Comedian Kurt Braunohler Talks Indie Rock And Picks Three

Thursday, June 19, 2014

This segment originally aired on Aug. 30, 2013.

Kurt Braunohler recently released his debut album through Kill Rock Stars -- an indie label that also has on its roster bands like The Decemberists, Sleater-Kinney, Deerhoof, and Thao and the Get Down Stay Down. But Braunohler’s album, called How Do I Land? isn’t just a first for him – it’s also the label’s first-ever comedy album.

The comedian and host of the podcast The K Ohle with Kurt Braunohler joins us to share three tracks in our series Pick Three, and to talk about the confluence of music and comedy, his college punk band (called "Como Safeway") and how writing standup comedy is like writing songs.

And the endlessly prolific garage rocker Ty Segall performs songs from his latest record Sleeper, a quietly intense, and mostly-acoustic reflection of his recent life.
