Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
The Black Angels – Afraid and Powerful
Q: What is your memory 20 years on of the making of Passover, and was it a struggle or a joy to create?
Memories focus on the period before Passover when the band toured and tested the songs live; recording was a rapid process but the lead-up and sonic discoveries were the more meaningful memories, infused with a sense of magical spirituality.
Gary Klebe of Shoes - Out Loud and On His Own
Q: What was the recording process like, especially with drums in Nashville and other parts done at home?
Gary describes building a basement studio, recording basic tracks at home, and sending the drums to Nashville for a session with a seasoned drummer, then returning to finish and mix everything himself, highlighting the flexible, DIY approach enabled by modern technology.
