The Guest List
Thursday February 9th, 2023 with Joe Reilly
We talk to Lydia Lunch, Beau Dixon about "Freedom! The Spirit and Legacy of Black Music and Camille Poliquin of Milk & Bone

We open the show today with the legendary Lydia Lunch. Lydia has been an artistic force to contend with since she emerged in the mid-1970s as part of the New York No Wave scene. She has created music, poetry, prose, photography, documentary films and visual art installations - amongst other things - as part of her campaign to alter our way of thinking about the world around us. She feels she is a documentarian and she is outspoken against misogyny, sexism, militarism and the fact that a bunch of old, rich white men are destroying the world. You can hear Lydia playing music from across her entire career as part of her Retrovirus tour at Club SAW on Friday night (Feb. 10.) This is a truly engaging, fun and thought-provoking interview with an icon of alternative music. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydia_Lunch https://www.lydia-lunch.net https://www.debaser.ca/event/lydia-lunch-retrovirus Check out Lydia's podcast here: https://lydianspin.libsyn.com Beau Dixon is next up on the Guest List today.
