I know I say this about every guest (because I am honored and blown away by the guests in each episode), but we're lucky I consensually cornered my old friend for this episode of Napalm and Friends, Anthony Huesca.

One mans trash is another mans cult film. We love all things trashy here at The Shack and we adore the Pope of Filth, John Waters. There is so much to the man's life and inspiration for his work, this episode is just a glimpse at his fascination with larger than life hair (which, we're now debating on creating a mini series dedicated to him).

Dumb title requirements, grinds my gears, what if I care for minimalistic/simplicity!? Much like how cars can be reduced to two wheels and stripped of safety, thus creating the motorcycle (and the insane riders atop them who chase adrenaline on the road), here's this weeks episode on early pioneers of the two wheeled beasts. The lover of Indian motorcycle Pancho Villa who used them in battle and the legendary African American rider Bessie Stringfield who rode cross country despite Jim Crow. Not enough for ya? (it never is) there's a pretty sweet playlist to go along with it.

It's easy to romanticize mental illness, but it is incredibly dangerous in doing so. From Syd Barrett from Pink Floyd to the average human bean walking down the street, when someone is trapped in their own personal hell, help should be accessible. So for this weeks episode, enjoy the playlist and trivia on artists who have been diagnosed with (or assumed to have) Schizophrenia and other disorders. I hope this brings forth conversations of the artists mental state and the art.

*This weeks playlist is a collection of artists who have had their own personal battles with mental disorders*

Whether you and your lover are miles apart or suffer a colder distance due to being emotionally unavailable, there is a remedy. Music/art can cure what ails a relationship.

This weeks Napalm and Friends episode is with the incredible Mark DeAnda (AKA Mark Muerto). A creative who has served this country all the while maintaining a strong foothold in punk ideology. When he is not setting sail with heavy artillery he uses his voice that sounds like a haunted phonograph playing the soundtrack of gravel and rain (I mean this in the best hauntingly mesmerizing way) along with his lighting fast fingers plucking his trusty guitar. A member of the San Diego rockabilly and punk band, Los Muertos (find their album over on Apple, Spotify, and on major music platforms) and an adventurer at his very core, tag along his misadventures on his personal instagram or read on his meditations on the military and punk.
