Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by the excellent and truly unique actor DAVID DASTMALCHIAN!

The perfect guest for this episode 🤘 as the Iron Maiden classic spins in the background... David is a fantastic presence who has awesome stories but it's not just that, it's the whole vibe. Some might say "essence", if they're feeling snooty. But whatever the weather - always a good hang. There is a HUGE amount of covered ground here as you'd hope, including a hot off the press movie recommendation, some Cyndi Lauper business up top, music recommendations, loving LA as a vampire (complete with black umbrella), early Chicago days artistry, craft, process, gratitude and reckoning with past addictions having been in recovery for almost 2 decades. And, as Pip hints, tales for days. Really great stuff, proper Distraction Pieces goodness or - if you will - Dastmalchian Pieces, as it shall be known for this episode. Thank you.

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Georgina Campbell, originally episode 90 from 2016-03-23.

Original writeup below:

(welcome) WELCOME w-e-l-c-o-m-e (trying to match Pip's impulse to change that cadence at the start) to your 90th episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast, featuring the wonderful and crazy skilled Georgina Campbell! A bright and breezy chat to match the time of year, with a super nice back and forth between Georgina and Pip covering all the good stuff, from her being talent-scouted in the street, to her earlier roles and influences, her awards win for 'Murdered By My Boyfriend', and the back catalogue of goodness as well as the - forward? - catalogue of greatness down the road... Such a nice, uplifting and inspiring chat from one of the UK's finest. Georgina Campbell is your new best friend!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week we have a rare throwback recording to 2011 (pre-Distraction Pieces Podcast) with Pip, Kae Tempest, Musa Okwonga and Polarbear!

The Mount Rushmore of spoken word right here folks, captured in a recording Pip uncovered while late-night trawling through the vaults by candlelight. This was originally recorded on camera but there was also a mic in the middle of the room - though as you will hear, it's a bit of a recording sandwich with the slightly more decent recording forming the bread and the slightly more raw camera audio forming the filling. Follow? Nice. It's a really cool chat, incredibly freeform and without defined topics and certainly not recorded with the shape and craft you might expect of late-era Distraction Pieces. But think of it as the 'Distraction Pieces Basement Tapes' - a lively chat of varying audio quality which functions nicely as a time capsule. It's also uncanny hearing about predictions for the following decade - eerie how much has been manifested since... The audio has been cleaned up a touch but sometimes with this kind of sound, things can get worse the more you try and scoop out of it, so just allow your ears to get familiar with it and you'll be grand. Enjoy - it's like sitting at the table where it happened!
