11. It doesn't make a fucking difference! Jonathan Segel breaks down Sleep For A Hundred Years

"The whole idea of doing this record was: it's unnecessary. It's unnecessary for me to do it, but I do it anyway. It's unnecessary for me to be a musician, but I sorta feel like that's all that's interesting about being alive is what's superfluous." - Jonathan Segel

Today we have Jonathan Segel on the show! He’s known both for his improvisational electronic or avant-garde solo projects as well as being a member of the rock group Camper Van Beethoven.  In this episode, he not only breaks down the song but also the entire concept behind his Superfluity album. Get ready to get your mind blown. If you like meta-stuff, this will be right up your alley.

We talk about SO much, including:

✨How many drummers play on this song- it’s more than one.

✨How the universe is indifferent to our existence.

✨The philosophical underpinnings of the record and this song’s place in it. 

✨His suspicion about all the dystopian entertainment out there. 

✨He reads us the Dorothy Parker Poem Resume.

✨The effect he hopes this album and song has on its listeners.
