A deep dive behind the music and philosophy of the NYC art rock band BODEGA. BODEGA BEN breaks down each track from their new album 'Our Brand Could be Yr Life', exploring the theme of the record: the current state of underground rock music. Together with guests and friends including Bodega Bay members and current collaborators, they dissect the story behind the music.

For this very special episode, Ben gets a play-by-play history of one of his favorite NYC bands, the legendary Milk Dick. Ben interviews Milk Dick’s leader Mike Delaney about growing up in the Bronx, working at CBGB’s, playing music w/ Juan Wauters, shitgaze and the Fall, the Hospitals, the Velvets, playing punk quiet, meeting Bodega Bay, and Mike’s use of yearning, memory, comedy, sex, hard drugs, and damage in his songwriting. The guys also discuss Mike's profound emotional connection to his ex-bandmates Meg and Brian and dissect the process behind the three Milk Dick LPs and the Milk Dick song BODEGA covered on their new EP, ‘Cry When Yr Young’.
