MP65 - Getting Tweedy With It - The Sun Came Out


Listen Later

This is it - we've reached the last of the Jeff Tweedy side-projects (the remaining albums in this series are all Tweedy solo/solo-ish), and it's the best one! THE SUN CAME OUT is the result of what happens when New Zealand pop music icon Neil Finn (Crowded House/Split Enz) gathers together 20 musicians at his studio in Auckland to record an album over 20 days, and what a result! Plus, Jared gives his hot take on THIS IS 40, and we introduce a possible podcast goldmine, John Lith-now: The John Lithgow Career Retrospective.


Recommendations:

Jared - THE ASK (a novel by Sam Lipsyte)

Jason - Haley Heynderickx, Y La Bamba, and Begonia (here's the link to Jason's column in Phoenix Magazine that Jared didn't read)


No social media, so it'd be great if you help the show by rating, reviewing, and recommending - cheers!
