The Talkhouse Music Podcast is taking up residence at New York’s Samsung 837 space on Wednesday, April 13, for a conversation between Lee Ranaldo, co-founder of Sonic Youth, and Ian Williams of Battles.

The two are scheduled to sit down for a chat between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. at Samsung’s new flagship store (837 Washington Street) and we’re sure they’ll have a lot to discuss. 

Those of you in New York should definitely come down and watch these two amazing artists converse. As for our non-New York friends, we’ll be posting what’s sure to be an intriguing conversation to the Talkhouse very soon. In the meantime, check out a playlist to get you primed for this talk.
