His Art Swap project was a half-hour long podcast about the experience, the Best-Worst Day of his life, assembled from journal entries and on-the-road video diaries, and featuring music from Metric, Daft Punk, Architcture in Helsinki, Band of Horses, Imagine Dragons, Rihanna, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and lots more. In the spirit of Jack Kerouac, sometimes being on the road gives us the perspective we need to figure out what really matters, and Stasell's trip is no exception.
Plus, there's a hot tub.
Listen to Stasell's road trip podcast here, via streaming or download.
Stasell is also the man with half a plan behind Easily Distracted, a biweekly/monthly/every so often podcast where he and three friends (including fellow Art Swapper Jon Trainor) discuss news, roller coasters, and horror movies, but mostly just make a lot of jokes. In true Easily Distracted spirit, here's some out of context quotes from the show:
On a scale of one to ten, how naughty were the nurses?
Stasell's definition of being smart is catching herpes.
I always heard that summer camp was a good time for first kisses. I heard that after I went to camp, though.
So, I had given this stripper a lapdance earlier in the night....
Oh, you like water? Here's some fire.
Trainor: It's different though, because white people don't have a history of lynching.Check out Easily Distracted here, or follow them on Twitter at @distractedeasy. You won't regret it.
Stasell: ...I think you mean a history of being lynched.
Every Monday for the rest of the year I’ll be highlighting a different project from Art Swap 2013. Interested in sharing something of yours next year? Post in the comments section, or e-mail ianmrogers[at]hotmail[dot]com.
