Today, maDCap visits with the profound and prolific novelist T.C. Boyle. His 25th work of fiction is titled "The Harder They Come," and if you're already humming Jimmy Cliff, keep listening because it's in here. If you think T.C. Boyle didn't do that on purpose, you don't yet know him well enough.

The Hudson Valley native has been going westward for many years, first earning a Master's degree at the Iowa Writer's Workshop and eventually planting roots in Southern California, where he was crucial to the founding of USC's Creative Writing Program in 1978.

Above all, T.C. Boyle wants to create and refine his art every day. He wants to do it his way, unabashedly so, and with such ability to translate our world's paradoxes to the page, we hope he keeps on going for 25 more...at least.

This conversation was enabled by the good folks at the PEN/Faulkner Foundation, hosting an event in Washington DC with T.C. Boyle on Friday, March 27th at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation, located across the street from the Folger Shakespeare Library.

The event begins at 7 PM and the address is 212 East Capitol Street, NE Washington DC.

"The Harder They Come" is available on Ecco books, an imprint of HarperCollins, in hardback, digital and @harperaudio_us on March 31st.

"There's people that will dream-crush you. Just be prepared for dream crushers, people who will tell you you can't do what you want to do. And then just look them in the eye and say thank you and in your head go, 'Go Fuck Yourself' and go do what you want to do."

It was great to speak to Jay and Mark Duplass. They are two gents from Louisiana who have been pumping out quality entertainment for years. First time we saw them was late night on cable years ago with the short film called "This is John."

In this conversation, we talk about their latest endeavor "Togetherness" an eight-episode series on HBO. It was created by the two brothers and their high school friend, Steve Zissis (who has an amazing story, FYI). This is also the debut of the Duplass bros as a writing team. The show stars Mark Duplass, Melanie Lynskey, Steve Zissis, Amanda Peet, Peter Gallagher and John Ortiz.

Here's the synopsis:

Brett and Michelle are struggling to rekindle the spark in their relationship, which has puttered out from the stresses of marriage and children. When Brett’s friend Alex and Michelle’s sister, Tina, move in with them, the foursome engage in a tragically comedic struggle to follow their personal dreams, while still remaining good friends, siblings and spouses to each other.

Just having wrapped up its season finale last Sunday, you can still view episodes on HBO Go. In this interview we touch on their life motto, what it means to be creatively relevant, what kind of smoothie Jay and Mark like, and a bit about Stevie Nicks.

Just listen to the damn episode. Stop reading this.

TAUK, the instrumental rock quartet from New York, is one of our very favorite bands. They work hard, make driving, energetic music, and tackle their challenges with a determination and artistic spirit we can only revere.

Collisions, TAUK's sophomore effort, is funky, hard-driving and replete with infectious grooves. In their second maDCap appearance, Dan & David visited with Alric "AC" Carter, Matt Jalbert, Isaac Teel and Charlie Dolan backstage at The Hamilton. The boys catch us up on their lives and discuss the album 'Collisions.' Look for TAUK on the road this summer, including dates at JazzFest in New Orleans, Electric Forest in Michigan and Red Rocks with Umphrey's McGee on July 3rd.
