This week, we continue our conversation with musician David Pajo (Slint, Papa M, Gang Of Four) as we start to delve into his music-film pick: the Louisville, Kentucky indie-music narrative film Half-Cocked, in which he also appears!

We discuss David meeting filmmakers Suki Hawley & Michael Galinsky, the legendary Rocket House in Louisville where most of the musicians who acted in the film lived, Tara Jane O’ Neil's amazing performance in the film, Slint, Ruby Falls and Rodan, The Grifters being cast as wise sages of the underground music world, the fake bands in the movie including The Guiloteens (starring Ian Svenonius, James Canty and Michelle Mae of The Make Up & David himself), not knowing what your friends did for work back then, Cathy Irwin from Freakwater’s beautiful acoustic song in the film, the economics of making films vs. music in the 90s, Jon Cook of Crane and Ian’s suggestions to the filmmakers for the plot of the film, why David’s character was named Waldo in the film, David’s first tour with his band Maurice opening for Samhain, Die Kreuzen starving on tour, Soviet France, how skinheads almost destroyed both of our initial music scenes, where we think the characters in the film ended up in real life, and more.
