Today reformed drummer and
comedic genius Fred Armisen (Portlandia, SNL,
Documentary Now) joins me to discuss the dreamy magic of El
Perro Del Mar’s 2008 album From the Valley to the
Stars.
We talk about how the album became part of his routine at Saturday
Night Live, why it inspired him to go out and buy a Hofner bass,
how the songs fade in and fade out (and we speculate on the history
of fade outs in popular music), his relationship with the artist
herself, making a music video for her, why this album is the
perfect travelling soundtrack and more.
Plus, we make a plan to form the literal biggest band of all time,
talk about meeting Paul McCartney, Fred’s issues with music
criticism and much more.
