The hosts explain how Live Drugs Again is a unique collection of
live tracks recorded at various venues even different versions of
a single song stitched together over several years, rather than
from a single concert. This inspired Aaron to create a personal
challenge to Cassie: curate her own setlist using live
performances found across platforms like YouTube and the Internet
Archive.


Emphasizing the emotional depth of The War on Drugs' music, one
host talk about their experience listening to the album,
recounting how they were moved to tears just minutes into the
track "Harmonia's Dream." The hosts also share their love for
candid, behind-the-scenes band photos and live shots, which often
accompany the band's releases, adding a nostalgic and personal
touch to the experience.


Towards the end, they discuss the difficulty of choosing specific
live version of songs for a setlist, given the band's extensive
catalog of performances.


The hosts' love for the music is palpable throughout the episode,
from the vivid descriptions of unboxing the album to the
heartfelt reactions to each track.

Listen along!
