    MP68 - Getting Tweedy With It - Together At Last

    We're diving back into the Tweedy-verse with 2017's acoustic album, TOGETHER AT LAST - which Jason didn't listen to, because he thought we were covering WARM, but he was very much wrong, that's the next episode. Jared really likes this album a lot, hopes Tweedy continues the series, and thinks you should go check it out. Also discussed: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, Paul Simon, and more. Jason recommends SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE and ER Season 3 Jared recommends the new Jenny Lewis album, JOY'ALL ("Puppy and a Truck" - song of the summer!)

    MP67 - We're Not NPR

    It's summer, so it's time for a little break from our regularly scheduled programming. This week, instead of getting Tweedy with it, it's a pop culture goulash. Jason and Jared talk ER, Weeds, vintage Conan (O'Brien, not the barbarian), the new Sparks album, and more. Both hosts highly recommend Sparks' THE GIRL IS CRYING IN HER LATTE Jason recommends THE FOOL (album by Adanowsky) Jared recommends the Doughboys episode "Domino's 3 Loaded Tots" Email us at mentalplatypusquarterly@gmail.com Follow us on Letterboxd Jason: https://letterboxd.com/rulerboy/ Jared: https://letterboxd.com/LtdEngagement/

    MP66 - Getting Tweedy With It - Sukierae

    Take 3!!! After some misfires that shall never see the light of day, Jason and Jared talk Finns, Tweedy's, nepotism, and more. That's right, we're talking the 2014 Jeff and Spencer Tweedy album (aka, Tweedy), SUKIERAE. Recommendations: Jason: POKER FACE (TV series, Peacock) Jared: "The Narcissist" (Single from Blur's forthcoming album, THE BALLAD OF DARREN) Find us on Lettrbxd: Jared: LtdEngagement Jason: rulerboy

    MP65 - Getting Tweedy With It - The Sun Came Out

    This is it - we've reached the last of the Jeff Tweedy side-projects (the remaining albums in this series are all Tweedy solo/solo-ish), and it's the best one! THE SUN CAME OUT is the result of what happens when New Zealand pop music icon Neil Finn (Crowded House/Split Enz) gathers together 20 musicians at his studio in Auckland to record an album over 20 days, and what a result! Plus, Jared gives his hot take on THIS IS 40, and we introduce a possible podcast goldmine, John Lith-now: The John Lithgow Career Retrospective. Recommendations: Jared - THE ASK (a novel by Sam Lipsyte) Jason - Haley Heynderickx, Y La Bamba, and Begonia (here's the link to Jason's column in Phoenix Magazine that Jared didn't read) No social media, so it'd be great if you help the show by rating, reviewing, and recommending - cheers!
