No Comments on Ep. #1116: Robyn Hitchcock

Robyn Hitchcock is here to discuss his new memoir, Stranded in the Future, and his new album, The Confuser, surreal song and prose writing, being haunted by lifelong muses, a fear of being boring, pondering parenting and figuring yourself out, how attending an all-boys school impacts the empathy you have for people of other genders, why aliens gravitate towards other aliens like Bob Dylan and Syd Barrett, depicting one’s own transcendent dreams and trips, celebrating the past, nostalgia, and sentimentality, a nod to Nick Lowe, loving trams and trolley cars, writing books on your phone, upcoming events, other future plans, and much more.

Ep. #1078: Geologist

Brian Weitz is here to discuss the solo debut by Geologist, Can I Get a Pack of Camel Lights?, his previous academic and vocational pursuits in environmental and ocean policy on Capitol Hill, how his interest in playing the hurdy gurdy led him to Ben Grossman, Guelph, Ontario, and my inbox a few years ago, why a Keiji Haino show at the New York City club Tonic made a huge impression on him as a university student, his friendship with the late David Berman and smoking the last cigarette David gave him after he died, his interest in drone, noise, and artists on the SST record label, how much he has always loved Pavement, a tangent about the life-saving film Spies Like Us, future plans for Animal Collective and himself, and much more.
