Joe Berardi and Auralynn Nguyen on Tosh Talks

Joe Berardi is an amazing figure in the Los Angeles landscape and elsewhere. A drummer who is a composer as well as arranger and sound maker. His interests go from Keith Moon to circuit bending. He's in two bands non-credo and Double Naught Spy Car. He has worked with Stan Ridgway of Wall of Voodoo fame. If you have an interest in a mixture of Ginger Baker and Ennio Morricone, you will like Joe's music. Auralynn Nguyen is our friend, and she's always an added adventure to the mix. Besides that, we all love Jean-Luc Godard/Anna Karina. Tosh Berman, your host for Tosh Talks

Auralynn Nguyen Ikebana Artist on Tosh Talks

Once in a while I want to go into a world I know nothing about. I met Auralynn Nguyen a few years ago, and she does incredible sculptures with living plants called Ikebana. Like anything else from Japan or Asian culture, it has a fascinating history as well as a strong presence in contemporary times. Auralynn here shows her work but also explains Ikebana as an art form as well as a traditional craft and art. Also excuse the sound quality of yours truly. A faulty mic, but you can hear what I'm saying. - Tosh Berman.
