Episode 197: The Record Shelf: X, Under the Big Black Sun

In this week’s episode, Wyndham and Jeremy do a deep dive on an old favorite album—Under the Big Black Sun by X. As the first selection by Wyndham in the new The Record Shelf series, the brothers discuss the musical and cultural landscape of the year Under the Big Black Sun was released, including the 70s hangover, the rise of Reaganism, and the songs playing on the radio and pop charts. Then, they dive deep into the album, discussing the history of X and their personal histories with the band.
