Episode 37 Michael Carpenter of Decadents - “I'd Rather Be Lonely”

Even though my guest Mike Carpenter would rather be lonely he was willing to chat with me about his song "I'd Rather Be Lonely," being in a band in high school, creating the perfect set list, audiences, and his favorite non-musical thing. Grab yourself a Captain and Diet and settle down for CU music insight 18 years in the making.
