So I was talking with Paul McCartney.

Your close personal friend?

My close personal friend, Paul McCartney.

No, honestly, I've been thinking about a conversation I did have with him in an interview that we did years ago,

where we were talking about how there are so many Beatles songs that are made up of several different songs.

Right.

You know, like they change so many times and changed so completely that they're like a half a dozen different songs all stitched together.

You know, a day in the life, happiness is a warm gun.

Even McCartney's solo stuff, like band on the run, like a bunch of different songs all stitched together.

That was such a novel thing for a long

time. And I wanted to talk with them, like, just like, how does your brain go in so many

different directions in a single song? But I've been thinking about it because I hear that sort of

unpredictable musical adventure in so much music now. It is so common, particularly

in the stuff that we're going to play today. Yeah, you know, I definitely agree. I hear that

across the internet soundscapes. Yeah. People just sort of tinkering with all sorts of ideas,

maybe as a result of just like having a broader listening base

and appreciating more music,

there is a sort of different kind of thing happening

from the first artist I want to play

who keeps surprising us,

the decorated alt-country singer-songwriter Brandy Carlisle.

She's got a new album out.
