Podcast: Play in new window | Embed
This week we get the band back together to talk about The Black Keys and their latest album, Turn Blue! Tony and Brent discuss their discography, Danger Mouse, and make warranted (but also unwarranted) comparisons to other contemporary bands. We also start a new hashtag trend, connect the band to Linkin Park, and pick on Brent, who redefines the meaning of turning blue.
Guests:
Tony Gao – “#fuckdangermouse”
Brent Peckham – “Completely listenable”
