101 Part Time Jobs with Giles Bidder
The official KZread channel of 101 Part Time Jobs with Giles Bidder
The podcast sees Giles Bidder (the i, Soho Radio) host engaging conversations with diverse musicians, exploring the taboo topic of how musical artists make a living. The often surprising jobs they’ve had is a prism through which to explore the grit and perseverance it can take for our favourite musicians to ensure that the show can go on, in the face of an increasingly difficult industry to make a career in.
The British music industry contributed £4 Billion into the UK economy in 2022. However, there are only 6,000 working musicians in the UK; and nearly half earn less than £14,000 a year. In this podcast celebrating DIY and grassroots culture, Bidder asks headlining and emerging artists the questions that nobody else is asking, creating a space where musicians can be vulnerable.
Over 300 guests have appeared on the podcast, including IDLES, Self Esteem, Big Thief, Kurt Vile and many more.

Aurora is so beautiful I fall in love more and more every day
Well. She has a good sense of humor, but this time she didn't get the master joker award. The other names are good except the last one.
Puss cat
Aurora is so mentally healthy. It's honesty beautiful to hear her speak because I'd love to be in that place of mind. She's really bringing tears to my eyes, noticing how much we are showing pain to eachother, making a society of pain, rather than focusing on a deep level of love beyond what makes us treat eachother so poorly. Imagining how we can embrace love for eachother in the world and how it could bring peace, environment, and meaning like we were built to experience as a species.
In the 1980s the cocaine culture in the USA meant it was everywhere. All the waiters I worked with at the time were taking it. the US multinationals flooding into Ireland, with their overpaid US workers, have brought the coke culture with them. Bending over and lavishing Google, Apple, Facebook etc etc with massive tax breaks, has fucked Ireland. The only ones who benefit in the end are Google et al.
Woo!
Wow, she continues to be just the most wise, halarious, humble and honest artist Ive ever seen interviewed !! Thank you Aurora, you give ME hope. Cant wait to see her live someday. Yours sincerly Fart Girl
Think Aurora and I will meet?
I do mistakes all the time, who cares ❤❤❤ But I'm sorry to hear people take things out of context and twist things sometimes.. I hope she stays free and spontaneous through her life and doesnt burn out I think sometimes people are so intimidated her freedom and authenticity and incredible brightness, but that's a them issue not a her issue. Like the interviewer says here, we dont do that here, we're professionals ❤
that‘s truly the best interview of her! you can tell she felt so at piece with the interviewer, they joked around so much🥰
"There are no pants in heaven, that's why it's heaven." 😇🙏🚫👖
Her and I come from the same soul pod, I'm pretty sure. There is so much she says that I entirely relate to or understand, on a deep level and an artistic level, but also in whimsy and silliness. I love her fans, too. All of you who are here, who love what she brings, who feel everything with your whole heart: you are my people and I absolutely adore you! 😍🥰😘❤️✨
Cxxx 💚💐🌹 hedgmoon witch fairy 🇬🇧🤗🧡 😎🤪😜😝🤭🥰😎🙈🙉🙊👽👾 🌛🌚🌜
Okay...beautiful, intelligent and stimulating BUT...something is different. Seems tired or something; I'm not going to pretend I know what's up, but I'm holding her in the Light.
Neil can do a very good hardman English accent! 😂
Aw, she's just such a beautiful soul. Her skirt is so gorgeous 💧🌱🥰🍀⭐️🌫✨️🪬♥️🎶🫧
"We believe our hands are empty but they are so full"
I believe we can save the world together - yes we really can help each other and love each other and just live our then so much more beautiful lifes.
This touched my heart so deeply. I feel such resonance with this creature/artist/empath. I ask myself similar questions. I am too heartbroken from the state of things. We can only create what we can imagine so we have to get inspired and be creative to create a better world for us all to enjoy and live in whole heartedly! Aurora gives me hope because I’m not alone in this human conundrum ❤️
I've seen a quite amount of interviews with her and this one sounded strange, even for her standards lol. She seemed uneasy and bored and I couldn't avoid the feeling that the interviewer was partly responsable for that...😕
I think she is just tired
There is no "after Covid" and Covid is still killing over 1000 people per week. It killed more people in 2023 than car accidents and the flu did. We saw the second largest Covid infection rate in Feb 2024 since the beginning in 2020. The pandemic never ended. People are still dying, but the younger folks don't give a crap about other people dying. People are too selfish. Like Aurora just said, if it isn't happening to them, they don't care. Well Covid's still killing and I don't see anyone giving a fat shit about all that death and suffering and disability it's causing. All those souls lost, and no one cares.
20:10 I like what she said her, she is right. for me it seems like the world is in constant change but minimizing changes. I like to think a lot about the nature of things, even the artificial ones and how we put decisions in our creations. for example when brands minimize their design to look more appealing, and with time they minimize and minimize until they reach a symbol you can distinguish but just because you know their past revolutions. We do distinguish the world, but we know it has changed a lot .. to worse or better? we do not know. but this world is minimizing, we are all are getting closer to each other, we can use a universal language and joke about memes that we all from different countries and different cultures can understand and find funny. such an impressive world if you think about, it's beautiful everything is put out there just for you to think about and know life and nothing else, but it is really painful when you can't distinguish what's natural and what's not, after all nature is not our creation, even our hearts are not our creation... I don't know where i'm going with this hahaa but i can understand her points very well
I had to drop a subscription to another reactor who only watched two of the Sixsters videos 1st time she kind of indirectly dissed them as being amateurish I thought ok, maybe things weren’t hitting her well that day, so I passed on it as a one off Second time she reacted to ‘em they were doing a much harder rock song Not far in she pretty much accused the singer of not being very good My jaw dropped 😮 I knew right then I had to drop her Good to see someone who can see all the nuances this band puts into their music, along with a refreshing raw talent anyone paying attention can’t miss Happy to join your channel 👍🤘
That was delightful! Enjoyed this very much and could have listened to another hour of this with ease! Thank you!
11 views in a month... 😢 ❤ Apparently bashing things and acting the fool seems to pay better these days. 🎶🎵🎸Cheers from L.A.
Peace Girl 💕🫀
Indeed, I also still have hope
I’m neurodivergent too but my adhd cancels out the autism in the sense of routines lol
same!
I know why Aurora is here on the earth. She's our messenger, and everyone should listen. I love this new album because the main theme and also other attached themes, have been lessons in my life that have taken me an average of 28 years to complete. Mainly to trust my heart, not solely logical facts. I love using my head and my mind, but I don't feel motivated if I can't put my heart in it. To let go of petty things like beauty or what other people think, trust my gut, and see the little things in life and appreciate them deeply. Appreciate what you got and to not mirror yourself to others. To feel empowered by your own being. I'm gonna stop now

♥️🥹♥️ this make me feel less alone
Wearing a helmet and climb high up in a tree and jump" Now the helmet is using you for protection.
Crazy good run of interviews with my musical idols - looks like I found the right channel
🥰🥰🥰🥰
I have been reflecting on Aurora's point about inspiring change through the heart instead of the mind. As a student of science and a musician, this resonates. Thank you, Aurora.
Gooddammit i wish i could wear her outfits everyday. Mix of fairycore, cottagecore and medieval stuff. Its amazing
You totally can! (Unless you have to be business professional at work) but when you’re not at work you definitely can! ☺️✨
@@caitlinwhatthefrick2361 I know haha but I don't even know where to get all those body chains and tassel belts, especially second hand
@@phoebeelFacebook market! Depop! eBay. Thrift shops. Maybe you won’t have the wardrobe you want right away, but you’ll have built it yourself, curated your style and be so pleased with it as a result ❤ that’s what I’m doing right now
great interview. Lauren's perspective on herself and the music industry is actually refreshing 🤙
She said she had a lover who passed away? Aw I'm so sorry for the lost Aurora 😢
I am not 100% sure, but it may be her first sweetheart. The one who was killed in the Utøya massacre.
Aurora 0.1 4 uuu
Wonderful, Thank You, Aurora. Love from Wisconsin. See you in Wash DC
Say hi to Wisconsin for me. I miss it. I grew up there. ❤️
Fame seems hard. It seems tough to always being recognized, always having the thought that someone may be looking at you. I admire Aurora’s artistic expression, and can empathize with how hard this career may be.
🤘Warrior for Life 🤘
This is my new favorite Aurora interview, thank you !
“I f*ckin love bread” 🤣 same Aurora, same.
"Has it change the way you make music?" "No... no... it has... nothing"
Lately, she mentioned several times her being neurodivergent. Anyway, I just love her train of thoughts 🧡😻
Neurodivergent is the new adhd. Just say autistic
Where does she mention that?
E.g. in this great interview 6:03🧡
I love it too! I’m autistic and adhd and I love it!
I meant where else (I only ever heard her say that here) I have ADHD and probably also autism and she made me sooo much more confident and accepting of the fact that I'm different and of my stims
I wish good people like Aurora could connect with the little luxuries like hot, melting butter and how the industries that make these products are helping to destroy the natural world she loves so much. The industries that harm animals and nature for profit. We can change if we are informed.
Change is only good if you're 100% certain it leads into Utopia. Another thing is that if you're 100% certain about something you often times end up being wrong. No rushed actions lead to positive change ever. Instead it's all about understanding oneself fully (which implies healing oneself as well), so the micro level, then same thing for the macro level. Only then the whole picture gets higher resolution and the things you try to change in the world actually change it for the better, over the long term, for everyone, which is what truly matters.
I meant this moreso for the more subtle aspects of change and how that translates to both the long term and the macro level. But for things which are painfully obvious (there is clarity that something like say, genocide or extremist far right governments, is fully wrong and simply does not belong in this day and age), spreading awareness isn't actual change, it's more like jerking off in an echo chamber while whoever runs the show up top (due to greed, addiction to power, psychopathy etc.) keeps doing whatever they are doing because they really don't care about what people think anyway.
Another common phenomenon is that people, especially far x,y or z extremists, are sometimes incapable of introspection. That plus the brain's tendency to have an ego equals activism which stems from a wounded place and is incorrect, in time it just destabilizes and deteriorates society instead of building it up or improving it. This has very little to do with Aurora as she's very much an outlier when it comes to spreading positive messages to a wider audience which results in a net sum positive. ...If I had a cup of coffee for every cup of coffee rant, I'd have a perpetuum mobile coffee machine, lol....
@@clodieclod I would ask anyone who wants to live in a kinder, fairer and more equal world to investigate how these industries operate and to observe, as objectively as they can, the levels of discrimination that lead to abject cruelty many good people pay for every day without realising it. I'm not criticising her in any way, but I do see her as a good soul who would be mortified if she really knew what she was paying for, as would many good hearted people in the world.
Will we ever stop pointing fingers at everything we can possibly think of!
love her so much the album is so so meaningful and so close to my heart and covers so much i love her so much for making art that makes people feel belonged i love echo of my shadow, the essence, invisible wounds, dreams and earthly delights so so much and also the upbeat ones the whole album to be honest since day one her music has been top tier shes one of the greatest artists to ever exist on this very broken planet 🫀💙🫀
Nature needs more parking lots says animal nature investigation reports.
I’m a guy working in a male dominated field for a decade now. Even I can appreciate the desire to just not be surrounded by almost only men. I’m glad she’s able to do this!
