welcome the apple of my eye herself to the show to speak to us about her time at the Vienna Academy of Visionary Art and how the transcendent can be captured on canvas. The future holds much art discussion and outward spiraling from this place.

All avoidances will be attended to and repaid unto the souls of those responsible. Namely, mine. Welcome back to part two of our much-maligned Season Three.
I was joined righteously in conversation by Joel Nobody, or the man who calls himself such, as I skulked away to a beach setting of tourist entropy.
Joel maintains the churning machine that is Fork and Spoon Recordings of Panama City, Florida, at the heart of the southeast's experimental scene. Shortly after we were joined at Efficiency Fest on May 5 whilst welcoming improvisers from throughout the state, Joel and I broke the thing down. We have much in common and I look forward to hearing more of the sound from his world on the show as we go forward.

The heat death swinging is all over and we return! There might be flies on you but there ain't no files that ain't backed up now so we can continue on the road of vantage seeking. My guest this week is a friend and former professor from my days in Montevallo, Alesha Dawson, who has gathered her own forces of words to bring forth the Screen Door Review, a quarterly compendium of Southern queer voices. We speak about medieval literature, the collegiate system, functions of learning, and how words have speakable power. 

Screen Door Review's first issue is online now!

My friends from Montgomery, the two instrument-ers that make up the Heavy Children drove up to speak on the stage and display their fares across the frets and flams. We were joined by KWB, my old friend from Montevallo-way who added his stunning clarity guitar to the occasion. As a group, we yelled at each other in a productive, literary fashion, showed our disdain for the subject of my own design, and crafted a handy bit of promotional material along the way. A truly reckless and wacky experiment in live event-ing. 

You can hear the Heavy Children here:

More to come from KWB in the future!

“My Self and the man called Dan sat down in his lovely homestead to discuss the music thing we do and our hopes and prayers for liberty loving people everywhere. It's a great discussion featuring music selections from Dan and an old archive version of myself.”

[RIP Dan Sartain, walking amongst 10,000 worlds in the night elsewhere for a while as we each will, and are. I am selfishly privileged to have stumbled through this conversation, and for other such a candid set of interactions with Dan in good times, who later during the bad came to tell me we occupied the same fateful apartment years apart. He is missed and remembered. 1981-2021]
