Kyle Meredith talks with Paul McCartney about the science behind his songwriting, the redemption of Wings, and his life outside of music, all set to the soundtrack of one of the greatest musicians of all time.

A soundtrack of U2's new album, Songs Of Innocence, and a few older favorites, serves as the undercurrent in this interview with The Edge and Adam Clayton talking with Kyle Meredith during their Innocence + Experience Tour.

Ask me who the greatest artist to come out of the past decade and I’ll tell you St. Vincent without a doubt.  She’s not only produced some of the most exciting and unique music, but you should also count her as one of the best guitar players in the game, comparable to Prince.  And to talk to?  She’s top of that game as well, which is what makes this interview so much fun.

Have you  heard the new Iggy Pop album, Post Pop Depression? Not only is it one of the best records of the year, it’s also one of his greatest albums ever, no easy feat for a guy that helped start punk rock, wrote some of the greatest songs of the 70s, and eventually found himself in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It also doesn’t hurt that the new record was produced and co-written by Josh Homme, the Queens of the Stone Age frontman with his own lifetime worth of accolades. And me? I’ve got both of them sitting down together.

When Jamie Hince lost the use of his finger for a while a few years back, it definitely put up a few question marks for how The Kills would proceed. He is a guitarist afterall. Luckily, some time was being bought thanks to Alison Mosshart’s involvement in The Dead Weather, giving Jamie some time to heal, and eventually work on what would become their new record, Ash & Ice

Jim James phoned into Kyle Meredith's show to talk about his new record, Eternally Even, and talking with each other to close the national divide, as well as news on the next My Morning Jacket record.

If you were a 120 Minutes on MTV obsessive like I was, you’ll remember the band Velvet Crush. Their 1994 breakthrough, Teenage Symphonies To God, featured the song “Hold Me Up,” which got some great buzz bin play on the channel. These days, the duo spend their time backing Matthew Sweet in his band, but with 2016 marking their 25th anniversary, they gave their landmark album the deluxe treatment with a standalone disc of demos, lost takes, and live cuts called Pre-Teen Symphonies. I gave Ric Menck a call to get all of the details, and a little reminiscing.

LYRICS
It’s always the same as always
It’s a game that we play, no one’s safe

Maximize all the pleasure
Even with all this weather
Nothing can make it better
Maximize all the pleasure

Does sex even sell any more?
I feel like I’ve seen it all
Or maybe I’m just old
Or maybe I’m just bored

Maximize all the pleasure
Even with all this weather
Nothing can make it better
Maximize all the pleasure

Cuz this world makes a lot of noise for me 
Makes it hard for me to hear what I’m thinking 
Sometimes I don’t understand what I say 
So it’s fine if you gotta get away

Ordinary Pleasure
