Andrew and Riley are joined by Dan Boeckner of Operators and The Bottlemen for the second episode of our series about the lasting cultural impact of September 11. We discuss Dan's recollection of the day, the impact that 9/11 had on the playlists of radio stations across the country, artists censoring their own songs, misguided musical output, and the only musician we can think of to create a lasting, prescient response in the form of a memorable concept album.

Sprayer Kinney did pretty good attacks on the homogeneity of America’s cultural response to 9/11 in their 2002 album “one beat” Also worth looking up is The Coup’s Party People which originally had the duo blowing up the twin towers on the cover art. A complete coincidence as they made the album before the disaster

Milo did 9/11, prove me wrong!

I was too young on 9/11 to really experience the psychosis that overtook the US, so hearing the things they did is truly astounding

My middle school played Proud to be an American by Lee Greenwood six times a day during the 5 minutes of passing time we got between classes starting on 9/12 and didn’t stop until we returned from Christmas break in January of 2002.

My sister was in a music video that got cancelled because of 9/11. Blink 182’s original video for their anti-divorce anthem “Stay Together for the Kids” because it featured the destruction of a broken home with a wrecking ball.

"We will bring down the Great Satan by denying them access to the Two Moons Over My Hammy!"

The band I Am the World Trade Center kept their name. Kings!

I was waiting the entire time during the music discussion for you guys to mention The Coup's album getting delayed because the original album cover for Party Music featured them posing in front of an exploding World Trade Center.

I feel like the 2004 Leftover Crack Release Fuck World Trade should have gotten a mention,

One Shot One Kill by Dying Fetus is probably one of my fav dumbguy responses to 9/11. They sold t-shirts with a Bin Laden face in a sniper scope on the back. It ruled.

Was there ever a third episode?
