S02E013 Ben Hozie - filmmaker/musician - PVT Chat / Bodega
September 11, 2020 11:00 - 2 hours - 51 MBBen @benhozie just premiered @fantasiafestival his new film PVT Chat starring Uncut Gems' @juliafox and @petervackofficial. People who asked what's Julia gonna be in next...this is it. It's a very NYC movie. Internet folk in NYC movie. Bc that's what we are. Made by a bunch of NYC people, namely Ben, who fronts one of the last fresh and relevant actual NYC based indie rock bands. They're like The Strokes, but Ben sings about today's existence on the internet. I told him I felt like his songs...
S02E012 Justine Triet - filmmaker - Sibyl
September 09, 2020 17:15 - 33 minutes - 31.2 MBJustine's Sibyl releases Friday Sept 11 via FIlm at Lincoln Center, my fav. I watched the film last year at NYFF and loved it. I talk to Justine about contemporary films about adults living adult lives, dealing with adult thoughts. We get them from France, but rarely United States. She has such a wonderful cast because she creates such major roles. Every single role in the film is nuanced, a look into a three dimensional person. There are no thin secondary characters, she does each one relat...
S02E011 Eve Barlow - journalist / Jew
September 03, 2020 02:41 - 2 hours - 58.4 MBEve @evebarlow has a conflict. A few actually. Most people know her as a music journalist writing for @guardian @GQ @latimes @nymag @pitchfork @billboard @tabletmag @nmemagazine @playboy. Lately, she's been a really loud Jew. Will her music people remain interested when Judaism is the topic? Will the massive influx of new followers via Judaism read her music writing? Can she be a music journalist who is also an activist around Judaism? What about Zionism? What about the conversation around I...
S02E010 Ryan Kruger - filmmaker - Fried Barry
August 31, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 32.1 MBRyan @aryankrugerthing is filmmaker behind @friedbarrymovie playing now @fantasiafestival. It's a gonzo trip movie where he pulls out all the tricks he never got to use on his many music videos or commercials. It's heroin gonzo meets alien gonzo. I don't know if it really matters if we're watching Barry under the influence of heroin or an alien possession, but just everything happens. What I loved most about talking to Ryan is hearing how much he loves his movie. He made exactly the film he ...

S02E009 Julia Sarah Stone - actress - Come True
August 30, 2020 21:05 - 49 minutes - 19.2 MBJulia @reel.jss stars in Come True, premiering TONIGHT @fantasiafestival. It's Anthony Scott Burns' soph film, and I learned from Julia they had eight people on set. Very cool. It makes sense. Burns requires serious emotional openness and evolution from Julia, where her internal shifts in her subconscious and unconscious fully drive the narrative. It's Julia's show. Her face is the star of the movie. And she's got one of those faces. It's a classic you don't forget. Added iconic short blonde...

S02E007 Chino Moya - filmmaker - Undergods
August 29, 2020 20:45 - 1 hour - 40.6 MBChino premieres Undergods, his feature debut, this weekend @fantasticfestival. It's pitch black in cool blue, a dystopian future, a crumbled Europe, a sinkhole of a narrative carved into chapters channeling this despair into stories of broken intimacy. Broken organization, broken communication, broken masculinity. Everything broken and fragmented. As we discuss though, this isn't to leave you hopeless. It's to open your eyes and demand something else when you exit that theater (or turn off y...

Her co-director Josie Hess @yosiesaurus couldn't join us just bc lotsa time zones. Morgana is an emotional story of a woman making a courageous shift in her circumstances and taking control of her life and narrative.

S02E005 Obubu Tea - George Guttridge Smith
August 28, 2020 10:00 - 3 hours - 186 MBGeorge @georgeguttridgesmith of @obubuteafarms (Wazuka, Japan) is officially my longest episode! And we could have kept going easily. If you go back to my episode with Elyse Petersen of Tealet, you heard us talking about Obubu's internship program. Elyse started that, and George was a participant in 2018, never left Wazuka. Well, he left and came back, but you know what I mean. Obubu is a leader in the field. Beyond internships, there's a wonderful tour business, videos, classes, trips, and ...

S02E003 Kathryn Frazier - Biz3 PR/Mgmt/Life coaching
August 27, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 84.5 MBKathryn @klfbiz3, founder of @biz3publicity is IMHO one of the most important people in the music industry. I didn't say 'women.' She's touched more angles than most I know. We started by talking about her ex-husband's new record (www.agrapedope.com), formerly of peak cool indie rock band Tortoise. We barely talked about her cofounding OWSLA with Skrillex and Tim Smith. We talked some about her generic publicity and management empire. We touched on hip hop artists she works with like Killer ...

S02E003 Bitterleaf Tea - Jonah Snyder
August 26, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 107 MBJonah @bitterleafteas originates in Canada, but married into tea life. He and his wife moved to Kunming, in China's Yunnan province (arguably the birthplace of tea, home of Pu Erh), where she was raised. They've built a great brand exporting really high quality Chinese tea, teaware and education. Their site, tea club, and newsletter are a really beautiful starting or immersion point for any tea novice or lover. It's very cool getting Jonah's perspective, because we're raised in similar place...
S02E002 Andreea Magdalina - SheSaidSo
August 25, 2020 10:00 - 2 hours - 113 MBAndreea @amagdalina started @shesaidso pre-#MeToo. It's been a cool transition watching her work from before it was, woah, as weird as this is to type, I don't think it can be disputed, trendy. It was an afterthought. I didn't even take it too seriously tbh. We co-hosted events, but I wasn't too involved. I felt the work really important, but I had no idea what to do about it, and felt like nobody really cared. Now everyone cares soooo much. And while the kind of work SheSaidSo does is not t...

S01E066 Season One: Mexico Season Finale - SG x Bianca Allen
July 28, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 65.4 MBI left Mexico two days ago. I recorded this while watching my final sunset with the person I spoke to most during my five months of isolation in Careyes. Bianca and I dated a while ago but reconnected when I was sick earlier this year, because she was always good to me when I was sick. In general, I get really annoyed talking to a lot of people for this time in my life, because there's all of this attachment put on me that I'm no longer ok with. I left what I saw as my world or the world a f...
S01E065 - SG Reads Mark Rothko
July 27, 2020 10:00 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MBSecond to last episode of season one. Day before I leave Careyes, Mexico, where I spent five months in actual isolation for quar. It was wild. Some of my feelings toward the end, as I prepare to reenter civilization.

S01E064 Stephanie LaCava - writer The Superrationals
July 26, 2020 11:00 - 2 hours - 116 MBStephanie @stephanielacava and I share so many artistic references and influences, we can talk forever. This one is a two parter, as her computer died mid recording and we were chatting anyway so just continued it a few days later until her son needed her. Stephanie's new book The Superrationals is a tight and dense 189 pages. The first thing I said to her after reading a few pages was the you have to live a lot to write that direct. That is, there's lives between the words. We're both major ...
S01E063 - Hazkel Brown - Homosinner
July 25, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 77.4 MBHazkel aka @homosinner makes some of my favorite looks. Between his makeup and styling, he has the ability to really build characters in singular images. He's built up a motif around his Homosinner persona, and regularly collaborates with my favorite, and IMHO most influential image makers out there right now, such as @zah and @gypsysport. Diet Prada could open up a new account just for this NYC set and all the brands who copy them. Hazkel's originally from Costa Rica, but has been in NYC fo...
S01E062 - Pete Lawrie Winfield - Until the Ribbon Breaks / Vero Music
July 24, 2020 12:59 - 2 hours - 117 MBPete Lawrie-Winfield @petelawriewinfield is has gone through the whole music machine and spun it into new ways of living and creating. His band Until the Ribbon Breaks did all the things, signed with the biggest label in the world, toured with Lorde at her peak, had features from all the cool kids. And he tells of it being pretty incredible, but a lot more, and a lot less. He's recently launched a new label with Vero @verotruesocial, as Vero Music, with their first release Thunder Jackson. I...
S01E059 - Merck Mercuriadis - Hipgnosis Songs
July 22, 2020 18:27 - 1 hour - 66.6 MBMerck @merck_mercuriadis is founder of @hipgnosissongs, a three year old music IP investment company, amongst other things like artist management stemming from Merck's prior history as CEO of Sanctuary for 20 years, personal manager of Nile Rodgers, Morrissey and many others. Merck uses the phrase 'song management' to describe what others would simply call a publishing company. It speaks to the active nature of his approach compared to the traditionally passive way the majors let songs reap w...
S01E058 Leigh Stein - author, Self Care
July 20, 2020 12:14 - 1 hour - 103 MBLeigh @leighstein is really smart. She nailed the whole entrepreneur - influencer mythology, and according to Leigh, she had no personal experience nor access to any of the models. I have, and this is a funny conversation, where I ended up talking way more than I expected, but I needed to tell her how on point her book is. It's called 'dark satire,' but I would argue that label is misleading, because these characters are REAL! I love the book, and I love her other writing. Check out her recen...
S01E057 Carolina Levy - Soy Te
July 18, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 86.1 MBCarolina @carolevymx runs @soytemx, as far as I know, the highest quality tea company in Mexico, my adopted home. She partners with @teadrunk, previously featured with guest Shunan Teng. I had one of her roasted oolongs after this episode, and it warmed me in really lovely ways. Aftertaste coated back of throat, and it really filled my chest, the mark of a good oolong. Caro is very knowledgeable about tea. She tells of her education on this episode, it's a really good story for anyone intere...
S01E054 Patrice Baumel
July 16, 2020 10:00 - 2 hours - 142 MBPatrice @patrice_baumel is an electronic music producer from Germany currently based out of Amsterdam. We connected thanks to Scuba and had here what could have been a much longer conversation. Love talking about how electronic and dance music has evolved over the last few decades, getting lots of detailed insight into scenes I was only on the periphery of. We talk about finding balance in producing for audiences and what comes fully natural in a vacuum. Lots of ideas and philosophy talk. En...
S01E056 - Daniel Askill
July 16, 2020 10:00 - 52 minutes - 47.8 MBDaniel @danielaskill is editing his first narrative feature! I learned this on the episode, so excited for him. He's a director I've known for a while, you've seen lots of his work. Most notably the Sia 'Chandelier' video. I'm not gonna link it who cares, you know it, you can find it. Anyone incapable of that isn't listening to this podcast, let's be real. Westworld ripped off his short film Universal Machine last year. His cinema is obsessed with bodies. You can trace his style from the beg...

S01E053 Elyse Petersen - Tealet
July 15, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 108 MBElyse @tealettea is different from the other tea world guests I've had so far. She's focused on wholesale, starting by opening up relationships with farms in the east, all the way to her network of worldwide retailers. She uses the term 'cultural bestowment' to replace a lot of buzz words we hear, to describe a mission of bringing quality tea to the world, with consciousness around all that occurs from field to cup. She's invested in education and connection around the tea world, from novice...

S01E053 Wrekmeister Harmonies - JR Robinson & Ester Shaw
July 14, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 85.2 MBWrekmeister Harmonies @wrekmeisterharmonies JR Robinson and Ester Shaw released my album of the year in February. It's funny that during the episode I thought it was released last year, but time is a flat circle. It's a huge literary transcendental work. Really has a beginning middle and end, it's incredibly emotional. We talk about the ideas at work, and how many with minimal exposure to these kinds of sounds can mistake it for being 'dark.' This is a good episode if you want some 101 expos...
S01E052 Zuri Washington - @blackatdalton
July 13, 2020 10:00 - 2 hours - 144 MBZuri @zuriwithafringeontop is spokesperson for @blackatdalton, an account shining light on racism at the school we both graduated from. It's part of a lot of emerging accounts, starting with @blackatbrearley. I support what they are doing and hope to bridge gaps in conversation given my position, which I go into in the episode. More info from Zuri: Zuri Washington is a Dalton School Alumni (Class of ‘09) who normally graces stages across the country as an actress and singer, but in these CO...
S1E051 Antoine Wagner
July 12, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 82.2 MBAntoine @antoinewagnerstudio and I met ten years ago when he was filming his documentary on Phoenix during the album and tour cycle of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. That was quite the time. One of the best albums of all time period. We watched them go from a respected act with a core fanbase playing venues like Music Hall of Williamsburg (600 capacity), to Madison Square Garden (20,000 cap), that legendary set with Daft Punk, to headlining Coachella (remember when R. Kelly came out to perform th...
E050 Cherie Hu - Water & Music
July 10, 2020 19:05 - 2 hours - 121 MBCherie @cheriehu42 @water_and_music is a music journalist focused on the industry side. Her work helps a huge problem with the music industry, the exchange of information and learning. It's been historically difficult for anyone, but particularly the non-white and connected individuals, to learn how the music industry works. Writers like Cherie make this available to everyone. When I was a kid, it was Hits Magazine and Hitmakers, but only the already in the industry read it. Bob Lefsetz bran...
E049 Luke Jenner - The Rapture
July 07, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 106 MBLuke @mrlukejenner of The Rapture and I recorded this day of his new release on his brand new label @manonorecords. It's really good. Long journey emotional spectrum full of ideas. We'd connected here and there over the years DJing or DFA adjacent hangs but never really talked proper. This was very cool to just go all in on ideas and feelings. We examine ourselves and the life of making stuff in similar ways and end up agreeing on a bunch of the explorations. We also connect on the need for ...
E048 Lauren Sherman - Business of Fashion
July 07, 2020 01:07 - 1 hour - 104 MBLauren @lapresmidi is New York based Editor of the Business of Fashion @bof, IMHO the most important fashion industry publication. I've been reading/following Lauren for a while. She was really influential and informative when I put my brand together. The sharing of information is so important. Fashion and music have forever been industries where skills, language, codes, processes, the whole system, gets hidden behind walls, only shared with those that people in special positions deem specia...
E047 SG reads Dr. John 'Under a Hoodoo Moon'
June 24, 2020 15:22 - 49 minutes - 45.7 MBMac Rebennack invented the Dr. John persona after a famous New Orleans character we'd now probably call an herbalist or homeopath, but they'd call a doctor. He was a long time New Orleans blues and rock musician who came up with the idea to invoke this persona and make an album of gris-gris (voodoo/hoodoo) music. The persona stuck, only parts of the gris-gris stuck, and the music evolved and transcended repeatedly until his death last year. I read this chapter because it evokes some learning...
E046 C.A.R. Aka Chloe Raunet
June 23, 2020 11:35 - 2 hours - 112 MBChloe @c.a.r.music is one of my favs. She's been in every dj set I've played for a while. She finds this beautiful balance btw a harder edge than house music but not past the techno line where it's only enjoyable in certain circumstances. It's rock music really. That happens to tap into dance music. She's a welcome salve on dance music vox that all sound the same. I hate dance music vox. I'd encourage you to start with her new LP. Then the remixes (new ones Friday). Then go back to Battant an...
E045 Nischal Banskota - Nepal Tea
June 22, 2020 13:35 - 1 hour - 80.6 MBNischal @nepalteallc and I met at Little Tokyo's LA Tea Festival 5 years ago I'd guess. https://nepalteallc.com His tea story is richer than most, you can talk about it in the same paradigm we talk about any tea story, the generational development, but there's the unique geography of Nepal that adds to it. So we can talk religion, border conflicts, education, so much. This could be a follow up episode another time, ideally in person in the new world, because in 2 hours we just kinda gloss ov...

E043 SG talks about life and reads Ash Carter's book on Mike Nichols
June 20, 2020 17:20 - 1 hour - 58.9 MBContinuing from yesterday's episode with Ash Carter, I start to read Ash's book about a half hour in. Otherwise I just talk about stuff. But listen to whole thing because I ramble but it all heads toward context for the reading. You can also totally just listen to the reading and enjoy it on its own. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/teawithsg/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/teawithsg/support
E042 Ash Carter - Life Isn't Everything (Mike Nichols book) / Airmail
June 19, 2020 15:32 - 53 minutes - 48.8 MBAsh (not on social media bc) and I go back to college, but both grew up in NYC, and our parents who ran in similar circles, had weekend houses in same tiny town nobody else knew about until the last few years. Ash is one of the few friends I have whom can speak fluently on a Manhattan that is pretty much gone, or left to really old people. He's been writing and editing for a great list of magazines over the last few years, and published his first book last year on filmmaker, playwright, come...
E041 Jason Chang
June 18, 2020 12:10 - 1 hour - 91.8 MBJason and I met at a tea festival in LA in 2015. You can hear me recall the three teas his brand was offering for tasting that day. Jason was a big part of my education in tea, where he and a few others would come by on weekends early and we'd just sit there for hours and get tea drunk. Jason and I keep this tradition up whenever we're both in LA, but he's been spending more and more time in Taiwan lately, working on both his family business and a new tea venture. I'll hopefully get to see h...
E040 Andrew Wyatt - Cala
June 17, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 87 MBAndrew @awhyit is founder/CEO of Cala @thisiscala. They provide all the backend a clothing designer needs to focus on solely creative. I've talked a lot lately around how the music industry works on systems and practices that are only learned when passed person to person, so it becomes very difficult to learn how to do things "professionally" if you're not granted access.
