  • What a happy accident

    Forget how I stumbled across this pod, but I’m another sad-music queen. I’ve found my people! Keep up the great interviews, please. (Tiny quibble: It’s also okay to talk a little slower sometimes, leave some space between big thoughts. Just like these artists sometimes do!)

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rob Harvilla "SSQ Christmas Edition"
Q: What do you want to hear Christmas music?
After Thanksgiving seems most appropriate.
REPLAY: Moby " When It's Cold I'd Like to Die"
Q: Was it therapeutic? Like, did it help you get through that sadness with your mom? And then also did it, I don't know, with your drug addictions?
Yes, it was definitely therapeutic, as it's the utility of sad music. Indulging in sadness can lead to beauty, and it's a way to cope.
REPLAY: Moby " When It's Cold I'd Like to Die"
Q: Did you have like a door you could lock for like your stuff?
Yeah, I had my little door that I could lock, but there was no one on my hall.
REPLAY: Moby " When It's Cold I'd Like to Die"
Q: So did the song originate as the instrumental part? Like you created the chords.
Yes, the year was 1994, and it started with the instrumental. I sent it to Mimi Goese and she wrote some poetic but esoteric lyrics, which I helped make less ambiguous.
Andrea Bejar "Marigolds"
Q: What does 'Marigolds' symbolize in your music?
It's a flower used for Dia de Muertos, representing life and memories.
