You're going to be. Hi and welcome to the working songwriter, the show where today's best songwriters come to Talk Shop.

I'm your host, Joe Pug. Each episode here we host a distinguished

guest and we ask them to go deep on their inspiration, on the process, on the

general ups and downs of making a life in music.

So whether you're a grizzled veteran cutting a crossfade on analog tape

with the same razor blade that you use to line up Bolivian marching

powder or else a scrappy upstart clicking a digital crossfade with the same

mouse that you use to order a healing crystal from urban outfitters.

This is your show, because ultimately it is what every writer seeks most, an ironclad excuse

to put off actually writing. Hey everybody, it's the first Friday of August 2020,

and I thank you for joining us this week's show is brought to you as always by Bandzougal.

Built by musicians and for musicians, Bandzougal is an all in one platform to build a beautiful

website for your music. I'm old enough to remember

when you had to hire somebody called a web developer to get a website made and

it would always be some guy named Aa who drove a Subaru Forester with a sublime with Rome bumper

sticker on it and who liked to cosplay specifically from the 1997 movie Judge Dread.

An old AISA would charge you about a thousand bucks for a website that would be obsolete in like six months.

But it's the future now, you guys, we don't have to deal with web developers anymore.

We can have nice things now.

One of those nice things is Bandzougal.

Bandzougal powers the websites of tens of thousands of musicians around the world from weekend warriors to

Grammy winners.
