Soul Coughing founder Mike Doughty tells it like it is.

"Illegal file sharing saved my life," Doughty tells Spinner when he stopped by the Interface to perform a few tunes from his new album, 'Golden Delicious.' "When I got out of Soul Coughing, I had a record called 'Skittish' that had never been released. But somebody put it out there and I was able to go out and play shows. People knew the songs and they brought me burned CDs for me to sign which was trippy -- signing your own bootleg."

Doughty also made no bones about who he's supporting in the upcoming presidential election. Find out who, plus his five-song performance, after the jump.
