Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Peter Case on Being a Full Service Songwriter
Q: What does it mean to be a “full service songwriter” and how do topical songs fit into that?
Being a full service songwriter means writing across themes—from love songs to social issues—and trying to offer something positive; topical songs arise from personal observation and current events, though he avoids overly specific political stances.
Peter Case on Being a Full Service Songwriter
Q: Why live at McCabe's and include talk between songs on a two-record set?
The idea came from Len Fico, who believed capturing both music and audience interaction would create a more contemporary, engaging live document, even though it required new editing approaches to balance talk and music.
The National's Matt Berninger- No Earplugs Required
Q: Maybe you can tell me what brought that on (Blue Monday version)
The idea came from the band I used to make Get Sunk with; they would learn songs for soundchecks as a joke, which turned into a real writing prompt and led to the acoustic/solo take on Blue Monday.
The National's Matt Berninger- No Earplugs Required
Q: So what is the instrumentation you're coming with?
It's going to be a mix of piano, guitar, acoustic and electric, with harmonica; a pared-down setup that keeps things intimate.
The Black Angels – Afraid and Powerful
Q: Are you thinking about the direction of the next album or just releasing singles for now?
The band is leaning toward releasing singles more quickly, with the potential for a future album that includes a few more tracks to complete the cycle, aiming to avoid long gaps between releases.
