Jake Duzsik of HEALTH
Send us a text (www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1406782/open_sms)
Here's a sampling of the authors and artists that Jake Duzsik of HEALTH (www.youwillloveeachother.com) mentioned in our conversation: Pascal, T.S. Eliot, William Blake, Vonnegut, Joan Didion, Truman Capote, Oscar Wilde, Thomas Pynchon, Camus, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Cormac McCarthy. And somewhere along the lines, we discussed postmodern prose. To be clear, Duzsik was not name checking. It reflects how deeply his creative mind operates.
HEALTH's latest album Rat Wars (bodega.lomavistarecordings.com/collections/health) is out now. And shameless plug: if you're a fan of HEALTH, you might also be a Lamb of God fan. So buy Desolation: A Heavy Metal Memoir (www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/mark-morton/desolation/9780306830983/?lens=hachette-books) by Mark Morton with Ben Opipari (me)!

Send us a text (www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1406782/open_sms) Does writer's block really exist? Or is it just a reluctance to write the bad stuff? The writer Anthony Doerr once told me that writer's block is just "a failure of courage." Pete Yorn (www.peteyorn.com) tends to agree. On this episode of the podcast, Yorn and I talk about the myth of writer's block, why you should always...

      Reach out to Rick via e-mail!!! Seriously, let's make it happen. I already did, I suggested he give Wunderhorse a listen, be I think he (understandably) either didn't see the e-mail or just wasn't interested. I think Wunderhorse would work brilliantly with the kind of content and the message about music that Rick has been putting out for years now. So please, help spread the message about this band. The world needs to hear them.

    That writing alone quote itself could fill a 50 minute podcast, with all the nested ideas you could examine. That voice itself could be thought of an amalgamation of what others have told you over the years, part of a much broader synthesis on shared human knowledge and thoughts. It's no accident he had that profound thought as a vivid reader and shelves full of books! Great interview, thank you for your work.

    I had to laugh at the interviewer's comments on the number of pens, colors, favorites... I don't write many songs but I currently have 10 different colors and two types of pens at my desk with my little notebook, just waiting for me to write in it. Whether I'm brainstorming ideas, organizing my day, or doodling nonsensical shapes, I could not get through my workday without my pen and paper (or my laptop ha ha) Great interview with a great artist! Looking forward to hearing what writings Britt Daniel shares with the world next!

    great interview - as a fan of chvrches' music, it was awesome to get Lauren's thoughts on the songwriting process. the common theme that seemed to emerge was that a large part of songwriting happens while not sitting at a notebook or instrument, both in the immediate term (having something to occupy the conscious mind to "free" the subconsious mind creatively), and the longer term ("putting in the work"). and absolutely agree: the right pens and notebooks are essentials :p

For some people tough times will create great art, for others it will be the opposite and they are too depressed/whatever to be productive. Same with the hours thing, I find I'm MOST productive late at night (night owl for sure) but yeah for some people it's those early AM hours after waking. We're definitely a diverse species.
