Chris Corsano discusses his new album, The Key (Became The Important Thing [& Then Just Faded Away]), his life in New Jersey and what we can learn about it from The Sopranos, dementia, psychedelia, and how a mind can be altered, imagination, illness, and art-making, the now infamous episode of this show that Chris was on with his band Rangda just prior to the 2016 U.S. presidential election, our shared admiration for the double bassist William Parker, a relaxation trick, the projects we each have going with Mike Watt, other future plans, and much more.

Laura Jeffery, Josh Salter, Andre Charles Thériault, and Cole Woods from Laughing discuss their debut album, Because It’s True, our previous interactions and how this band formed around a democratic principle of four singers and songwriters who can swap instruments where necessary, their love of power pop and bands like Big Star, the Replacements, and Pavement, writing clever, biting songs about love and being outside, making their album with Faith Healer’s Renny Wilson, promoting Montreal businesses like Pizza Bouquet and Star Bar, what’s next for Laughing and the members’ respective pursuits, other future plans, and much more!
