We’re joined by Doug MacMillan, vocalist for the great North Carolina  band The Connells. Crucial matters discussed include: how Doug met the Connell brothers in the early 80’s and their rocky path to getting started; working with the amazing Mitch Easter (producer of R.E.M.’s early records); their unlikely success in Germany; our mutual love of The Replacements and Guided by Voices; the band’s current return to recording and touring and their great new album, Steadman’s Wake; and much more.

*Please forgive the occasional buzzing. It stopped before we could figure out what it was.
