In the ninth episode of season two, the guys discuss Galaxie 500's 1989 record-- On Fire. The Harvard indie rock band released this project just one year after their 1988 debut, “Today” (which Thurston Moore dubbed "the guitar record of 1988"). With the help of their producer, Kramer, this album in particular double downs on dazed and dreamyness of their first album with great results despite the interpersonal drama that always haunted the band. In fact, if you didn't know, Pitchfork ranked it as the 6th best album of the 1980s. Needless to say, it’s an album with a great history. So sit back, and relax.
