Customer Reviews
Great way to keep up with things stateside
Really enjoyable romp through whats going on in music with a consistently high standard of guest. The focus is heavily on independent and classic rock (but with some hip hop and R&B getting the occasional look in). Presenters Jim & Greg are enjoyably opinionated and take a strong line on how the recording industry is shooting itself in the foot (but could sometimes let their guests get a word in edgeways a little more!). As a UK listener I find it very useful to get some intelligence on what US bands are coming through.
High quality music podcast
The best music podcast I have found. I listen to mostly American music, and it is enjoyable to hear them cut through the hype surrounding British pop singers like Adele and Duffy, who are praised disproportionately in the Uk. They have a deep knowledge of musical history, and save for the occasional bit of pretentiousness, I have the utmost respect for their opinions
