Life's not a bummer when you're discussing the first side of Siamese Dream. This episode, Nick and Austin dig into two epics and two singles — one saturated in Big Muff and the other with string. Along the way, Austin discusses proper guitarist handwear, while Nick finds a way to bring up Paul McCartney again. Special thanks to Eric Evans, who recorded bass on these tracks and orchestrated "Disarm."
