This week’s THIRI guest is Johnny Marr. Johnny is truly one of the all-time great rock and roll guitarists, and has created a musical body of work that has very few rivals.

We talked about all of that as well as his emotional response to colors, “street bands”, the life-changing moment of buying The Stooges’ Raw Power LP, and the time The Smiths met Van Halen.

Bob Mould Nov 01, 2023

This week on That’s How I Remember It, I am thrilled to host an absolute hero of mine, Bob Mould. In his seminal '80s band Husker Du, in the '90s with Sugar, and across all decades as a solo artist, Bob is an artistic force that shows no signs of slowing down. We talked about '60s pop music, taking guitar lessons, visiting The Replacements Tim sessions, the 1984 Village Voice Pazz & Jop poll, and writing a memoir before releasing five more albums. Huge thanks to Bob Mould for being awesome. Listen and subscribe to hear even more great guests coming up.
