Episode 186: The Keening - Who Art Thou?

What this episode covers

Today's guest on the podcast is Rebecca Vernon of The Keening!The Keening is Rebecca's Portland-based solo music project, who led SLC doom metal band SubRosa for 13 years.She released her debut album 'Little Bird' in 2023, which is an album I can't recommend enough and is currently working on her second album, which we will chat about in this episode.The primary focus of this episode though is The Keening's latest single, 'Hell is a Mirror', which was released in June and is a song that goes out to the perpetrators and enablers of the Gaza genocide. A deeply emotional and powerful song, I'll be talking with Rebecca about firstly why she wrote the song, how the song was made and then the Gaza genocide and the responses she's received from using her voice to talk about the injustices going on there.The song is available on Bandcamp and 100% of all proceeds from the sales for this song (minus PayPal fees) will be donated to Gaza Mutual Aid Solidarity (GMAS).I can say it enough how much of an influence Rebecca's music has had on myself, still in disbelief I got to interview her so it was an enormous pleasure to chat to her, especially for a cause like this.Hell is a Mirror on BandcampThe Keening on LinktreeHorrenda + Their Last Stop + Fear Gorta live at Sin ESacred Noose + Grave Sermon + Their Last Stop + Lymphoedema live at Sin E Hosted on Acast.

Explicit Shut Up I Love It Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello Many years ago, Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello met in line for an improv show. They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit
