“Beta love” is a first time caller out of California who hilariously talks about his marriage with a crazy wife who threatens to divorce him over every argument. Jesse asks Beta Love how long they have been married and Beta Love says he tries not to think about it lol. Beta Love has grown numb to his wife’s mess. Jesse and Beta Love crack up talking about the situation. Hilarious call.

Ra Ra Riot started out as a baroque pop or orchestral pop band fronted by singer Wes Miles amazing voice. In 2013, the band released Beta Love, a record which left the baroque pop sound behind and went in a new direction, towards something more electro pop. As you can imagine, Beta Love was polarizing and not popular with a small but vocal segment of the band's fanbase. I enjoyed Beta Love and was very interested to hear what the next step in the band's evolution would sound like. In early 2016, the band released Need Your Light. I hung out with the band's singer Wes in Ra Ra Riot's busy tour van and we talked. What is the unlikely secret from Wes' past in school? What was it like working with Rostam Batmanglij (from Vampire Weekend) on the new record? How did the band navigate the rocky waters of change and growth? Which is Wes' favorite track on Ra Ra Riot's first record The Rhumb Line? How much does Wes love U2's 1991 album Achtung Baby? You have to listen to find out! (I even get him to sing a bit.) Tracks played on the show... 1) Ra Ra Riot, Need Your Light (2016) "Water" 2) Ra Ra Riot, Need Your Light (2016) "Absolutely" 3) Ra Ra Riot, The Rhumb Line (2008) "St Peter's Day Festival" (mp3) 4) Ra Ra Riot, Beta Love (2013) "Beta Love" (background) 5) Ra Ra Riot, Need Your Light (2016) "I Need Your Light" (mp3) NO songs CANCON
On today's episode I talk to Wes Miles of the indie rock band Ra Ra Riot. Originally from New Jersey, Wes has been playing music for most of his life. Ra Ra Riot formed in January 2006, playing at houses and venues around the Syracuse University campus. After recording a demo, they started to attract attention, eventually getting signed to Barsuk Records, who's released all four of their albums The Rhumb Line, The Orchard, Beta Love, and their latest Need Your Light (all are very worth your time!). On the side, Wes has released an album with former-Vampire Weekend-er Rostam Batmanglij under the name Discovery. It is also awesome!

Ra Ra Riot is a NY university party-born band known for mixing indie pop with lush string arrangements. They invaded iPods around the same time as band besties Vampire Weekend. Ra Ra Riot's latest release, Beta Love, dives headfirst into the highly processed world of synthetic electro-pop. The reception to this career move can be charitably described as mixed, with most long-term fans wondering what the hell happened. As a fan, I can understand the concern over this change, but you can't blame a band for wanting to grow. Eager to talk about all of this, I managed to lure Mat from the band away from the catering at the club. I get him to talk about the direction change in depth and much more. Tracks played on the show... 1) Ra Ra Riot, Beta Love “Beta Love” 2) Ra Ra Riot, The Orchard “Boy” 3) Ra Ra Riot, The Orchard “Too Dramatic” 4) Ra Ra Riot, Beta Love “Dance With Me” NO songs CANCON
