Watch two original members of The Zombies play “She’s Not There” and other classics at the NPR Music Office, then hear an interview.
Uh muh guh. I so so so wish I had been around for this one.

FATHER JOHN MISTY: Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings
I had the pleasure to attend All Songs Considered Live Summer Tour’s date at Living Room tonight. It was a treat to see all my former cohorts—some of which I now think of as favorite uncles—as was all the free Goose Island.
Much like the regular podcast, this live spectacle jammed some new, divine sounds into my aural awareness. Among those I made note of was Father John Misty.
Josh Tillman, former drummer of Fleet Foxes (a band for which I could never muster many feelings one way or the other), heads this project from somewhere along the west coast. It kind of sounds like the dude is losing his mind post-FF, according to one of the night’s panelists, WFUV’s Alisha Ali… but judging from these sounds, I’m not convinced that’s such a bad thing.
Father John Misty released a full-length called Fear Fun on Sub Pop back on May 1, something I missed BECAUSE I AM AN IDIOT. Clearly. If you share similar dum-dum qualities, feel free to catch back up and order the album o’er hurr.
Lars Gotrich is the resident Viking metal expert at NPR Music, occasionally appears on All Songs Considered, and runs the record label Thor’s Rubber Hammer. There’s nothing hotter than a man who shakes out his hair and screams, especially when he’s got the mane of a Swedish My Little Pony. BABE!
Congrats, former office neighbor! And yes, his hair really is that beautiful IRL.
Tonight’s gonna go kinda like this. Meeting up with my mentor from my semester with All Songs. We’ll be leaning over illuminating things and listening to Lost in the Trees, as we were this time last year. However, tonight it’s at LPR. And I’m not moderating the chat for serial potty-mouths.
I’ll always look fondly back at my time with NPR Music’s All Songs Considered as the finest internship and some of the best experience I could get.
