#209 - 8Bit with Jackson Loman | Secondary Ticket Brokers Weigh In | Three For Thursday

Greg is kicking things off this week with a very special return guest. Jackson Loman is back and we’re talking video games, so we’re doing an 8Bit! This time around Jackson brings us music from Friday Night Funkin’, a challenging game, similar to Dance Dance Revolution, that Jackson has mastered! He tells us all about it and we listen to some select tracks from the game. It was a delightful visit and we can’t wait to have him back!

Songs:

• Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross - “New Form of Life Itself (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Soundtrack)”

• Friday Night Funkin’ - “Bobeepo”

• Friday Night Funkin’ - “Gettin’ Freaky”

• Friday Night Funkin’ - “Sussus Moogus”

Next up, Nick brings us a Pitchfork interview with Gary Adler, head of the National Association of Ticket Brokers, on the value of secondary ticket brokers to the concert going public. While it feels like a self-serving and dubious claim, Mr. Adler brings up several interesting points worth discussing. So we dig in and discuss it!

Song: Arthur Hnatek Trio - “Pulser”

Finally, Jay brings us a Three For Thursday, where we hear something old, something new and something else worth listening to. Inspired by the office playlist that a manager pulled together from Jay and his coworkers, here’s the list!

Songs:

• G. Love & Special Sauce - “Cold Beverage”

• Rhiannon Giddens - “Yet to Be (feat. Jason Isbell)”

• Jordan Mackampa - “Over & Out”
