E8 The Itch and Pony Show: Deftones and Evolving Beyond Nu Metal

This week, the guys celebrate the 20th anniversary of Deftones’
seminal album White Pony! Along the way they touch on:


How an awful thought can become a great song

How to use music to end an unwanted relationship

The benefits of bands sticking together

How to not be just nu metal

Haunted houses

Limp Bizkit?

Bands that do quality covers (and Dan's surprising choice for
who does it best)



Plus, the guys name drop AIM and Napster, and Aaron (possibly)
resists the urge to be totally annoying!
