Summary

*This is part 2 of Ezra Furman’s episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part 1 first or things might be slightly confusing*

So far at The Moon Under Water we’ve played hosts to a wide range of creatives. Artists, poets, authors, brewers, thespians… and this week we’re delighted to be in the presence of one of the finest songwriters in the Other Realm. Making their way through the mists to create their dream pub… it’s Ezra Furman!

Ezra has released 8 albums so far either as a solo artist or alongside her former band The Harpoons, and well as writing the incredible soundtrack for Sex Education. She also wrote a book about Lou Reed; something that Landlord John and Robin will certainly want to discuss. But what will her dream pub look like? Will it even be a pub? There’s only one way to find out…

1:13.4	It's a very Chicago heavy bar so far, but that reflects Ezra's pub in her own mind. Before we get back to this bar, Robin, answers to the quiz,
1:19.9	please. Thanks, John. Yes, so this week's quiz, it was to do with, I gave you some words,
1:26.4	and you had to tell me if they were a horror film or a metal band.
