This week on I Want You To Know, I take a look at last week, and my nearly complete meltdown mentally and physically, and how this station, here, saved my life…again.

Right in time for pledge month,

We need your donations at KPCR.ORG/JOIN

We neeed ten k for repairs, transmitters, licensing, and just to keep the ship afloat.

I’m going to tell you all about that, and my week from hell, and we have another review by Rachel Walther.

We also spotlight the special kinds of acts and art we amplify here at KPCR.ORG. I talk to the band Beta Voids about juggling multiple bands, and having one foot in the old way of having a band, and one foot in the new way of conducting a band, and we listen to songs from their new EP. It cooks.

This week on I Want You To Know—one of my best friends in the world is getting married, and it got me thinking about music and it’s association with weddings.,

Today, I provide a mixtape about weddings, marriage, husbands, wives, divorce. Songs that put those awful songs— associated with marriage and weddings to shame. You will not hear bland and overcooked songs that are as bland and overcooked as (yet free) a wedding meal—

I Want You To Know-- songs about matrimony

My next guest and I met when I was working at a comedy establishment we both occupied in different capacities. She performed some wonderful pieces within a bigger show. It was great. What wasn’t great was one of those pieces were not captured on video (in my defense I was only indirectly involved in uploading the shows I captured for the theatre). I was pretty bummed because I knew she gave her all, and she offered something special. But, alas, it was gone. BUT, I BECAME A FAN

I offered her a small (but consequential) part in my film, and she was great. (That was her and Matt McCombs, at the top of the show, in that clip from our film Hera’s Devotion)

Recently, my next guest performed a one-woman show. A show filled with bizarre, ordinary, lost, misguided, spiritually thirsty characters—all looking for little purposes and big directions, and vice versa. And, again, all performed by my next guest. I thought it was sharp, funny, I had a great time..and I wanted to know what it takes to put together a big undertaking like this.
