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.

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.

Post date February 13, 2024

Aparna Nancherla discusses her return to standup and public life after taking time away to write a book of personal essays called Unreliable Narrator: Me, Myself, and Imposter Syndrome, when interviewers don’t engage with the things you make, being the child of immigrants and first generation anxiety, keeping up South Asian appearances, familial mental health stigmas and acceptance, an unforgettable joke, performing at JFL Vancouver on February 16 and 17, and much more.
