Summary

On this week's episode, Steve and Ian discuss a wide range of topics while acknowledging that neither is as good at music criticism as Jamie Lee Curtis (3:59). They dive into Steve's recent Bruce Springsteen live experience (23:24), the controversy over The Weeknd's new HBO show (34:18) and whether he's too big to cancel, the rumors about a possible reunion tour by The Hotelier (45:38), and the recent wave of dance-punk bands inspired by the mid-aughts (51:24).

The mailbag addresses the state of bands performing on late night television (9:03). Doesn't it seem like that golden era of a band killing it and then going viral with a late-night performance is over? It's been a while since it happened, right?

In Recommendation Corner (1:01:08), Ian recommends the latest album by Slowthai, Ugly, while Steve gives props to the brand new EP by Manchester Orchestra, The Valley Of Vision and the excellent new single by Ratboys, "Black Earth, WI."

0:28.0	My name is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host. He's an even better music
0:32.4	critic than Jamie Lee Curtis. Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you? I'm going to start going by Ian Lee Cohen now. That's
0:39.8	like my actual name and just when you say Jamie Lee Curtis, it flows so well. But I mean...
0:45.3	Your male name is Lee? Yeah, it is. Wow. That, okay, why isn't this your byline? That is an
0:51.7	awesome byline. Like, uh,, Ian Lee Cohen? It really flows.

Even if that's like sort of what they are, they kind of have to reflexively be insulted by that. Whoa, whoa, wait. So like, because I was, I was feeling good that I was going to bring up registered Nutritionist Day to you. Because we're recording, just to be clear, recording on Wednesday, March 8th, that is registered nutritionist day.
