334. Fred Armisen on El Perro Del Mar 'From the Valley to the Stars' (2008)

<p class="" data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Today reformed drummer and comedic genius <strong>Fred Armisen</strong> (Portlandia, SNL, Documentary Now) joins me to discuss the dreamy magic of <strong>El Perro Del Mar</strong>’s 2008 album <em>From the Valley to the Stars</em>.<br /> We talk about how the album became part of his routine at Saturday Night Live, why it inspired him to go out and buy a Hofner bass, how the songs fade in and fade out (and we speculate on the history of fade outs in popular music), his relationship with the artist herself, making a music video for her, why this album is the perfect travelling soundtrack and more.<br /> Plus, we make a plan to form the literal biggest band of all time, talk about meeting Paul McCartney, Fred’s issues with music criticism and much more.</p>
