In addition to this being the first episode of Every Album Ever with an accompanying video, this is also the first artist on this podcast to feature a lady. It only took us 14 episodes. Christ. Anyway, X is a great band, which you will hear Mike repeat for basically the entire episode. Also, we don’t mention it in the episode, but Exene was married to Viggo Mortensen for 10 years! How crazy is that!
Closing track: “Dancing with Tears in My Eyes” from Under the Big Black Sun (1982)
