On this episode of Sounds of PDX, we sit down with Rex Marshall — musician, writer, and the mind behind the long-running musical project Mattress — along with Michelle Kicherer, writer and founding editor of Banana Pitch Press.

The conversation dives into Rex’s new memoirella All the Work I Never Wanted, independent publishing, terrible jobs, underground creative culture, and the strange ways work experiences shape who we become. The episode also explores the connection between music, storytelling, and Portland’s DIY creative community.

Plus, Mattress shares some new music to close out the show.
