The latest episode of Almanac, wherein I listen to the new Bill Callahan album for the very first time, all the way through, and provide some thoughts after each song.   Since they’re pulling tracks from the internet, I won’t be posting the track listing, but it is available if you do a little Googling.

Finally! A new episode!  This one was recorded on March 25th, I was fresh off the thrill of working on a Grizzly Bear music video, as well as the delight of talking to one of my favourite new actors, Tyron Leitso.  After seeing him in the short lived but endearing show Wonderfalls, I contacted Tyron, and asked if I could contact his agent about an interview of sorts.  To be honest, these little ventures of mine sometimes veer into disaster, like the time I tried to interview different people from Lookbook and discovered that not everyone has something interesting to say. Luckily that was NOT the case with Tyron , who kind enough to answer questions to my heart’s content, and I’ve trimmed out the best 20 minutes to share.

Service Bell – Grizzly Bear + Feist
Unknown Legend – Neil Young
My Hands are Shaking – Sondre Lerche

Interview with Wonderfall’s Tyron Leitso, a clever Canadian actor.  We discuss the difficulties of acting, the triumph of timberframing, and unique filmmaker Uwe Boll.

I Don’t Believe You – The Magnetic Fields
Can’t Make a Sound – Elliot Smith
Seems So – Apples in Stereo
Born to Love Magic – Nick Drake

Also I recently learned how to properly export my mp3 files, so they’re a much higher quality from here on out, no more scuzzy audio hopefully. (Now if I can just learn to read a VU meter!) …We’ll just call that the joke that wasn’t.
