It's another Birthday Episode! James and Connor (they used to call us Junebug and Jester) are talking about one of James' must-know albums: We All Want The Same Things, the third solo album from The Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn! His effortless worldbuilding introduces us to a whirlwind of characters who are down on their luck and looking for something to hope for. From the disorienting progress of Preludes to the sting of divorce in Be Honest, no stone is left unturned. The Mixtaper will wax poetic about Walt Whitman, spill the tea about teapots, and introduce us to a new (and impossible) birthday matching game! If you've never been to Chicago and you've got nothing going on tomorrow... maybe you can listen to this episode tonight. Sit back, relax, and widen out the angle for all of Craig Finn's Tracking Shots.
