Another banger week done! Another banger month done! RIP FEBRUARY ‘24, WE LOVED YOU SO!
Hercules did his first SETS of pull-ups this week, maxing out 15 reps yesterday. Meanwhile, Pappadon wrote 6 songs, streamed every day, executed some excellent podcast interviews, and got something very special ready that will be revealed on the celebrated PARTY STREAM tonight from 8ET. SEE YOU THERE!
Meanwhile! It’s BANDCAMP FRIDAY, so if you wanted to grab an album or 12, today would be a good day, since Bandcamp waives their cut and all the money goes to Meaningwave. GET AFTER IT!
PODCASTS:
Akira the Don: DJ, Producer, Genre Innovator
I joined Lawtube superstar Eric Hunley for an interview on his new channel, Podstreaming.

This exclusive interview dives deep into his creative process, inspirations, and the unique challenges he faced while forging a new path in the music industry. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to his work, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a visionary artist who's redefining the landscape of music.”
THE IRELAND PODCAST: Akira The Don: St. David's Day Special
For St David’s Day, the fine people at THE IRELAND PODCAST hit me up, since I grew up in Wales, after all.
The host is an old friend of mine that I hadn’t seen in 20 years, so the conversation went deep and includes:
“Akira’s early life in Wales; forced redemption; castles and booze; Y2K era - the turning of the millennium; The Krays; working in an abattoir; Hunter S. Thompson; breaking into music journalism; getting into trouble and then writing about it; Lemmy christening Akira; moving to LA and getting a record deal with Interscope Records; The Strokes; rapping in Miami; meeting Jimmy Iovine and Madonna’s lawyer; guerrilla graffiti marketing; editing 50 Cent’s movie; not meeting Will.I.Am; Dadrock; working outward; heaven vs. hell; kicking alcohol; adventures; the meaning of life; getting fit; artists vs. gym-going; carrying your own weight… AND MORE!”
We shall now hand over to Jayson Eva for a breakdown of this week’s streams…
