Part 3 of my conversation with guest Brian Salvatore as we discuss musical blindspots: I dig into George Harrison's Brainwashed and Brian checks out Living Colour's Stain. Listen to the episode below or download directly.
Show notes:
- Jay: George Harrison's posthumous release
- Never heard anything from this on the radio
- Took repeated listens for it to click
- Ends with George and his son chanting together
- Harrison's solo work after first album is noticeably flawed
- Harrison worked on this album for 14 years
- Jeff Lynne production doesn't overwhelm Brainwashed
- Jay: All three solo Beatles albums I listened to were good
- Brian: The third Living Colour record is more aggressive
- Very angry, dark album
- Timely lyrical themes that would work today
- Doug Wimbish brings a different sound to Living Colour
- Industrial sounding, lots of sampling
- Band split up in '95
- Album was out of print for years after a lawsuit over its name
- Watching rock stars age is strange
- Robert Plant's stayed true to himself
- Next up: Jay will explore the Mountain Goats catalog, Brian will check out Buffalo Tom

Part
3 of my conversation with Brian Salvatore about musical blindspots.
Brian listens to another Sloan album while I check out a third record
from Ween. Listen to the episode below or download directly.
Show notes:
-Win-win situation
- Brian had Sloan's "The Double Cross" and Jay had Ween's "Quebec"
- Brian: My favorite of the three I listened to
- Beatles comparisons
- Brian will go back and check out rest of Sloan catalog
- No solo albums, but Murphy had TUNS project
- Jay: Really enjoyed Quebec
- Most cohesive of the three Ween albums Jay heard
- Dean and Gene were dealing with some issues
- "If You Could Save Yourself (You'd Save Us All)" is an epic album closer
- Next up: Jay will listen to Frank Zappa and Brian will check out Iron Maiden
