#378: Duane Denison (Tomahawk, The Jesus Lizard)

Tomahawk and The Jesus Lizard guitarist Duane Denison is our guest
this week! We discuss Tomahawk's new album, Tonic Immobility, the
20-year anniversary of their self-titled debut, how he first
presented the idea for the band to Mike Patton, and what it's been
like working with him over the years. Duane also shares his
thoughts on what touring will be like when it returns, his day job
working at a library during the pandemic, the importance of
practicing and improvising to generate new ideas as a songwriter,
his thoughts on people who continue to go to extremes when it comes
to their opinions, and historical patterns that help him understand
the world today. Petar, Brandon, and Sylvia hash out the financial
killing The Mars Volta made on their new 18-LP box set, how
streaming accounted for 83% of recorded music revenue in 2020, and
Michael Sweet of Stryper’s comments that the Bible is in danger of
being canceled. Thanks to this episode’s sponsors, The Punk
Rock MBA Podcast and Metal Blade Records! Songs: Tomahawk -
