Episode 22: Justin Pierre, Motion City Soundtrack

The James McMahon Music Podcast

If you’ve come to this episode expecting a conversation hung around Justin Pierre’s new, forthcoming solo EP Ghost World – his third so far this year, and out November 12th – then chances are you might be disappointed. Talking about that stuff with Justin was very much my intention, and yet a conversation between me and the sometime Motion City Soundtrack singer about topics much meatier, somehow, seamlessly transpired.
I have to shoulder the blame for that – with his old band MCS, Justin’s 2010 album My Dinosaur Life was a record that defines a significant quota of my life. This was my OCD album before I really knew that the thing that was wrong with me was OCD, certainly before I’d accepted it, and so a lot of what follows concerns mental health, spirituality, and personal growth; stuff that I’ve wanted to talk to him about for years and years. Because of this, we simply ran out of time for the music, though I’m sure we’ll reconvene for a part two at some point down the line. Plenty of meat on the bone here, though!
