David Duchovny is distracted/fascinated by the live closed captioning.
Opening song "Half Life" had a surfer rock mumble core vibe to it that I surprisingly really dug.
David Duchovny (57) is in great shape, though his age is emphasized by his baby-faced band.

David Duchovny says that he looks for other modes of expression to convert whatever is on his mind or heart at the time. He started out as an unpublished writer, then became an actor, then back to writing and acting acting and more music. It's about communicating something through an open window.
With notoriety I get more options but I also get attacked more, says David Duchovny. (Fun fact: Duchovny attended Princeton and got his Master's Degree in English Literature from Yale.)
David grew up in New York and references it a lot in his work. He has a love/hate relationship (with an emphasis on hate). He grew up on 11th and 2nd Ave, but loves the village area.
I'm not a schooled musician or good enough to carry it in my own, says David Duchovny. It's been a learning process for him, especially collaborating with his band.
David Duchovny learned guitar 3 years before his first album, Hell or High water. He didn't take lessons, but taught himself the cords he wanted to play alone in his room. He didn't want homework, didn't want it to feel like work out an obligation. He credits Brad Davidson with pushing him to share the music publicly.
Talent vs grit? David Duchovny took voice lessons, he is pitchy and without the best voice, but believes grit and resiliency is a talent.
David says part of his reason for pursuing music was to set an example for his kids. They both play guitar now. His son loves 60s and 70s rock, but isn't a big fan of jamming with his Dad.
I don't know what code is, but songs are like writing code. We think of language as writing our thoughts, but it's a code. It's slippery and words can be inadequate, but in a song they get much bigger. The words are coding for something else, says David Duchovny.

I think you learn by doing, says David Duchovny, that's how I got started as an actor. Working 14 hours a day on X-Files, I learned it helps to think you're better than you are when you start out.
David Duchovny recommends sunscreen for New Yorkers moving to L.A.
Regarding X-Files, David Duchovny says he "never really believed. It's not his bag."
David Duchovny answers audience questions.
David and band close with "Stranger in the Sacred Heart" inspired by a church in Paris where parishioners pray for others, and the world vs themselves.
Dare I say legendary? The great @davidduchovny performs and talks about his new album. #BulletinFromGoogle @googletalks https://t.co/rvc6Z3XtK4
