Ep. #1150: Yr Knives

Quin Kirchner, Douglas McCombs, Brian J Sulpizio, and Andrew Trim from Yr Knives are here to discuss Begin Yr Singing, some of their individual pursuits and other collaborators, the lengths I might go to to surprise and impress Doug, how they became friends and familiar with each other in Chicago, a memorable performance tackling ZZ Top songs, recording with Nick Broste and setting up in a linear fashion in the studio, almost as if they were playing a show, the touring they’ve done with the Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis and an open letter to keep such tours happening, the song “White Gladys,” orcas, and yachts, writing new songs, other future plans, and much more.

Ep. #1148: James Brandon Lewis

James Brandon Lewis returns to discuss Calling Antonín, his well-deserved, award-winning 2026, how William Parker got him involved in a special project with the Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theater Company and how their productions are exactly what they sound like, studying the life and work of the nineteenth century Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, why he paid special attention to the album artwork, liner notes, and music on this album, structuring records to have the audio analog of opening and closing movie credits, also paying tribute to the poet Paul Laurence Dunbar via an imagined historical meeting, pondering being prolific and taking a break, upcoming shows, other future plans, and much more.

Ep. #1071: Buck 65

Buck 65 makes a rare reappearance to discuss his excellent new album, Do Not Bend, musical brevity, Joe Pernice inspiring him to start an insightful Substack, writing jokes and stories that wind up as rhymes, befriending the late great Biz Markie and hanging out backstage at a Beastie Boys show, meeting Lou Reed but being low key about their creative kinship, acquiring the four-track he once used in the mid-1990s to create new music but also incorporating Ableton, obvious and oblique pop culture references, when you don’t know where the words come from, why it’s healthy to listen to your own work, difficult time signatures for rappers, a loving celebration of vinyl record culture, many future plans, a hidden phone number, and much more.
