Jay Ferguson and Chris Murphy from Sloan return to discuss their album, Based on the Bestseller, how their own bandmates inspire them to write better songs, why Chris’ “Open Your Umbrellas” reminds me of Dick Van Dyke and how Jay’s “Capitol Cooler” has its own whimsical yet pointed motif, connecting music, books, and movies, trying to have a fun album rollout, a funny observation about Chris by Mike O’Neill, writing topical songs, being an active band that some associate with the distant past, whether Sloan would be as big as Geese if this was their first album, touring, other future plans, and much more.
