“I want you to know…”

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! First, I want to thank Puckett Electric for putting this show in motion. He has a show called Soup In The Dark (from 7pm to 8pm) on Sundays. He did a little show celebrating my pseudo obscure work with BSteele, and it compelled us (my former bandmates to talk) What is that formative relationshi...

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! A lot of talk lately has been devoted to the feature film I’ve been working on. As you know, it has turned my life upside down, and you folks have been my only friends. But what you may have forgotten is that I’ve also been helping a friend with a documentary. It serves as proof of life, of a l...

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! My next guest is a gifted performer, I say “gifted” because it looks all natural, like she’s potentially channeling something from somewhere else. Scratch that. It’s clearly coming from deep within herself. I Want You To Know Bestial Mouths

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Gabriel Ramos (writer, artist, musician) of Ssleeping Desiress is back. We let you in on our ongoing dialog about movies, art, whatever. The latest one we have going is Halloween flavored; we ponder what makes a Horror movie a Horror movie, why are some ‘Feel Bad’ movies scarier than horror mov...

My next guest is a woman of the arts. A singer, songwriter, producer, dancer, poet—who uses her art, and community to lift people and call to action our need for humanity, and equality. Her passion for her community is commendable, and definable. She’s come through with some artist’s she loves, and we even get a sneak peak to her last tune (it’s not complete, but she entrusted us) I Want You To Kn...

I think muse has become a dirty word, there’s something objectifying about it. I can say inspiration , but that word isn’t quite accurate. My next guest feels and thinks artistically. When I met her she was a model/actor. But, I could feel she was searching for more. She’s a film photographer, my silently savvy friend, I Want You To Know Dyani Dominguez

This week on I Want You To Know I talk to writer, specifically, tv writer, Anthony Florez. He’s written for Power Book 4, Dark Winds, and Marshalls. Anthony brought some blues rock, and other rockers. I interview him about his work as a writer, and how he brings his unique life experience into his writing. From his time in the military, to being a native person—we unpack how he informs his work wi...

Truly Fantastic stuff. My next guests recently created an album of ambitious, elaborate, dramatic, and at times earnest and pitch perfect pop—album. You can hear influences from pure musical and cinema influenced pieces, when I first heard these songs I wondered how they did it. I think after you hear these songs—you’ll wonder too. I Want You To Know Theophobia

This is a tricky one. At first, I was going to work in the motif of our connection, and write and perform a poem in this space. No. Then I thought I would honor our relationship motif — delivering something subliminally funny, deeply submerged in inside references and secret handshakes. Maybe not. My next guest made me particularly anxious (and want to rise to the occasion) when she made a point t...

We all have songs and albums that mean something to us. Records that serve as a soundtrack to a time, songs that propel you back to a moment, and most importantly— a feeling. As an artist; it’s a special feat. A privilege, and a promise that you’ll be engraved in a memory. It’s especially profound when yourself, or a peer, pulls off this performance. My next guest—did this. She created a record th...

My next guest made some waves the last time she was on, You also heaped her with praise. Since she was on last—she wrote a provocative and vital article called Pimp and Hoe Culture and the Art of Accessorizing Your Escape Recently, she was corresponding with me while in Vegas, chasing down the ingredients for alchemy, and keeping me up to date at the Keefe D trial. Lets hear all about it, I Want Y...

Replay of my talk with my friend Katy.

My next is a comedian. He is constantly refining his voice, while also teaching others to hone their own. He’s less interested in the destination, and more interested in the trip. I thought it would be interesting to take a look at what comedy is like on the clue collar real life circuit, A place outside of vertical videos, and online bits. He’s down on the frontlines…. I Want You To Know Sergio S...

An authentic and real writer lives an isolated lifestyle, not due to exile or self exile. A writer can even be isolated in a crowd, watching the wave of people crash into one another. Writer’s find themselves in precarious situations, dangerous scenarios. A writer must be fearless, engaging and initiating inciting incidents, or sculpting seemingly meaningiless moments into drama, insight, dreams,...

Summer updates, summer talk, a summer mixtape.

My next guest is a true artist, operating from his heart. In between his design work, acting in films, his in depth podcast Frisco: The Secret History , and his stunning iPhone photography-- he manages to create heartfelt, witty, naughty, and earnest songs. I Want You to Know Knox Bronson

I’m thinking on Monday’s I’m going to play a remix rerun archive episode, and then continue the new episodes on Tuesdays (with a replay on Saturday). Folks really loved when I was gone (hmm) you guys wrote nice notes about archival episodes that weren’t available on the usual streaming platforms. That being said we are going to revisit an episode I did with Puckett Electric last year, it was a gre...

My next guest is a musician, actor, teacher, and a thoughtful and electric personality. He’s also a faithful, and generous collaborator. Every interaction leaves you a little enlightened, a little entertained, and completely encouraged. He always has some sort of artistic endeavor brewing, and it’s always interesting—it could be an unconventional approach to covers (for a cover record), a play, or...

My next guest bridges the gaps between pop culture, and subversive thought, beauty with transgressive art, and recalibrating feminism, and reformatting your perspective—all done with something that is part audio essay, part performance art, and even education. I Want You To Know Madeline Auble and her show Window Dressing

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 com...

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...

Chelsea Gods , and Nero rally the troops, and talk 4th Of July for this KPCR special episode. https://kpcr.org/join

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 W...
