Listen "Cassingle: The Maxi-Single"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textJeff had the idea to do "minisodes" to discuss random things we're digging and who knows what else. We're contrary and also nostalgic, so we decided to call them "cassingles." it's a way to share feedback we get about the episodes, things we got wrong, things we forgot about and maybe occasionally, some wisdom. For today's inaugural run, we read some feedback on our episode about the Wallflowers album Breach . We also wonder whether or not Allison Rapp will mention us in the future when she wins a Grammy. We discuss the pros and cons of how the flow of information has changed over the years and the lies that press kits contained in the '80s and '90s. Matt has a rom com recommendation and we talk about a cool project that Annie Dressner, one of our upcoming guests, is involved with.Cassingle Notes:Twitter "mail" and episode feedbackThe similarities between The Wallflowers' Breach and Pinkerton by WeezerThe story behind the interview featured our Wallflowers episodeSome fun MTV anecdotesThe pain of not knowing what is going on with your favorite artist prior to social mediaPress kits and that one time the Thompson Twins went to EgyptGiving albums you don't like time to growApproaching music without biasThe Allman Brothers Band in the '80s (a stray and somewhat random mention)Curiosity and "bad" albumsGood on Paper (Netflix)Green IceMichigan Rattlers - That Kind of LifeGreg CazJoan Osborne - Radio WavesDon Henley and Steely Dan's "Peg"Major Dudes: A Steely Dan CompanionThe New York Rock and Soul Revue - Live at the BeaconSteely Dan interviewsAnnie Dressner - Coffee at the Corner BarA Wizard, A True Star: Todd Rundgren in the Studio by Paul MyersTasty (for mice) Bee Gees cassingles and regrettable megamixesSupport the show
