We&apos;re back for round two! Cody and Hilary examine the beginnings of DEVO and their inimitable first album - &quot;Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are DEVO!&quot; (Cody fumbles the title in the intro. Don&apos;t worry, we&apos;re pointing and laughing too!) DEVO&apos;s debut put the world on notice of something uncompromisingly different. From a wild Stones cover to crashing a Sun Ra show, DEVO has always - unapologetically - been themselves. We&apos;ll peek a bit behind the curtain to see how this record was rooted in a pivotal event in U.S. history.Thanks for listening!

Ep. 3: John Prine - John Prine

EarWax is a deep-dive music podcast hosted by two longtime record store clerks, Hilary and Cody, who are steeped in music history.

Each week, we unpack the story of a single album - how it was made, where it fits in the cultural moment that shaped it, and why it still matters. From iconic classics to cult gems, we explore the music that moves us and the stories that stick.

You’ll also hear about the latest releases and what’s buzzing in our world of vinyl bins and liner notes. Think of it like your favorite record store hang, just in podcast form.

EarWax is for anyone who loves music with context, history, and heart.
