New Mix Tape! New Related Records band!

7/1/2022

This is the fifth release in a series of mixtapes I am making to help different people who are in need right now. Tapes will be available for only 1 month and at the end of that period of time, all the money made from those sales will go to the person in need. This time all the money is going to Analissia

Analissia is a chronically ill, neuro-divergent, non-binary, POC artist from Phoenix, AZ They have some pretty serious medical bills right now, so all the money from these tapes will go towards help them pay of debt collectors.

If you want to donate directly to them, you can purchase something from their website, or donate to them on Venmo or C ash App

This mixtape is made up of protest music by mostly femmes+queers and more than half of the music features black and indigenous people. When I started working on this mix I quickly realized how important this particular niche/genre was and decided to reach out to some friends, musicians, dj's and artists who's political and musical taste i admire for help.

In the end, I feel like this is a really good mix of protest music that hopefully motivates you to take action and do something about all the things that are causing us pain right now... Sometimes its best to just burn it down.

If you are unfamiliar with Fatty Cakes & The Puff Pastries... where have you been? It is the band that dreams are made of, queer, multi-racial, body positive, ACAB, punk band ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!! I have been courting this group for a couple of years now, hoping some day they would want to work with me and a couple months ago they hit me up "Hey we are almost sold out of our self titled LP and we are about to go on tour, would you be able/interested in doing a run of tapes for us?" I replied immediately "YES!" and put in an order for 100 tapes to be made that same week. These don't officially come out until July 22nd, But since they came a few weeks early, I am going to start shipping them out early... like probably next week.

Episode 12 of The Best Friends Podcast features one of our all time favorite artist/musician/puppeteer - Panacea Theriac a.k.a. Miss Pussycat! Sadly we had a few technical difficulties and some of our conversation was lost but we still had a LOT to talk about! Miss Pussycat tells us about her time here in AZ working at Arcosanti, being a part of ‘titRex - a miniature Mardi Gras parade, and what it’s like being a traveling artist, making friends all over the world! We also spend a chunk of time geeking out on how much we love Miss Pussycat and how she ended up on our radar. Quintron also makes an appearance and to his dismay, Miss Pussycat shares their love story with us!
