Kevin Kane (Kane and Potvin, The Grapes of Wrath) joins Cam and Sammy for a fun chat about the Velvet Underground’s 1970 sorta “swan song” Loaded. Not only do we dive deep into comparing the Velvets’ experimental vs. populace leanings, we also manage to cram in mentions of Kanye West, Stan Getz and Throbbing Gristle. A first!

kevinkane-001

Bryan Potvin (Kane and Potvin, The Northern Pikes) joins Cam and Sammy to offer “thoughts and prayers” to the eclectic double album by the Beatles, 1968’s The White Album. This podcast is great because we not only dive deep into why double albums can be cool, we also dive deep into why bands with three singers can be cool. 50% Beatles talk, 50% “other”.
