Dan is too kind. Every episode of @lifeoftherecord.bsky.social is a treasure trove of information.
Honored that Life of the Record makes an appearance in @chrisdeville.bsky.social’s fantastic book Such Great Heights. I've been a big fan of Chris's writing for a long time so it means a lot to be included in this essential indie rock history. Check it out: us.macmillan.com/books/978125...
