Sam Nicholson from the Australian indie-rock band Quivers is here to discuss their brilliant Merge Records debut, Oyster Cuts, life in Tasmania and down under, an inadvertent Pavement allusion and recent encounter with Mark Ibold, how Quivers wound up on Merge and Sam’s affection for Calgary’s Chad VanGaalen, surviving cancer as a child and hanging out with Ringo Starr from the Liverpool-based band, the Beatles, covering grief, joy, telephones, technology, and more in his songs, the Wiggles and music inclusivity, when Quivers played Guelph and I wasn’t there, current and future tour dates in North America and beyond, other future plans, and much more.

Steven Hyden discusses his excellent new book, There Was Nothing You Could Do: Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Born in the U.S.A.’ and the End of the Heartland, the state of music and cultural criticism, how film critics have long had more cachet than music critics, the various and confusing ambiguities in the work and life of an American like Bruce Springsteen, how the Boss rejected his most successful album and got lost in the 1990s just as Nirvana were rejecting their own most successful album, why Springsteen’s narrative voice became more inward, why he and America were never the same after Born in the U.S.A., a fascinating alternate history of Bruce events, Steven’s tour dates, other future plans, and much more.
