World Cafe Playlist for 05/22/2026
Bleachers joins host Stephen Kallao
To mark the release of Bleachers’ new album, everyone for ten minutes, Jack Antonoff joins World Cafe to talk about memory, creativity, grief, and the search for connection through music. Antonoff reflects on his DIY touring days, and why he believes the “magic” of art can’t be reduced to formulas or algorithms. Plus, when it comes to AI-generated music, he’ll make the case for why authentic art made by humans matters more than ever.
