Part 2 of my conversation with Brian Salvatore about musical blindspots. Brian listens to another Sloan album while I check out a second record from Ween.

Show notes:

  • Brian: Impressed with the progression of Sloan's sound

  • Jay: Hadn't heard anything from The Mollusk previously

  • Plenty of genre jumping

  • Nautical theme

  • Elements of prog, psych

  • Brian: My favorite Ween record

  • Ween varies playlists from show to show

  • Brian: Between the Bridges is steeped in the '70s: Big Star, Sweet, T. Rex, Fleetwood Mac

  • Interesting sequencing and flow

  • Confusing the title with Between the Buttons

  • Last Sloan album gave each band member a side's worth of songs

  • Brian: Almost exclusively listen to albums in full

  • Jay: Will listen to albums, but also use shuffle mode on iPod

  • Brian: Also listen to a lot of music on Spotify

  • Next up: Quebec for Jay, The Double Cross for Brian
