Ep421: Rob Kassees (The Beverly Crushers, 1001 Album Complaints)

Rob is back! And his Star Trek: The Next Generation themed band the Beverly Crushers has a brand new record called Enterprise. It is a deep dive into writing prompt vs. concept record, the vitality and importance of ST: tNG as monoculture influence to hourly procedurals, mainstreaming of sci-fi, and a precursor to serialized prestige television. All this and the origin of The Chop (and the Chop collective). Of course we also talk about the delightful 1001 Album Complaints podcast as well, where Rob and compatriots speak about albums on Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die list weekly.
