On June 25th 2025, in collaboration with Open Folk, we presented our first ever live interview event in Los Angeles. As Open Folk put it: "In These Lines is a live event where three artists each bring one song — not just to perform, but to explore. They sit down with Sofia Loporcaro, host of Before The Chorus, to talk about where the song came from, what it meant to write it, and what it still holds. Then they play it. Just the song, and the truth behind it."

Before a song is released, a record is produced, or a chorus is written, the musicians that write them think. A lot. They live. A lot. And they feel. A LOT. Hosted by award-winning interviewer Sofia Loporcaro, Before the Chorus explores the genuine human experiences behind the music. Sofia’s deep knowledge of music and personal journey with mental health help her connect with artists on a meaningful level. This is a space where fans connect with artists, and listeners from all walks of life feel seen through the stories that shape the music we love. About the host: Sofia Loporcaro is an award-winning interviewer and radio host who’s spent over 8 years helping musicians share their stories. She’s hosted shows for Amazing Radio, and Transmission Roundhouse. Now on Before the Chorus, she’s had the chance to host guests like Glass Animals, Feist, Madison Cunningham, Mick Jenkins, & Ru Paul's Drag Race winner Shea Couleé. Learn more about your ad choices.

50:47

Dougie Bowne is a producer, drummer, guitarist, and composer who entered New York’s avant-garde scene in his early twenties after a chance street encounter with a member of John Cale’s circle, who invited him to jam simply because he was carrying a bag of drum sticks and “looked cool”. Unfamiliar with Cale at the time, Dougie nonetheless accepted—and that serendipitous moment launched him into the heart of the Downtown scene. Since then, he has collaborated with an eclectic roster of artists, including John Cale , Iggy Pop , Yoko Ono , Laurie Anderson , The Lounge Lizards , Marianne Faithfull , as well as filmmakers Edet Belzberg and Jim Jarmusch .…

Lydia and Tim are on tour, which means no intro this week. Here is a message from Lydia on the eve of Independence Day: "There has never been a better time for a People's Revolution than this July 4th, when the fireworks you'll be watching will mirror the explosion in our heads after Diaper Donnie and his band of criminal Republicunts have severed every safety net that has semi-protected veterans, children, women, working families, and nature herself. Total fuckery. Have a good weekend, and blow something up." This week’s guest is Kilynn Lunsford . Her Promiscuous Genes , released in June, is a sharp, shape-shifting mix of post-punk, electro, and noise. Built from lo-fi textures, disembodied vocals, and jagged rhythms, it’s a raw, collage-like record that moves between pop impulse and experimental abrasion without settling into either.…

Steve Doughton is a Portland-based filmmaker whose works explore themes of alienation, connection, and displacement. After establishing himself in New York’s experimental film scene during the 1980s, Steve returned to his hometown, where his filmmaking evolved into something more sustained and emotionally resonant. Earthlings , his latest feature adapted from a short story by longtime collaborator Jon Raymond , continues his exploration of isolated individuals brought into uneasy intimacy—this time through a dinner party that confronts issues of race, class, and belonging in a distinctly Portland setting. Though shaped by his experimental roots, Steve’s recent work is grounded in character-driven storytelling, revealing the quiet, often painful negotiations of human connection across social and emotional borders.…

From Gradin’s grotesquely layered visual chaos and insomnia-fueled narratives, to Tottenham’s hilariously bitter verses on failure, resentment, and reluctant ambition, this conversation explores the fine line between doing too much and doing just enough. Both Justin and John have new books out in 2025. Checkout Justins new book on Fantagraphics Pageant . John's book Service is out on Penguin Books.…
