On this episode of The Lipstick Pickup Podcast, Emily gets the opportunity to talk to Dead Shaker Kevin Bloom about his Danelectro baritone guitar and the fine art of forming a "collective" and a collection.

"The Dead Shakers are an acid washed vegan rock band from Burlington, VT led by Kevin Bloom. Floating in form as a collective, the group appears in a variety of formats, from a traditional effectron-rock band, to an exploded view ambient potluck."

On this episode of The Lipstick Pickup Podcast, Robert returns from a month-long tour of duty at New Orleans Jazz Fest. There's a lot to catch up on and they also discuss future episodes and The Nat Turner Rebellion.

On this episode of The Lipstick Pickup Podcast, Emily takes a shot at "going pro" when she gets the chance to talk to renowned recording artist and musicologist Ben Vaughn. It's a solid hour-long chat where Mr. Vaughn knocks it out of the park with knowledge and experience about everything from working with Reggie Young to the legacy and influence of Philly Soul. It starts with a 14-minute intro with some explanation as to how Emily got so far out of her league but after that, it's in the hands of a real pro.
