Wheels Off with Rhett Miller

Rhett is joined by multi-instrumentalist, folklorist, and genre-defying artist Jordan Wax to discuss his emotionally rich new album, The Heart Deciphers. With roots in Missouri and a home in rural New Mexico, Jordan brings a rare blend of intergenerational storytelling, Jewish diasporic heritage, and indie rock sensibility to his work. The two explore the complexities of honoring tradition while making art that feels alive in the present moment. Jordan opens up about the deeply personal nature of his latest songs, sung partly in Yiddish, and the surprising universality of intimate, hyper-niche creative expression. He also shares what it's like to build music from micro-communities, how he wrestles with internal doubts, and why the best antidote to creative paralysis is showing up for your art—even when it's hard.

Hay líneas en la vida, que si las cruzas, no tienen vuelta atrás. Asomarse al abismo de nuestro interior, produce vértigo, pero también terror, al descubrir que no tenemos el corazón de oro, que pensamos tener. El ahora centenario Truman Capote (1924-1984) descubrió en Kansas algo de sí mismo, que le hundió en un pozo del que ya nunca pudo salir. Al investigar el incomprensible crimen de la familia Clutter en “A sangre fría” (1966) reinventa el periodismo, pero es incapaz de escribir ningún libro más, sumido en el alcoholismo y un descenso a los infiernos, que le lleva a destruir todas sus amistades. En este programa de radio, "Al Trasluz", escuchamos fragmentos del libro leído por Eugenio Barona, después de la voz del propio Capote leyendo el principio de la novela. Oímos escenas de las película que hizo Richard Brooks sobre la obra en 1967 (A sangre fría), Douglas McGrath sobre la biografía de George Plimpton en 2005 (Historia de un crimen) y de Bennet Miller en 2008 sobre el libro de Gerald Clarke (Capote). Escuchamos también la composición que hizo Peter Gabriel en 1980 (Family Snapshot) y la "Canción para Truman Capote" de Rhett Miller en 1989. La música que suena de fondo a los comentarios de José de Segovia es de la banda sonora original de Quincy Jones para la película de 1967 (In Cold Blood), la de 2005 por Rachel Portman (Infamous) y la de 2008 por Mychael Danna (Capote). El diseño sonoro y la realización técnica es de Daniel Panduro

As Rhett says, Billy's story is a masterclass in living a creative life. Billy Reid's fashion journey began in Louisiana where his mother had a boutique in the hospitable environs of his grandmother's former home. He studied at The Art Institute of Dallas and cut his chops at Saks Fifth Avenue, later with Reebok. After launching his namesake collections in 1998, he established the Billy Reid brand in 2004.

Music fans know Rhett Miller as the lead singer of Old 97's, a beloved band that has released 13 studio bang-up albums over the last 30 years, including 2024's American Primitive. Disc golf players, of which Rhett is a dedicated one, think of him as a disc golfer, which he is, as I just said. Besides, they're too busy getting annoyed at people calling it Frisbee golf. In this soothing, beddy-bye interview, Rhett walks us through the sport, and also explains why Wikipedia lists five Old 97's band members. The fifth member? Fred Armisen. Although Rhett's explanation is quite amusing, don't worry. You'll still be asleep by the final hole. Well, not a hole so much as a basket, of course.Want to see what Rhett is up to? This LinkTree account of his can point you to all things Rhett. Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you'd like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber? Email us at:  sleepwithcelebs@maximumfun.org.Follow the Show on:Instagram @sleepwcelebsTwitter @SleepWithCelebsTikTok @SleepWithCelebsJohn is on Twitter @johnmoe.John's acclaimed, best-selling memoir, The Hilarious World of Depression, is now available in paperback.Join | Maximum FunIf you like one or more shows on MaxFun, and you value independent artists being able to do their thing, you're the perfect person to become a MaxFun monthly member.

Wheels Off with Rhett Miller

M.C. Taylor, singer-songwriter and frontman for Hiss Golden Messenger, joins Rhett from Durham to talk about the latest record, “Jump For Joy”. M.C. tells Rhett about finding his musical voice, the importance of having a creative practice, and the two discuss why it's important to maintain some mystery around the meaning of a song. Describing the Durham-based Hiss Golden Messenger is like trying to grasp a forgotten word: It's always on the tip of your tongue, but hard to speak. Songwriter and bandleader M.C. Taylor's music is at once familiar, yet impossible to categorize: Elements from the American songbook—the steady, churning acoustic guitar and mandolin, the gospel emotion, the eerie steel guitar tracings, the bobbing and weaving organ and electric piano—provide the bedrock for Taylor's existential ruminations about parenthood, joy, hope, and loneliness—our delicate, tightrope balance of dark and light—that offer fully engaged contemporary commentary on the present. And then there's an indescribable spirit and movement: Hiss Golden Messenger's music grooves. There's nothing else quite like it.
