    My Friend's Music Episode V: The Stephanie Strikes Back

    en-usJanuary 12, 2019

    About this Episode

    An ode to my favorite Star Wars movie, and quite possibly my favorite episode I have done between Waste of Your Time and My Friend's Music.

    I speak with Stephanie this episode about mental illness, her work in theater, and Disney music with a heavy metal twist (trust me, it's great!).

    I can not begin to thank Stephanie enough about her willingness to talk with me about her struggles with mental illness and her ability to overcome the obstacles that it presents.

    Please reach out to someone if you are going through a hard time right now. Just remember: You are worth it!

    I'm so happy to have Highway as a BFF and am so happy we got to chat today.

    Episode 11 - Mada: Part II
    In this episode, I speak with Mada about kitty litter, winning a Daft Punk album from a radio station, not being "that guy" at a DJ set or tribute band show (with a public apology to Darwin and the rest of Temptation - A Tribute To New Order), DJ Honda, how music saved Mada's life, it's okay to cry, and racial stereotypes.

    Unlike J.J. Abrams, I have a title for my ninth episode.

    This week, I'm joined by Mada. We discuss a whole range of random stuff in this episode. She talks about how fucked up our country is right now, how Portishead saved her life, and her hatred of lettuce in burritos.

    Episode 8 - Sometimes You Have To Laugh At Yourself

    Episode 8 - Sometimes You Have To Laugh At Yourself
    A little mini-episode, highlighted by seeing three great tribute bands last night - Temptation (New Order), Erasure-esque (duh, Erasure), and Truth or Dare (another duh, Madonna). They'll all be performing again at The Ritz in San Jose, CA on 2/1/19. Definitely worth checking out.

    Thought for the day: Try not to be an asshole. We have enough of them in this world already. Thanks!

    Episode 7 - Please Don't Be Afraid to Ask for Help!
    Working on getting a guest for the next episode. In the meantime, I wanted to briefly talk about mental health and addiction.

    If you are struggling, please don't be afraid to reach out for help. There are plenty of people who have gone through what you are going through. It doesn't matter if you've relapsed or are feeling suicidal, there's help. Don't be ashamed to ask.

    Episode 6 - Garrett Collins
    In this episode I speak with classically-trained pianist, Garrett Collins. Garrett talks about his upbringing, living in Paris, his work to help the homeless, and some spiritual aspects that he has implemented in his time.

    And we have to break out some show tunes.
