#268: George Clanton
George Clanton on Peptides, VORW Podcast, Flossing, and more.
Cool people like cool things, which is why we asked George Clanton to share a taste of his taste on Perfectly Imperfect.
George Clanton is a Los Angeles based musician and a co-founder of the 100% Electronica label. He cemented himself as a bonafide Vaporwave legend back in 2018 after dropping one of the best albums of the decade, “Slide”, and this year he put out an album with Nick Hexum, the singer of his favorite band (311). On New Years eve Perfectly Imperfect is co-hosting a special party at Bowery Ballroom with live performances from George, Frost Children, and Alice Longyu Gao, and a DJ set from The Dare. It’s going to be epic. Lucky for us, George is here to tell us what he’s been into.

💉 Peptides
You can inject stuff into your fat layer that is made in a lab but your body thinks it made it itself and it basically is like hacking your body.
Have you ever noticed that a famous athlete will tear an “ACL” or something similar that would put you out for six months but they are back in a matter of weeks. Well they are getting injected with BPC-157 and they heal 5x faster than normal. Suzanne Somers is 76 and her husband is ten years older but they have sex 3 times a day because they are injecting PT-141. Epitalon makes rats live 25% longer by lengthening their telomeres, which lets your cells replicate for longer or something. Basically if you inject it into your body you are supposed to live longer like a rat. There are like a million different peptides out there and none of it is regulated as long as they say “not for human consumption” on them. It’s probably the future of medicine and right now it’s the Wild Wild West, like before the government banned LSD.
I used to work in Manhattan as an “art handler” which means you move art around for people. One of my coworkers went on to become a successful fine artist. He mostly paints these things called “Night Car.” Its very very fun to look at. It’s fine art so basically you either understand it or you are a troglodyte. I can’t afford any of the paintings but he did make me a tiny cheeseburger as a gift one time which is just as good to me because it has a beautiful story.
🕴🎙 VORW podcast
It stands for Voice of the Report of the Week. That’s the guy from YouTube that reviews fast food in a suit. I’m not very interested in fast food but I find the individual behind the reviews interesting, relatable, and refreshing. So this is his podcast. The latest episode is over 4 hours long and consists of him talking to himself about various topics. I’ve become inspired by it and now I do my own talk-to-yourself style podcasts behind a paywall for my Fan Club.
🐈⬛🏠 Catio
I have a cat who is excellent. So excellent someone would grab him from the street if they saw him. Or he would get run over because he is too relaxed around hazards. I can not let him outside in Los Angeles. I was able to get a kind of chicken coop on Amazon that has been converted for cat use for only $200. It’s large enough for me to stand up in. There’s no way for a cat to get into it on its own but I recommend getting a piece of wood from Home Depot cut to the width of your window, and the height of a cat door. Then you can put a cat door where your window is, like an air conditioner would go, and put the catio on the other side. Now put the litter box in the catio, and you have an enviable cat situation that makes dogs suddenly seem completely unreasonable.
🦷 Floss
I can tell when someone doesn’t floss. Everyone should be flossing. It’s terribly important for intimacy and even basic friendships. These are the 5 things in life I am most excited about.
