190. Eternal Platitude w/ Dan Spencer

Contain Podcast

Continuing down the "I ain't reading all of that" interview series with a very special guest bound to be a cult household classic Dan Spencer is a musician and songwriter who released my favorite album of the year Return To Your Dark Master. He’s also a longtime Contain listener (to my surprise) and a very knowledgable and thoughtful guy who went from Mortuary school to playing the CMA country fest and Bonnaroo. We talk Nouveau Roman literature, Peter Greenaway, and slipping obscure interests into songwriting sessions with Post Malone and Brad Paisley. Other topics: the hidden Universalist sects of the Appalachias known as the ‘No-Hellers’, how the modern music industry works, vampires, being around death in the Mortuary, the promise of Utopia and communities forming around it, Brian J.L Berry, listening to the Sun City Girls on acid in the sun, blood covenants, Our Lady of the Flowers by Jean Genet, Djent Country Music hybridization factor, keys to lyrics, quitting drinking, primitive Baptists, Dickey Betts (RIP + SKYDOG), a brief history of Cookeville, Tennessee, and much more Listen to Return To Your Dark Master and see Dan on tour
