Today's episode I have a great talk with John Leon. He is the guitarist and founding member of The Royal Arctic Institute, a great instrumental band from NY! And the album topic of discussion is Game Theory's Lolita Nation. I've never heard this band until now. So, this is one of those weird pairing's where the guest, influenced by this album of choice, isn't currently making music that sounds anything like the topic album. For a music lover, it's really not that weird, but if you like Game Theory, The RAI could be a bit of a stretch but try it out anyway. They have a new EP out and one that came out a year and day ago. Both of which were produced by James McNew of Yo La Tengo. You can get them here:
