The Durham, North Carolina-based duo of Nick Sanborn and Amelia Randall Meath have been making their intriguing brand of electronic indie pop since 2013, when the two musicians, who were each in other projects at the time, found they had artistic–and personal–chemistry of their own.

Celebrating the release of his new memoir, Siren Song: My Life in Music, the man known as “America’s greatest living record man,” sits down for a conversation with Henry Rollins. Stein’s been involved with music since the 1950s, and his book goes behind the scenes of it all, from CBGBs, to his discovery of Madonna, to the crash of the industry’s old ways of doing business.
