Show Notes
- BOY ARE WE EXCITED FOR A NEW STAR WARS MOVIE!!!!!! We talk about Star Wars.
- Thomas gives a shoutout to Kevin Devine and all the artists that performed with him over the weekend as we celebrated the Devinyl Splits series.
- Listener questions:
- Can we rank the Star Wars films? Yes, okay, sure.
- Should bands provide a set list of what they played at a show?
- Bonfires, a band on Thomas’s label, had their vocalist depart from the band while they were planning to release an EP in early 2016. Instead, they decided to release it for pay-what-you-want today, so we talk about the strategy and challenges behind that.
- The Starting Line are going to release a new song. It’s since been released.
- Brian Fallon releases a new song, “A Wonderful Life.” Lots of excitement for this record (Painkillers, out March 11).
