Conversations With Dwyer

Musician and artist Nicholas Galanin joins Dwyer to talk about land acknowledgment, leaving Alaska to live in London as a young man, and his pursuit of music. Openings Song, "Knives," by Ya Tseen from the album Indian YardNicholas's website HERE Landback GOFundMe HERERead more about Landback: All funds raised will go towards repatriating land back to Indigenous communities and to support the LandBack movement, to continue the acquisition of land titles for Indigenous nations to have legal standing under U.S.law to protect traditional territories. The LandBack movement is a regenerative, sustainable effort to center Indigenous knowledge and repair damages done to land and all people living here. The impacts of invasion, colonization, settlement and forced assimilation continue to have multi-generational impact upon us all. These impacts are varied, they are experienced differently and disproportionately, evident on the land and water, the changing climate and ecosystems. Reparations for what has been forcibly taken from Indigenous Nations must be grounded in ceding land; to end occupation and begin coexistence, with Indigenous leadership, to return to healthy and regenerative relationship with land.Buy Ya Tseen HERE Conversations With Dwyer is Recorded, Produced,& Hosted by Matt DwyerAll Things Dwyer HERE

In the Red Records was founded by Larry Hardy Thirty years ago. He's been the sole owner and operator the entire time putting out records by such notable acts as Jon Spencer, Ty Segall, Kid Congo, Alice Bag, Jay Reatard, King Khan and one of my all-time personal favorites The Strange Boy. For the record the list of artists Larry has put out is too long for these show notes. Larry joins me in a conversation about his early days as a Punk fan seeing such bands as The Germs, to getting the itch to start a label and releasing his first single with The Gories to how he grew the In The Red to be the well respected Punk label that it is today. Larry also shares a great story about a week long Party King Khan threw in his LA home while he was away on vacation.
