• S8E432 - Jon Brion 'Meaningless' with Tate Brooks and Silas Lourenco Lang

  This week we're joined by Tate Brooks and Silas Lourenco Lang (two-thirds of the New Haven, CT band The Problem With Kids Today) as we unpack Jon Brion's long lost debut album, 'Meaningless'. Initially released independently by Brion in 2001 on his own "Straight to Cut-Out" label and sold through his website and CD Baby, it finally became more widely available in 2022 when it was re-released on Jealous Butcher Records. This collection of catchy power-pop tunes are a perfect representation of what Brion eventually brought to the production and film-score work he became most well-known for. Songs discussed in this episode: I Believe She's Lying (Jon Brion cover) - Rhett Miller; Take It!, Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick Star - The Problem With Kids Today; Very Best Years - The Grays; I Should've Known - Aimee Mann; Gotta Start Somewhere, I Believe She's Lying, Meaningless, Ruin My Day, Walking Through Walls, Trouble, Hook, Line and Sinker - Jon Brion; Try Again - Big Star; Dead To The World, Her Ghost, Same Mistakes - Jon Brion; Voices - Cheap Trick; Voices (Cheap Trick cover) - Jon Brion; Ace Starchild - The Problem With Kids Today
