Tim Rutili of Califone returns! Tim shares his thoughts about the pitfalls of nostalgia, the moment playing guitar felt like it was a part of him, the undeniable creepiness of Gene Simmons, and the process of making Califone's new album VILLAGERS.

I conducted this interview with Greg Saunier on April 26th 2022 to research a documentary I was trying to put together about Spotify and stream streaming services exploit the labor of musicians. Sadly the project didn't come to fruition but the insights of Greg Saunier and profound and important. I don't think many people take for granted that they can throw down $15 bucks a month for a streaming service, have unlimited access to music and how little of this money makes it into the pockets of the artists.
