got into them because i got into big star because i started working at the studio they both recorded at.

Chris might've been thinking of Big Star/Alex Chilton here.  British invasion filtered through a little Memphis soul sound.  Huge influence on them and as you touched on later, they recorded Pleased to Meet Me in Memphis with the song Alex Chilton, and with Chilton himself playing guitar on Can't Hardly Wait

Hey now!, Hot ones is pretty good, and red letter media, and there's an ASMR girl who acts like you're girlfriend and tells you that she doesn't care that yr 40 and still work @ Boston Market....yeah I guess that's about it.

TEASER -- Hardcore AndersLee: The Andersnistas w/ Bryn Niebor

In this one we profile one of the most successful men on Wall Street, Bernie Madoff. We go from his early hardscrabble years trading penny stocks with his earnings from working as a lifeguard to his meteoric rise as one of the most successful and respected men in finance, netting consistent returns of 15-20%. We were particularly inspired by this man's story and hope you will be too.
