Episode #296: Nostalgia Concerts, 74 Albums from 1974, Interstellar Soundtrack

The Next Track

Show Notes

Apparently "nostalgia concerts," where bands play full albums, have become common; not everyone likes this idea. Rolling Stone made a list of the "best" 74 albums of 1974. And we discuss movie soundtracks, with specific reference to Hans Zimmer's music for Interstellar.
