“I have been casually listening to bands like kraftwerk or can, or even avidly listening to dead kennedys or public image ltd for years. But until you guys started putting these biographies together I struggled to put my finger on what the “it” was that made these groups so significant. Hearing the stories of the formulative moments or relationships that helped bear the fruits of the modern (and classical/traditional) music that we love so much, in a linear story has really completely changed the way I listen to the these artists and added a ton of their influences to my library of music. When the show began I had no idea the gap that punk and its ideology would bridge to such a diverse spread of artists, even though now it seems obvious. I knew John cage mattered from talking to the analog synthesizer nerd at work, but then you explain the scope of his influence and suddenly I’m able to actually listen to 4:33..thank you guys, you rock. Love the show, love the network, godspeed”
