The Check-In with Lou Barlow, The Folk Implosion

Lou Barlow is a singer, song-writer and founding member of Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoah  and The Folk Implosion.  Though known for his contribution to the "low fi" scene of the 80's and 90's, Lou has his roots in hardcore, punk and even the folk/country superstar Glen Campbell. 
   After a  20+ year break, The Folk Implosion (Lou Barlow and John Davis)  have released two new songs that without a doubt retain the pop/experimental beauty the duo achieved consistently in the past. Lou tells us what sparked the reunion.
   In this episode Lou also shares why he felt he should be worrying about his worrying, how a  couple of self help books got him through a challenging time and even motivated him to make a handful of holiday specials.  Joe and Lou talk hardcore,  crossover metal and most importantly,  Lou tells us why he's a 7seconds snob.  Joe and Lou share a couple tour stories and we hear the new Folk Implosion tunes.
