Charlotte Cornfield is my guest on this episode of That’s How I Remember It. Charlotte first came on my radar through her great 2023 record Could Have Done Anything, which I wore out after millions of listens. She’s back with another great one, Hurts Like Hell. We talked about making that record as well as her great memory for show dates, songs about sandwiches, Rush, studio memories, and making January records. Great talk and I highly recommend listening to her record as well as this episode. Also, please subscribe!
Joshua Ray Walker is my guest on this episode of That’s How I Remember It. Joshua is a great singer-songwriter from Dallas, Texas, and in 2023, he was diagnosed with cancer. He was told at one point that his situation was dire. So, he went to work. He is now cancer-free, but has put out three records in a twelve-month period, which he calls “The Cancer Trilogy.” We talked about the most recent release, Ain’t Dead Yet, due in late May, as well as his second birthday memories, The White Stripes, The Longhorn Ballroom, Dan Fogelberg's “Same Old Lang Syne,” and his desire to create when he was ill. I’m very happy that Joshua is cancer-free, and super psyched that he joined me here for a great conversation. Listen and subscribe!
Kevin Drew from Broken Social Scene is my guest on this episode of That’s How I Remember It. I met Kevin years ago at some festivals our bands played together, and have always really enjoyed speaking with him, so I was thrilled to have him on the show. We talked about the great new BSS record as well as AC/DC, losing a parent, Rosie Grier, not having children, Dinosaur Jr., and the Broken Social Scene set at Lollapalooza 2006 - the best music festival set I’ve ever witnessed. This was such a great talk, huge thanks to Kevin for joining. Listen and subscribe!
José González is my guest on this episode of That’s How I Remember It. José is a fantastic guitarist and songwriter who just released a great new record Against The Dying of Light. We talked about his prior studies in biochemistry, pushing away intrusive thoughts when playing live, his roots in punk and hardcore, Quicksand, Richard Dawkins and ending on a hopeful note. Really great conversation, was a pleasure to have Jose on the pod. Check it out, listen and subscribe!
Buck Meek is my guest on this episode of That’s How I Remember It. Buck is, of course, a member of the incredible Big Thief band. He also makes excellent solo records including the recently released one titled The Mirror. We talked about making that record as well as sense memory, feedback loops, icehouses, influential guitar teachers, the connection between grief and love, and trusting songs. This was a great talk with an incredible musician, really pleased to have Buck on the pod. Listen and subscribe!
Julia Steiner from the band Ratboys is my guest on this episode of That’s How I Remember It. Ratboys originated in the dorms at the University of Notre Dame and have put out six albums since forming in 2010. This year's release, Singin’ to an Empty Chair, is an absolutely fantastic rock record, and we talked about making that as well as watching Super Bowls as a band, having a personal stake in your stories, iPods, obsessive iTunes maintenance, The Beatles' “Lady Madonna,” and so much more. Really a great episode, check it out!
Milo Aukerman from the Descendents is my guest on this episode of That’s How I Remember It. In summer 1987, I went to a Descendents show at First Ave in Minneapolis for what was to be the band’s final tour. Halfway through the show, the band announced they were recording a live album. That album became the classic Liveage! record, in my mind an all time great live record. Milo and I talked about that as well as Tom Lehrer, Frank Zappa’s Apostrophe ('), getting turned onto music by Rodney on the ROQ, LA bands like The Dickies and X, his science career, his time in Madison Wisconsin, coming back to the band after a long break, and 40 years of their classic record I Don’t Want To Grow Up. This was a huge one for me, and Milo was awesome. Check it out now, and subscribe!
Courtney Marie Andrews is my guest on the first That’s How I Remember It of 2026. Courtney is a great songwriter, poet, painter - a true artist who does a lot of things. We talked about love and grief on her great new record Valentine as well as light affecting memory, Marin County, the musical Annie, playing covers, Warren Zevon’s Preludes, and poetry vs. songs. Really enjoyed this and happy to be back with new episodes of THIRI. Listen and subscribe!
