exclusive, original, bonus cut with Giant Sand's Howe Gelb

Did I catch you in the middle of a bite?

(laughs) Yeah. A bagel.

Should I give you a few minutes and call back?

No, I’m good. Let me just plug in this headphone thing so I won’t die of radiation. It’s some weird plastic thing that actually looks like an old phone that plugs into your cell phone.

Tell me something that you’ve never ever done before in your life.

Aerial photography.

Tell me something that you’ve done once and one time only.

I got clamps in my head. I only did that once. I only had that happen once. Does that count?

Did you say 'clamps'?

Yeah, when you crack your head open and they can’t stitch it.

Wow. How long ago was that?

I was about 8 or 9 so early ‘60s.

Tell me the name of a book that you’ve read at least twice.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. Or Call of the Wild. Jack London.

Tell me the name of a movie that you’ve seen at least three times.

The Tenant by Roman Polanski.

And who’s your favorite Beatle?

Oh, George.
Did you go with Murakami or did you go with Jack London? Which one did you use for the book? Call of the Wild or Wind-Up Bird?

Whichever one you want.

Maybe we should go with Painted Bird.

By Kosinski?

Yeah. That was so unbelievable I had to go through it again. That was wicked.
