Big Star's Chris Bell Soars Through The Cosmos | The Spindle
from WASTOIDS · host WASTOIDS
In the world of cult bands, Memphis power pop band Big Star reigns mythically. And while the former teen heartthrob Alex Chilton might be the first member who springs to mind, guitarist and songwriter Chris Bell figures heavily in the band's tragic saga. In this episode of The Spindle, John Howard and guest co-host Jason P. Woodbury drop the needle on Bell's 1978 single "I Am the Cosmos," b/w "You And Your Sister." Released in scant quantities by Car Records, an imprint founded by Chris Stamey of The dB's, the single balances Bell's mysticism with flesh and blood heartbreak. Let the tone arm down and learn more on this all new episode of The Spindle, and visit our sponsors Hello Merch to score Chris Bell merch via Omnivore Records and Ardent Music.
