Show Notes

Big Star drummer and founding members Jody Stephens, R.E.M.'s Mike Mills, Wilco's Pat Sansone, and Jon Auer of The Posies join Paul for a discussion of The Big Star Quintet (a supergroup which also includes Chris Stamey of The dB's) as they keep the music of Big Star alive on the 50th Anniversary tour for Big Star's second album, Radio City (available at your local independent record store from Stax/Craft Recordings).

It's another "bucket list" interview that you'll only hear on the Record Store Day Podcast. *Special thanks to Jon Auer for making this happen.

And RSD co-founder Carrie Colliton returns to talk about her busy fall concert schedule from our East Coast office in Raleigh, North Carolina.
