Bill Callahan (2011)

My first interview with Bill Callahan took place over the telephone on March 31, 2011, ahead of the April 19 release of his album, Apocalypse. The interview was conducted for and broadcast on the Mich Vish Interracial Morning Show! on May 4, 2011, and also for a print magazine profile. Bill and I bonded over our shared love of The Larry Sanders Show among other things, which you can hear now. As usual with archival interviews presented here, this is a raw, unedited recording that reflects the actual experience shared between the interview subject and I on the day we spoke. The latest album by Bill Callahan is called My Days of 58, and it’s available now via Drag City Records.
