54. The Sad13 Episode

Summary: On this episode we talked with Sadie. She's the lead in the band Speedy Ortiz. I met her a couple years at SXSW when I tweeted out that I wanted to play drums in someone's band. They replied. I played drums to a song that I didn't know at all. It's a life highlight of mine. Speedy Ortiz released a new album called Twerp Verse in late April and we should've released this podcast around then but this is a rag-tag operation. This episode is a bit chiller and there's less freestyling but I still predict that it'll be a transformative experience for you. 1:30 - HB the Drummer 5:25 - Synth Zone 6:40 - Speedy Ortiz 9:15 - Alternate Names? 11:35 - Merch Table Safe-word 13:35 - Tony Tax Question 15:25 - Tax Refund Song 16:40 - New Album 18:07 - MelkBelly and Belly 21:50 - Craziest Performance? 24:04 - Botched Show? 26:55 - 1st time hearing Black Beatles? 29:00 - Talkin’ Pumpkins 32:38 - Title-Writing Process/Dogs 38:15 - Activated Charcoal 39:55 - Dog Tattoo/Dog IG 42:10 - Museum of Surgery/Death 46:11 - Burning or Freezing? 48:10 - Twerp Verse/Squirt Verse Song 49:50 - Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle 52:19 - Boss Baby/LEGO Movies 55:25 - Book Aspirations? 58:15 - Poet HB
