You're listening to Nakedly Examined Music, a podcast about songs and songwriters.

My name is Mark Linsonmeyer.

My guest for episode 240 is Jonathan Rundman.

Jonathan has released at least 10 solo albums since 1992. You're right, you know, hearing

When I Get Bored from his first album 11 years and 28 Days in the Yellow Room. In the second

half of the 90s, he was briefly in a group called the Muckrakers. He has played in a Finnish folk

ensemble called Kaivama, and he's played on multiple

solo albums by the silos frontman, Walter Salas Humara, a relationship that continued as the silos

have come back together in recent years. And he wrote with Walter, the first song that we'll be

talking about today, Diner by the Train, as released on

his new album, Waves.

Then we'll look back to Home Unknown from Jonathan's last soul album, 2015's Look Up.

Then we'll look back to one of his early albums, 1997's recital, and discuss the song,

tape.

As a little bonus, we're going to throw in a short song called A Failing Rockstar

Attempt from his Sound Theology album from the year 2000,

and we'll conclude by listening to another song from the new album, Waves, called Evidence.
