It's time to write some songs. Dana Snyder on slide whistle. Tish on a nearby chair. Together they help Dino finally get started on his Sorry About Everything songs... or do they? It's almost like a continaution of this week's Skull Juice, but
"I learned guitar in high school, but I think piano." Paul Janeway talks about deep Southern Baptist, Alabama, writing on piano, breaking the Tiny Desk during his Tiny Desk concert, those nerds playing horns, writing a specific song (recipe, ci

Rob and Dan, 25 years, over 300 songs, trying to write together, trying to break the rules they learned, starting to fuck with each other’s lyrics. They talk about their influences, what happens to the songs you wrote with someone who left, mak
The songwriter gets all the credit, but in the background the other band members add their own parts, working the melodies, finding the counter melodies, and building the song with each new take. Dino, Ron, and Church take five cracks at Sorry
Emerging from a coal mine of singsonging, Jenny O tells Dino about a nightmare of writing, seasons of melodic ideas, the process of writing her song ‘Lazy Jane,’ and more and more. Now, remember: it’s all about the vowel.

“...what comes out of that mental state is - twisted.” Richard Edwards talks about working through illness and coming out creative on the other side. What else does he want to be asked about? Rhyming?! His daughter joins to sing a song of her o
