Found a great new podcast
First off, great name:Bandsplain
What I already love so far is they mention a song….then they actually play it
Honestly, what drives me crazy about most music podcasts, is sometimes they might play a 5-second clip, but almost never a full song
well, the podcast is
over 2 hour long 5 hours long, so there is that
They really do deep dives, starting from the early and all the early branches and pull lots of cool related snippets of the band in real time
This episode on
Pavement is awesome
(felt like being in the car with Hutch circa 96)
Didn't know Malkmus and David Berman went to UVA in the 80s and did a radio show there!?
Its amazing they put out a 1000 copies of a self-released ep:
Slay Tracks and only mailed it to djs/record labels/record stores …and within months it's mentioned in Spin and the Wedding present records Box Elder in England and John peel is playing it on air
There was a funny story about how they record it and SS is in charge of getting this ep out to the masses and Stephen is back-packing across Europe and he hears his record store in Germany, just a few months later
Frontwards get a nice showcase
Other shows that are qued up: Lemonheads, Wilco, GnR, Misfits, Pixes, Minutemen, Hold steady, Fishbone, NIN, Weezer
Editorial note, this is on the evil spoitify and if you listen to this you support everything that is evil in the world and probably should just kill your self after reading this
