What happens when an artist makes a song no one expected them to make? That is the question posited by Andy and Alex, aka NJ new wave band Sailor Boyfriend, who join Steve and Dave for a discussion of the random choices artists make and why they make them. Why did rock stars keep trying to rap in the 80s? What is Charli XCX's legacy in pop music? Why did Rush decide to sell out 20 years into being a popular band? All that, plus the worst cover of a Velvet Underground song you could ever hear, await you. Check out Sailor Boyfriend's music on Bandcamp and Spotify!
