Definitely check this episode out as you may be surprised by your favorite scene hosts' opinions on this topic. The crew also discusses the news from around the scene which includes artists being upset about the new Twitter retweet functionality, how Nirvana's Nevermind album wouldn't have the same effect if released today as it did 30 years ago, a lifeline thrown to music venues and how Hayley Williams hits out against an ex-bandmate's alleged homophobic comments. Finally, find out what the three of them recommend you check out this week.
