From ANDRAS JONES: This is the only trip to the Radio8Vault in this episode that wasn’t recorded at KAOS Community Radio in Olympia. This couple of sessions was recorded at Alternative Talk 1150 KKNW in Seattle (Bellevue, really) with a sex positive song duo from Vancouver named The Wet Spots (which was also a name for a local sex club and sex education center), and a question from Dr. Theresa Bullard in the first of many appearances on Radio8Ball. This was part of a sponsorship deal in which I got to attend a course she was teaching about Kabblalah for free, and she got to be a guest on one Radio8Ball show a month for the length of the course. Talk about a win/win (for me).

To accompany this supremely sacred/profane session, today’s randomly chosen Pop Oracle song is the sacredly profane Andy Shmushkin doing his song “Anya Marina”. Anya Marina (no quotes) appeared in (and sang backups on) Shmushkin’s revolutionary (and career killing) single and video “Christmas Cunnilingus”. She’s going to be the guest on an upcoming Radio8Ball show that we just recorded in New York City to promote her new web series; Anya Marina: Indie-Pendent Woman.

Back in 2007 Anya was the guest for one of our live shows at The Hayworth Theater. I remember at that show she said she thought it was a little weird that my “imaginary alter-ego” wrote a song about her and, while I had to insist that Shmushkin is nothing as she described, I also had to admit that, yes, it was a little bit weird. Still is I guess.
