The Music of Now, with Tanlines

On today's episode, Josh is joined by his brother, Eric Emm, and their good friend Jesse Cohen. Eric and Jesse are better known collectively as the band Tanlines, and they've just released a fantastic new record called 'The Big Mess' after a multi-year hiatus. What has become of the music industry? Do the songs we listen to still drive culture? Is the artist you love shaping your identity, or are you simply a product of The Machine? All this and more will be explored... if you... listen. Discussed: Portnoy's Complaint, battle of the bands, Michael Mann's 'Heat.'See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
