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.

Peter Ames Carlin is here to discuss his new book, The Name of This Band is R.E.M., his background as a fledgling musician and culture writer, developing lovely rapports with Brian Wilson and Bruce Springsteen but not so much with Paul Simon, why he wanted to write a definitive book about the rather private R.E.M. and why they chose to participate only from a distance, the quiet manner in which R.E.M. broke up and also why they seem to be popping up a lot these days, Carlin’s forthcoming book about Springsteen, other future plans, and much more.
