As Jay mentions at the top of this episode, we had some significant technical issues this episode and only managed to get the first 30min of the conversation… we’ll be back next week with a full episode.

Jay debuts a new game, “Yes, And.” Jay presents a theme and the contestants each have one minute to name things, back and forth, that fit that theme.

Song: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - “Dragon (Live in Lithuania)”

Nick has some news for us to catch up on, unfortunately we only hear the first half of it. Billy Joel cancels tour due to diagnosis & Emmy winning composer Alf Clausen has died at the age of 84.

Song: Pipe-Eye - “Chakra”

We’ve reached the magic month of June, and it feels like Summer has arrived. This time of year makes Keith nostalgic for the music released during our formative summers in the early-to-mid 90s.

Songs:

Primitive Radio Gods - “Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand”

Baz Lurman - “Everybody’s Free”

Greg brings a unique situation to the show this week. Pitchfork recently reviewed the album “Face Down in the Garden” by Tennis. Tennis, in turn, released a review of the review (sound familiar?) that went viral (nevermind). This week, we’re reviewing a Review the Review!

Song: Turnstile - “Lookout for Me”

Jay caught an amazing show at Merriweather Post Pavilion last week, it’s Tales from the Concert. Sturgill Simpson has been getting some serious cred from the jam band community and Jay explains why. Starting at precisely 8pm, Simpson, and his incredibly talented band, went on to play 3 straight hours without stopping between songs. The performance, according to Jay, was impeccable and the stamina of the band was an impressive feat in its own right. If you get a chance to see him on his next tour, definitely do so.

Song: Sturgill Simpson - “A Good Look (Live at Merriweather)”

Finally, what do you know about Eurovision? Nick knew next to absolutely nothing before seeing it in the headlines and reading up on it. Armed with about 30min of knowledge, he decided to quiz the guys on their familiarity with the 69 year old event via Viral or Eyeroll.

Song: Goose - “Thatch”

Nick catches us up on the news of the week. Zak Starkey is re-fired by The Who, BandCamp adjusts their terms and conditions, and Trump orders Springsteen investigated after The Boss criticized his administration on stage.

Song: Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - “Qwik Maff”

Greg first caught wind of Sleep Token back in 2022 and he had a feeling they were going places. Their latest album, Even in Arcadia, is now the number 1 album on Billboard 200 and that caught the attention of our good old friends at Pitchfork. This week, we’re back with a good old fashioned “Review the Review.”

Songs:

Sleep Token - “Emergence”

Sleep Token - “Past Self”

Jay was pondering Theseus’s Paradox on a recent drive (not really, but go with me on this) which is the thought experiment that questions the identity of an object over time when all of its parts are replaced. There are some touring bands that one could apply this question to, such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kansas, REO Speedwagon, Heart, and others. What do you think, is a band whose original members have all been replaced still the same band?
