S3 E4: John Dwyer

I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee

07/19/21 • 53 min

I was literally dancing round the room when John Dwyer agreed to be on the show.
John is a tireless, persistently forward-thinking warrior whose influence is impossible to quantify. The band that he founded and leads - Osees (Thee Oh Sees) - is one whose influence is equally impossible to quantify.
He defines experimentation.
...Hurtling, bruising, brooding, hypnotic, phalanx of double drummers, muscular, veins of gold through granite, shifting ground, heavy, lush, stately, groovy, roar, whisper, fuzz fried...

And my favourite....

... Cauldron of chaos

These are John and Matt's notes of the Osees' albums Orc and Mutilator....pretty accurate huh?
Thank you John, this was a blast!

S11 E5: Hannah Joy

I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee

02/15/24 • 59 min

As a habitual loafer, I spend a fair bit of time thinking about how some songwriters can create music that can feel familiar yet unfamiliar and why I’m attracted to music that gives me both of those feelings. I also love finding music that feels very unfamiliar to me and I’m interested in why.
As you might expect I’ve failed to come up with anything concrete, but I did read something which made me think: basically when you are younger, you tend to use music as an identity marker and engage with it to navigate social circles, find your tribe, stuff like that. And the theory goes that as you get older, your personality and social circles become more developed and comfortable, so you tend to listen to music that’s more familiar. I’ve definitely experienced change in identity and social circles over the last, I dunno, 15 years probably, so if that theory holds true, it would explain why I’m listening to much more diverse stuff nowadays - Ugly Kid Joe over Ramones? Ok, let’s not go too far!

Another view, from neuroscientist Daniel Levitin, goes like this:

“when we love a piece of music, it reminds us of other music we have heard, and it activates memory traces of emotional times in our lives.”

Today - 16th February 2024 - sees the release of Middle Kids’ third full LP called Faith Crisis Part I and it’s another beautiful evolution, showing another different side to the band, yet it’s still got that familiarity of journey, evocative melodies, empathy and classic bangers too.
This is a beautifully open and honest conversation with Hannah Joy about adaptability, reflections on quitting drinking, saying “yes” to things, finding the muse, work ethic mindset, formative influences that shape us, on stage versus off stage personas, her relationship with piano and guitar, consensus in songwriting, curiosity.......

S3 E6: Svetlanas

I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee

08/02/21 • 52 min

Svetlanas are one of the most dynamic and hard working bands around. Their music takes me back to the glory days of 1980’s hardcore and skatecore - one of my favourite eras. A live Svetlanas show is unforgettable: it's like being in an incendiary cyclone of buzzing, distorted guitars, pummelling drums and bass and, of course, the electrifying stage presence of Olga. All of this, plus never compromising on their core values and belief systems means Svetlanas have built a community of followers that is like a family.
As Olga quite correctly reminded me, they are "the most dangerous band in the world".

It was a huge honour to welcome Olga, Diste and Steve of Svetlanas!

S9 E1: Louise Distras

I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee

02/03/23 • 61 min

Louise Distras has always made her music with a progressive mindset. New visions, new influences, new collaborations and new ways of doing things. I think she’s challenged the way that we behave when we're on our own and when we're part of groups and also the way movements have a tendency to institutionalise themselves the longer they exist and create unspoken rules for how we live our life, how we make music, what we sing about and how we sing it. It's interesting to explore why self-interest always seems to rise to the top. In many ways, Louise makes me think of Chumbawamba. Not the accent 😇 - what they stood for.
Check out her new singles, Black Skies and Girl in the Mirror, and the new album Beauty After Bruises.
This was a lot of fun and full of stuff that really makes you stop and think...
Welcome back Louise.

S10 E2: Tony Njoku

I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee

06/30/23 • 58 min

Tony Njoku is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, musician, producer and visual artist whose music is impossible to categorise. It has so many influences that its identity is unique – just like it should be.
He's assembling his art in ways that tell a story that helps him and helps others by bringing us together over shared experiences. Asking those big questions about our own identity and evolution, exploring what matters in life, gets me really interested in the personal intent and commitment that this involves whether through necessity or choice and in the courage, resilience and emotional intelligence.
The visual work that he produces to accompany his music is as beautiful and captivating as the music itself - the sonics and the visuals get your attention and make you think about what’s inspiring this. You can't help but apply that to yourself. Check out Rhododendron, a song about metamorphosis, healing and new beginnings. The stripped down piano and vocals version is just beautiful.

S12 E2: Diana Burkot

I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee

05/03/24 • 67 min

My first experience of censorship in music came with the battle between the Dead Kennedys and Tipper Gore’s PMRC (remember the “Parental Advisory Explicit Content” stickers?) which culminated in the obscenity trial in 1985/6 over the artwork for DK’s record Frankenchrist. I don’t know if anyone remembers but the board members of the PMRC were a bunch of white power brokers funded by Coors Beer, who also just happened to be big supporters of..... Ronald Reagan.

The elite keeping the lid on challengers to their power. Some things never change do they?

Anyway, forward 25/6 years or so to Moscow and 4 of the founding members of the art collective Pussy Riot perform their inspired Punk Prayer inside the Cathedral of Christ The Saviour.

It’s still one of the best and most effective pieces of protest performance art that I’ve seen, although at great personal cost as 3 out of the 4 performers were arrested and convicted.

Separation of church and state, censorship, state violence, state control, repression of equality, denial of intersectionality....and still the elite, the despots and the sycophants fear art and artists more than anyone since feudalism, capitalism and all that good stuff began.

Diana Burkot is a founding member of Pussy Riot, a multi disciplinary musician and a committed activist. Her music project away from Pussy Riot is called Rosemary Loves A Blackberry and it is a glorious kaleidoscope of performance art that brings together diverse instruments, beats, imagery and lyrics that open your mind to eclectic and experimental interpretations and is at home with any industrial die hards, synth lovers or lovers of the darker, magical sounds from the other side.....

It's a huge honour to have her on the show.

S11 E8: SkyDxddy

I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee

03/15/24 • 58 min

As regular listeners will be painfully aware, I’m no fan of genres. I can hear the groans already....here he goes again getting on his soapbox...yes, well, you know you gotta reinforce the message, right! I do believe that genres are obsolete to the point of being dangerous, created by an industry to keep people in their lanes, to reinforce “rules” and stereotypes of who should be playing what music - and to make it easier and cheaper to market. The good thing is that there are far more musicians who are blurring those old genre lines, bringing in diverse influences and techniques to create new sonics that makes it difficult to put music in those restrictive boxes.

Ok, soapbox over!
SkyDxddy has just released their latest single called Why Do I Stay? And it’s quite different sonically to their previous work. What’s not different though, is the importance and value of the message - that every experience and every impact is at once unique and relatable to many of us and that each story deserves to be told and heard – I believe that’s what humanity should be about.

Now having got on my soapbox about genre, I’m gonna get kicked off it, cos Sky has created a new genre - trauma core – although to be fair, trauma core to me is not about the musical style, it’s about survivors being empowered to tell your own story in your own way surrounded in your own blanket of safety and to feel the power of that human connection to not just survive but to create a movement of solidarity with others who are marginalised, misunderstood and suffering. And it’s encumbent on us to listen to those voices with empathy, love and understanding.

S2 E10: Audrey Campbell

I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee

06/21/21 • 62 min

Right! What a way to finish off Season 2, fizzing and crackling with energy and humanity.
Audrey Campbell and her band, Pleasure Venom, are making some of the most dynamic, immersive, progressive and genre-busting music around. The music is honest, raw, beautiful and it’s about immersing their listeners into their experiences.
I've got massive respect and love for Audrey. Listening to her talking about her mindset, self belief, DIY, being in control of what you choose to do, humanity, fans and her evolution is an education and totally fascinating. I hope you get as much out of this as I did.

S2 E9: Jesus Hooligan

I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee

06/14/21 • 60 min

With the mighty Jesus Hooligan, you can expect a lot of noisy creativity, collaboration, participation and human emotion. And unsatisfying Facebook breakfasts.

Stephen Brunton started making his own music using sounds that he liked from materials that he worked with – barrels, angle grinders, chains, metal tubes, tanks.

The tribal, primal rhythmic sound from hitting these things gives everyone who is participating – either actively or passively - a feeling of connection with others.
It was a total blast talking to Stephen. Open your mind and open your body to a different way of creating music and feel the power of human connection.

S14 E3: Jennifer Clavin

I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee

10/18/24 • 66 min

I’m really into this notion of music being your friend for life and how certain songs represent a particular point in your life, good or bad. There’s one song that sticks in my mind which represents such a dark time in my life. And now, looking back at it, I can see how much I’ve changed and sometimes it’s hard to play that song. I’ve played and sang other composer’s songs in front of people - let’s just say that it was a few years ago – and I know that if I sang them now, it would be like getting into a time transporter, but the part I’m missing is writing those songs and how I’d feel if I’d written them and gone through the massive personal evolution and identity shifts of the last few years?

The other thing I’ve found about shifting identity is presenting your new self, presenting things you’ve not done before, stuff you’ve not talked about before. It’s interesting how some people will be used to the “old” version of you and how they react to the “new” version of you – or perhaps that should read the “real” version of you. And whether the people, whose reaction to all of these things we fear, do actually give a fuck and how we are perceived is all in our mind. Moreover, why should I care? I went through all of this when I started doing this podcast, started writing, started doing graphic design...ok, so I basically get this whenever I start anything new!

Jennifer Clavin has written and released music over the last 20 years or so, with Mika Miko and Bleached, that is raw, beautifully exhilarating and has that ability to take you to your own time and place – I find this so powerful - and is now steadily releasing a bunch self-recorded, stripped down, incredibly personal, lo-fi songs as “dear francis”, the latest evolution in an emotional musical story.
