JV rocks. Talked to him for my radio show last week and it was such a pleasure he’s an amazing guy.

This podcast has truly been food for my soul. It's perfect. Thank you.

sir peepus

jumping in to say thanks to all of you for doing this series. JV talking about the gal renting to him who knew his deceased mother and just talking to him about her and sort of holding him got me right in the gut. this is a beautiful series and my sincere thanks for making it

With great trepidation…about to hit ‘play’ in the spirit of “The Aquatic Life w/Steve Zissou” helicopter pre crash scene ‘dis is (prolly) gonna hurt!’ Oof. got family out the middle/ spent summers in MN & MT, but the commerce & medicine is here / too few people left there been there too many generations kinda thing in N. MN & MT… …but it’s consolidated/international finance capital luxury loft plutocrat playground here too? But at least there’s more than one boss/game/fellow artist/artisan around!?! (Maybe) for as long as it’s viable natural disaster/water/air etc supply in the denser cities or socially viable with industry / not a robocop hell scape full of petty crime/no opportunity… Not just one regional baron & 6 generations deep small town steaming piles of resentment that will never let ya forget any transgression w/growing flinty fangs in weather that’ll kill you/have a heart attack shoveling the driveway (I love it/wouldn’t have it any other way!). Idk what to think of the sources but the story’s resonant, in ways both painful & pleasant, unsure on nuance & incisively informative…

Sorry I’m not trying (intentionally) to smother the conversation here youse guise in doomer or idle lazy commentary & am trying to engage w/it & find a voice or way thru. Many of my close friends thru the years were Genx or ~5-10 years older like JV. Idk why the chips fell that way, didn’t like my contemporaries & people born in the late 30s/late 70s were some of the lowest birth years in the USA & maybe there’s a sorta eugenics/‘this is maybe the max # of white Americans we should be allotted thru hardship until we figure some shit out!’ sorta thought & having to be amongst the rats & compete with my largest generation slightly younger than me millennials has little appeal? That said, when it comes to misogyny & coming of age right before the last bubbles burst in 2007 & being miserable/almost immediately dropping out of college or in the 1990s there’s this constant tension of benefiting from the status quo but also somehow not really liking it? I sort of need to collect peoples stories & am curious about them, but have absorbed a lot of toxic shit & need to find a concise succinct voice, create a space for others to create & help me reconcile some of the things I’ve seen & done in my travels as I wonder if I can continue to live in this society, forgive myself & others who remind me of my past self (especially smaller stuff/music I maybe had participation in that involves misogyny to man-childishness transitioning into half-broken bitter reactionaries maybe beyond saving as I look at my contemporaries turn into greedy family men or be man children or misogynists) & I don’t like so well now in hindsight, & ‘the scariest monsters are the ones that turn you into one of them’ within the capitalist/neo-feudal vampire algorithm/transmogrifier? I need some help reconciling that, charting a path forward w/o taking up all the air time & adding value for others…

What are the compassionate questions & parsing the historical fact from the lore & emotion in a way that’s fun, interesting, nuanced & allows others to make something better some of us failed at, took for granted & participated in in ways we regret w/o making the same mistakes more than once or twice (hopefully) w/o cultishness or creepy grooming in very challenging times when we (probably) can’t really have a large scale war in the nuclear age or ‘build our way out of it’ environmentally or conquer more frontier? I almost wonder if it’s a bit like unintentionally clinging to pieces of the wreckage of what used to be a ship having been unexpectedly thrown in the drink near a rocky shore instead of stepping off onto something else viable (rock or another craft) or calling to/for others wondering if there are other bits floating in the water worth the effort to salvage/what’s worth prioritizing? So do you just cling/swim seeing shore or do you try to dive back in again with the time/energy you have to save the lamp/stove/some food & supplies & others to make something out of whatever can be salvaged, maybe?

As to equipment & spaces; They literally don’t build houses to ship-weight standards for carpentry out of old growth real lumber, lime stone no mold plaster with full tight clean leak proof re-configurable basements w/quality vault sidewalk pavement vault lights & light wells for good light but parascope privacy built into a hill well sited on the land but close together w/sound/fire proof walls between houses close to each other &/ or silent in-floor radiant heat sources anymore. Low rise construction quiet low speed limit streets with generously wide green strip, street trees & van parking (easement alley w/garage on the back?) w/mild SF climate/covered carport to unload your van/equip…good luck w/that! Rich a-holes live in the neighborhoods with houses/buildings suitable for recording & don’t want noise ya or trashy carports & ratty vans showing up or it’s street of screams/shoddy shacks & crime/your stuff will get vandalized or jacked/ripped off by the Jack-rollers or suburban shit-hell dead end cul-de-sac conformity, & condo luxury loft conformity. Old Equip that has a hard drive for digital computer compatibility that they gradually revised & improved up to ~y2k & old radio station wall mount mixers & devices you could plug in to different devices that weren’t proprietary for a bargain or play with/repair at the surplus / 2nd hand store is old & beat, best versions are very sought after & all digitial involves a bunch of proprietary circuit boards, tech support & touch screens that are inhuman many times & rely on an over-stimulated occipital love in the brain taking up brain power from touch & sound or requiring the latest computer microprocessing power (which of course has proprietary software & hardware & is cheap disposable chinesium sold off what was once a reputable name brand such as brand name means anything anymore). I’d rather have the old stuff they made a 10-20 year run of & gradually improved / revised you can improvise/buy piece at a time/accessorize &/or fix yourself than be held hostage to administrators / intellectual property & proprietary accessories that cost bank & give the artist the original & mixed down material to do what they will with close to live time that they can arrange or re-arrange. The goal here is less expert & edit time consumed more expertly/informed & less intellectual property & middle man markup, not more, but w/more access to shared experience & knowledge w/social mobility & no one boss having more than 50% control of your time/working conditions on this earth… Are you a maker, a fixer or? Remember: the ‘cloud’ is just a computer/storage device you don’t own!

Thought I would hate this. Usually when writers talk about writers I don't like it. But this and the past couple weeks of podcast that have come out and not just this series, which was good, you guys been crushing it. Worth all the pennies of the five dollars a month. I love it

2023-01-22 22:07:13 Seriously, as an aging punk, never an indie rocker- I feel deep need to express how much I appreciate this series . SF has been my home from the stroke of y2k til just last year. I lived very near here. My longtime mechanics (shout out Ernie & Jack at Skil Center, woot!) were also in that compound. It’s an extra special place I will always hold in my heart. This transports me to a better time. Thanks YC & JV etc.
