Kimya Dawson performs select songs and talks about her new record Thunder Thighs, life as a touring mother, and gobbling airplane farts.

On making a children’s album…

I had a kid and I was finding myself constantly making up silly little songs for her.

On her sense of community…

Some of my favorite shows are the shows where I go and play in some kids back yard and everyone brings food and hangs out together.

On back row plane seats…

We were just sitting there being bombarded by the farts of the people waiting for the lavatory for the entire cross-country flight.

On Pooping in a Porta-Potty…

Sometimes you just have to.
