Chris Brokaw, Ken “Bundy K.” Brown, Curtis Harvey, and Doug McCombs are here to discuss III, the first album by Pullman in 25 years, what inspired Pullman to explore acoustic guitar sounds in the late 1990s, the positive but also harsh critical reception their first two albums, 1998’s Turnstyles & Junkpiles and 2001’s Viewfinder received, how Tim Barnes joined Pullman and also his role as the drummer on American Water by Silver Jews, which David Berman had originally invited Chris to appear on and Chris’ feelings about not doing that, the fan mail Berman sent to Chris’ band Come, having Pullman’s second of two New York City shows get cancelled because of 9/11 and what it was like to be in the city that day, Doug’s sudden departure, how Tim contributed to III, Doug’s surprising return, whether Pullman might play shows, everyone’s respective future plans, and much more.
