Randy Newman’s still got it in for short people.

Randy Newman is guesting the 831th (Christ on a bike!) episode of Marc Maron´s pod WTF and talks about this and that. Well worth a listen! Maron´s intro being longer than usual, Randy appears 20 minutes in.
For anyone interested in Randy Newman I heartily recommend the first part of a two part interview on Radio 2; part two still to come. I could listen to him talk and play his songs at the piano all day. And, oh my, what songs. More than any other songwriter I can think of I find his songs sound better and better the older I get. The new album sounds promising too.

First for nine years, since 2008’s “Harps And Angels”, which I loved.
We’ve already heard one track, “Putin” – while I love Randy’s political satire I do long for a “Cowboy” or “Davy The Fat Boy”. We’ll all know soon.
And, according to the Nonesuch press release (below the YouTube clip) Randy says “I’m proud of this record”
