Kreative Kontrol

Jeremy Gaudet and Brian Murphy from Kiwi Jr. return to discuss Blowin’ Up, wondering if your dog Angus is related to another dog you saw on the street, missing PEI occasionally and the time a lobster in PEI grabbed my foot, pondering partying and upping the lyrical danger and tension, the current hype around guitar bands like Geese and Angine de Poitrine, making albums differently than Kiwi usually does, our shared love for the band Hot Snakes, office work and computers, the Michigan/Ontario border, upcoming shows, other future plans, and much more.

Kurt Wagner from Lambchop is here to discuss Punching the Clown, not working from home, his close collaborators Ryan Olson and Andrew Broder and the inclusion of drops, producer tags, and dramatic, powerful choral singers, which might surprise some listeners and why surprises are a great thing, why he appreciates happenstance noises and thoughts making it onto his recordings, what prompted his recent interest in lined out singing and how Justin Vernon of Bon Iver wound up playing banjo on this record, why the film Punching the Clown resonated with him so much, pondering Larry David, upcoming shows, other future plans, and much more.

Adam Goren and Brian Sokel from Dead Best are back to discuss GOD: Out of Order, the recent episode I did with !franklin and that band’s status, how Dead Best have evolved as a recording and live music concern, playing music with your kids and why so many young people seem to be so darn good at their instruments now days, thinking about Public Image Ltd., Pailhead, and Lard, a good Nine Inch Nails song appearing on an episode of Twin Peaks, some surprising song subject matter, order and chaos, potentially playing shows, other future plans, and much more.

Ella Williams from Squirrel Flower is here to discuss Say a Prayer to the Gods of Getting Going, not having a real home, living in many different cities, and the joys of transience, when relationships are complicated by the city of Cleveland, which can be depicted in song or on the comedic TV show 30 Rock, playing a show where Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested, when ghosts steal your CDs, finding musical inspiration in the book Women Who Run with the Wolves and in the work of Joni Mitchell, highways and marginalization, volume and balance, frenetic motion and stark stillness, writing new songs, playing shows soon, other future plans, and much more.
