Noah (The Pretty Flowers)

SPB: What do you listen to in the van?   

Noah: We started doing a band-approved music playlist on Spotify this year called Sounds from a Sony Sports Walkman and this SPB question made us realize we need to update it for Feb. January's playlist should give your readers a good idea of our varied musical tastes--along with some Pretty Flowers album tracks--and can be found here. For long stretches in the van, it's less music-oriented: Sean and I are both ride-or-die Howard Stern Show fans, so any time we have a captive audience to try to convert to the show, we take advantage of it. Jake listens to a lot of Pod Save America podcast, which we all like. Sam has been on a Game of Thrones audiobook kick lately, which is tolerated by some.

Up until then, my exposure to music had mostly come through my parents, aunts, and uncles. They planted the initial seeds, and those seeds quickly grew, … Read more
