012. Turn On The Bright Lights feat. Nisa Neza May 03, 2022

This week we have writer, director, and host of the podcast Can't Take Me Anywhere, Nisa Neza graces us with her presence to talk about Interpol's cult debut Turn On The Bright Lights. We fill the void in your life discussing European cafe service, le cinéma, freedom onion soup, New Jersey (of course), Karen moves, Gen Z humor, student loan debt, things men should and shouldn't do, eulogizing Jimmy Webb, defining pop punk, categorizing AFI, the Wedding Trifecta, band tattoos, House of Vans, and Pamela. Andrew is rude to essential workers, gives a scene report, and is concerned for Dan's well-being. Dan gets cancelled for loving Ace of Base, and finds love and work in all the wrong places. Nisa dishes her deepest secret and auditions for a pop punk band. Most importantly, we ask the question "Is this ABBA?" // Follow us at @danbassini, @mysprocalledlife, @this.albanian.life and @runintotheground.
