Ep. #1019: Friendship

Dan Wriggins from Friendship is here to discuss their latest album, Caveman Wakes Up, being and having a roommate, his interest in creative writing and poetry, and being from the same state as noted author Stephen King, seeing Bob Dylan live with his father, his own musical influences and academic pursuits, temporality, fashion, and subcultural explosions, gassing up his bandmates and how Friendship works, exploring minutiae with an abstract, surreal bent, the future of Friendship, a rough Edmonton story featuring Advance Base, and much more.
