We Learned More From A Three Minute Record returns for our second episode proper, tackling Springsteen's sophomore album The Wild The Innocent and the E-Street Shuffle. Very special guest Andrew Matey brings in sight and passion, and Kit and James reflect on the joys of exploring a work you don’t know very well from an artist you admire. Learn which fan favourite/classic will get each podcast member kicked out of The Boss Club for not liking, who Andrew considers to be the secret weapon of the first two records, and whether or not Kit will remember which numbered street is under discussion this time. Enjoy. We did.

Wanna Ramrod With You All Night Long. The amazing Neil McRobert rejoins James and Kit to give disk 2 of this double album the love and attention it deserves.

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true?

We're back on brand, back in Springsteen Country, and with very special guest Neil McRobert (author, journalist, reviewer, and host of the mighty Talking Scared podcast) in tow, it's finally time to dive into The River.

Breaking this behemoth album into two shows, tonight we talk Disk One, as well as our histories with the record, general remarks about the album as a whole, and Neil's Grand Unifying Spreinsteen Theory. Expect discussions of parental loss and elemental relationship fears alongside some entertaining differences of opinions, and discussion of whether or not this album contains the platonic ideal for the mother-in-law joke. Enjoy! Part 2 to follow shortly :)

In which James Murphy and Kit Power begin their deep dive into the studio albums of Columbia recording artist Bruce Springsteen.

With a startling lack of originality, we start at the beginning, taking in 1973s Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ. There's a bit of initial amused bafflement that this is the origin story for one of popular music's biggest and most reliable stadium fillers, but we also discover a lot to enjoy and ponder, especially on side 2, as well as some signposts towards future greatness. An enjoyable start to a keenly anticipated journey.
