Paul Simon vs. Blue Öyster Cult (feat. Chris Remo) CrossFade: The Dueling Album Review Show
-
- Music Commentary
Chris Remo (Valve, Campo Santo, Gone Home, Firewatch, and the Idle Thumbs podcast) joins CrossFade for a discussion of “Graceland,” Paul Simon’s controversial career-boosting 1986 record, and why it took him until his 30s to finally like it. Matt gains another inductee to the cult of Blue Öyster Cult with their 1974 psych-rock “Secret Treaties,” which proves they were more than a one-hit wonder. Our community segment gets Chris talking about podcasting, the Fender Rhodes, and the best game soundtracks you haven’t heard!
