Max is rattling down streets in a Fender humming panic. His Princeton is on the outs, more whole lotta nothing than whole lotta love. We make a call, so he puts the car in idle to cough up half remembered dreams while New York leaks past the windshield in streaks.

Cut Worms are gearing up for another North American odyssey in support of “Transmitter,” and he talks to us live from the driver’s seat about the great American rock existentialists, Chilton, Westerberg, Elliott Smith, and beyond.

So join us on the journey. It’s Holden Caulfield drifting through a Peter Hujar afternoon, where everyone and everything looks beautiful and doomed at the same time.

We love you, Max.

We reclaim the word LEGIT for the way WE like to make music. The Beatos and Colliers of the world be damned. Also on this episode: a round of "Funny / Not Funny"...a new way to decide if bands are good or not.

In one of the great pleasures of our podcasting lives, we are joined by the ever charming and inspiring Madison Cunningham to discuss her incredible new record, "Ace".
