If you listened to our last show, we talked about either starting a new podcast or reformatting this one, and we settled on … reformatting this one. By which we just mean that we’re going to expand the topics we talk about.
With that in mind, this week’s episode focuses primarily on the music we’re listening to now. I Jennifer’s case, it’s Lollapalooza sensation Chappell Roan, and in David’s case its Jesse Malin, who suffered a rare spinal stroke in 2023 and is working his way back to the stage.
Along the way, we talk about an interesting phenomenon in music these days, namely: older artists reflecting back on their lives and contemplating where they’re headed now. We’re used to the live fast, die young mentality, but were we prepared for the live fast, die old generation?
You’ll have to listen in to find out more, but we have to give a shout out the the Jesse Malin benefit album, Silver Patron Saints, featuring 35 artists collaborating with him on 27 of his best songs, including Bruce Springsteen, Lucinda Williams, Elvis Costello, Cait O’Riordan, Susanna Hoffs, Billie Joe Armstrong, Spoon, the Wallflowers, Graham Parker, and Alejandro Escovedo. Read more about it here, and please consider supporting Sweet Relief.
