I Can Change/Witty Nihilism

I Can Change/Witty Nihilism

Author: Josh Bond, Neal Marsh May 26, 2026 Duration: 54:25
A discussion of LCD Soundsystem's "I Can Change" and our Mount Rushmore of 21st Century rock.

Two old friends who once shared a stage now share a microphone on Pod Gave Rock'N Roll To You. Hosts Josh Bond and Neal Marsh, drawing from their own experiences as former bandmates, revisit the songs that shaped them and the wider musical landscape. This isn't a lecture from historians or critics; it's the lively, often meandering, and deeply personal conversation that happens between musicians after the gear is packed away. Each episode focuses on a specific track, pulling it apart not for technical perfection but for its cultural resonance, its hidden stories, and the sheer feeling it evokes. Joined occasionally by various guests, Josh and Neal blend personal anecdote with broader commentary, touching on the history and performing arts context that gives a song its weight. You'll hear the easy rapport of a long friendship, the tangents that only true enthusiasts can follow, and a genuine appreciation for the craft behind the music. Tune in for a podcast that feels less like a formal analysis and more like you've been invited to pull up a chair in their rehearsal space, where the talk is as unscripted and passionate as the rock 'n' roll they love.
