62: Allie Triglianos on Tattoos in Higher Ed & Femmes in Hardcore

January 30, 2019 / Craig Bidiman

WELCOME BACK TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST

This week I chat with Allie Triglianos, who is a Residence Director at Rutgers. Allie has been in Residence Life for YEARS - and the experiences she has amassed along the way have given her a great perspective on how to support students from all walks of life. Allie is a VERY visibly tattooed professional, which plays a massive role in her relationships with students on her campus. It can also create interesting interactions with colleagues and administrators - but sometimes those folks surprise us in their levels of acceptance. We explore that in this episode. Allie also came up in the NY/NJ hardcore scene and has gone to great lengths to dedicate herself to the scene - we dig into this life of hers and how aging a bit changes our perspective on getting into the pit. Hope you enjoy this one!

MUSIC NOTE:
- This week you got to hear tunes from the new Community College LP, which is due out in March through Disposable America!
- We played the songs, “Novacaine,” and ‘Karaoke” on the episode this week - they’re both super chill songs and if you like what you heard, visit disposable-america.com to snag yourself a cassette before the release in March.
- And in case you missed last week’s episode on label owners, make sure you listen to that episode ASAP because it features Dustin Watson, who runs Disposable America.

Lauren Kashan &
Queer Femme Representation

WELCOME TO AN EXTRA EPISODE OF THE EDUPUNX PODCAST!

Here is an EXTRA episode of the podcast this week! Katy and Lauren had A LOT to talk about this week and we wanted to make sure that you got to hear this powerful, transformational section of their conversation in its entirety. They dive even deeper into their identities as queer femmes and how those identities manifest in the hardcore scene and in social justice realms in general. There are a few moments of true discovery in these 30 minutes and it's pretty wonderful to hear.

And don't forget! The new Sharptooth album, "Clever Girl," which comes out TODAY on Pure Noise Records. You can snag all sorts of merch bundles, including CD, vinyl, and digital copies of the new album by visiting Sharptooth.Merchnow.com. Make sure to also check out the band's new music video for the politically charged title track, "Clever Girl," on youtube! If you like what you heard from the band, make sure you catch them on tour with Stray from the Path and Anti-Flag this winter - a tour that was very recently announced!

19: Lauren Kashan (Sharptooth) & Femmes in Hardcore

October 24, 2017 / Craig Bidiman

WELCOME TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST!

This week, Katy Hamm returns as the host of the podcast to bring you a special chat with a very badass guest. Lauren Kashan is the lead singer for the melodic hardcore band, Sharptooth. Lauren also holds a Herpetology degree from Towson University in Baltimore, Maryland. She is a self-proclaimed Reptile Lady and works as an Environmental educator, regularly visiting schools, libraries, and other spaces where she teaches folks about reptiles and other fun creatures.

In this episode, Katy and Lauren bond over their shared love of hardcore music, wanting more femme representation in hardcore, and how fighting the patriarchy often starts in the pit. Katy's return to hosting duties is a doozy this week and you are bound to love it! And you get to hear some of the kickass tunes from the new Sharptooth album, Clever Girl, which is out THIS FRIDAY through Pure Noise Records.

And stay tuned later this week for an extended episode of Katy and Lauren's chat - cuz they just had SO MUCH to talk about this week!

EPISODE NOTES:
- Just a heads up - there is A LOT of explicit language on this episode.
- I absolutely love that Sharptooth's name is a reference to Land Before Time - because it's one of my favorite movies from my childhood.
- And the new album, "Clever Girl," is a reference to Jurassic Park - because after all, Lauren loves Velociraptors.
- Lauren suggests checking out the Gone series from Michael Grant.
- Both Katy and Lauren have recently gone through the Dave Eggars book, "The Circle," which was adapted and released as a film this year.
- Another commonality among Katy and Lauren is their love for the album, "Diamond" by Stick to Your Guns.
- Adding more to their shared obsessions, each also have a tattoo for the band Every Time I Die - Katy's being a quote from the song "Ebolarama," and Lauren's being an inner lip tattoo of the title of the band's debut LP, Hot Damn!
- in a not-so surprising turn of events, it is not shocking to learn that the Herpetologist and massive animal/reptile lover/educator, Lauren, owns every single Animorphs book ever released.

MUSIC NOTES:
- This week we got to share tunes from the new Sharptooth album, "Clever Girl," which comes out THIS FRIDAY on Pure Noise Records.
- You can snag all sorts of merch bundles, including CD, vinyl, and digital copies of the new album by visiting Sharptooth.Merchnow.com.
- Make sure to also check out the band's new music video for the politically charged title track, "Clever Girl," on youtube!
- If you like what you heard from the band, make sure you catch them on tour with Stray from the Path and Anti-Flag this winter - a tour that was very recently announced!

13: Greg Nahabedian (Dérive) & DIY Ethics in 2017

September 12, 2017 / Craig Bidiman

edupunx podcast.png.jpg — 13: Greg Nahabedian (Dérive) & DIY Ethics in 2017

WELCOME TO A NEW EPISODE OF THE EDUPUNX PODCAST!

This week is a real fun and lively chat with musician, Greg Nahabedian, of the art-punk/hardcore band, Dérive. Greg is an incredibly interesting human being and a multi-talented musician, who also teaches piano to people of all ages.

Greg and their fiancee, Chelsea, came over to my apartment to record this episode, and we got into a lot of different topics - from Greg's early days breaking into the music industry as a drummer-for-hire, to attending Hampshire College for music composition, and into their life as a DIY punk artist traveling the country on self-booked tours. We also get into a bit of faith, queer issues, as well as why piano and classical music isn't dead! You also get to hear a lot of music from their band's new album, "Instantly Black the Goodness," so get ready for some tunes on this one!

EPISODE NOTES:
- You can check out Greg's undergrad thesis/melologue, by visiting his bandcamp page at gregnahabedian.bandcamp.com. This is truly one of the most unique pieces of music you'll hear.
- There is also a video of them performing the entire thing with an orchestra they put together.
- Greg, Chelsea, and I get into the complexities of identifying as a queer person while functioning and presenting in a hetero relationship, something I have written about in the past!
- Since we're both fans of the band, mewithoutYou, I knew it was only a matter of time before we were discussing Sufism and the part it plays in the band's fourth album, "It’s all Crazy! It's All False! It's All a Dream!," as well as in Greg's life.
- Listen to more classical music like Charles Mingus, George Crumb, Philip Glass, and Meredith Monk
- Greg attended the independent, collaborative high school, the Pinkerton Academy.
- In keeping with the tradition of using unique artworks as inspiration, Greg remembers the widely imaginative “Blood and Guts in High School,” by Kathy Acker, as a book that sticks out most vividly to them.
- Greg urges folks to check out "Atlas: An Opera in Three Parts," by Meredith Monk. Here is a link to the entire thing on Youtube.

MUSIC NOTE:
- This week's music is provided by Greg's band, Dérive, and its new album, "Instantly Black the Goodness," which was released on August 25 through Howling Frequencies Records.
- You can stream and download the album for FREE on the band's bandcamp account at derive.bandcamp.com!
- If physical music is your thing, you can snag a vinyl copy, a CD, or a cassette through Howling Frequencies Records - which is a label started by the drummer of Dérive, Paul DeGrandpre. The label has already released new tunes from Space Camp, Perennial, and the new release is this Friday with Paul's new sludge band, Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean. For more information, definitely check out howlingfrequency.bandcamp.com!

ADVERTISING NOTE:
- I hyped up BoyNirvana.com, which is the freelance art-creation service that Greg's fiancee, Chelsea, offers. If you need any unique merch and/or flyering work done for your band, organization, or office, reach out to Chelsea at BoyNirvana.com!
