Losing My Opinion

It's been a month, but the show is back! Longtime friend of the pod Adam Kastin (Weegee) joins back up with Thomas and Matt for a wild ride. Thomas opens with an ode to songs based on a I V IV chord structure, aka "Do So Fa". You know it when you hear it. Adam then spoils the poppy mood with a look at songs from literal death cults...https://weegeenyc.bandcamp.com/

Nashville country rocker Ry Jennings joins the show today! Thomas celebrates the wonder of Bob Marley and the Wailers - noting just many "alternate versions" of classic songs their catalog offers. Ry exposes the group to Nirvana for the first time. Not the grunge act, but a 60s band that is as psychedelic as it gets!

Thomas catches Matt during a brief reprieve from his May tour - they recount fun times from shows they've played thus far, while Matt buckles up for the remaining trip ahead. Thomas then asks if "On The Road Again" is truly the definitive touring song.
