Ryan H. Walsh from Hallelujah The Hills is here to discuss Deck, the band’s new star-studded 52-song, four-record set and its playing card themes, our shared love for and interactions with the late David Berman, the Toronto Silver Jews show I saw, which the Hills opened, Berman’s generosity as a mentor and a friend, his “google purity” measure, and his music competitiveness, Ryan not being into Bruce Springsteen and contemplating Nebraska and the film, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, the power of The Best Show with Tom Scharpling, the thrill of failure, his acclaimed book Astral Weeks: A Secret History of 1968 and what he learned from learning more about Van Morrison’s conduct, film studies and ambitious projects, the magical, sordid, and mystical history of cards, celebrating 20 years of the Hills, other future plans, and much more.
