I Never Had A New Kids on The Block Record—I Was Listening to The Smiths

The podcast is back again—the second episode of the sixth season, and the 32nd episode overall, and Kevin welcomes independent music legend Anna-Lynne Long (Née Williams) to the virtual building. You might know her from her long running solo project, Lotte Kestner; you might know her as the frontwoman from the cult favorite Trespassers Williams; you might know her from a bunch of other things as well. 

They chop it up about how combining shoegaze and folk sounds like a disaster, why Kate Bush can be scary, the "Twin Peaks" tour in Seattle, and the collection of nine tunes Anna-Lynne selected to bring onto the show. 

It's also a great time to mention that she has a NEW ALBUM due out on February 11th! Her first since 2017, Lost Songs will be available on CD, as well as streaming services.
