Dan Bejar discusses the new Destroyer album Dan’s Boogie, why he feels better about this album than his last one, expressing opinions to collaborator John Collins without saying a word, whether or not he thinks Jim Morrison is still alive and well in Syracuse, New York, collaborating with Fiver’s Simone Schmidt and why they’re one of the best singers working today, his interest in Italian crooners and jazz musicians, improvising lyrics about the Houston Rockets and orgies, quoting Bob Dylan and Scott Walker, dark comedy and getting older, playing shows, other future plans, and much more.
