For this episode, old friend and repeat guest John Charney and I muse in a graveyard about how words and music do and do not get along as means of artistic expression. This is the continuation of a conversation we’ve had for about 20 years now, and I’m not convinced this podcast is the final statement.
John is an incredibly talented musician. He had never even heard of an Omnichord before I put one in his hand, and by the time I had set up my netbook and microphone, he taught himself how to play it, composing a new intro and outro for this episode, as well as playing throughout our conversation (all while perched precariously on the hood of a Toyota Camry). You should check out his new album A Drop of Love in an Ocean of Hate on YouTube and buy A Drop of Love in an Ocean of Hate on CDBaby. He also has a fine solo acoustic album called Far Away from Today available on Bandcamp.
As always we swear, and maybe background music will become the new normal.
