This week Joe talks with Shaun Fleming-aka Diane Coffee.  Shaun is a singer, song writer and multi-instrumentalist based in Southern California.  His 4th record, With People (out now on Polyvinyl Records) is a personal reach into the past and a closer, sometimes darker look at the people and experiences that have made him who he is now.  In this episode,  Shaun shares what motivated him to look back, why he sometimes masks painful memories with uplifting melody,  and why this record felt more therapeutic than his previous efforts.  Joe and Shaun discuss the process of making With People  with his former bandmate Jonathan Rado  (Foxygen) and long time collaborator Joe Lefitz and how the power of their shorthand was a key ingredient in the production.  We also learn that there just might be a vaccine for Demoitis and we hear a couple tunes.
