BASS HEAVY Episode 5 JKRIV's Inspirations and Influences

For Episode 82 of STARK REALITY PLAYLISTS, Host James Dier aka DJ $mall ¢hange re-rolls out the tattered red carpet for another exclusive mix from GEOFFREY WILSON aka DJ REVEREND ROBERT SINEWAVE. This time around, live & direct from New Orleans, Geoffrey goes deep into spirit jazz and avant vibes with some classics and deep cuts from folks like Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Albert Ayler, Horace Tapscott, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Joe Henderson, Marion Brown, etc etc - 2 1/2 hours of proper head soundz.

Having spent close to a decade working in the International House Hotel in New Orleans, Ocotillo in Phoenix, and Multnomah Whiskey Library in Portland, OR, Geoffrey has honed his skill and earned the honor of Best Bartender in Chicago in 2008 and Phoenix in 2014. In addition to this, he's made fancy cocktail ice in Portland, has an extensive record collection (duh) and now semi-retired in New Orleans, although he does keep busy consulting and working on various projects for folks. If you find yourself in the area, be sure to follow his Instagram @rev_robertsinewave and join in the fun. Ask him about his purple Chucks.

To hear the all new STARK REALITY Interview with Jim and Rev Robert, recorded November 3rd, 2025, go to Episode 81 of STARK REALITY, where they go deep into a number of things happening politically plus music and cocktail sidebars as to be expected.

Since our last conversation several years ago (hard to believe, time flies) which you can hear on Episode 10 of STARK REALITY with Host James Dier aka DJ $mall ¢hange, Geoffrey has escaped from White Wakanda (aka Portland) and moved to NOLA. 

Go to Episode 11 of STARK REALITY to hear Geoffrey's first exclusive playlist for us, when the conversation fell around 4/20 and inspired an all weed-flavored mix including deep funk, classic rock, soul, jazz, world, reggae and '80s and '90s hip-hop, along with a few surprises...

STARK REALITY Episode 81 Guest GEOFFREY WILSON aka REVEREND ROBERT SINEWAVE PART 2

For EYE ON THE EAST VILLAGE Episode 13, Co-Hosts Alex Carpenter & Maegan Hayward of the East Village Vintage Collective sit down with East Village-based painter, sculptor and art/design star SCOOTER LAFORGE.  Living and working in the neighborhood for over twenty years, LaForge's work is "inspired by the old masters, cute fluffy animals, and sometimes iconic cartoons," drawing from a number of pop culture and artistic references, ranging from Disney and Popeye to Keith Haring and Rembrandt, among others.  He is internationally regarded for his now-famous wearable designs, and has a line of clothing for Patricia Field.  Recorded live at Hi-Note on Avenue B, the conversation goes deep into Scooter's upbringing in New Mexico, how and why he landed in the East Village, his creative process in the studio, collaborating with a rich assortment of super talented artists, and much more - plus a lot of laughs!

In addition to his solo show at HOWL! Happening Gallery in New York, he was the subject of a 2024 mid-career retrospective at Leslie Art + Design in Boston, and his work is in the collections of many prestigious collections around the world, including the Friedrichshof in Vienna and Sweden's Spritmuseum’s Absolut Art Colleection among others.  Scooter has recently collaborated with Belgian designer Walter Van Beirendonck and Norwegian artist Bjarne Melgaard, and he was chosen to be a keynote speaker at Montreal’s Fashion & Design Festival.  He was commissioned to create garments for Madonna’s performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon as well as the Bitch I’m Madonna video off the Rebel Heart album.  Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna and Debbie Harry have all worn items from his wildly successful clothing line and he has collaborated directly with Debbie Harry on garments created just for her personal and stage use.  He was also commissioned to design a concert T-shirt for Blondie’s last tour.  And among many awards, he is a recent recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant.

The New York Times has described his work as "recalling the Neo-Expressionism that was popular in the '80s, the manic Neo-Surrealism of George Condo, and the comics-to-graffiti-to-canvas style of Kenny Scharf." Pop culture journalist and NYC nightlife legend Michael Musto has called him "my favorite living artist."

Find out how to watch and learn more about Ethan Minsker's documentary "Scooter LaForge: A Life Of Art," at www.ethanminsker.com (and support East Village artists!) You can also learn more about the making of the film in Eye On The East Village Episode 11 featuring Alex and Maegan's in-depth conversation with filmmaker/artist/bon vivant ETHAN MINSKER.

Scooter and NYC writer and artist JASON HAAF created the June 2025 Pride mural "Resist and Persist: A Lover's Story," located off the 2nd Avenue F Stop in Manhattan.  Their recent collaboration, the book "Wasteland," will be out soon.
