My Chemical Romance vs. Deerhoof (feat. Blake Hester)
My Chemical Romance’s breakthrough “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge” and Deerhoof’s “Apple O’” don’t sound anything alike, but they both represent outsider music in their own ways. In today’s episode, Matt explains why Deerhoof tickles his earhoof and Blake tries to explain what it was like to hear MCR for the first time as a churchgoing 10-year-old. Our community also asked Matt and Blake great questions about touring stories, beating your favorite song to death, and what emo music did for millennial perceptions of masculinity. Thanks for listening!
