Our friend and host of the podcast Are We On Air? had us on as a guest recently to talk about How Long Gone, and the music that shaped us growing up. It's a fun listen with tons of music so we decided to add it to the feed. Here's Arman's intro for the episode:Turn on, tune in, drop out! CHRIS BLACK and JASON STEWART join Arman for a little tête-à-tête that will feel like time is slipping like sand through an hourglass.Tuning in from the leafy suburbs of Glendale, the boys use their well-honed cultural commentary skills to go through their character-defining musical choices. But make no mistake: in classic HOW LONG GONE fashion, each choice is infused with the nonchalant ease that CHRIS and JASON have already accustomed us to.Be it JASON making the case on the advantages of exclusivity - "When it's so homogeneous, there's so little to clamp on to, that it identifies you with no identity" - or CHRIS reflecting on how the evolution of music distribution shapes music fandom and the underlying culture that stems from it - "Today's low barrier of entry to music access changes the perception, the fandom and the tribes that genres create" -, CHRIS and JASON leave no question unattended.
