I don’t know if there’s any fans of Little Steven’s Underground Garage show around here but I’m sure someone would be interested in listening to the last couple of episodes. As the show is celebrating its 9th anniversary, Steve Van Zandt has recorded three special shows with his old friend (and employer) Bruce Springsteen.

The show is essentially the two of them sitting around with a laptop full of music and a guitar (because Bruce Springsteen clearly goes nowhere without a guitar!) talking about there influences and favourite records. There's even an interesting (although hardly surprising) segment where Springsteen demonstrates how he ripped off/paid tribute to the intro to 'Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood' for his own 'Badlands'.

It’s thoroughly entertaining and quite refreshing to hear the Boss talking about himself in a way that sounds like it hasn’t been prepared and nuanced for yet another one of those ‘rare exclusive' interviews that he does every six months. And the music is mostly all great.

Anyway, two of the shows are up on Little Steen’s site and the 3rd will be available early next week.

Hope it finds some welcome listeners around here. If listening to two old duffers sitting around talking about the old days is your thing, then you’ll love this!
