The boys are back! And they’re here to discuss Aerosmith’s 1997 studio album, Nine Lives. But first, they fix the crummy job they did of introducing you to this project.

In this first(!) episode of Pop/Rock, Shawn and Cameron discuss the 2000 blues compilation album Absolutely the Best of Blues, Vol 2. Cameron took a Blues History class in college, and Shawn has a lot of strong feelings about the piano, so you can count on some very passionate and informed analysis. Also, tips for getting your parents to send you stuff!
