My name is….
Sadie Dupuis a.k.a. Sad13
I live in…
A constant state of needing to pet the dog, West Philadelphia, PA.
I get high from …
Overloading every meal with spicy components.
The concept behind this playlist is…
"Slow & mid tempo finishes the race." On short runs, anything goes, but if I'm out for an hour or more, I like to keep the bpm cozy-ish. Pop, rock, rap, lots of drums I can air-bash along to while I'm like, "I'm at mile 13 and very hungry, why did I pick up this hobby?"
My workout routine consists of …
Stretching, running, stretching. It's not glamorous, but it gets the job done on tour. (RIP tour.)
My favorite place to run …
Depends, so I'll cheat and name a couple. My criteria are basically: "will I see something nice, bonus points for horses, can I go for a while without hitting a stoplight, are there numerous public bathrooms because unfortunately I need them constantly." Close to home, gotta hand it to the Schuylkill trail loop—ideally on weekdays, when it's not mobbed by strollers (no offense to babies). If I feel like driving a bit, the Perkiomen Trail in Montgomery County is great. Discovery Park in Seattle is a favorite tour run, and I've donated a lot of sweat to the Towpath Trail in Cleveland too.
What I think about when I run …
Are new details I'm hearing for the first time in music I'm overly familiar with, especially late in the run when I'm tired. Physical exhaustion lets my ears latch onto sounds they might otherwise overlook.
My favorite thing to eat is…
Baba ghanouj. Throw in a whole lot of garlic for bonus HP.
A book that everyone should read is…
Mouthguard by Sadie Dupuis. JK JK JK, I'll hand this one to White Magic by Elissa Washuta, one of my faves of 2021.
My fav tv shows currently are…
Tuca & Bertie, I May Destroy You, FBoy Island, desperately awaiting the returns of Barry, Killing Eve, and You. All time faves are Veronica Mars & Paranoia Agent, both always good for a rewatch.
When times get tough I tell myself….
A lot of negative self-doubt-y things, but thankfully I have some good buddies to walk me back from all that. Corny advice, but making lists and physically crossing items off them is a good way to pace, not get overwhelmed by the amorphous goalposts of freelance life, and have visual evidence that you're not useless or whatever the bully in your brain is saying.
My most treasured possession is…
My collection of effects pedals—is this cheating? Whether onstage with guitars, or in my studio on drums, keyboards, vocals, et al, it's very satisfying to dial in a world of weirdo noises, whether they're familiar ones I consider my signatures, or unknown textures that surprise me while tracking.
Last time I was embarrassed was…
Typing "weirdo noises." Very few minutes of my life that do not contain some measure of embarrassment. It's healthy?
The most important thing I’ve learned in life so far is…
To prioritize kindness, to share opportunities when they come to you, and to give people the benefit of the doubt - I know this is also cheesy. These are important values in general, but have been especially necessary working in music. The folks I know who've had the longest & most interesting careers in music are also some of the nicest, and that's telling. If I sense that someone is cutthroat or social climb-y, it's not gonna be a good work or friendship fit.
I want everyone reading this to know...
Espresso in lemonade is a great drink and you should try it.
When we die…
We hopefully hang around as ghosts, and if you've wronged me, disregard the thing about being nice, I will absolutely be haunting you.

What I think about when I run…

A book that everyone should read is…
King City [by Brandon Graham].

I’d love to have an inspirational quote here but realistically I curl up into a ball and cry.
My most treasured possession is…
Not a possession but the most important thing in my life is my dog.
Last time I was embarrassed was…
Every 'day after drinking' scenario.
The most important thing I’ve learned in life so far is…
Everything we hear is an opinion not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective not a truth.
I want everyone reading this to know...
It doesn’t get better.

Running!!! I’ll do sets of 30 second sprints for 15 min if I don’t have a lot of time. Also I’m trying to do 10 pushups a minute almost daily, inspired by Adam Voidoid. I try to add 10 more a couple times a week, right now I’m at 150.
My favorite place to run…
New York City, Manhattan Bridge.
What I think about when I run…
Sometimes I’m trying to figure out the next step in my music. While other times I’m listening to twitch streamers and focusing hard on politics trying to understand them further.
My favorite thing to eat is…
Cheese.

To focus on what I can control in front of me today and that tomorrow is another day.
My most treasured possession is…
They aren’t possessions but it’s my dog, and my two asshole cats.
Last time I was embarrassed was…
Probably last week prolly said something dumb. 🤷♀️
The most important thing I’ve learned in life so far is…
I just try to be as kind as I can, life is really really really really hard. I tell people I love them. It matters.
I want everyone reading this to know...
My record Doomscrolling just dropped and I want you to hear it! If you web search "problemas doomscrolling album" you'll be able to find it at the service of your choice. It RIPS!
When we die…
Don’t try to hide from me. I will find you!
