Bells Larsen is here to discuss Blurring Time, performing duets with his old alto voice and his new baritone, cancelling an American tour in the wake of government policies that persecute and harass people with non-conforming gender identities, the widespread attention his statement on the matter received, addressing transphobia in public and his general interest in discourse, dichotomies and multiplicity, Montreal’s bagels and Liverpool’s Beatles, the male voices of Elliott Smith and Sufjan Stevens, significant numbers, working on a children’s book with his father Andrew Larsen, writing new songs, other future plans, and much more.

Thanks to Bob Nastanovich, Rebecca Clay Cole from Pavement is here to discuss her Elephant 6 Recording Co. community, Pavement’s influence on it, and the recent and painful losses they’ve endured, the rise of Neutral Milk Hotel, how she got into playing music and embraces “sideman” roles, the beginning and end of her supergroup Wild Flag and Stephen Malkmus’ quiet role in that, joining Pavement and her thoughts about the various aspects of the forthcoming film Pavements, which she is in, current projects like Clay Cole, future plans, and much more.

Alex Ross Perry, Scott Kannberg, and Robert Greene are here to discuss their film Pavements, whether or not it’s a comedy, documentary subjects who reflect pluralities, how the band reacted to aspects of the in-progress film they saw, who was responsible for giving the film its final narrative structure, deceptive complexity and intellectual malarkey, why it’s good that Pavement maniacs are already seeing and contemplating this strange film, the forthcoming Pavements soundtrack and a significant Pavement announcement, other future plans, and much more.
