Undressing Underground/Platonic Polyamory Rob Marvin

Part two of our conversation with Jazmin, this time more focused on her own story and artwork. We learn about the origins of some of her recurring characters, her highly personal work with her father, and what it's like teaching art to elementary school kids these days.

Be sure to check out Jazmin's work on her Instagram, but also please do stop by her fundraiser for Palestine if you're around LA on 4/27/2024. More info below, but you can also check out the official flyer on her instagram.

We talk to artist Jazmin about her Fundraiser for Palestine set to take place at the Matilija Lending Library in El Monte, CA (near LA) on Saturday 4/27.



We focus almost entirely on the fundraiser in this episode. Next week we'll have more about Jazmin's background as an artist and the usual b******t about reality shows, Jennifer's weird life, etc.



For more info on the fundraiser, check out this flyer on Jazmin's's Instagram. For more info on Jazzzyyy, just click back to the rest of her Insta.



If you have trouble with Instagram, here's the info for the flyer. Be sure to reach out if you have any food or anything else you can offer for the event.



Today is Land back day, a significant day when Palestinians hold protests, vigils, and show resistance towards the Israeli force for the years they have occupied Palestinian land and taken innocent lives since 1976 which has tragically still continued till today. If you want to show more support or get more involved to call an immediate ceasefire, please read the following caption:Mark your calendars for April 27th!!A Fundraiser for Palestine: An Art Show and Call for Action 🕊️Location: Matilija Lending Library, El MonteTime: 6-10pmEntrance fee: $10 (all funds donated towards Palestinian Aid)Bring Your Own Stamps + ChairsGuest speakers from nonprofits, featured Poets and Writers for Palestinian liberation, live music from bands BadSoma & Supercoze, and food/drink vendors! This is a CALL FOR ACTION event!

Part two of our conversation with Anthony Thomas Lombardi in which we delve more into how he got into poetry, rap music, God, and his involvement with different facets of the Free Palestine movement.



For more on the latter, check out the Google Doc he references in the episode.



For more on his poetry and Anthony in general, check out his Instagram.



For more on us, subscribe or listen to old episodes. I'm walking out the door and don't feel like looking up links.

Today is the first part of our talk with an old friend of mine, the poet Anthony Lombardi. We've known each other for about 16 or 17 years (he takes poetic license to claim 20) but have lost touch several times, only for him to reemerge in a completely different stage of his life.

Now he's a poet, sober, and thriving (if you ask me, not him). He regularly performs around New York, teaches several courses on poetry and film, published all over, has another book coming out in 2025, and he's getting divorced again.

We talk more about his poetry in the second half, but this time we do touch on it but mostly discuss Amy Winehouse, his connection to Big Star, addiction, and the loss of friends and loved ones. Beneath all the neck tattoos he's a big softie.

You can mostly learn more about Anthony via his Instagram, where he regularly posts his poetry and includes links to the causes he's involved with.

The second half of our conversation with esteemed noise musician Leslie Keffer. In this part we talk about noise music (of course), touring, stained glass, and spend a good chunk talking about AI.

Nothing anti-AI this time. Sorry.

Same opening and closing tracks as last time since I've got a lot going on and didn't have time. But still be sure to check out Leslie's Bandcamp page, No Part Of It's Bandcamp, and, I dunno, google around about her. She's been around a while and done a ton of interesting stuff. One of which is this Gutter: Girls of Noise doc I still need to watch.

ALSO! Are you doing cool shit like Leslie? Do you know Leslie or Arvo or one of our other guests? We want to talk to you! There's always more room in our platonic polycule, but we also have lives and jobs and stuff and can't spend as much time as we'd like looking for new guests. If you're interested, find us on social media or shoot me an email at rob@undressingunderground.com

Oh, and don't forget to subscribe to Jennifer's mailing list, the Dirtbag Christian.

We finally had just enough of a break from all the horrible, complicated, and annoying things in our lives to sit down and talk to esteemed noise musician, and mutual friend of Arvo Zylo, Leslie Keffer. We talk about how she got into noise music, touring, and some about her process, but the Zoom's AI that Jennifer discovered probably gives a good of a synopsis of the overall conversation as I can:



Based on the meeting transcript, the conversation seems to be casual and meandering, covering various topics such as podcasting, music scenes, secret societies, and polyamory. The participants discuss their experiences and share anecdotes about living in Nashville, attending shows, and encountering different subcultures. There is also mention of Freemasons, Mormonism, and the TV show "Big Love." Overall, the meeting appears to be a friendly and informal discussion without any specific agenda or action items.



We'll be in a week or two with part two of our discussion. In the meantime, you can hear more from the split EP tape of Leslie playing (respectively) with Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore on YouTube and here more of her solo work either on her bandcamp or the No Part Of It label's bandcamp. You can also find Leslie on Twitter.



Also, if you're interested in more projects of people fucking around with radios, there's the short film Brandon and I shot in Joshua Tree last year, Extinction Weekend. And Jennifer can always be found on her Substack, the Dirtbag Christian.
