This week on the podcast: We can’t stop the plugs! One of our favorite music writer lifers —Michael Tedder!— joins us to talk about his new(ish) book “Top Eight: How MySpace Changed Music” (published by Chicago Review Press, by the way). We also argue/chat about his old(er) articles, Boston (the town not the band), Harvey Danger, the Oughts, Jann Wenner and his beef, Stereogum (that’s a plug), the quaint ‘90s dilemma of selling out, SPIN gaffes, and the magical music year that was 2003. WARNING: This episode doubles as a drinking game. Use caution!
