  Episode #15

  Season 9 Ep. 15 - Mark Pellington

  Oct 2, 202652 minS9

  Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, American film director, writer, producer and son of Bill Pellington, an All-Pro linebaker who played for the Baltimore Colts, Mark Pellington crash-landed in the music industry as an MTV intern only a couple of years into its dynamic development in the early 1980s. The industrious artist began blending unused clips, bits, and lyrical leftovers from music videos for his experimental music series "BUZZ" in the spring of 1990, and would eventually venture into the weird and wonderful world of grunge and the alternative afterlife. Throughout his career, Pellington has directed music videos for Pearl Jam (including their groundbreaking single "Jeremy"). R.E.M., Jungle Brothers, U2, De La Soul, Foo Fighters, and Public Enemy, among several others. Eventually stepping into the directorial spotlight with films such as the 1997 cult classic "Going All The Way," "Arlington Road," and 2002's "The Mothman Prophecies," Pellington's career is as legendary as some of the folks he's worked with over the years.

  "And The Nights Were Perfect, Too" - A Silver Jews Podcast Season 1 Ep. 06 :: "You're The Only Ten I See/ Tony Crow" (Pt. 1)

  Sep 30, 20261h 2mS1

  Longtime member of Nashville's beloved Lambchop and Silver Jews, multi-instrumentalist, and southern gentleman Tony Crow has been sharpening his tonal tools and wild weapons of melodic magic for almost half a century. We could have talked to the veteran musician about Lambchop for an hour and a half; maybe one day we will, but we stayed the course as he pulled back the creative curtain to reveal his precious participation in the Joos from 2001-2009 on albums: "Bright Flight," "Tanglewood Numbers," and "Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea." On this episode of "And The Nights Were Perfect, Too," Crow stops by to talk about how he initially met Berman and the gang, the golden days of Nashville, Chattanooga, Lambchop, "Bright Flight" anecdotes, hot chicken, Titans, and much more.

  Season 9 Ep. 14 - Jesse Duquette

  Sep 25, 20261h 41mS9

  Maybe you've seen his work while endlessly doom scrolling through the mundane matrix that is social media, or maybe his intense illustrations have pierced through your portable phone and into you're eyes as you gaze out the window, hoping the world isn't what you see on Instagram. Jesse Duquette is a brilliant illustrator based in the Windy City who's earned the title of Meta's most "shadowbanned cartoonist" since meticulously meditating on this abusive administraion since 2017. On this episode of The Self Portrait Gospel Podcast, we sit down with Duquette to talk about his early influences: underground comics, National Lampoon's Magazine, counterculture creatives, music, and of course, politics. Neither of us is "political"; we're simply trying to express and understand the times we're living in.

  "And The Nights Were Perfect, Too" - A Silver Jews Podcast Season 1 Ep. 05 :: "From Tennessee To Tel Aviv w/ Brian Kotzur"

  Sep 8, 20261h 31mS1

  Drummer extradordinaire Brian Kotzur, one half of the mighty Nashville duo Country Westerns, and Ultra Frog, among several other groups, and projects, first joined the Silver Jews a few years before the band recorded its fifth studio album "Tanglewood Numbers," back when the late great Steve McNair, who earned NLF Co-MVP, three Pro Bowl selections, and led the Tennessee Titans to Super Bowl XXXIV was still alive, and well walking the Earth's precious green field turf. Over the next five years, or so, the band went on their first major tour across the US and Europe, and eventually to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem during the filming of the documentary "Silver Jew" in the summer of 2006. Eventualy releasing their final album "Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea," the band played their very last show in the New Year of 2009 at the infamous Caverns in McMinnville, TN, before disbanding into the evaporating ether of space and time, leaving behind the lyrical legacy and poetic presence of Berman's soulful singing spirit for future generations.

  Season 9 Ep. 13 - Nick Sutton (Gummo) - Pt. 1

  Aug 31, 20261h 30mS9

  We're joined by Nick Sutton, who famously played Tummler, for this two-part episode to explore the endless enviroments of an atmospheric apocalypse where character and personality complete and revolutionary relationships. Sutton is based in Portland, OR, where he provides endless services to folks who've fallen on extremely hard times; instead of turning his back on these individuals, as society has time and time again, Sutton and his team invest in them by building them up instead of tearing them back down. In many ways, this ties into Gummo, and what better way to start a conversation than by talking about the real thing.
