  • Fantastic- Sunny War & Steve Ignorant

    I like Talkhouse's novel format of two solid musicians talking about life. One glimpses so much into past events as they describe things with such immediacy as they both were there.

    Existing interviews are often boring because many interviewers don't put in the work to appreciate the effort and love these people put in for their chosen vocation. Some do put in the work, which is fine, but this new format brings up the banter between shows the struggles and drive. Whereas there is always an awkw... more

  • Treasure trove

    I just discovered this series and holy crap. The drum geek in me of course was tickled with the Black Midi / Bruford episode but then I started queueing up episodes and it got out of hand. I can’t wait to listen and keep listening. Great stuff.

    Is Tim Heidecker. Clearly he hasn’t done his homework.

    And he thinks he is as important if not more than Adam Curtis!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brian Fallon (The Gaslight Anthem) with Greg Barnett (The Menzingers)
Q: How have you balanced solo projects with the band over the years?
Both artists explain they typically write while the other projects are active, and then coordinate to mesh the ideas when the group reconvenes, emphasizing flexibility and ongoing collaboration.
Nobody's Ever Asked Me That: Nicolas Winding Refn
Q: What was the last dream that you remember?
He doesn't remember dreams clearly but describes dreams as a gateway to emotions, suggesting that memory and feeling drive his creative intuition more than specific dream narratives.
James Smith (Yard Act) with Pelle Almqvist (The Hives)
Q: How do you approach the tension between DIY production and working with a producer?
They discuss the pride and learning from DIY setups, then acknowledge the value a producer brings, noting that collaboration often unlocks a better final product and fresh perspectives.
James Smith (Yard Act) with Pelle Almqvist (The Hives)
Q: What has your relationship with painting been like alongside being in a band?
Both Pelle and James describe painting as a parallel practice that influences focus and balance, with periods of deep engagement followed by breaks to avoid turning art into work, thus preserving the joy and spontaneity of creation.
Nobody's Ever Asked Me That: Stephin Merritt
Q: Is finishing a song the hard part for you, and has COVID changed that timing?
Yes, finishing is hard; COVID changed my brain, making it harder to know when a song is done, even though I can still write.
