About

I recorded this episode on May 23rd, 2020. George Floyd was brutally executed by a team of Minneapolis police officers on May 25th, 2020. In the weeks between then and now?  The world has changed. I would be utterly remiss if I did not process, with you, the events around us, so we begin with an extended introduction, asserting that white supremacy in all forms...including the school-to-prison pipeline, the carceral state, the entirety of "law and order" as it currently functions, the military and prison industrial complexes, and a myriad other structures and systems...must be defunded and abolished. I refuse to be remiss. Having said that, we spend time with one of the most mind-blowing drummers I've ever heard/seen, Ian Chang.  I'm absolutely certain you'll agree.  Drummer as creator, composer, band-leader, one-man-orchestra, and mad scientist.  Ian Chang is all of those things and more. Please hang.  And please take care of yourself, your family, and your community...however you define and understand "community," and PLEASE, do it in that order.  Universe knows I'm no good at taking care of myself, but I'm learning. Love yinz.
