55. Bonus Episode: The Spiral Stairs Interview!

October 07, 2022 12:00 - 12 minutes - 11.3 MB

Back in December 2021, Spiral Stairs came on the show and rated Roxy Music with us (go check out Episode 9). Afterwards, we did a great little 12-minute interview with him that’s never been aired, & it’s chock full of essential off-topic hilarity…such as going to bar mitzvahs with a 13-year-old Malkmus back in Stockton; a gaggle of early band names; and the best & worst song he’s ever written.  It was supposed to be Patreon-only, but I s’pose Xmas came early.
