The Partially Examined Life is a podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a short text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy. You don't have to know any philosophy, or even to have read the text we're talking about to (mostly) follow and (hopefully) enjoy the discussion. For links to the texts we discuss and other info, check out www.partiallyexaminedlife.com. We also feature episodes from other podcasts by our hosts to round out your partially examined life, including Pretty Much Pop (prettymuchpop.com, covering all media), Nakedly Examined Music (nakedlyexaminedmusic.com, deconstructing songs), Philosophy vs. Improv (philosophyimprov.com, fun with performance skills and philosophical ideas), and (sub)Text (subtextpodcast.com, looking deeply at lit and film).

NEM#93: Peter Aaron Lives in the Blues-Punk Moment
Peter started in hardcore punk and used the blues to add depth for his band the Chrome Cranks, which released four studio albums and a live album in the mid-1990s then another in 2012. Since then he's been a music journalist and author, writing about the Ramones, the Band, and others, with occasional musical projects.
We discuss his new single "Bomb Train Blues" (2018) with the band Young Skulls, Chrome Cranks tracks "Dark Room" from Chrome Cranks (1994), and "Rubber Rat" from Ain’t No Lies in Blood (2012). We conclude by listening to "Purge 4" from Purges by Peter Aaron and Brian Chase (2016). Intro/outro: "Hot Blonde Cocktail" by the Chrome Cranks from Love in Exile (1997).
