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"
