The Lemonheads - Evan Dando

Indie rock legend Evan Dando joins me in episode 130 to talk about The Lemonheads’ excellent new album, Love Chant — their first LP of originals in twenty years. We also discuss the Townes Van Zandt covers album he’s currently working on, his recently released memoir, Rumors of My Demise, and we delve into important creative influences past and present: Sylvia Plath, the Replacements, Big Star, Love, the mentorship he received from Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mascis, and more. Dando also answers a couple of fun guest questions submitted by our pals Adam Green (who co-wrote the song “Wild Thing” from the new album) and Ben Lee.
