Episode Summary

Getting stuck at the Vancouver-Seattle border, The revealing nature of playing with other people, and passing out flyers in Waikiki. Alex Zhang Hungtai (Dirty Beaches, Last Lizard) "Alex Zhang Hungtai is a man of many names. As Dirty Beaches, he released several critically acclaimed indie rock albums, mixing what Pitchfork called “grimy, dissonant love songs” with a 1950s greaser look that made fashion editors take notice. But just as he was gaining popularity, he ditched the pomade and began making jazz-inspired music under the name Last Lizard. Recently, he released an album with a trio called Love Theme and popped up on the Showtime reboot of “Twin Peaks” as a member of the fictional band Trouble."
