Natasha Pickowicz is a pastry chef based in NYC, but before that she was a DIY promoter and enthusiast of the avant-garde music scene in Portland, Ithaca and Montreal. She joins me to talk about her appreciation of free jazz and noise music, along with our shared history at Montreal's convenience store/diner Dépanneur Le Pick Up, the death of the alt-weekly paper, her current project, and the connections between food, music and community.
