Ralph Z joined us today for our first ever exclusively music podcast, focusing on a genre Ralph knows well -- the so-called alt-country. When I was in seventh grade, Ralph gave me two cassette tapes -- XtC's "Oranges & Lemons", and Robyn Hitchock & The Egyptians "Queen Elvis". To this day, those two albums are responsible for critically shaping my musical taste. (how terrifying is that?)
