  • Summary

  • A deep dive behind the music and philosophy of the NYC art rock band BODEGA. BODEGA BEN breaks down each track from their new album 'Our Brand Could be Yr Life', exploring the theme of the record: the current state of underground rock music. Together with guests and friends including Bodega Bay members and current collaborators, they dissect the story behind the music.


    In the ninth episode, Ben interviews Bodega Bay bass player Tom Miller about his musical life and his contribution to the track ‘Set the Controls for the Heart of the Drum.’ Topics discussed include Tom’s classical childhood, Animal Collective, hair metal and indie hedonism, Steve Hanley and The Fall, repetition as an aesthetic strategy, authenticity, Pink Flag and Pink Floyd, ‘Ode to Drum’, DIY yuppies, swing and iambic pentameter, and the utopia of having a dedicated creative friend circle.
