Lynn Breedlove (He/They) is a longtime legend in the Bay Area Punk Scene, having played the same stage the same night with Pansy Division (Oh the story there) and so much else.

Pulling long time collaborators Travis Andrews and percussionist Andy Meyerson for this current project "Trust Me" for some really beyond personal experiences of grief, growing up queer, lost in America's shameful history of exclusion. Fighting to self identify, and fighting just to survive.

This album goes into a life no stone unturned, Lynn tells the story of a series of murders that were personal, and how to love the person who did it, saying "Forgiveness does not equal justice" and plenty of other insights into what makes us human.

Lynn also told some great stories about Chris Freeman of Pansy Division, that I have his permission to leave in this episode.

The album is called "Why I like Dead Guys", and it came from an email explaining Bowie and Prince. Nuff said.

If there was a mix of George Harrison style Beatles, into the Cochella inspired "Desert Rock", only better, you have the music of Imaad Wasif, a Canadian singer / songwriter who now lives in the Los Angeles area.

He has been making music for years, and played in other bands, and now has his own label releasing his own music on his terms. With that, we got to discuss his new release "Superconscious", a wandering musical journey getting close to enlightenment, but still managing to keep your feet on the ground.

Themes of depression, loss, mourning, and confusion with the world, and some introspective ideas of where it all might be going.

I had a lot of fun in this interview, but I also really needed it, this album came into my life in the midst of so much spirit crushing stuff in life. He seems to help you get through it.

This is where you can find it all.

Dominique Fils-Aime has a commanding presence, just photos show how amazing her visuals are. But once you hear her voice, you feel like you have met the flipside of Florence Welsh and Adele. Her voice is so powerful, playful, soothing, and "other worldly" that her videos almost do it justice.

Dominique is a French Canadian Jazz singer from Montreal, and she has a great vibe all her own, though she does capture a lot of the "Montreal Vibe" that you hear in bands like BranVan 3000.

Having just released her new album "My World Is The Sun", we talked about the music that inspired her, how her mothers just goofing off on a tape brought this whole new album together, and how snakes feel totally comfortable around her.

Having won Juno awards (Like the Grammy in Canada) She is one singer you just can't pass up.
