Summary

In this episode of 'Trimming the Musical Fat', host Stephen and guest Ross return for their final look at Arcade Fire’s 2010 album 'The Suburbs'.

The mission: Curate an under 50-minute, single vinyl version of the album to create a more concise listening experience. In this show, Stephen and Ross agree on the six tracks that will make up Side B.

They also recommend some further listening from the band, and Stephen puts the album into the TTMF Hall of Fame…but where?! Elton John's 'Blue Moves' & Beck’s ‘Odelay’ currently occupy the top two positions.
