Stephin Merritt Writes a Song in Two Days

For a new NPR show where they lock up a musician, provide him or her with six words or phrases and images, and make them write a song in 48 hours.

First up was San Francisco Songsmith Stephin Merritt, who comes up with a pretty catchy song about a serial killer who has an uncanny ability to disguise himself. The video on the site is fascinating, and it's great to be able to see a musician in the studio playing all the instruments on his own as his song comes together.
