#302 - News with Nick | Review the Review: Sleep Token | Theseus’s Band

Nick catches us up on the news of the week. Zak Starkey is re-fired by The Who, BandCamp adjusts their terms and conditions, and Trump orders Springsteen investigated after The Boss criticized his administration on stage.

Song: Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - “Qwik Maff”

Greg first caught wind of Sleep Token back in 2022 and he had a feeling they were going places. Their latest album, Even in Arcadia, is now the number 1 album on Billboard 200 and that caught the attention of our good old friends at Pitchfork. This week, we’re back with a good old fashioned “Review the Review.”

Songs:

• Sleep Token - “Emergence”

• Sleep Token - “Past Self”

Jay was pondering Theseus’s Paradox on a recent drive (not really, but go with me on this) which is the thought experiment that questions the identity of an object over time when all of its parts are replaced. There are some touring bands that one could apply this question to, such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kansas, REO Speedwagon, Heart, and others. What do you think, is a band whose original members have all been replaced still the same band?
