Something completely different for the podcast, Psikotyk gets a chance to talk with the talent-juggernaut that is Aeona Cruz. Successful actress, touring social advocate, author, pageantry contestant (and potential ghost-seeker?), and all before she's legal to do all the things that likely cause the distractions that keep us "adults" from succeeding in the first place!
MUSIC:Michael Jackson - Man in the Middle & Heal the World
For the first episode of Season Four of The Closet of Nonsense, we couldn't think of a better way to return than to visit with our comrade and colleague Sabrina Sins. We spend our time talking about her current career struggles, the downfall of social media society, just how busy life can really get, and (of course) her cats.
MUSIC:
Dance Gavin Dance - Prisoner
Silverstein - Smile in Your Sleep
The greatest thing about being involved in so many facets of the entertainment industry is that we almost always have friends and colleagues doing something amazing, and Fallon Vendetta is ALWAYS working. So, finding time is difficult, as it so often is, BUT she and costar Sophie Roberts found ninety minutes in their hectic shooting schedule to sit down and discuss their upcoming indie film, "Sucks 2 Suck". Other than describing the utter chaos that comes with creating an independent project like this, they also very openly discuss their inspirations behind the project, and why instances like these create stronger bonds and friendships even amongst the negatives that occur in life.MUSIC:
SZA - Kill Bill
Vampires Everywhere - Suffocate Me
An obligatory solo episode from Psikotyk as we try to finish out this season strong with the interviews and conversations we have scheduled. This one is picked straight from the headlines... or really, ABOUT the headlines, as he talks about how to filter out misinformation and learn to interpret for yourselves where you get your information from.MUSIC:Anxxiety - HeartbreakThe Broken Poet Society - Stitches
One of those episodes that honestly should have happened back in Season One, Psikotyk finally got to sit down and chop it up with round-the-year purveyor of horror and the macabre, Samhain the One. A staunch supporter of the Halloween365 movement, Samhain is also an online personality and streamer known for his off-the-cuff banter; that comes through in this episode as we discuss online personality versus irl, what it means to live as a character, and why we tend to sell ourselves short in so many situations we generally excel at.MUSIC:
The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
Kordhell - Murder in My Mind
One of the interviews we have always wanted to do (as her multi-dimensional, multi-faceted, multi-interest brand of marketing is what we as a podcast strive for), we couldn't be happier to be joined by musician/model/designer/influencer BABYCHAOS on this episode. Not only do we discuss her varying interests and career paths, but how that affects her overall lifestyle when it has been in process for as long as hers. This incredibly driven and strong woman should teach classes on brand establishment, and she shares some of that insight and how it translates across media formats and in real life.
Music:BABYCHAOS - "Icon" and "Flesh"
We're back, after a longer-than-intended break from broadcasting! And by 'we', we mean 'Psikotyk', as this is just a solo, let's catch up and talk some shop, spill some tea, and ruffle through the neighbor's garbage because you can't get in trouble for looking even though you have zero proof they're ACTUALLY hiding aliens in their basement kind of episode.Music:Skies Marie - "Last Hope"Ekoh - "Freeverse 6"
It took a little begging. Groveling, really. But former Go from There Podcast alum Travanti Jaramillo finally relented, and we ended up having a very open conversation. Ranging in topics from what it means to establish ones own legacy to how celbrity can differ from personal connection when it comes to loss, and of course on to the inevitable debate on the state of political affairs we seem to always fall back on.Music:Controlled Demise - "Cocaine Super Saiyan"MC Entity - "I Drink"
Another interview that was originally scheduled for Season Two, Psikotyk managed to get musician/artist/film star Nick Bedrosian on the line for a candid conversation about his career. Topics vary from how different touring and live performance is post-Covid to how perspective and experience can not only shape how you walk through your life, but how you can put yourself in others' shoes more easily, to random stories of our colorful history together.Music:Otherwise - "Exit Wound"Halsey - "I"m Not a Woman, I'm a God"
Originally scheduled for Season Two, we finally got a chance to get a phone conversation in with designer/model/clothing label owner Little Paulson. We talk about the wonders of online connection and communication, how it feels to be sleep deprived on purpose, and some of our nightmare situations in the various workplaces we share.Music:Jasiah feat. jdxn - "Earthquake"Pardyalone - "Not a Home"
Once again, Ritual joins us on The Closet of Nonsense! We discuss her future, her present, everything she's been up to the last year or two, and everything in between from her modeling career to her music.
.... actually...... she wasn't going by Ritual at that point, so is this actually her first appearance? Or DOES it count as another appearance?? How is that supposed to work?? WE'RE HAVING A SECONDHAND IDENTITY CRISIS HERE......
Music:Ritual - "Lost a Little"
THE FINAL EPISODE.... of season two. No, you're not getting the last of us just yet. This episode finally got three of the creators of this podcast in the same room to record for the first time, with DJ AkA and Joben joining Psikotyk for a conversation that wanders in content so much, it's truly a prime example of why we never chose to limit ourselves to any one theme or concept.Music on this episode is a sneak peek at new material coming from Joben, who will be releasing this track under his new name in the coming months!
Our return from the Fall Break marks the return of one of our founding members into the fold. Devin Hallett, formerly known as Joben to the musical world (and probably always will be to his friends), returns for Episode Eleven and another walk down the randomness that is the hallmark of this show. Psikotyk and Devin discuss music, of course, but also how the industry has changed with social media trends and dealing with Covid-19.Music:
Both tracks are by the artist formerly known as Joben
Tragedies in the music world hit home in very personal ways for every person involved with the creation of this podcast. We've decided to interrupt our schedule so Psikotyk can respond to some queries regarding his thoughts on what happened in Houston while it's fresh in his mind, and to reiterate that ALL incidents and disasters can have truly catastrophic rippling effects that last for years to come. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families in the wake of the Astroworld calamity, and we can only hope that we reflect on what can always be done to better maintain a sense of safety and peace in the future.Music:
Ekoh - "Beskar Lambo"
Fate Destroyed feat. Jason Alessi - "Signs"
We don't usually like doing solo episodes, but this one is a little different, and was logistically very necessary. Psikotyk talks about what Halloween means on a more personal level, and manages to give a bit of a SitRep in the process.Music:
Michael Jackson (James Egbert Remix} - "Thriller (Trap Mix)"
DJ Whiite - "This Is Halloween (Dubstep Remix)"
The second part of this episode, and if you listen it will become very clear why it couldn't just be cut off and the recording stopped: this episode got GRITTY. Discussing relationships, heartache, loss, and an overall sense of whether or not we're ever even destined to succeed. For the first time on record, Psikotyk gets choked up and legitimately fights back tears.
Josh's openness and raw emotions truly come through, and inspire a conversation that is sure to be relatable to anyone and everyone.Music:
Dakota - "Between You & Me"
I Built the Sky - "Up Into the Ether"
This is truly an impromptu episode. After a couple of reschedules, Psikotyk was begrudgingly accepting of the fact that there would be another solo episode coming when Josh Williams returned to town from working and saved the day. Josh is truly a Recassaince man, with career paths that range from being an engineer to a counselor and everything in between, and his views and stories could fill literal hours upon hours without ever repeating.Which is exactly what happened HERE, so we had to split the episode into two parts....Music:
Architects - "Death is Not Defeat"
I Built the Sky - "Mammatus"
A ridiculously difficult to schedule episode, Nox Nohi finally joins us. And by joins us, we mean we were in his bedroom. Without supervision. Shit got weird. Aliens, history, vaccines, politics, economy, music, and numerous anecdotal moments throughout the entire time on record, this episode is truly a prime example of why we never wanted to stick to any one type of subject matter, because we really wandered all over with this one. Music: Fox Lake - "Bite. Chew. Swallow." Jake Hill - "Dying Lately"
This is one of those FAR overdue episodes that should have been one of the first interviews we did. Zack and Psikotyk go back a decade or more, and this is honestly a fairly good example of what it's like to spend time with them. Add in Keith, who is in the top twenty funniest human beings on the planet, and Cody with his soft disarming demeanor, and you have the equal potential for comedy and pure philosophic catastrophe. Should be noted that this episode was recorded a month before it's release, so there are some dates and events discussed that might not make sense if you didn't recognize that. Music: "Of an Epic" - Cody Steffens "Memories & Moments" - Controlled Demise
There's nothing quite like having the privelege of recording these interviews, and this conversation with Tara Leary is definitely at the top of the list. A self-described disabled model and advocate, topics range from health and stigmae to metal music to the value of a loving support system. This one goes in the "Spreading Awareness" column, for those keeping score.
Music:
"Mediator" - Jinjer
"Erase" - Zeal & Ardor
