Episode 58: Jeremy Popoff, Lit

28 min • 17 juli 2022

If you found yourself cutting a rug on a rock club dancefloor in the late '90s – and, ahem, I’m just speaking hypothetically, obviously – then it’s highly likely that you were doing that, at least sometimes, to Orange County rockers Lit, specifically their 1999 mega smash 'My Own Worst Enemy'. Even now, I am obsessed with that song, and I’m not alone – last year the band even released their own podcast, charting the cultural impact of a song I truly believe is one of the genuinely perfect pure pop singles released within my lifetime.

Now the band are back back back with their first album in 5 years, the old skool riff-o-rama of their 7th studio album, Tastes Like Gold. It’s a thoroughly entertaining record, and so I thought it might be fun to connect with the band’s guitarist and ever constant, Jeremy Popoff, which I do here on this episode. It’s an interesting chat – about songwriting, durability, Bowling For Soup and the chaos of Woodstock ’99. Settle in. But first, please tell me, why my car is in the front yard. Especially since I don’t even drive…
