Episode 18 - Tanukichan // Musician. Woodworker.

“It’s Tanukichan season, y’all! For those who don’t know, Tanukichan is the solo project of classically trained Bay Area native Hannah van Loon. This is an episode I’m really hyped about because, well, to put it simply, I’m a huge fan of Hannah’s music. Her 2023 LP “Gizmo” and her latest drop, the 2024 EP “Circles”, are on heavy rotation for me. The combination of Hannah’s voice, the instrumentation and musicality of her compositions, and the distortion is just a freaking chef’s kiss to my ears. Hannah has opened for bands like Alvvays, Alex G, and Melanie Martinez, and a couple of months back, I saw her headline a show at The Independent with another band I love, Glixen. Hannah and I were introduced by a mutual friend last year, and we sparked up our friendship through collaboration. I designed some posters and edited some social media promos for her Circles tour. It’s always so fun and cute to make a new friend, and as much fun as we had on the pod, off the pod was even more of a blast. All in all, she’s a really fun and cool person with an extreme amount of talent. Yay, Hannah!

In this episode of BEDROOM™, Hannah talks about the origin of forming Tanukichan, signing with Company Records, and how her collaborations with Chaz Bear of Toro y Moi helped shape her distinctive sound. She dishes some behind-the-scenes scoop on her songwriting process and how she goes about making music and finding inspiration. We also dive into a more unexpected topic: her other big love, woodworking. She shares the scoop on which company makes the best power tools—totally huge BEDROOM™ exclusive, by the way—and talks about the similarities between music making and woodworking. We then tackle some fears and talk about stage fright and what it’s like to play a show in front of 10,000 fans. From there, we dive into some epic listener-submitted questions from BEDROOM™ friends like Tyler McPherron, Tori Leonhardt, Alex Shen, and Samantha Sartor. And alas, after all of that, we end with a round of BEDROOM BANTER™, where I rapid-fire some classic BEDROOM™ questions, and Hannah gives the fans what they want. Big shout-outs to Hannah for coming onto the pod. Welcome to the BEDROOM™, y’all! WORLD WIDE PEACE!” – PSG

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
