The 11th Hour is a podcast where two dudes in their 40s discuss a different Rancid song each week. They reflect on their lives, their (inexplicable) fandom, and why certain parts of our youth continue to hold meaning beyond simple nostalgia. Is it a midlife crisis or honest self-reflection? Join us on a journey to the end and find out. Follow along on Twitter or Instagram and find The 11th Hour on your favorite streaming/podcast app (Stitcher, Apple, Spotify, etc) – and, of course, always on Foxy Digitalis.
Episode #32: Sound System (Operation Ivy)
On the holy grail of holy grails in Tim Armstrong’s discography, the guys marvel at all the reasons “Sound System” is the all-timer that it is. They talk about its timelessness and still-current impact plus parse out the various aspects of Operation Ivy that worked their way into Rancid. Plus there’s a lot of gushing about the greatness of Jesse Michaels.
