Summary
Steven and Ian open this week with an extended dialogue about an ongoing war at concerts, especially ones featuring aging artists -- the "sit down!" people vs. the "I'm not gonna sit down!" people (0:55). Who is right, and how can this be resolved? This also do a "yay or nay" on The Lemonheads, whose frontman Evan Dando has a new memoir out (11:44). Then they answer listener emails about college radio (19:12), the proper set length time (31:22), the preponderance of "deluxe" editions for recent indie releases (40:35), and the first "great" indie album (48:05).
In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the band Some Images Of Paradise and Steven reflects on the 1977 British documentary All You Need Is Love: The Story Of Popular Music (53:44).
