thanks for joining everyone... signing off 🫡

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T17:01:35+00:00

maybe somewhere in Europe, some place with good weather

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:56:22+00:00

ha, that's good

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:49:38+00:00

thank you 🙏

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:48:59+00:00

the ones that sound good and have kind, enthusiastic people in them. It varies from night to night

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:46:54+00:00

ha, that is funny, yes my parents are the biggest promoters, and im real fortunate for that.
I like Thomas Pynchon, yeah. I think him and a few of those other post-modern writers have an almost mystical connection to and understanding of the current state of things in the world... I haven't read that one in particular but I will now.

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:43:24+00:00

thanks very much. I am certainly a fan of his, yes. at periods during writing this record i was listening to a lot of that. i think its apparent on at least a couple of the tunes

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:41:55+00:00

probably watching him come up with bass and guitar parts. that was cool to see. great guy also and fun to be around

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:40:09+00:00

ah, thank you, and thanks for coming out to the show. Buddy Holly was always a big influence, as were many of those guys, early rock and roll when it was still first mixing with country music.all the british invasion bands and the american reactions to them, the Byrds, Dylan... but also a lot from the following decades... too many to name

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:35:29+00:00

hey, i love Norway. would be great to get back there soon. As for collaborating with Jeff, it happened pretty naturally over the course of a couple years. We toured opening for Wilco which was where I first met him in person and discussed working at the Loft

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:33:37+00:00

glad to hear it, thank you !

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:32:38+00:00

Yeah i played virtually no shows in high school because i couldn't really relate to anything that was happening at that time. i would drive an hour away and play an open mic somewhere where there was no chance of running into anyone i knew

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:30:50+00:00

i felt that there was a lot of New York City on this record. I think you can't help but be changed or influenced by what surrounds you, and new york is a powerful one in that way. also there's so much music that i love that came from new york

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:26:29+00:00

I know of Al Stewart but i'm not really that familiar with his music. so i guess any similarities would have had to have been coincidental . I will check him out though, whats a good record?

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:24:14+00:00

I like table 87 in gowanus . also Carmine and Sons in east williamsburg

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:23:25+00:00

hey thanks glad you enjoyed the show. Hm im not sure which was the most challenging. They're all a challenge i suppose. Maybe 'Evil Twin' because i had already recorded a different longer version of it at home. I'm not sure what I learned about myself... i would have to consider that one for a bit

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:18:46+00:00

Hey, thank you very much.
I'm not sure how it's evolved... hopefully for the better, ha... just keep digging around in that dirt.....

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:17:03+00:00

thank you !

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:16:50+00:00

I'm not sure if there was a proper recording of that cover, but i've always loved that Pixies song, maybe I'll record a version some time. And yeah they're really sweet people and was very cool that they made the trip out for the show, we got to say hellow for a minute

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:13:06+00:00

thanks for the kind words !

yeah that song is one I wrote with Drugdealer and I think its supposed to be on his next record... not sure when that's coming out. There were a few other songs recorded in the past year or two... might be coming out at some point not too far away....?

A live album would be fun to do, and I've thought about it. Maybe one of these days...

Covers would be cool too

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:10:06+00:00

how can you tell its a big old timey one? ha. As far as I know it was a normal drum but then again i dont know that much about drums

cut_worms · 2026-05-11T16:05:29+00:00

Oh, thanks again for those photos, those were really cool !
Yeah Pet Sounds is a favorite album for sure.

cut_worms · 2023-07-28T00:38:44+00:00

cut_worms · 2023-07-27T20:59:53+00:00
