Old friend Brook Pridemore and new friend Jake McKelvie stop by to discuss their life as artists in gentrifying Brooklyn. While I go all academic Marxist on them, they offer pragmatic advice on how to find platforms for art at this moment in history. We discuss venues, physical media vs. downloads, and of course, Freddie got Fingered.
Pre-orders for Brook’s new album Metal is My Only Friend are available on Brook Pridemore’s Bandcamp page. And while Jake keeps saying that his EP Rhinestone Busboy is old, I think it still sounds pretty fresh. You can also find out more about Jake McKelvie and the Countertops at their website.
As always, the explicit tag is earned.
