The forgotten episode: Sounding like The Black Keys, tape delay nerdiness, and music we love
Join Ashley and Chris on this short, sharp, sweltering episode as they chat about the music they've loved recently. Plus, Chris succeeds in his mission of replicating the sound of Kurt Cobain's guitar on 'Come As You Are', and Dan Auerbach's guitar on 'Gold on the Ceiling' by The Black Keys. Chris also shows us a proper valuable tape delay, tells us the story behind it, and explains why they're pretty damn cool. AND! If you're in the Berlin area, check out Chris LIVE with his band on 28 August as part of the Heningsdorf festival. Music in this episode
