John Brodeur is such a Big Star fan that he got the iconic power-pop band's drummer, Jody Stephens, to play on the latest Bird Streets album, Lagoon. Bird Streets is the fantastic band fronted by John, and on the Spotlight On podcast, he talks in-depth with host @lawrenceperyer about Big Star, recording Lagoon, and his sometimes heart-rending songwriting process. This is quite a special episode — do have a listen → https://www.spotlightonpodcast.com/john-brodeur/

I just sent off this week's Spotlight On edit — and @lawrenceperyer speaks with John Brodeur of the exceptional power-pop band Bird Streets. John opens up about his songwriting in a moving conversation. And the two totally geek out about Big Star (which, as I told Lawrence, is like catnip for me). The episode is live on Thursday.

In the meantime, check out the new Bird Streets album, Lagoon — what a terrific set of songs! → https://birdstreets.bandcamp.com/album/lagoon

John Brodeur from the terrific power-pop band Bird Streets is in town for the holidays. We just had a tasty vegan lunch at Hungry Pants (if you're from Orlando you know). Then I said we should take a selfie by the lake and this monstrosity really is the best one of the bunch. I swear we didn't smoke a big doobie before this photo was taken.

Do yourself a big favor + check out the new Bird Streets album. Jody Stephens of Big Star is on it! → https://songwhip.com/bird-streets/lagoon
