Multi instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, arranger, video maker, surrealist, funk monkey, producer and personality Louis Cole on where he came from, what he's doing now, and where he hopes to go. Along the way he touches on writing "nostalgic music that feels almost like a memory of something that never happened," overcoming fear, being a better person, staying up late into the weird part of the night, "insanity music," money, honesty, humor, the problem with 100bpm, YouTube Poop, the spirit of jazz in his music, and what Nate Wood, Nate Smith, David Binney, Bob Mintzer, and Jack Conte have to do with any of it.
