Episode 203 - Laura Ballance (Superchunk, Merge Records)

How often do you get to talk to the boss of your record label, bass player in one of your favourite bands & one of the first people to ever hire you in the music biz? Well, this once in a lifetime confluence happens to Damian this week when he welcomes LAURA BALLANCE OF MERGE RECORDS / SUPERCHUNK on to the show show!!! Listen in as the two discuss Laura’s journey, why MERGE gets it in a way some other label can't & the night in London twenty years ago when Damian had to work the merch table for Superchunk.

Big Sister’s record collection as a gateway

Adam Ant on late night tv and a sexual awaking

Was it Prince & The Revolution on Purple Rain OR Bad Brains & Neon Christ for the first show?
