Ep 185: Glassjaw - Worship and Tribute. A Retrospective.
In episode 185 of the podcast, we’re rejoined by friend of the pod Shawn Robbins to discuss an all time album: Glassjaw - Worship and Tribute.
We talk our personal memories of the lead up, the way the album first hit us (and continues to), and how we feel about the music 21+ years later. There was nothing like Worship and Tribute in the moment, and we’d argue not much has changed. Classic.
We start the episode catching up with Shawn, as well as a brief discussion of the Teenage Wrist show Shawn saw and photographed last week in Boston for the Podioslave family.
