Inspirations: Drums, Poetry, Life

It’s time for some inspiration for the new year. Here are three conversations that inspire me. Steve, a conservation biologist, and I talk about how he helps his students tell stories about ecology and he tells a story of how he came to collaborate/help start the Ghana Antelope Project. TLOVE and I talk about poetry, and she performs my favorite of her poems. And Rob Gould (@bobbbyg) answers 10 questions like nobody’s business.

Mya Achmatowicz Lounged with LannaLee and got a couch!

Mya Achmatowicz wants to never grow up. The night before the new year, Mya and Lanna sit down to chat about writing, books and movies. Mya gives her reasons for a career in writing and explains why she’s sticking with the traditional publishing route. And she answers 10 questions.

Mya Achmatowicz

Mya is an author of young adult fantasy, the darker and twistier the better. She grew up in the wilds of Michigan and Maine, which is probably why even her love stories are full of blood. Her chief vices are coffee, books, and The Vampire Diaries, with a side of Gossip Girl.

LLL040 Wicked Pretty Comedy Wars: Holiday Edition

It’s time for a very special Holiday edition of Lounging with LannaLee! Plus it features some of my favorite comics.

If you are like me, you could use a laugh today. I figured I’d check out the archives to cull out some favorite conversations I’ve had with my comedian friends, Jim Lauletta, George Hamm, Bob Marley and Rachel Flehinger, and share them here with you.

In this episode, Jim tells me how he really felt about The Phantom Menace and Jar Jar Binks; George and I reminisce about a raucous trip to the Boston Combat Zone; Bob regales me with his death wish; and Rachel answers 10 questions like a boss.

LLL039 The Mallett Brothers: Road Warriors

Luke and Will Lounged with LannaLee and got couches!

Luke and Will Lounged with LannaLee and got couches!

In a sketchy band practice room, Luke, Will and Lanna talk about growing up in Piscataquis County, high school politics, and the creative life. Will gets all existential. Luke chooses not to be miserable. Will and Luke extol the virtues of touring and hanging with Six Guys in a van. And they answer 10 questions.

Luke Mallett

One of two members of MBB that’s a son of famed folk singer David Mallett, Luke began playing music as soon as he could walk. In the Mallett house, with instruments perpetually slumbering on various pieces of furniture like cats, it was easy enough. Early forays on the piano and bass guitar placed him in a number of hardcore bands in high school before he eventually joined Lab Seven, long regarded as one of the premier hip hop acts in Portland, Maine; and, finally, Boombazi, where he joined Leen and Soule in the mid-2000’s. A lyrical firehose, Luke’s hip hop background is credited by some as the source of his distinctive vocal and lyrical style that makes him one of the favorite vocalists (of any genre) in the Portland, Maine music scene.

Will Mallett

Will Mallett, Cosmopolitan Magazine’s “Maine’s Hottest Bachelor” of 2011, is one of MBB’s primary songwriters, contributing musically on acoustic and electric guitars, banjo, and lead and backup vocals. He co-founded the Mallett Brothers Band along with Luke and Nick in 2009. He enjoys swimming in rivers and long rides in vans.

She writes and speaks about small town business, and she and Chicago entrepreneur Barry Moltz are the authors of the book Small Town Rules.

She has been featured in The New York Times, BusinessWeek, and Entrepreneur Magazine. Her blog, Small Biz Survival, ranks in the top 20 small business blogs worldwide. Along with Sheila Scarborough, she co-founded Tourism Currents to teach tourism professionals about social media marketing. All of this from her home base in Hopeton, Oklahoma, a community of 30 people.

LLL035 Kansas and Beyond: Experiment with Five Questions

Here is a special episode of Lounging with LannaLee with three shorter interviews in it! Each person was asked the same five questions, but as you can hear, the answers run the gamut; from silly to serious.

The first two interviews are from Kansasians Jack Mace and James “Jiggy Jaguar” Lowe. I met them when I traveled on the road to the SmallTown2012 conference last week, and they were kind enough to chat with me for a moment. The third interview is from a video I shot with John Hill Rogers (converted to audio-only for your lisenting pleasure).

I love doing these shorter interviews, and I’ll keep doing them. Some of them will be available to everyone, others only for premium subscribers.
