Listen "“Can’t Stop”—The Red Hot Chili Peppers"
Episode Synopsis
Rob initiates this week’s show by waxing poetic on the mortality of his musical idols and the treasure trove of emotional tribute songs that proliferated after the tragic passing of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. His insightful homage leads perfectly into a loving soliloquy on the chaotic beauty of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' catalog, particularly their gigantic hit from 2002, “Can’t Stop.” Rob is then joined by both members of English pop duo the Ting Tings, who not only share his infatuation with bassist Flea’s instrumental prowess but also cite the RHCP's unbridled artistic vision as a major influence on their music.
