Writing music and touring with my band RX Bandits for 20 years has allowed me to meet tons of amazing and fascinating people all involved with music in various ways. I'm the person who asks all of my friends those weird and esoteric questions because I have a genuine interest in psychology and what makes people do what they do. Join me for my wide ranging conversations with my musical friends and peers as every episode hopes to be an expedition into the experiences, feelings, processes and perspectives of humans involved with music.

The Musicians Guild welcomes Jon Sortland (The Shins, Broken Bells, Cigar)
The Musicians Guild welcomes Jon Sortland. Jon is a musician and drummer extraordinaire and plays in The Shins, Broken Bells, Cigar, EV Kain and Hot Summer. When he isn't touring or recording he also makes amazing music videos . In this episode we discuss his recent heart attack, his surgeon playing The Shins on the stereo while operating on his heart, his early days in Grass Valley, his first band in Bones skate parts, zoning out while on stage in Australia in front of 15,000 people, his low sodium diet, and the latest video he put together for The Shins performance on The Late Late Show with James Corden. We also talk about a LOT of other stuff as this is the longest conversation inside The Musicians Guild so far. Thanks for tuning in and supporting the show, you are wonderful.
