Triangle musician and producer Saman Khoujinian fronts T. Gold, plays guitar and synth in No One Mind, and has helped make records or played with the likes of Dad & Dad, Virgins Family Band, The Dead Tongues, Humanize, Chris Frisina, and Matt Phillips. Between breaking down Sting's only country hit and the bizarre music video that accompanies it, Saman discusses discovering country music while touring with Mandolin Orange and the influence (or lack thereof) it has had on his own music. Rachel & Saman also make controversial statements about a few highly regarded singer-songwriters and Spencer makes embarrassing confessions about his mid-2000s listening habits.
Saman's pick: "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying" by Sting, 1996
