On this episode, the Aimee Mann discussion continues with her fantastic album, Bachelor No. 2, or the Last Remains of the Dodo, which is impossible to talk about without also discussing its relationship to Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia, and the major label consolidation going on in the recording industry. (There's an article that The New York Times ran about Mann's record label run-in which makes for very interesting reading(https://nyti.ms/2sC1kxR).)

My guest is writer and What the Fork? co-host, Jason Keil. Jason is a regular contributor to The Phoenix New Times and PHOENIX Magazine, and you can follow him on Twitter @jasonekeil. Perhaps more importantly, though, he got to see Aimee Mann open for Squeeze back in 2008, something of which I am immensely jealous.

As always, I want to stress the importance of supporting the artists that are featured on this series, whether that’s through buying their music and merch, attending one of their concerts, or even simply following them on social media. Visit http://aimeemann.com/, and follow @aimeemann on Twitter
