• Bonnie "Prince" Billy (2019) - Teaser

  In my most recent Kreative Kontrol newsletter, I mentioned that I’d done a long-form interview with Will Oldham about his 2019 album, I Made a Place, but it was only used for a print piece, not for this podcast because, at the time, he was feeling ambivalent about being on pods. Sometime in the last couple of years, I asked Will if I could share this phoner, and he said yes, so here it is finally, virtually unedited.The conversation lasted about an hour and took place on Monday, September 29, 2019 at 11:00 AM ET, and you’ll hear us discussing topics like, me attempting to call him using the telephone app on my MacBook, as I often did at the time, but for some reason my computer perplexingly launched a program I’d never used before called Zoom, the return of Bonnie “Prince” Billy music after a long absence, the albums of songs he made written by the likes of the Everly Brothers, Merle Haggard, Susanna, and Mekons, wariness about oversaturated streaming culture, recording a Ramones song with David Berman (who’d died on August 7, just weeks before this conversation) and thoughts on DCB, Will’s love of Jake Xerxes Fussell, the Oldham family’s lengthy history with and a then-recent pilgrimage to Hawaii, and much more.The wonderful new Bonnie “Prince” Billy album, The Purple Bird, is out now!To hear this entire conversation, subscribe to Kreative Kontrol on Patreon at the $6 tier or higher (a reminder that an annual subscription includes a discount compared to a monthly one).Related episodes/links:Ep. #944: Bonnie “Prince” BillyBonnie “Prince” Billy (2006) – TeaserBonnie "Prince" Billy (February 2011)Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/kreative-kontrol.

• Bonnie "Prince" Billy (2006) - Teaser

  The first time I interviewed Will Oldham, it was in-person at a Toronto café on August 19, 2006. He’d played an in-store at Rotate This (Queen & Bathurst location) earlier in the day, and I was told I had 25 minutes to ask him about his then new album, The Letting Go. It was a magazine assignment, but I also planned to use it for my young campus/community radio show, and so we pretended we were live on the air, early on a Wednesday morning (it aired on September 13, 2006). I abided by the 25-minute limit, turning my minidisc recorder off once the interview was done. Will and I then chatted in that noisy café for close to three more hours. In a way, we’ve been bonded ever since, having had many of the most enjoyable, insightful conversations I’ve had with anyone since I began interviewing people for a living. The new Bonnie “Prince” Billy album, The Purple Bird, is out January 31, 2025. There’s a connection between how this record was made and that long, informal talk Will and I had, so I thought I’d share my first interview with him.To hear this entire conversation, subscribe to Kreative Kontrol on Patreon at the $6 tier or higher (a reminder that an annual subscription includes a discount compared to a monthly one).Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/kreative-kontrol.
