Special LIVE interview with K Records‘ Jeremy Jay. He called in from Portland about half way through the show and we had a nice/slightly awkward conversation. I played eight (8!) of his songs, a Folk Implosion song (guess which one), an Eric’s Trip song, “Stop or Start” by Fine Mist and “Here Comes The Summer” by the Fiery Furnaces. It was an exciting 63 minutes!

It can all be heard here. Interview starts at the 33rd minute or half way through.
