Episode 20 - Salami Rose Joe Louis // Musician. Producer.

“Join me as we take another trip down south for the second episode in a row, from the Bay to LA, to chop it up with my new homie, Lindsay Olsen, aka Salami Rose Joe Louis. She’s a genre-traveling multi-instrumentalist, musician, and producer. She’s dropped a whole magical crate full of amazing music, insanely colorful remixes, and has somehow crafted an incredibly unique sound. A recent favorite of mine is her spectacular live performance video on the Live on KEXP series. I’ve known about Lindsay’s musical project for some years now, recognizing how much of a pillar she was in the Bay Area underground scene, and thanks to my friend and BEDROOM™ alumni, Sarah Simka Jaffe, I was finally able to get her on the pod.

In this episode of BEDROOM™, Lindsay talks about her love for the Bay and how the Bay Area helped sculpt her musical project. We then discuss how financially difficult it is to be a full-time musician/artist—the amount of transparency on this topic alone is worth a listen. As we continue through the pod, Frodo Baggins may or may not make an appearance, and we talk about the Light Phone—by the way, holler at me, Light Phone, for the freaking sponsorship!! We dive into her future musical and personal plans. Lindsay spits mad game about the DAW she uses for recording music, and we even talk about her remixes for Pearl & The Oysters and don’t forget to mention the collaborative track she did with Toro y Moi. Dikembe Mutombo gets his flowers, and we shoot into space with a discussion on science fiction. My robot makes some silly—and educational—remarks, and from there, we dive into some listener-submitted questions from BEDROOM™ friends and musicians Garrett Barley and Mae Powell. Finally, after all that, we wrap up with a round of BEDROOM BANTER™, where I rapid-fire some classic BEDROOM™ questions, and Lindsay gives the fans what they want. Big shout-outs to Lindsay, aka Salami Rose Joe Louis, for coming onto the pod. Welcome to the BEDROOM™, y’all! WORLDWIDE PEACE!” – PSG

Episode 19 - Jesse Nyberg // Graphic Designer. Content Creator.

“Join me as we take a trip down south, from the Bay to LA, to chop it up with my new homie, Jesse Nyberg. Jesse is part graphic design phenom and part content creator extraordinaire. His design work focuses heavily on typography, texture, and layout, blending the sensibilities of two completely contrasting worlds: traditional Swiss design and the more DIY, post-modern and anti-design movement. His creative voice is loud and clear, and he’s created some pretty cool stuff for clients like Decca Records, Western Digital, Creator Camps, and more. I discovered Jesse through his YouTube channel, and his video work in that space is just as prolific. If you're into watching videos about graphic design, I highly recommend checking out his channel.

In this episode of BEDROOM™, we talk about how Jesse got started with making videos on YouTube, how he combats burnout with self-initiated design projects. Jesse shares how he balances his life as a content creator and as a graphic designer. We then dive into some of his series-based design projects, like his Hardcore Alphabet Album Cover Series, where he designed a different hardcore album cover for each letter of the alphabet, and his Blues Legends Poster Design Series, a collection of 20 posters honoring his favorite blues artists. We also discuss the harshness of people who gate-keep subcultures and information as a whole, and how that can stunt the growth of the very thing they’re trying to protect. Jesse also shares insights about his podcast project, The Jesse Nyberg Podcast, where he recorded 96 episodes. He talks about his design ambitions with the launch of his new studio, Cuesta Studio. From there, we dive into some listener-submitted questions from BEDROOM™ friend Joel Kirschenbaum (aka Joel Cherry Tree). And finally, after all that, we wrap up with a round of BEDROOM BANTER™, where I rapid-fire some classic BEDROOM™ questions, and Jesse gives the fans what they want. Big shout-outs to Jesse for coming onto the pod. Welcome to the BEDROOM™, y’all! WORLD WIDE PEACE!” – PSG

Episode 18 - Tanukichan // Musician. Woodworker.

“It’s Tanukichan season, y’all! For those who don’t know, Tanukichan is the solo project of classically trained Bay Area native Hannah van Loon. This is an episode I’m really hyped about because, well, to put it simply, I’m a huge fan of Hannah’s music. Her 2023 LP “Gizmo” and her latest drop, the 2024 EP “Circles”, are on heavy rotation for me. The combination of Hannah’s voice, the instrumentation and musicality of her compositions, and the distortion is just a freaking chef’s kiss to my ears. Hannah has opened for bands like Alvvays, Alex G, and Melanie Martinez, and a couple of months back, I saw her headline a show at The Independent with another band I love, Glixen. Hannah and I were introduced by a mutual friend last year, and we sparked up our friendship through collaboration. I designed some posters and edited some social media promos for her Circles tour. It’s always so fun and cute to make a new friend, and as much fun as we had on the pod, off the pod was even more of a blast. All in all, she’s a really fun and cool person with an extreme amount of talent. Yay, Hannah!

In this episode of BEDROOM™, Hannah talks about the origin of forming Tanukichan, signing with Company Records, and how her collaborations with Chaz Bear of Toro y Moi helped shape her distinctive sound. She dishes some behind-the-scenes scoop on her songwriting process and how she goes about making music and finding inspiration. We also dive into a more unexpected topic: her other big love, woodworking. She shares the scoop on which company makes the best power tools—totally huge BEDROOM™ exclusive, by the way—and talks about the similarities between music making and woodworking. We then tackle some fears and talk about stage fright and what it’s like to play a show in front of 10,000 fans. From there, we dive into some epic listener-submitted questions from BEDROOM™ friends like Tyler McPherron, Tori Leonhardt, Alex Shen, and Samantha Sartor. And alas, after all of that, we end with a round of BEDROOM BANTER™, where I rapid-fire some classic BEDROOM™ questions, and Hannah gives the fans what they want. Big shout-outs to Hannah for coming onto the pod. Welcome to the BEDROOM™, y’all! WORLD WIDE PEACE!” – PSG
