How come we look at a giant, centuries-old tree in awe, but don't think of ourselves in the same way? It's... incomprehensible.
Adrianne Lenker says it best on @bigthiefmusic's latest album: "How can beauty that is living be anything but true?"
Today, Big Thief join @rahrahraina to talk about getting older, how the band has adapted to a new line-up, and building the big and beautiful world of their sixth studio album, Double Infinity.
Plus, the band performs in the studio! 🍋🟩🍋🟩🍋🟩

At his point in his life and career, Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme is not shy about trying new things.
Whether it's something small like a new accessory, or monumental like branching out into different genres of music, Homme says he's "just trying things lately."
A tumultuous few years in one's personal life including a serious health scare, will do that to a person. Host Raina Douris gets to the significance of this period of Homme's life, and recognizes the wisdom and renewed sense of adventure that the frontman came away with.
Plus, Queens performs live in our studio. Watch the full interview and performance at worldcafe.org.

Remember websites from the early 2000s? Full of hyperlinks, little animated GIFs and slow-loading images. They were messy, chaotic and so different from the streamlined online experience we have today.
That’s a bit like listening to bitknot, the new album from Pittsburgh’s feeble little horse.
Their sound is glitchy and unpredictable, like the Internet of yore, but there’s also a hooky sweetness to their music, along with lyrics that feel unmistakably modern.
Coming up, vocalist and bassist Lydia Slocum and multi-instrumentalist Sebastian Kinsler talk about making bitknot and some of the themes that run through it, including mortality and our relationship with the Internet.

Jesse Malin's new book, 'Almost Grown: A New York Memoir,' is a captivating read.
Malin (@jesse_malin) has been a fixture in New York City's music scene since the '80s, earning praise from artists like Bruce Springsteen, Billie Joe Armstrong, and Lucinda Williams, who produced his 2019 album, 'Sunset Kids.'
In his memoir, Malin paints a vivid picture of New York in the '70s and '80s, a city that was rough around the edges and never short on characters.
There are plenty of great music stories along the way, including tales of Malin's lifelong friendship with Joey Ramone. At its heart, it's a story about determination, resilience and joy.
Today, Malin joins World Cafe to talk about his memoir and the spinal stroke he suffered in 2023, which left him paralyzed from the waist down, as well as his long road back to performing live.
He also shares stories from a New York City that no longer exists and reminds us why he'll always be the "mayor" of the East Village.

Broken Social Scene @brokensocialscene has spent decades creating music that is intense, chaotic, cathartic and deeply human.
And that continues on their first album in nine years, Remember the Humans. Today, Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew talks about why coming together, as people, is so important:
“Friendship is the greatest protest that we do have right now, and I think it’s something that needs to be a bumper sticker for people to remember, as we’re moving forward in these times, because they are very, very tricky,” he says.
Drew also talks about the band’s friendship, with each other, as well as with the members of Stars and Metric, whose recent tour with Broken Social Scene brought up a lot of emotions for both the bands and the audience.
“We are in the memory-making business. That’s what we’re doing,” he says.

For singer-songwriter Margaret Glaspy @margaret_glaspy, sometimes the best way to find inspiration is to tune out the noise.
After realizing that spending too much time on her phone and scrolling through social media was getting in the way of her creativity, Glaspy decided to unplug. What followed was a burst of songwriting that led to her latest album, I Am Both.
Today, Glaspy joins World Cafe to talk about reconnecting with her creative instincts, finding inspiration away from screens and why she believes an artist's responsibility is to offer something original. Plus, she performs songs from the new album live.

What do you get when you put four singer-songwriters in a band together? In the case of Fantastic Cat @fantasticcatband, you get a whole lot of personality and a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor.
The New York-based group features Anthony D’Amato, Brian Dunne, Don DiLego and Mike Montali, who each have their own solo careers. They describe themselves as a supergroup, but with a caveat: “Think CSNY if none of them were famous, or the Traveling Wilburys if none of them were famous, or the Eagles if they really didn’t get along.”
Fantastic Cat released their third album, Cat Out of Hell, back in April, and today, they join World Cafe to perform songs from the new record.

Our guest today grew up in Slovakia and then Moscow, where she studied ballet. But in her heart, she always wanted to move to the United States. Why?
Not so much the picket fence dream, but the dream of becoming a pop star. At 8 years old, she began teaching herself English, with the goal of being fluent enough by 12 to audition for The Disney Channel, network of her beloved Hannah Montana.
Now, living and working in LA, Adela is the first Slovak artist to achieve a Billboard Hot 100 hit with her song "Ain’t in LA."
There's a whole lot in between, of course, that makes for a thoughtful chat. On today's episode, Adéla tells contributing host @kallao how the entertainment industry isn't as predicable as she once imagined, and how she worries its gatekeepers are affecting the lives of young performers.
And of course, she shares some dance floor pointers with Kallao who, may or may not be able to hold his own at the club.
