Welcome to the lucky seventh episode of Blerd Radio, in which the special guest floodgates open.
The episode starts as per usual-with Mike and Jesse talking about…death. We tribute Clarence Clemons and (somewhat less so) “Jackass”‘s Ryan Dunn. Then, we jump into this week’s new releases-a little (well, a lot) of metal for Jesse, a little Jill Scott and Liam Finn for Mike. We are intermittently joined by Regina A.K.A. Mrs. Jesse (she has finally decided to lift her veil of secrecy!)
She joins fully around the 30-minute mark and is joined by her friend Julia. The two women try their hand at film critique, with a walk through “X Men: First Class” in which they uncover homoerotic subtext that I doubt many people would’ve noticed. Later in the episode, we are joined by 2/3 of the band Harbor Lights. This post-rock project, spearheaded by our own Andrew Diaz, is making waves around Boston, and just for you, we are including a free download of Harbor Lights’ “A Blessing” with this episode.
