Episode 234 - Head to Head: The Blackened Air vs You Follow Me by Nina Nastasia (Side B)

Download

It got pretty heavy last week, and whilst we’re not apologising for covering such weighty topics, we do understand that some levity is required. In the form of a mighty two hour opus about Nina Nastasia’s discography.

Yes, you read that right - this episode is two hours long. It is perhaps our longest single episode to date. Even though Nastasia has a smaller discography than many of the artists we’ve covered in the past, both Chris and Vicki had a lot to say about her work, so we just let the conversation flow.

We cover her entire career here, before doing deep dives on The Blackened Air and You Follow Me. There’s also a fair amount of hilarity too, which we absolutely won’t spoil for you, but suffice to say it really does address the balance after the sombre mood of last week’s episode.

What do you folks think? Is The Blackened Air her best record? Or is it You Follow Me? Or is it ANOTHER OPTION? Let us know!
