  • Good guests

    He gets a variety of musician guests and they have interesting conversations .

    The one negative is this is geared to audiophiles but the interviews sound like they were recorded over a speakerphone.

Ep498: Birthing the End – Closing a Chapter of SWANS with Michael Gira
Q: Do you feel pressure to develop art, for example, making up for lost time or you mentioned earlier, you're now in your 70s, there is a bit of a shelf life for each of us. Do you feel the need or the pressure to be able to put things out while you still can?
Yeah, I do. But the more important thing is to finally get it right, is to make something that has an unassailable internal logic and deserves to exist on its own well beyond me.
Ep498: Birthing the End – Closing a Chapter of SWANS with Michael Gira
Q: In this new album, in your mind, what does it add to the story of Swans?
I have no idea. I don't really think like that. It's just, we do one record, we tour, I write songs, we do another record.
