BV Weekly

And do guitar solos matter? We talk Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 greatest guitar solos of all time, and whether Geese & MJ Lenderman belong on there. Andrew is back, Dave & Bill saw Bob Mould's '90s reunited band Sugar, Bill & Amanda saw the colorful and wild Gelli Haha show, Bill went to that Radiohead thing, Jason Isbell went to that Rolling Stones thing & is reuniting with Drive-By Truckers. Mike D of the Beastie Boys released a new song, and is playing Beastie Boys songs live! We also talk about the new Basement, Aldous Harding & Social Distortion albums, cancelled tours, announced tours, Olivia Rodrigo, M.I.A. & more of this week's music news. 

BV Weekly is brought to you by the long-running music publication BrooklynVegan, created and hosted by Dave Levine and Andrew Sacher. This week BV editors Amanda Hatfield and Bill Pearis also stop by.
