This is Malcolm Glaubo. Last fall I launched the first season of Broken Record with my good

friends Rick Rubin and Bruce Hadlam. And now we're back for a second season, debuting March 26th.

We had a long talk with Quess Love and he told us about DJing Obama's last party at the White House.

I had planned to make my grand statement. I knew I was going to get a McArthur

Genius grant for the shit. Fail. We caught up with David Byrne to talk about protest music.

And why a Janel Mene's song about police brutality moved him so much that he closed shows on his last

tour with it. It doesn't scream out for justice. It just is a list of these names and saying

don't forget these people. These are people. And by putting out the names it becomes incredibly moving.

We went back to Nashville to spend time with one of our favorites Mary Gose.

Bruce said at the bass, Springsteen, I learned more from a four minute record than I ever did in school.

Music and songs have always been where I've found my story myself.

Vampire Weekends Ezra Canek told us about the band's new album and why he obsessed over fitting

the word daddy into a song. My dad used to play this old country song. It's about a little

fat kid who eats corn and taters. That's a real story that you're telling. Yeah, that's a real

song. Rolling, pulling, daddy's eating fattening. He wasn't fat jamming there. And we take a dive

into acapala music with pentatonics.

Conversations, arguments, stories, remembering old music, discovering new music,

broken record, season two from Pushkin Industries. Coming to your podcast feed on March 26th.
