I Want You To Know - Benedict Coulter
One of my favorite things in the world--is the movie trailer. Now, I say "thing" because I’m unsure if it's a stand alone work of art, or if it’s a commercial. In contemporary culture, it’s quite clear when someone is selling something to you. It’s quite clear if this thing is art or motivated by commerce. But, enter the movie trailer—yes, it’s a commercial to the movie. But, its not so much a commercial or call to action (go see this here), often its tempting it’s audience, seducing its audience. You ever see a trailer and you think “nope” the way a you’d say “nope” to a person in a bar, with a bad pick up line? You watch them come and go. A trailer is a bit like that. When you’re being seduced, or enticed—you don’t know, but you know you want to go. Whether It’s stand alone trailer, with no footage from the movie, or the voice over telling you the story--persuading you to see the thing unfold, or the cryptic tonal piece—leaving you wondering and longing to see if the film can fulfill the trailer's sensual promise. The movie trailer comes in many forms. Fortunately, for me, I have a guest who cut some of the most important movie trailers from the last 40 years. And, we are going to talk about the anatomy, the ideology, and execution of the movie trailer. I Want You To Know - Benedict Coulter
I Want You To Know - Doug Gillard
We consume, repurpose, and produce art in this fast paced phone world. At a certain point we may not even have a phone at our fingertips, or on our wrist. I know, I sound like the old codger longing for a time where pacing and searching for music in record stores, music shops, or even Woolworths==was worthwhile.. Okay, lets take that off the table for a second—we still can have those music and art discovery moments—with conversation. My next guest plays in Guided by Voices, and makes his own intelligent and pleasurable solo records. I Want You To Know Doug Gillard

I Want You To Know - Stephanie Babirak
Oh, the harp the angelic harp. Hardly an instrument that can be used by an artist as some sort of novelty. So, when I saw this album come across my desk—I thought to myself 'how will this person pull it off? It says here that it’s indie rock ? Is this some gimmick?' No. What I heard was a tasteful, atmospheric, intimate, and cinematic record—rooted in good songwriting, and no-gimmick delivery. I Want You To Know Stephanie Babirak

I Want You To Know -Real Prince Stories By Real Fams (with Terri D)
It’s still June, so we are still celebrating Prince. So, of course we have Terri D of Real Prince Stories By Real Fams. Terri curates a show that spotlights Prince Fams and their stories. So, no famous people waxing partial fandom, but Fams about that life—standing in line for hours, after party shows, but mostly about the connection and dare I say; guided by a love and appreciation for Prince.

I Want You To Know - Andrin Uetz (Durian of Karl Kave and Durian)
A couple weeks ago I was with Gabriel Ramos aka Ssleeping Desiress assisting in a performance. We arrived super early (as requested in the call sheet), we roamed around the substantially sized venue Haus Leipzig. And out of now where—soundcheck began. We heard a smart, fun, funky, sophisticated and futuristic (yet vintage) sound pumping out of the speakers. Dancing around upstairs, Gabriel and I looked at one another and said in unison “these guys are good”. Those guys were Karl Kave and Durian, I Want You To Know Andrin Uetz aka Durian of Karl Kave and Durian
I Want You To Know -WGT Fest Leipzig
This is a redone version of Monday's episode. I tagged along with collaborator, and friend Gabriel Ramos (of Ssleeping Desiress”) to help with his live set at WGT Fest in Leipzig. I was there to lend some visuals (in real time), it was a technically and artistically challenging endeavor. Hear about it. Also, I play artists who also played the festival, I talk about my time in Germany, the day of the show, travel nightmares, navigating the scents and (un)pleasantries of Germans, going to the realest goth club ever, meeting new friends, and meeting cool people….

I Want You To Know - Samanthia Wildes
My next guest functions within many artistic tasks. When pressed she often disregards them as just something she loves, or just does. At one point she referred to it as “a hobby” or “The Hobby”. Then I learned just what that meant—the fascinating world of a Doll Artist I Want You to Know Samanthia Wildes.
