Brendan Canty, Joe Lally, James Brandon Lewis, and Anthony Pirog return for a Valentine’s Day discussion about Deface the Currency, the excellent new album by The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis, what led them into a studio with engineer Don Godwin fresh off of some tour dates, the noisier, aggressive aspects of this record, social currency and community-building in music, the significance of the names of their instrumental songs, my dog Indiana Bones, how authenticity is freedom, exciting updates about their individual pursuits, upcoming tour dates, other future plans, and much more!

Kim Thayil from Soundgarden, 3^rd Secret, and Nudedragons is here to discuss how the roots of Sub Pop and Seattle’s sound are in Illinois, growing up as Indian guys in a rather white underground rock world, his foreword for the new Lollapalooza book and the festival’s positive and negative impacts on independent culture, the story behind 3^rd Secret, whether people got Soundgarden’s sense of humour, if Soundgarden’s members will play together again, fascinating updates about yet-to-be released Soundgarden material recorded before Chris Cornell’s tragic death, Cornell’s remarkable coordination as a singer playing complicated guitar parts, future plans, and much more.
