Can we get a witness??? Testify! This week our rock n’ roll grave robbers witness the rise of sumthin’ funky! This time our journey through funky town takes sharp left and right turns as we get funk rock from bands that may not necessarily be associated with funk. Sometimes bands just get the urge to write songs that makes your body move and your booty groove. That’s why we are asking the question, “Wah Da Funk???”

What is it that we do here at InObscuria? We exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. In this episode we take a listen to all 3, as we move n’ groove our way through funk-infused rock n’ roll from bands that don’t typically play in the sphere of funkitude. 

Songs this week include:

1. Jason Becker – “We Are One” from Triumphant Hearts (2018)
2. I Mother Earth – “Like A Girl” from Scenery And Fish (1996)
3. Steve Marriott  – “Late Night Lady” from MARRIOTT (1976)
4. The Organization – “Brainstorm” from The Organization (1993)
5. The BusBoys – “D Day” from Minimum Wage Rock & Roll (1980)
6. Petra – “Holy Ghost Power” from Come And Join Us (1977)
7. fIREHOSE – “It Matters” from Ragin’, Full-On (1986)
8. LoveWar – “Keep Your Hands Off My Stuff” from Soak Your Brain (1993)

The band 311 was formed in 1988 and is still grooving thanks in part to its bassist Aaron “P-Nut” Wills who is always finding ways to be inspired and find joy in applying his craft to the band and many other collaborations. Host Josh Paul gets to hear how he got his start and love of the instrument, band life, and as always ample gear talk.

Kris again visit with filmmaker Chelsea Christer to find out how one gets their music documentary into film festivals, theaters and the hearts of music fans everywhere. 

The Matches should have been as huge as 311, Blink182 and Bad Religion - all bands they were associated with. Only in their case, as they were coming up in music, something ugly was going down...

It was the early aughts - a time when the RIAA and Napster dominated music instead of actual music. 

On this track of Text, Prose & RockNRoll, Kris chats with filmmaker Chelsea Christer & Matches bassist Justin SanSouci about their documentary Bleeding Audio, as it illustrates what was happening to up and coming artists at this dark time in music and the detrimental affect it had on them. 

Bleeding Audio is an award winning documentary, and will be continue screening at film festivals all over the world, including the Melbourne Documentary, Julien Dubuque,  Indy & NorthWest Film Festivals in the coming months... be sure to check out their website for all the latest info.

On March 11, 2011, at 2:46 p.m., the largest earthquake ever recorded in Japan struck, soon triggering deadly tsunami and meltdown of a nuclear power plant in Fukushima. The event led to around $360 billion in damage, and even worse, the tragic loss of 15,899 lives.

In this episode, the Krewe mark the 10 year anniversary since the devastating events which have come to be known as 3/11. Doug and Jenn sit down with the filmmakers of the 2014 film "Tohoku Tomo", a documentary which tells the story of true friendship and commitment to Japan’s recovery by the international community following the events of 3/11.

In the wake of devastating flooding, author, speaker, and expert in both Disaster Relief/Recovery and Corporate Social Responsibility, Angela Ortiz joins the boys to talk about the real sustainability question "Would we like to be alive in 20 yrs?" and Japan's go-to response "We'll get back to you on that."

Ollie recommends a cruise for Christian cosplayers, and Bobby explores the natural, sometimes sudden processes that turn riverboats into driftwood.

Topics discussed on this episode range from:

• Ulterior Motives for booking guests

• What Corporate Social Responsibility means when set aside Ollie's definition of capitalism
• How social media and greater transparency has changed the landscape of social responsibility
• How cultural values affect how a society defines their business values and how they choose to wrap peaches
• The difference between purpose driven companies and "PR CSR" 
• (This isn't in the episode but if we ran a very-high audio quality, yet quiet, virtue signaling advertisement for sustainability Covid tests, it would be JBRC PCR PR CRS ASMR. 
• What is "sustainability" on its most basic level, and why human extinction is generally bad for business 
• The social impact of this very podcast
• Podcast recommendations for ppl with tuberculosis 
• The scale of the Kyushu Floods this year (2020)
• The choice between fear of Corona and fear of flooding
• How you approach people who may feel that they're at the mercy of nature
• Japan's history of Climate Action and their struggles with reducing emissions 
• How Japan's experience with national disasters is changing due to the climate crisis
• How those shifts have affected disaster response
• How and what Japan has learned from successive disaster response efforts
• The problems caused by lack of centralized response to disasters
• The roles of NGOs like Angela’s
• Hazard maps, and how they're basically just a reference for how seriously you should take evacuation warnings 
• Resignation to death as a factor in failure to evacuate 
• Corona-virus prevention at evacuation centers
• Why the very useful cardboard box housing is a great development for evacuation housing but might not be the best innovation to hold up as a pillar of human accomplishment 
• Comparing Disaster responses and aftermaths across countries and cultures
• How the initial response affect recovery in the long term
• Angela's book "Place to Grow: 8 principles that will make you an effective leader in social impact. 

The extras are FULL of Angela's amazing insights into disaster recovery efforts which she has been involved in on every level, and her thoughts on her industry and where she thinks it needs to go to literally save the planet. AND it has more of the funny bits than the main episode this week because of the subject nature of the latter. Long story short, this would be a GREAT week to subscribe for the extras.

Topics covered in the Extras include:

• A legal disclaimer for our rights to the extraneous recorded bits
• The progress made in the recovery of post 3-11 Tohoku 
• The philosophical problems faced when considering rebuilding an area affected by natural disasters
• What towns like Minamisanriku have actually done in their rebuilding efforts
• The cultural links people in disaster areas have to their family land
• Why we shouldn't make assumptions about Ollie's face
• The efforts to and problems with relocating disaster refugee communities and how those problems relate to the Japanese culture around home life
• The reality of life in an ostensibly temporary refugee community
• The creation of Angela's company Place to Grow and her goals with it

• Whether or not being British is something that requires apology
