180: Ky // Power is the Pharmacy

Power is the Pharmacy Ky 2023, Constellation (Bandcamp)

My streaming app’s stats tell me Power is the Pharmacy has been one of my most frequently-played albums of the year so far, and the physical LP has seen a fair few spins on my table as well. Though I’ve had the chance to see these songs developing over a number of live performances, with former Lungbutter vocalist (and pal) Ky Brooks’ music there was no way to really predict how the final product would sound. Their solo sets (usually using a small synth and variety of vocal pedals) run from elfin quirk to brutalist noise, while on the rare occasions all five extremely busy, geographically disparate members of their current band are assembled they make a formidable electronic-tinged heavy rock proposition.

Power is the Pharmacy falls somewhere between these extremes, a loose, jammy set of noisy art rock built around Brooks’ distorted, spoken-sung free verse. The shape and intensity of that vocal processing (Brooks’ chief instrument) varies from song to song: on the title track Ky sounds like a pair of berserk chat bots in a feedback loop, while “All the Sad and Lonely People” sort of approximates a vintage talk box. Ky’s lyrics weave dreamy associations, references to critical theory, and the occasional absurdist joke into a kind of visionary ramble:

the easiest things to heal are like unchewing something with a nice texture the harder things are like uncracking and come together sharply in a way that makes you worry about the integrity of your teeth it's like having a second secret set of teeth that do the opposite of what teeth do

and if the most powerful teeth are razor sharp and jagged the invisible jaw has just as much power it’s strong enough to put anything back the way it should be

To create Power’s music, Brooks improvised in studio with a small group of collaborators including electronic ambient musician Nick Schofield, jazz saxophonist James Goddard (AKA Skin Tone), and Andrés Salas of excellent Montreal-based Colombian punk band Bosque Rojo, then chopped and spliced these raw materials into loops. The backgrounds of these three musicians make a nice stylistic Venn diagram for where Ky’s music can be found, as does the presence in the additional credits of members of drone metallers Big Brave and experimental post-punks Gong Gong Gong. On “Revolving Door,” Ky dabbles in meditative drone, while “The Dancer” turns an arpeggiating synth loop and breakbeat-style drumming into something you could comfortably disassociate to at a club. Expansive album highlight “Dragons” even summons something akin to the classic Constellation Records post-rock sound, with its creeping pacing, waves of multi-instrumental distortion, and Farley Miller’s martial drumbeats.

Of course, the diversity of Ky’s collaborators also speaks to Brooks’ broad and deep connections within Montreal’s independent music scene, and to Power is the Pharmacy as an album defined by these relationships. The album is dedicated to Joni Sadler, Ky’s Lungbutter bandmate who died at just 36 from a brain aneurysm, and much of Pharmacy’s tone and lyrical content can be understood as Brooks’ efforts to process a profound grief. But there is also the sense of trying to bring a once-vital community back together, in the wake of not only the loss of Sadler but the isolation enforced by Québec’s draconian lockdown mandates. The pandemic has done few favours to an experimental scene already pressed to define itself apart from the Godspeed-adjacent wave of bands who found such remarkable international success, but Power is the Pharmacy is a testament to the quiet endurance of a generation of talented musicians and community builders, and the oblique paths of healing.

We, the CKUT-fm family of Montreal and beyond, local wonderful record label Constellation Records, music scenes across Canada and around the globe have lost the realest of the real this week.

Joni Sadler was the kindest human and the coolest person I've ever known. She left us suddenly from a brain aneurysm that had the unjustness to go after one of the few truly brilliant minds in this country. The loss of Joni ripples wide, far and deep.

Please take a moment to read a beautiful tribute from her close friends and beloveds at https://cstrecords.com/pages/joni-sadler . 

I love you, Joni. You have inspired me since the day we met in 2012, and you will now continue to inspire me forevermore. Her family, her partner Richard, and everyone who counted her as a bandmate and as a friend have my most profound condolences, as i too share the sorrow of a world now without her.

Consumer Guide / No.98 / American television, film and stage actress, Bernadette Quigley with Mark Watkins.

MW : What’s new?

BQ : Currently, work is sparse as most of my businesses have been shut down because of the COVID-19 pandemic. No films or television shows are being shot in NYC at this moment in time and most of my side businesses are on pause as well. This season’s gardening work didn’t happen at all (because NYC had not yet deemed gardening an essential service).

Thankfully, I have a few coaching (acting) clients I work with often and I had one job before this pandemic hit that I’m still working on - a press and radio campaign for Irish singer-songwriter Ultan Conlon’s beautiful new record, ‘There’s a Waltz’. It’s been gratifying to see reviewers agreeing with me that it’s Ultan’s finest record thus far!

MW : Tell me about your role in Law & Order...

BQ : Well, I had four Law & Order roles, actually. Two are on Law & Order: SVU and two are on the mothership Law & Order.

My first big role on SVU was of a victim, Jean Weston, on the season finale of their 2nd season, many moons ago. This character was a mother and wife from Oregon whose husband and son got stabbed to death by a serial killer – played by Richard Thompson.

I’ll never forget this role for many reasons but primarily it was a job where I discovered I could cry on cue. The director and producers decided they wanted to end the episode with a huge close up of my character, breaking down in the gallery in the courtroom. One of the producers shouted out, “Bernadette…can you cry on cue!?” I meekly replied, “Sure.” Next thing I hear was…”rolling….” and “ACTION”… I looked up, terrified I wouldn’t be able to summon up tears but imagined the hell my character went through and looked deeply into Chris Meloni’s eyes and …phew!...started to cry!

The Law & Order franchise has been a godsend for many actors. Not just financially, which it has and still is but for me, the experience I gained working on those shows led to a lot more television and film work over the years, so I’m forever grateful to creator/producer, Dick Wolf.

MW : What are your own views on law & order? Anything you’d like to see relaxed or tightened up on?

BQ : Feels very naïve and idealistic to say this, but I’d love to see major, police reform. Police brutality is despicable and out of control, especially in Black communities. 

I believe we’re beginning to see the power of the Black Lives Matter movement resulting in some of these police officers losing their jobs and sometimes being arrested themselves for their unspeakable acts of violence, but I imagine we, as a nation, need to keep the pressure on. The police brutality simply has to stop. There has to be more consequences for those senseless deaths. There has to be better training, etc...

I’d also love to see major gun control in this country. I would love to see guns banned. Period. But that’s highly unrealistic as this country tragically has a major addiction to their gun culture. Perhaps someday we’ll have some common-sense gun control again such as background checks, and high-capacity magazine and semi-automatic assault weapon bans.

MW : What was it like working with Kenneth Branagh?

BQ : I suggested Kenneth’s play “Public Enemy” to the Irish Arts Center’s Artistic Director at the time, Nye Heron, and was emailing and talking with Kenneth’s assistant quite a lot before setting up a meeting with Kenneth and Nye.

I was flying high that I helped to secure the rights to his play. Kenneth then came to our first read-through, and he came back to see a preview or two. He was an absolute prince, kind, intelligent, caring, witty.

However, this success was so bittersweet because my dad died right before we opened the play, a performance I had dedicated to him before he died (because my dad loved Jimmy Cagney, and the main character of the play was obsessed with Cagney). The play got great reviews and we ran for five months. It was so difficult for me to fully appreciate the success of this show as I was mourning the most devastating loss of my life.

MW : Which "shelved" film appearance of yours should have seen the light of day?

BQ : There’s a provocative film I am in about a racial experiment that is under the radar called, “The Suspect” (2014), which stars Mekhi Phifer, Sterling K. Brown and William Sadler.

By the way, I am currently in three indie films that I’m psyched for the world to see: I play a lead role in “Darcy” which is available (worldwide) to stream on Herflix.com; “The Garden Left Behind” has just landed international distribution, so stay tuned for the release date! And finally, I have an interesting supporting role in a film called “Tahara” which had its world premiere at Slamdance in January and is slated for more film festivals.

MW : What makes a good film/TV critic? Can you name any?

BQ : One that doesn’t give the plot, or too much dialogue away. I often don’t read reviews of films, or television shows, I want to watch because I love going in – not being influenced by another’s opinion. But sometimes, I’ll read reviews afterwards to learn more about the evolution of a film or TV show. I often find myself agreeing with A.O.Scott’s (NY Times) film reviews.

MW : How do you usually prepare for an acting role, and has a character ever taken you over?

BQ : The first thing I do is read the script several times and see what the words are telling me about the character, and how other characters view that person. If it’s a period piece, I research the era or history surrounding the event in the play, or screenplay. Eventually, I forget my research, learn my words and hopefully let the character inhabit me emotionally, physically and psychologically, spiritually etc…and try my best to be fully present with the other actors I’m working with moment-to-moment. Every project is different.

Yes, there were times, I found it difficult to shut off the pain of a character after some performances. Two that come to mind are two intensely emotional theatre roles I performed at the Repertory of St. Louis, Elizabeth Proctor in “The Crucible”, and Agnes in “Bug”.

MW : Is performing on film different to TV as an acting discipline?

BQ : I think it all depends on the style of the film, or television show. With a TV show like Law & Order, it’s formulaic and heightened realism (acting style) and so one makes sure one knows every single word, and hits one’s marks, and if it calls for emoting then one must emote! Some films I’ve done are grittier-kitchen-sink realism. A very minimalistic style of acting.

MW : Has your song-writer husband ever penned a song for you?

BQ : Yes, many….Don (Rosler) primarily writes for and with other artists – on the John Margolis: Christine’s Refrigerator CD, there’s many tunes that speak to many moments within the course of our lives: the title track (altho’ the name was changed), “Scrap of Hope” (a pep talk to me when I was stuck at a temp job I hated), “Here’s Something You Don’t See Every Day” (a wedding reverie that literally started in Don’s mind when I fell asleep on his shoulder), and he wrote an exquisite lyric for Bobby McFerrin’s Grammy-nominated record VOCAbuLarieS, a song called “Brief Eternity”… where his words infuse my love for gardening: “Working in the garden has you... ...Breathing in the bloom and then you View the sunset view to move you Close to truly understanding Life and death but nothing ending Voices living on”…..

MW : Tell me about some of your favourite music...

BQ : My music tastes are pretty eclectic – besides all the indie artists I’ve done publicity for, I love so many styles of music from classical to folk to country but here’s some of my fave artists: Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Pink, Beyonce, Billie Holiday, Ani DiFranco, Ibeyi, Sinead O’Connor, Prince, Bjork, Leonard Cohen, Kacey Musgraves, K.D. Lang, Laura Mvula, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Billy Bragg, and Randy Newman, among many others.

MW : ...and your favourite films....

MW : ...plus your favourite books....

MW : You enjoy gardening. How is yours designed and tended to?

BQ : I don’t have my very own garden. I live in NYC and dream of having a country house with a garden of my own one day!

This is the reason I started a side business of urban gardening. My dad was an extraordinary gardener and after he died, I started tending to my mother’s flower gardens. Then I found myself volunteering at a neighborhood garden and that led to me working in other people’s gardens. Primarily small back gardens and some rooftop or balcony gardens.

I specialize in flowers, shrubs and trees and love planting lots of perennials (flowers and plants) with annuals so there’s lots of varying blossoms of different heights and textures, throughout spring, summer and fall. 

When possible, if space allows, I also love incorporating foot paths, rock walls, or other elements in gardens – art/birdbaths/benches/statues that might be a sweet focal point but primarily I love the combinations of plants, trees, shrubs and flowers to be the focal points.

MW : Recommend five flowers...that every good garden should have!

BQ : Daffodils - one of the first signs of spring! Muscari (aka grape hyacinths) – the color (blue) is gorgeous, as is the scent. Climbing roses – the beauty and romantic history of roses. Anemone Robustissima (late blooming perennial flower). Lady Ferns (okay not a flower, but I’m a fern freak and I love ferns of all kinds!, but Lady ferns in particular are stunning when they sit beside most flowers or surround trees).

MW : How opinionated are you on current events? Would you like to be more, or less opinionated?

BQ : I’m extremely opinionated on current events but find it difficult to find ways to communicate my thoughts without screaming angrily from the rooftops and then of course not being heard. There are those that say we have an obligation to try to talk sense into people whose viewpoints are much more extreme than one’s own (either extreme conservative or extreme liberal). 

I’m very liberal but am more pragmatic when it comes to progress, not perfection, so I’m very happy to enthusiastically vote for someone like Joe Biden or in 2016, Hillary Clinton, but I honestly don’t know how to reach people whose minds are already made up – people who either continue to justify their support for the current racist/narcissist/sexist/pathological liar-in-chief, or that justify their “protest” vote by falsely equivocating both candidates as “the same” or “the lesser of two evils”.

So yeah, I offend people at times because yes, I’m judgmental when it comes to politics and I most definitely believe in the power of protests, but believe just as strongly in the collective power of one’s vote and it drives me insane when others don’t show up and vote for local elections, and national ones.

I find I do hold back on Facebook, not because I’m afraid to voice my opinions but because it becomes too much of a time suck for me.

MW : What character traits frustrate you?

BQ : Impatience (in myself). Aggression (in myself and others).

MW : What’s the kindest thing another person has done for you?

BQ : I find this question so complex to answer. There are so many inexplicable moments in my life, where I’ve been blown away by many seemingly small gestures or kind words from strangers. And professionally, I’ve been truly blessed to work with some top-notch directors that gave me the gift of encouraging me to fully trust my artistic instincts.

When I was a child, my parents were not the type of people who conveyed their love in typically demonstrative ways, in ways that I honestly craved, so on the rare occasions when either one of them did utter something like “We’re proud of you”, or “I love you”, I was very moved by them going past their own comfort zones to express that kind of sentiment!

I’ve had many personal and professional challenges in my life and many of my siblings have been there for me over the years in ways I can’t really articulate without choking up. I also think having the courage to face one’s disagreements and past hurt, which comes with the territory of most friendships and relationships, is an act of kindness that I most value. Those I feel closest to have stuck it through with me by navigating through some painful, complex and messy misunderstandings. I’ll never forget those acts of kindness and generosity.

MW : What have you lost, growing older... and gained?

BQ : My mom died in January, and as I mentioned, my dad died many years ago. Sometimes I feel the depths of that loss – the fact that I don’t have my parents to share the ups and downs of the events of the rest of my life. Of course, I do have them close to my heart and their spirits live on….but damn I miss them! I’ve definitely gained a profound appreciation for them and their influence on me in countless ways.

On a professional level, as an older actress, unfortunately it’s easy to become invisible but I’m not ready to disappear and am joining the fight against ageism! I’m drawn to stories and filmmakers that include women and men of all ages, genders and ethnicities.

Perhaps if enough roles are not forthcoming in the next number of years, I’ll venture into writing and directing at some point.

MW : Where can we find out more / keep in touch?

BQ : Thanks so much, here’s a few links…!

My Favorite Album #227 - Elizabeth Cook on Neil Young ‘Zuma’ (1975)

Sharp of tongue and deep of soul, one of Nashville’s most compelling singer-songwriters joins me to talk about an underrated Neil Young and Crazy Horse classic, ‘Zuma’.

We talk about how Elizabeth discovered the album on a road trip, the elusive concision of Young’s lyrics, how this record defines a certain version of his sound, how the album documents the end of Neil Young’s creative grieving over guitarist Danny Whitten, how Elizabeth wants to steer her future recordings in a Neil-ward direction and what it was like to be a witness to the taping of the ‘Heart of Gold’ concert film.

[parched]

I'm in shock over Joni Sadler's death. What a huge loss.

She seemed to strengthen and encourage every community she became a part of and I was constantly impressed by her ability to get shit done.

I wish I'd thanked her for inspiring me in my early 20s to stop feeling so intimidated by the cool kids and to take part in the arts.

McCain

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Meghan McCain on Friday questioned how the White House aide who disparaged her ailing father, Republican U.S. Senator John McCain, during a meeting, still has a job.

FILE PHOTO: Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) speaks at a press conference about the National Defense Authorization Act in Washington, U.S., October 25, 2017. REUTERS/Aaron P. Bernstein/File Photo

Kelly Sadler, a White House communications aide, dismissed Senator McCain’s objection to President Donald Trump’s nominee to be CIA director, Gina Haspel, by saying that it “doesn’t matter, he’s dying anyway,” a source familiar with the closed White House meeting told Reuters.

Speaking on the ABC show “The View,” which she co-hosts, Meghan McCain said she wanted to inform Sadler that her father’s battle with brain cancer has made her realize the meaning of life was “not how you die, it is how you live.”

“I don’t understand what kind of environment you’re working in when that would be acceptable, and then you can come to work the next day and still have a job,” McCain said.

John McCain, who has spent the last several weeks convalescing at his home in Arizona as he battles brain cancer, released a statement after Haspel’s confirmation hearing on Wednesday, slamming her for refusing to condemn torture. He recommended his fellow senators vote against her.

McCain is not expected to return to Washington to cast a vote on her nomination.

McCain was tortured as a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War, sustaining injuries from which he has never completely recovered.

Several of McCain’s fellow Republicans on Capitol Hill have condemned Sadler’s remarks.

Jeff Flake, Arizona’s other senator and a frequent critic of the White House under Trump, tweeted an article about the comments and wrote: “There are no words.”

Iowa Senator Joni Ernst tweeted that the United States should “treat this war hero and his family with the civility and respect they deserve.”

Democratic former Vice President Joe Biden said in a statement: “People have wondered when decency would hit rock bottom with this administration. It happened yesterday.”

Meghan McCain thanked the public for its support. “My father’s legacy is going to be talked about for hundreds and hundreds of years,” she said. “These people – nothing burgers.”

Sadler’s comments were reported the same day that a guest on Fox Business Network, retired Air Force Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney, suggested McCain divulged critical information to the North Vietnamese after being tortured.

A network spokesperson said McInerney would no longer be invited on the Fox Business Network or Fox News.

'Ten Days in the Valley' Series Premiere Breakdown

http://styleveryday.com/2017/10/02/ten-days-in-the-valley-series-premiere-breakdown/

'Ten Days in the Valley' Series Premiere Breakdown

[Warning: This story contains spoilers from Sunday’s series premiere of Ten Days in the Valley, “Day 1: Fade in.”]

The jury is still out on whether Jane Sadler (Kyra Sedgwick) is a “good” mother, but at least viewers can now rest assured that her daughter is alive and well — wherever she is — thanks to the final shot of the episode.

The pilot of the ABC drama Ten Days in the Valley set up a season-long arc in which Jane, a TV showrunner, has her world turned upside down when her daughter is kidnapped in the middle of the night, kicking off a mystery involving a complex world of secretive characters. As the first episode made clear, everyone from the assistant (Emily Kinney) to the ex-husband (Kick Gurry) are potential suspects as the clock ticks down in the hunt to find Lake (Abigail Pniowsky), and law officials — led by John Bird (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) and Jane’s sister Ali (Erika Christensen) try to piece together what happened that night.

Over the course of the 10-episode first season the mystery of who took the child and why remains front-and-center as Jane also attempts to manage running a successful cop drama and hide a fairly large secret of her own, all while dealing with people questioning her abilities as a mother because she was out writing in her shed at the time of her daughter’s disappearance.

The premise of season one stemmed from creator and showrunner Tassie Cameron following a recurring nightmare she had about her own eight-year-old daughter being kidnapped in the middle of the night while she was working.

THR caught up with Cameron, who most recently served as showrunner on Canadian cop drama Rookie Blue to break down the inherent mom guilt that comes from juggling a career and family, the dangers of writing a show that might be too meta for some audiences, and how the series could potentially evolve into a second season down the line. 

This show was originally shopped as a cable series, why did it land on ABC?

I didn’t have a real agenda; I had imagined that it would probably fit more comfortably into cable but then when ABC had such a passion for it and they seemed to get it so much that they were willing to green-light it to series without making a pilot, it was very convincing. I have a really positive relationship with ABC and the fact that they sort of specialize in strong, complicated female heroes felt like a good fit.

Demi Moore was originally attached but then Kyra Sedgwick replaced her when it landed at ABC. How did Jane’s character change as a result?

When I first write something, I never think of an actor in that part, I just think of the character. I would have been thrilled to work with Demi, too. They do have a different kind of energy. But when I sat down with Kyra, I realized I could use a lot of the stuff she was bringing in terms of ideas and the backstory… I always tailor-make the part a little bit for the actor that I’m working with. In this case, I would say primarily in Jane’s backstory, we kind of made it together.

What else did Kyra bring to the show as a producer?

She was invaluable in a bunch of different ways. She had great ideas about where the script should go and she was very enthusiastic about pushing some more of the unusual elements of the script, like the show within the show. Then in terms of the backstory of the character, we decided that Jane was going to come from this investigative journalist background in San Francisco. Kyra was also incredible with casting. She would go to many of the sessions with our shortlists and she had very, very strong instincts on cast.

Was it important to you to hire an equal mix of male and female directors?

Yes, very. It was really, really important to me — we have four female directors out of 10. I would have done 10 out of 10 if we could have booked them, although that’s kind of a silly thing to say because having quotas isn’t really the way to do it. But it was very important to me to try and have as many female directors as possible. Also diverse directors; we had three or four diverse directors too.

How did you land on 10 as the episode number?

Because that’s the number of episodes I like to watch. I like shows with six, seven, eight, nine, 10 episodes, those limited runs where you get into it and you’re not trying to commit for 22 or 15 or even 13. I like a mystery to be contained.

Speaking of a contained mystery, what’s the pacing involved here? How does this mystery unfold?

There’s a little bit of suspects dropping off as we realize that their secret either does or doesn’t connect to the main mystery, but the main players stay in play throughout the season. There are a number of reversals throughout.

You’ve said the mystery will be resolved by season’s end, so how does that open the door for a second season?

Once you see where the season goes, you’ll see how many different elements we’ve uncovered and revealed and explored and touched on that could lead very organically to a second season. The primal mystery of the season will be solved and be solved in ways that at times that are going to surprise people, I hope. But there’s a lot of hanging chapters at the end of it in terms of the people that Jane has met and the enemies that she’s made and the corruption she’s revealed and that kind of thing.

At that point, does the show turn away from its origins of working mom guilt and a missing child?

I think so, although that guilt is really, really who Jane is. Part of her whole identity is built around that sense of being conflicted and torn. It won’t ever go away; the conflict between Jane’s professional life and her personal life will always be at the heart of the series.

Is she a good mother?

That’s a funny question. They asked that at the TCA panel and all my fierce colleagues were like, “Who asked that? Would anybody ask a father or a male character if he’s a good father?” Is Jane a good mother? Yes, I think she is, but I don’t want to tell people that. She is a passionate, adoring mother and you’ll see the lengths to which she’ll go to in order to protect her daughter. But this is a show about that; that being a mother whether you’re a good one or a bad one doesn’t change who you are. You’re still yourself for good or for bad. Therein lays the drama and the mystery.

Hollywood series with meta elements like this don’t always perform well, so what kinds of notes did you get on that setup?

Everybody was quite nervous about that part of it, as was I. I kept thinking, “This is dumb, I shouldn’t do this. I know these things don’t work very well sometimes.” But honestly, I was writing it for myself so I didn’t worry. I made a list, this little manifesto that I pinned up to my pin board and I said, “Break all your rules, including writing about journalists, writing about the industry itself and being scared that people are going to confuse you with your main character. Don’t be afraid to make your main character female and really flawed.” I set out to break all these rules that I’ve made for myself just to see what I was made of as a writer.

How does the valley factor in as a character?

I wanted to explore L.A. as the setting for a number of reasons. First of all, as a Canadian foreigner I find L.A. so weird and beautiful and surreal and spooky sometimes. To use a foreigner’s eye on that city in a story set in the world of entertainment I thought would be really interesting for me as a writer and creator. It was going to be a shorthand to who Jane is and what she’s doing in a way that you wouldn’t want to have to explain if she were from Toronto. It’s not the same shorthand. Second of all, the title came to me pretty early on. I always imagined her living on the valley side of Laurel Cannon and its whole Joni Mitchell, ’70s mystique. And then lastly, it just kept reminding me of that psalm, “Though I walk through the valley through the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” It was kind of a mix of things.

How similar is your writing shed to Jane’s?

It is not dissimilar to the one on the show. I light a candle — that exact brand of candle, Tevo red currant — before I write. It’s very, very specific. I don’t have a cool Bob Dylan poster in my shed. Hers is a more cluttered environment. I don’t like having a lot of art around, I like it to be pretty sparse. But it’s not dissimilar.

Given the other real-life inspirations behind the show, are you concerned about any blowback from Jane’s drug habit?

I haven’t heard any reactions about it; we’ll see how people feel about it. I was nervous to have her do that, but she needed a secret that she didn’t want to reveal to her ex and to her sister and to the police. She needed a profound, real secret and that seemed like a believable one to me. I don’t [use drugs] but we all have our bad habits. There are some very pure writers who write in the morning with their cup of green tea and then there are other writers who write very late at night and they mix it with junk food or online shopping. Everybody has their thing and but yeah, it happens. For sure it does.

Do you have any words or reassurances for mothers watching this who will have a hard time seeing another child in peril situation?

It’s hard for me to watch too, and it’s hard for me to write which is why you see the child’s face in the first episode. We follow the daughter throughout the season as well. I would turn it off if I felt like there was a chance that this kid was going to be found in a dumpster, dead somewhere. I would not watch this show. I can assure you that is not my intention. My intention is to show that the child is alive and kind of well enough throughout the season. It’s much more a whodunit, why-dun-it than a horror show about grief and loss.

Ten Days in the Valley airs Sundays at 10 p.m. on ABC.

My Favorite Album #224 - Lilly Hiatt on Pearl Jam ‘No Code’ (1996)

East Nashvillian singer-songwriter Lilly Hiatt draws as much from the fundamentals of 90s guitar rock as she does from Americana storytelling, and today she joins me to celebrate ‘No Code’ - the album that cemented the legacy of one of the all-time great rock bands, Pearl Jam.
