You know, attempting to cover off on every song that made it into every triple j hottest 100 countdown, it takes a lot of time. That's why we don't mess around. We get straight to it. We keep our conversations lean and to the point- and no episode better demonstrates that than this one. Ben Harper makes us question the merits of beat boxing. Custard allows us to examine reflexive irony and band identity. Skunkhour shows us how audience feedback can be a driving force for creative confidence. It's just solid music talk. Nothing else. Nope. Eyes on the prize.
