Train - Save Me, San Francisco (w/ Emily Ruskowski and Jane Doe)
from Make it Stop: A Bad Music Podcast · host Heather Mack; Mike Dunn
This week our hearts are beating right out of our untrimmed chests as we take a ride on the monorail of monotony. Train drizzled onto the scene in 1998 with their humble hit "Meet Virginia" and followed that up with milquetoast smash "Drops of Jupiter" in 2001, but it wasn't until "Hey Soul Sister" that they truly wormed their way into every human being's hearts and minds as the corniest soft rockers on the planet. Comedian and returning guest Emily Ruskowski and Boston area burlesque performer Jane Doe join Heather and Mike to discuss the album that birthed "Hey Soul Sister", 2009's Save Me, San Francisco. Can they withstand this ultimate test of their aural fortitude against the unending torrent of ukulele riffs, dad jokes and tepid arrangements? Will they reveal the conspiracy that allowed Train to flourish as our mom's flip phone ring tones and made lead singer Pat Monahan run for a Senate seat in New Hampshire? You won't want to miss a single thing we do... tonight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
