Episode 22 - Joel Cherry Tree // Artist.

“Joel Cherry Tree - what a name, right? I was first introduced to Joel by our mutual friend Karina on a music video set I was directing last year. Joel came out to support the video, and I think that’s a huge part of what he’s all about. He supports musicians he loves by being a band and tour manager, he supports brands like Honey TV with his unique illustration and graphic art style, and he supports all of his fans and friends in the scene with the music he offers us all—which really just touches on some of the most intimate and beautiful parts of being human. To me, Joel’s a really solid dude, and I was hyped to chop it up with him here in the studio. I think you’re gonna dig this conversation.

Also, I’m really excited to announce that at the end of the pod we have an exclusive early release from his upcoming album, a song by the name of “Your Floor” - it’s such a beautiful song and I’m so hyped Joel is sharing this with all of us BEDROOM BOOS™! We love you Joel!

In this episode of BEDROOM™, Joel talks about being a band and tour manager and how his deep involvement in music has opened up many doors for him in his creative life. He shares his thoughts on painting and how his daily routine has helped fuel his creative output. From there, we dive in early, with a listener-submitted question from BEDROOM™ Alumni Jesse Nyberg, the Los Angeles-based graphic designer. Joel talks about how his visual art style has evolved and then deep dives into why he loves drawing on a laptop trackpad. We discuss his upcoming album, JESUS, and Joel shares some behind-the-scenes details on his songwriting and music-making process. He also talks about collaborating with my dear friend, musician Mae Powell, who is featured on the upcoming album. Additionally, Joel shares insights into his involvement with Honey TV and Mom Jeans.

Finally, after all that, we wrap up with a round of BEDROOM BANTER™, where I rapid-fire some classic BEDROOM™ questions, and Joel gives the fans what they want. Big shout-out to Joel for coming onto the pod. Welcome to the BEDROOM™, y’all! WORLDWIDE PEACE!” - PSG

Episode 21 - Jeremy McNamara // Director. DP.

“The filmmaking scene in the Bay Area is small, but that’s sort of the beauty of it—everyone is kind of like family. But within that community, there’s an even smaller scene of us who grew up skateboarding. The few of us in the Bay film scene who were obsessively serious about skateboarding all found our love of filmmaking through the avenue of making skate videos of our local crews. It’s a unique tradition within the subculture of skating, and if you lived, bled, and breathed that culture in your youth, I can guarantee that when you talk to someone who grew up doing the same shit you did, it’s like finding someone who can speak the same weird language on an alien planet.

That’s where I bring in this episode’s guest, Jeremy McNamara. Originally, Jeremy and I just became friends on Instagram, but upon hanging out, it was clear to me that we speak that same alien language. I’m a huge fan of his work—he’s absolutely incredible at what he does—and he has the urge to become even better, like obsessively better, and that’s what fascinates me about him. That sort of inner drive he has is relatable, and it’s fun to listen to it come from someone else’s brain other than my own inner dialogue. I sit here just realizing how much the culture of skateboarding has given all of us, and for Jeremy, it’s given him a lot.

In this episode of BEDROOM™, Jeremy talks about growing up skateboarding in the Bay Area and how, through the lens of skateboarding, he got into the world of filmmaking. We touch on the unspoken connectivity that skateboarders hold for each other worldwide and discuss the life lessons it teaches you when you’re out in the streets getting clips. He then shares how he got his first big break working for the famed DLXSF Distribution, filming for their in-house brands like Spitfire, Real, and Thunder, and getting to meet and work with some of his idols, like John Cardiel and Guy Mariano. We talk about his film “The Skatepark on Treasure Island”, which chronicles the story of an illegally constructed skatepark on San Francisco's Treasure Island. From there, he shares how, at the ripe age of 25, he decided to grow past skateboarding and challenge himself in new lanes of filmmaking, pivoting into the world of commercial and documentary filmmaking. We discuss his short doc “Carl” and dive into the collaborative films he’s made on San Francisco-based artist Jeremy Fish, documenting Fish’s unique art residency with the San Francisco Giants. Jeremy then talks about the commercial work he’s done and how that differs from the DIY filmmaking of his youth. From there, we dive into some listener-submitted questions from BEDROOM™ friends—the film coloring god Sean Wells of Roast n’ Post and BEDROOM™ alumni, directing god Mike Jacobs of Strike Anywhere Productions. Finally, after all that, we wrap up with a round of BEDROOM BANTER™, where I rapid-fire some classic BEDROOM™ questions, and Jeremy gives the fans what they want. Big shout-out to Jeremy for coming onto the pod. Welcome to the BEDROOM™, y’all! WORLDWIDE PEACE!” - PSG

Episode 20 - Salami Rose Joe Louis // Musician. Producer.

“Join me as we take another trip down south for the second episode in a row, from the Bay to LA, to chop it up with my new homie, Lindsay Olsen, aka Salami Rose Joe Louis. She’s a genre-traveling multi-instrumentalist, musician, and producer. She’s dropped a whole magical crate full of amazing music, insanely colorful remixes, and has somehow crafted an incredibly unique sound. A recent favorite of mine is her spectacular live performance video on the Live on KEXP series. I’ve known about Lindsay’s musical project for some years now, recognizing how much of a pillar she was in the Bay Area underground scene, and thanks to my friend and BEDROOM™ alumni, Sarah Simka Jaffe, I was finally able to get her on the pod.

In this episode of BEDROOM™, Lindsay talks about her love for the Bay and how the Bay Area helped sculpt her musical project. We then discuss how financially difficult it is to be a full-time musician/artist—the amount of transparency on this topic alone is worth a listen. As we continue through the pod, Frodo Baggins may or may not make an appearance, and we talk about the Light Phone—by the way, holler at me, Light Phone, for the freaking sponsorship!! We dive into her future musical and personal plans. Lindsay spits mad game about the DAW she uses for recording music, and we even talk about her remixes for Pearl & The Oysters and don’t forget to mention the collaborative track she did with Toro y Moi. Dikembe Mutombo gets his flowers, and we shoot into space with a discussion on science fiction. My robot makes some silly—and educational—remarks, and from there, we dive into some listener-submitted questions from BEDROOM™ friends and musicians Garrett Barley and Mae Powell. Finally, after all that, we wrap up with a round of BEDROOM BANTER™, where I rapid-fire some classic BEDROOM™ questions, and Lindsay gives the fans what they want. Big shout-outs to Lindsay, aka Salami Rose Joe Louis, for coming onto the pod. Welcome to the BEDROOM™, y’all! WORLDWIDE PEACE!” – PSG
