Shownotes

Instead of skipping straight to Mellon Collie, Nick is forcing Austin to wrestle with the band's 1994 b-side album, Pisces Iscariot. Does it, as Nick suggests, transcend its b-side album status and deserve to be a regular album? Or is this a wasteful diversion that sours Austin on the band? Nick begins with a thorough lesson on the history of the b-side album. They split on Plume, and then ponder important stuff like why Phish fans are so nice. Thanks for listening.
