Track by Track Album Discussion | Bob Schneider's LONELYLAND | Part 2
Bob Schneider is a highly unique one-man musical and artistic phenomenon from Austin Texas.
In Part 2 Bob talks about why he made Lonelyland without a record company, how the album got noticed by the head of Universal Records, and the story behind tracks 8 through 13.
We also discuss the problems with the record, the different romances Bob has been inspired by, and the first time Bob did heroin.
“I’ll go into a music store and pick up an instrument, I’ll start playing, and all of a sudden I’m writing something, and usually I’ll buy the instrument because I think there are songs in this guitar and I need to grab it and get the songs out of it before someone else gets those songs.” - Bob Schneider
