One of my favorite coffee shops in LA is Dayglow in Silverlake. I love their coffee selection, their decor, their staff. I love the whole vibe. And it turns out, Dayglow’s owner, Tohm Ifergan, use to be [is a] a touring musician with the band From Indian Lakes. So last February, instead of having Tohm over to my house for coffee like I normally would, I decided to stop by his shop and talk to Tohm about coffee and music of course,

Growing up in Australia, finding music during her battle with cancer as a child, her journey as an artist and actress, meeting and falling in love with her husband Brandon, and yes discovering the joy of coffee are all different worlds Clare Bowen told me she feels like she has one foot in. But in all of them, there seemed to be some magic involved.

Kristine and I talked coffee and music of course, but we also talked about friendship and connection. That is something that really stuck with me in a profound way.

Tim Kasher is the leader of several really cool music projects like The Good Life and Cursive. I was really excited to meet him. And he brought cookies!

So having Matt Maust and Nathan Willet over to my house for coffee was kind of a dream come true. I had a very interesting talk with Matt and Nathan about their approaches to making music, how it's changed throughout the years, and what they hope to release next. Who’s gonna love you now.  My Year of Rest and...
