Hello and welcome to Raw Impressions, your home of fact-free podcasting. Starring adorable Adele Barlow. This is episode number one. Doesn't even matter what number it is.
The higher the number gets, the lower the press I feel. When I hear the number as far as anyone is concerned, this is the first time we will ever be hearing Adele's voice. I'm leaving now. I will be back at the end.
At the end. We've got to be a little strict on this one. This time. At the end that's it.
Okay. Thank you for listening to the Raw Impressions podcast with Adele Barlow. And me. Give me all your rah impressions.
Thoughts. You words. You time. All about communication.
All the fucking time. Give me all your rah impressions. Oh. You're rah impressions.
Yeah. I'm Lou. Hi. Where's that echo?
I hear that echo. What's that? It's the microphone for my guitar. It's coming through everything.
Is that obnoxious? Oh. I don't know. Hi Lou Barlow.
Co-host. Hi. I'm a little preoccupied. Yeah.
Once again, I head now today to go on a little tour of John. Should we have that echo continue or do you want to? I don't know. Is it the vibe?
I don't think it's the vibe. It feels a little odd. Okay. Press a button.
There we go. There we go. There you are. It's still there.
What? I feel like we're in a really cool theater. Oh. Oh.
Okay. Hello. Ah. Try.
There you are. Try as a damn bone. Ew. Oh my.
Yes. You're heading out this evening for a short Saba Doozy. Saba Doe trio of shows. Saba DoDem.
Sabato SabeytoSLT Arduino SabaD Shamada Yup. formed in 1988. SabaDo started as a duo. Eric Cash me and Lou Barlow.
Lou Barlow came up with the stupid name SabaD oh. It's pretty cute actually. It's held up all right, I think. It's kind of spelled like Play- Nowtou S-E-B-A-D-U-H.
So it's doe with like Play-Doh, so yeah, something childlike. Childlike wonder. I've been using these little fidget balls. I think the brand is called Nido.
Nido? Yeah. And you just squeeze them. And someone asked me the other day, what they were useful for.
Like what was the point of the fidget? And I totally blanked out and I realized I couldn't answer. And then I was like, is there a point to it? Does it actually help anything?
And so then I had to Google it, of course. And then because I've been using them more lately, with mixed feelings, I almost feel embarrassed or something. Like why do I need these things or something? But it does say that it can help you focus.
Because then maybe you have this need to move your hands a lot. And so if you do just move them, then your brain can get to what it wants to do, I think, is the thought process with that. If anyone wants to chime in who's a fidget aficionado. Fidget seemed to come and go as trends.
There was a fidget trying a few gears back while ago. I feel like when Hendricks was in kindergarten, fidget were raging and two things. Like really cute looking things for kids to be gnawing on if they had maybe had an oral fixation or something. I feel like we've talked about this a long time ago in the pod, maybe in the early days of the pod.
But I thought that that was the ecstasy, the rave crowd. They had little things that they pretty suck on because they're fucking out of their minds on ecstasy, which is- They suck on little pacifiers, right? Yeah, because you know, they still do that. We're pacificing on the Mac and who knows?
Maybe people don't know what their fuck or how. Or on the occasion that I was to take ecstasy regularly, I probably would need something to chew on. Sure, yeah. My mouth does weird as shit when I'm on heavy drugs.
When it was- Yeah, okay. There we go. Was. Was.
Way past tense. It's been a long time. Yeah. But I get kind of a wag.
So. That's yucky. But fidget's, I want to say that I did get a need-o thing for somebody at some point and it was leaky. It was a leaky need-o.
Oh. I'm thinking whatever the corn syrup or whatever is inside those things. Uh-huh. I don't know what's inside of it.
It's a little stretch arm strong kind of thing. Yeah, I have one that's like a hand roller thing that I've been really enjoying. And then another one that is like a squeeze. And I kind of go back and forth.
They seem to scratch different itches for when I have different needs. But I'm in like a compromised place. You know, that's what it is. It's because I'm in a compromised place where I'm needing stuff right now.
You know, because I'm dealing with my mom and her illness, my mom who has ALS. And that's just been very, very difficult for me to juggle living with and seeing my mom, you know, going through that. So I've been kind of having a hard year, but besides that. We have accumulated an array of items from timers to fidget.
Yeah, to kind of help assist me to keep on task because I've been kind of like overwhelmed and then I get freeze, you know, where it might look like I'm not doing something, but instead I'm just like stopped because I have so many things in my head that are wanting to get done or fighting for number one spot. Well, I think acquiring these items too is also therapeutic for you. It can be. Yeah.
Because right now you're you are putting together the Marlowe family general studio slash store slash performance space. And that's been where you've been. You're like, what do I need? What kind of what items do we need?
What what gadgets do we need? What sort of and that's been really good? That's been a good. Yeah, it's been a good outlet for you.
Yeah. That is going on. Yeah. That's true.
Yeah, this morning our friend Alexis came to visit the Barlowe family general store to just see how it was going like my progress. I've been having help getting it like painted and sort of tidied up because it was uninhabited for quite a while and it needed some TLC and I've been doing some stuff there as well, getting it ready to really actually move my stuff there. And our friend Alexis gave me such an incredible compliment this morning. She just said that she thought that I thought of everything for all the little needs of the space and that really meant a lot to me because it has been a good place for me to go because right now it's kind of like fresh.
You know what I mean? It's it's clean like it hasn't accumulated stress piles like our house our house for instance right now is a series of stress piles and I certainly do nothing to make that better. In fact, I you can't do I embody a lot of the same. I don't I have a lot of these quirks too.
But I guess I kind of worked myself out with my hands and my instruments and I don't know. Yeah. Well, but I'm excited about it. So there is a space coming everyone and I think probably probably realistically and maybe late November mid November sorry and possibly December there could even be some little pop up holiday shopping things happening there.
We'll see. We'll let you know. Okay. Yeah.
And so we can put the pillows down on the floor and like a couple people can come and watch me play. I think that was amazing. We figured we could fit about 30 people snug. Yeah.
Which I you know could be like bring your own floor cushion kind of party. Oh, that's true. You know, I like the idea that we have like this big pile of blue cushions. I do.
I love the idea that I just have them. But then again, where would I put all these goddamn blue cushions? The pile in the back like on top of where the bathroom is. Oh my gosh, I know.
I know. Well, you know, things that I have been thinking about is this is a transition. The store. My mom is going through transition.
I'm going through this transition. It's also fall. Fall is transition, right? And a couple of days will be the first day of autumn officially.
But we all know it's fall and school year begins. And I think when I was younger, I was really into like romanticizing fall. I was always like, I love fall. Fall is my favorite.
I grew up in Minnesota. And so we have a beautiful autumn there. The leaves change. And boy, you know, you kind of live for something like that there because winter is long and really hard there.
And summer is short and very hot. So you get this kind of beautiful little transitional time. It just fall. And that is kind of the sweet spot for that state.
So I think the reason that I like fall and I have all of it. So do you like fall? I really do like fall. Is that your favorite season?
It's kind of my favorite season. Although when I moved to Los Angeles, then I fell in love with like having almost no seasons. Like I was like, because it was, I kind of like the no season thing. I call it as a gentler.
As a whole lot. As a whole lot. As a whole loter. I enjoyed there being one season because there wasn't the things that you have to do.
Although there was a very hot time there now. It's getting hotter. But like it didn't rain for years while I lived there. And it was extremely hot the entire time.
But you can always hide from it. Yeah. You can hide from it. And there's also, oh anyway, I can go on and on.
This is about LA. This is about fall. But I really liked it. Especially when I was in my early 20s is I liked the clothes that I could wear.
Yes. And layer because I was really into at that point I was like doing all my shopping at the Goodwill and Salvation Army thrift stores. So I was making these layered outfits of like old man coats and cardigans and cool vintage t-shirts that we didn't call them vintage t-shirts back then. None of that was like that.
It was just when you just had your fully thrifted old man clothes layer and the crisp air. And then also that kind of like that sort of rush of school being back in session. That's sort of this thrum of possibility in the air. And I think especially when I was in my early 20s going to college.
I didn't go to college but I went to college campuses because I was a total townee. 100% but I loved going to parties on college campuses because it was always, you know, it was be there at dusk and it was dark and just there were people cool and dark. People moving across the lawn and the campus and things are happening and people got a book under their arm. Maybe they're going to a library like tripping on some pharmaceutical masculine.

Mm hmm. There's nothing like walking through a graveyard. It's a cool fall. It's a cool kind of gothy.
Girls. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, I just love the layering. I love the looks. I love. I really like how it looks.
Fall is is you're so right because fall is actually if you care about your individual expression coming out through your look, fall is the optimum time of year. Yes. Right? It really is.
Because layering and you do get to put on a lot of stuff. You get to have a lot of accessories. Like people tend to layer on jewels and socks. You get to think about if your socks are cool.
Maybe your cool boots, right? Yeah. You know, you're going to cuff your jeans. You're going to have wide leg.
You're going to have a belt. You're going to have like a turtleneck underneath a vest with a coat or you're going to have corduroy. You're going to have so there's like textures. You maybe have a wool sweater that has like a little slawful in it.
Suede. Suede. Suede makes a strong appearance. Oh my God.
There's some suede in there. Patches and things. Ah. Yeah.
And then maybe your cheeks get a little crisp. Oh, that too. Everyone looks kind of rosy. And of course, when you're in your 20s, you're all just, you're sort of coming into adulthood.
So you're kind of blossoming. You know, your face is no longer smeared with scales of snot. You're actually kind of cleaning yourself up a little bit. You've learned a little bit too.
You're wiping your boogers on your sleeve anymore. You're trying to look good. You're trying to, yeah, it's a cool time. I have a lot of really, I don't know.
You know, also there's a part of it that's so bittersweet. Yes. It's like it's not too, it's like it's kind of sad. Exactly.
It's kind of sad. It's cold. Yeah. You know, it's biting, you know, especially at being out late at night, you know, going from party to party in your, in the beater car that you've inherited from your parents or your mom's.
I wonder if fall is really the best then as a, as a youth, like let's say in that sweet spot between like 18 and 25, is that the best time of your whole life to experience fall? Like, what do you think now as an older person, like an adult with kids? Like, how does fall land in you? You know, is it all seems like entering a tunnel to me now.
Now I'm just like, it just goes, what does that mean? It means hard times are coming. That's what it means. Fall means hard times are coming.
Because I'm grind right? There's some grind. It's going to be you're going to be when you have children. Yeah.
You got to get them up every morning. You got to get them up every morning. And then school is often canceled and then you're like, you know, they even go to school and they might be sick and then they've got a cold and then you've got a cold and as we work at home, it's it becomes, it's, it's those, the private times become less accessible. It just becomes harder.
The illness, the, I don't know. I still don't mind it. And I still, you know, I can find good things about all seasons, but I think as an adult, as an parent, I don't have the same nostalgia for it. It doesn't land the same.
I like our Halloween party that we have every year. We have this big, we put out a little tent in our front yard and have a fire and share casseroles with people. Hot dish Halloween. One of Adele's many brilliant ideas.
Hot dish Halloween. I think we're on our third or fourth at this point. Yeah, before fifth. So that's fun.
Yeah. So there are other things that I do enjoy about it, but there's nothing like the romantic, the romantic. That's true. Yeah, when you're younger, it's so different.
It's true. And I feel like I've been feeling almost this like guilt about that feeling I have now, where I'm not like as excited. I'm, I don't want to say I'm indifferent, but because I definitely can enjoy the good things about fall when they're happening. But then when hard things are happening, yeah, it does feel extra draining.
Did that make sense? Like I don't know if I always want to. I go out into my yard and just see all the crap everywhere. Like, and then people are, and then you're on like an adult Facebook group and then you're watching people argue about whether or not you, you rake the leaves.
Do you not rake the leaves? Do you care about the earth? Who get, you know, it's like all these, oh, God. And then, you know, and then I try to put out a pumpkin and some cords on my front steps.
And that's nice. But then I, I don't know, then you carve them and then they're rotting. Okay. Hold on.
I do. There's one thing I really didn't want to address in this episode. All right. Let's address it.
Now, speaking of the Barlow Family General Store. I'm going to do some shows there, just like little small scale performances for people. It's going to be fucking cool. But we did, we got a letter.
I know. We got an actual snail mail. I've gotten almost no mail there. Snail mail.
We look at a letter arrived. We have a letter. Very, very keen. A surfer because.
Yes. Do you want me to check this out? Oh, look. I, I love the fact that, I will say this like again, I think that he's a noticer and I like that because, you know, he must follow.
He's ordered some things from the Barlow Family General Store and then maybe he's seen, like, our Instagram account because I do have like the address of the store there and he sent us a letter. I was just like, really fun. I opened it up and I'm like, well, this is actual mail addressed to us. How sweet.
But I do want to apologize because this letter came to the store and we actually brought this letter all the way on tour to Canada, right? With a good intentions of like, maybe we'll do a podcast on the road. This letter went on tour. So Sasha, your letter has traveled.
We also have like, we have packed up some t-shirts to mail to people and we just took those on tour. We packed a store orders. Well, we're going to mail. Didn't do shit.
We didn't mail any of the things we brought. We brought them to another country. We brought them all the way to Eastern Canada. We didn't do podcast.
We didn't do anything. We actually carried these. Well, we worked on the tour. I dressed packages with us with mail sealed ready to go.
They were ready to be popped into the post office, but we took them all the way on tour and then we ended up mailing them several days after we got home. Indeed. So this letter came before we went on tour. We brought it with on tour thinking we would...
Here it is. September, anyway. And we also then missed the boat on... This is a birthday shout out request that came via a typed letter.
Incredible. If anyone else would like to send me a typed or handwritten letter, please don't send me anything fucking creepy. Not to diminish the importance of this, but do you think it's typed or did he just printed it out? Oh, sorry, right.
It's printed out. Well, that's what I mean. It's also an extra step of that. But if you have a typewriter...
Hey. Actually, that makes me angry. When I get typed, I'm like, oh, really? You just want to prove to me how much harder you...
You just want to make that point, don't you? You're personalizing their typewriter. Oh, absolutely. It's just...
Now I want to get a typewriter. I want to put it in our store. It's just a way to make me feel inadequate. We should put a typewriter in our store and call it the guest book.
And that's how you sign it. It just has this never ending scroll and then people can type a little message on it. Isn't that an idea? It's not an idea.
It's a done. They do it at the Bob Dylan Museum. Oh. See?
It's a original. Sorry. All right. All right.
So we apologize, Sasha. But look at this. This is the episode. Shout out.
It is late. Deeply sorry. Okay. Can I read the letter?
It's not for Sasha. I know but it's from him. I'm addressing him. So dear Luna Del, I'm writing to take you off on your offer of celebrating listener birthdays on the air.
To that end, we recently celebrated my son Vincent's Twelfth Birthday on August 2nd. Vincent loves playing sports, especially soccer and as a multi-instrumentalist in band Flute and Tenorsacks as well as singing in choir. And I don't know if I should read this other part. Oh, no, I'm sorry to say it.
What? Well, I will all leave that as like a special message just for us to know then. But uh, are you gonna wish Vincent a happy belated? Well, it's again, we're like...
Remember when we used to do very strictly short podcasts? You know, you get your own impressions. How are they? They're raw for impressions.
Yeah, I... You'll see. It's great in any form. I take it processed if that's the way.
It was given to me, you know. So... Like a hot dog? Processed?
I don't know. Thank you for listening to Raw Impressions! On behalf of the bell, Marlo, I say goodbye. I'm Fortrack Man.
I'll... See you later! Oh my goodness. Okay, well, okay.
We'll end it with this. Very special. We celebrate you, Vincent and Sasha. Thank you for your patience.
