This was great to watch, especially considering there has always been a local rumor of a 'rift' between the two camps for years.
I know it shouldn't matter, but I'm actually pretty bummed Nate feels so negatively about Aim & Ignite. That album is so important to me, it feels weird to hear the artist say, "Yeah, not for me."
Aim an Ignite was his best piece of work he’s ever released, in my opinion. He seems worn out and not interested in music in general right now at all. Surprised how high he is on his solo record though. Harsh Light was the only song I was ever fond of in the slightest and it was basically a fun. song.
With the mark podcast I felt a little underwhelmed, but yet I actually enjoyed the Nate one. To hear what’s in nates brain about writing and why he feels uninspired to write connected with me. Haven’t really been a huge follower of his bands, but I respect the hell out of his accomplishments.
Jim is really good at this. I actually really enjoyed Mark's episode, even though he was a bit guarded. But Jim is great at keeping things light while drawing a bit of mystery out of these artists. Really hoping this keeps going.
