TPP 28 - D'Santi Nava

It has been a very long time since I put a podcast out. This one was recorded in November. Sometimes life gets in the way of my creative endeavors. Sometimes I get in the way of everything. In this case, it's clear that I have been in the way. For more information go to twistedpop.com.

TPP 27 - IHA We Are Back

This post is about Duke Hunter. And Duke Hunter is a bad ass. Percussionist, musician, teacher, music teacher, athlete, in line skater... His energy is infectious. I have been to Botanga and he is a solid musician. We had a good time interviewing him. He seemed to have a good time talking to us. As the podcast progresses, I hope to get Duke involved in some more discussions. For more information go to: http://www.twistedpop.com/?p=1666&preview=true

TPP 26 - Duke Hunter

So I’m a couple weeks behind in editing, so you get the Thanksgiving episode now. Not really. I mean we don’t really talk about Thanksgiving at all. I just happen to mention it in the beginning of the episode.For more information and show notes, go to: twistedpop.com

TPP 25 - Artifacts and Fear

This is an episode of I Hate Art with Ashley O'Shenanigans. We talk about Zine Fest Houston 2017 and how much there was to see. Then we get into the I Hate Art segment where I tried to get into a discussion about mentors but nobody was into it. They wanted to talk about the late Kenny Cordray and the Houston Urban Legends around his involvement with ZZ Top and David Bowie.

TPP 24 - Zine Fest and Mentors

In episode 23, we talk about the eccentrics. Initially inspired by the Netflix documentary about Joan Didion, we explore what's missing from today's social media landscape. How we, as artists, are encouraged to not be eccentric by continually being marketed the idea that we need to find our market. Maybe we don't need to find our market. http://www.twistedpop.com/podcast/tp-ep-0023/

TPP 23 - IHA Eccentrics

Aaron Trumm (NQuit Music), interviews Joyce Kettering - Musician, Composer, Instrumentalist, Entrepenur. Joyce was working as a contracts compliance auditor at a Fortune 500 company in 2016 when she decided to become a lot more serious about her music. So she started recording. A lot of recording. Now she's doing music full time. For more information and show notes, go to: twistedpop.com

TPP 22 - AT Joyce Kettering

Episode 21 is an I Hate Art segment. It figures that our best episode is followed by our worst episode. There's some stuff to laugh at. Kids screaming in the background. An old light that we tried to add to our production kit just about catches on fire. We never really caught a rhythm on this one, but it's funny sometimes and it's short. One thing that I referred to in the end that is a good takeaway. The Wheelworkers at the Satellite Bar in Houston, TX, October 27, 2017. Last time I saw them at Fitz, they were great. A visual show with public domain movies playing on a screen behind them. Modular synths. Good songs. I bought a CD. For more information and show notes, go to: twistedpop.com

TPP 21 - IHA Meanderings

In Episode 20 of the Twisted Pop Podcast, we interview actor, writer, filmmaker, producer and director Sarita Callender, aka Jade Lesyeux. Jade was Sarita's alias while she was in the Witness Protection Program. We have yet to interview anyone that hasn't surprised us in some way. Even people that we've known for a long time have told us things that we didn't know about them. No one caught us more off guard than Sarita Callender. As the interview opened, I asked Sarita why she had an alias. She responded that she had been in the Witness Protection Program. We had no idea whether she wanted to pursue the details of that story in a podcast with two guys that she had met only minutes previous to the interview, but we left the door open.

TPP 20 - Sarita (Jade) Callender

In this episode, we talk about following someone else's vision versus following your own versus working with a team. It's a dense subject. We could probably spend a whole lot of time defining each of these ideas first. For more information and show notes, go to: twistedpop.com

TPP 19 - Whose Vision

In this episode of the Twisted Pop Podcast, we interview Bryan King. Brian is a writer - graphic novels, comic books, novels. I actually don't think I have a good sense of all that Bryan does, but it's a lot. For more information and show notes, go to: twistedpop.com

TPP 18 - Bryan King

This week's I Hate Art segment of the Twisted Pop Podcast, we talk about the lies we tell ourselves. Maybe everyone does this, but we're talking specifically about what we do as artists. In the 9 to 5, talking my way through my day. I am satisfied because I am doing a good job, but this isn't a profession I chose. It's the profession that made the most money. And frankly, most people end up in a 9 to 5 that chose them, so cry me a river. For more information and show notes, go to: twistedpop.com

TPP 17 - Lies Lies Lies

This week we have Dielle, as in Dielle Music. Dielle is a singer/songwriter based in the UK. She lives near the Isle Of Wight. Dielle is a determined and dedicated professional. She's got content everywhere. For information and show notes, including links to a lot of DiElle content, go to twistedpop.com

TPP 16 - DiElle

In this I Hate Art episode, we talk about - Oh I can't be sure. We talk about Mother. About how artists can misinterpret their own art. About how you can lose control of a project. Especially when other people are involved. It's just us shooting the shit really... Maybe this episode will make more sense later. We kind of lost control of this one. For more information, go to twistedpop.com

TPP 15 - Losing Control

This week we interviewed Mark Thogersen. Maybe that's a pretty strong description of what happened. The word interview suggests that we asked him questions or at least directed the conversation. I don't think we actually asked Mark any more than three or four questions. We just sat down and started rolling and he told us about his journey. For more examples of Mark's art, more information and show notes, go to twistedpop.com

TPP 14 - Mark Thogersen

The Twisted Pop Podcast explores what it means to be a working artist living in the real world.
