About the episode

This week, Rob takes a trip down memory lane, a.k.a. 2000s Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Now that we are in the dark ages of social media and virality, there is a set-in-stone Mount Rushmore of late-night TV band performances, including the high-energy TV on the Radio debut of “Wolf Like Me.” Rob discusses how TV on the Radio was affected by post-9/11 New York, giving us the iconic opening album line “I was a lover before this war.” Later, he is joined by musician and top-10 TV on the Radio fan Bartees Strange to discuss covering a monolith of a song like “Wolf Like Me” and how TV on the Radio paved the road for artists like Bartees.
