046 Joshua Starkman: Bringing the Social to Social Media

by tannerguss on July 5, 2021

Joshua Starkman – the “Have a Great Day” guitarist – and I talk about having a great day, humanings, insomnia, the reality of making music in a capitalist society, the role of music in our communities, managing our relationships with social media, desiring things you can’t have, confessions, therapy, how whack hyper-individuality is, and (because it’s Josh) poop, pee, sex, and drugs.

To me music is not first and foremost a profession. It’s a humaning. It’s something that humans do because we need to do it. We need to dance and move our bodies, we need to make sounds, we need to do these things together to feel connected, embodied, grounded, and sane.
