Litt asked Rateliff how much of the album was autobiographical, to which he shared about his divorce which “still hasn’t actually happened.” He shared that often songs have greater meaning to him after he’s written them, realizing that they often end up being about something bigger or different than their initial conception. “You can’t pay for those, but you can punch them in,” he laughed, and got the crowd laughing along. Joseph Pope shared about “mistakes” that were intentionally kept on the recording, including a time Richard Swift punched him in the shoulder while recording. “We mostly just partied together,” Rateliff shared about the band and producer and friend Richard Swift, joking that Swift probably thought, “we’re gonna make a record with this guy?” He also shared that “Shoe Boot” was essentially created during a sound check, giving the audience an inside look at their lighthearted process. In the mornings, he’d write alone - “song songs didn’t make it, they were too good I guess,” he chuckled as the crowd laughed back. Rateliff shared that touring with the band made the album a more collaborative effort. Litt began with questions about the creation process for Rateliff’s latest album, Tearing At The Seams. She also requested that the audience be present and keep their phones away, particularly off social media, a request that the crowd was happy to honor. Anne Litt welcomed the guests and shared that the session would be recorded and aired on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic on September 5.
