My guest this week is musician David Pajo (Slint, Papa M, Gang Of Four), who picked the Louisville, Kentucky indie music film Half-Cocked to discuss. BUT…there was so much to talk about that this is only part one of the conversation before we even got to talking about the film!

We discussed his Papa M compositions, how Slint songs were made to sound like they were improvised but were actually meticulous in their structure, how his new album was all one-take performances done without a computer, needing a cheat sheet for Slint reunion songs, the concept of "through" composing, the humor within Slint, Andy Gill of Gang Of Four playing his guitar without touching it, joining GO4 and how it opened him up as a live performer, the challenges of learning and playing the song "He’d Send In The Army", is the guitar a friend/foe/tool, Big Black, the Slint documentary Breadcrumb Trail, breaking your parents’ will using the Butthole Surfers, David playing in Stereolab & Interpol, aging in indie rock, and David asks me questions about my wild times in Guided By Voices.

So let's play with our backs to the audience on this episode of Revolutions Per Movie.
