I would happily watch an entire series of specifically this: seeing a producer and an instrumentalist for an artist discuss the artists songs. This is a really great episode among great episodes.

If your watching this in or after Aug 2023.. the plugin that the old guy didn’t want to share is Lossy by Goodhertz. It’s $60

*Punisher* is one of my favourite records ever! So this video was SO interesting!!!

[JamesRone]

She's overexposed in a way that I'm sure Leslie Feist can relate to, but a conversation like this brings you back to what makes her such an exceptional writer. And Tony is right - the lyric drives the train. She's so, so skilled in blending the conversational with the poetic.

The best comment I've seen about Pheobe is from a video here on YouTube: "She is like if the Moon was a person." I always felt that went so well with her music. It is ethereal usually.

[JimmyNuisance]

Can't believe I didn't catch this sooner. Loved this interview, just awesome stuff.
Phoebe is the only artist who has made music that I've gotten a crush on, if that makes any kind of sense. I wish I could hug her songs. They're so sad and beautiful and mellow and lovable.

[misterkeithb]

Phoebe Bridgers is a hard hitting enough songwriter by herself that I'd love her music even without the clever production. BUT, learning these extra steps is so cool on top of all that, too!

[lyndsayiu]

This episde is special, there's something about having people involved with the track that just brings such an extra dimension to the breakdown of the songwriting. More episodes like this please!

[aubreythomas]

She’ll definitely be known as one of the best singer songwriters of this generation. Punisher will be a classic iconic album for sure

[mathiashls]

First time hearing about Tony Berg, and I already freaking love him

[bstrouble]

I love how you add the defintion to these musical terms. As someone who is starting to get more serious about music I love this stuff.

[adamhanney]

This has been the best episode by far, having a producer and instrumentalist directly involved with the music being featured combined with loads of discussion about how the production and songwriting intersect was just wonderful

[RobertSemmler]

21:52 "That's good construction, you presage a line that is gonna take a larger role later". Like when the 'DVD Menu' melody came back in the breakdown of 'I Know the End' and hit me like ton of bricks.

[bernhardkrickl]

Punisher might become a record as iconic and cherished as Joni Mitchell's Blue. It is phenomenal. It gives me the chills and nearly makes me cry. Her lyrics are fascinating although I don't ever really know what she is talking about but it hits hard and deep nevertheless. Already the first few lines of the album:

"Someday, I'm gonna live
In your house up on the hill
And when your skinhead neighbor goes missing
I'll plant a garden in the yard"

WTF??? I have no clue but its awesome.

10? years ago my in-laws hosted a small stage at their studio for a little annual music festival in Pasadena. My girlfriend (now wife) was in charge of booking bands. If I remember correctly, she knew Phoebe from school and booked her for the show. Her set was amazing and her performance really stood out. I think everyone knew it was something special. It's awesome to see how successful she is now.

[sourdoughmonke]

omg i’ve been in love with harrisons playing for so long, this is great to see! thanks y’all

[iamjarrettdean]

LoVe when you guys said "Great songwriters are observers of reality." Fantastic. 🎹🎶🎸🎵

[jakehendriksen]

I have to admit, I haven't really been conscious of Phoebe Bridgers before this, but these songs instantly drew me in. Tony and Harrison were fascinating. This could have been two hours long, and I'd have watched the whole thing

[siwem.]

I don't know of you guys have done a video on them but the band Big Thief and Adrienne Lenker her solo work would be soo interesting to see. Their music just stands out, Im not a folk fan but man they made me enjoy folk music

[jeradatherton]

This is the one I’ve been waiting for!
