Completely Conspicuous 467: Dig for Fire (Ween vs. Sloan, part 2)

Part 2 of my conversation with Brian Salvatore about musical blindspots. Brian listens to another Sloan album while I check out a second record from Ween. Show notes: - Brian: Impressed with the progression of Sloan's sound - Jay: Hadn't heard anything from The Mollusk previously - Plenty of genre jumping - Nautical theme - Elements of prog, psych - Brian: My favorite Ween record - Ween varies playlists from show to show - Brian: Between the Bridges is steeped in the '70s: Big Star, Sweet, T. Rex, Fleetwood Mac - Interesting sequencing and flow - Confusing the title with Between the Buttons - Last Sloan album gave each band member a side's worth of songs - Brian: Almost exclusively listen to albums in full - Jay: Will listen to albums, but also use shuffle mode on iPod - Brian: Also listen to a lot of music on Spotify - Next up: Quebec for Jay, The Double Cross for Brian Completely Conspicuous is available through the iTunes podcast directory.
