The guys start off this episode with some stories about buying rigs, places with good deals, and the frightening realities around car buying.
Then they start with the Bowie Classic Ziggy Stardust. A first listen through a bowie album for both of them. How did they interpret the glam rock/proto-punk/pop album that is considered by many to be one of the important and historical albums to have ever been released and cemented David Bowie as a mainstay of popular culture?
After the break, they dive into the 2019 solo album by Brittany Howard, Jaime. With this being the first non Alabama Shakes album from Brittany Howard how did the guys feel about her breaking off as a solo artist? Did her delving into funk, soul, jazz, hip-hop, and other genres work?

Join the boys after an episode of less than stellar music in hopes that better music abounds!
They start off the episode with some NFT talk in relation to music and how it is actively hurting musicians before touching on the #cancelspotify movement spawned on by someone Sportify paid $100,000,000 to and has actively promoted anti-vax rhetoric and had over 100 episodes of their podcast removed for racist language.
The first album that they dive into is St. Vincent's MASSEDUCTION which is a bombastic look at success, love, and failure at the very top of society while being deeply emotional and semi-autobiographical. All while being wrapped in fantastic pop production and biting guitar work. Where do they guys land on the work of 2017 Annie Clark?
After the break, they get to talking about The Decemberists breakout 2006 record The Crane Wife. A band with folk instrumentation that is not afraid to mix up their sound and try something bold with a mix of folklore retellings, creating folklore songs for more recent events, and two songs close to 10 minutes long. How does this album stack up to the rest of what has been discussed so far?
And stick around for the end where they talk about the albums for the next episode and there is a special surprise if you listen all the way to the end!

The boys are back after a holiday break and some time on the podcasters' health and safety protocols list for a Friends and Family Episode!
The First Album they talk about was recommended by Josh's Dad and it is Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes by Jimmy Buffett. Josh relives childhood and Jared gets his first glimpse into the Man who created Trop Rock and from whom Yacht Rock was born. Are taken hold of the sounds of Margaritaville or does this laid-back album not offer what they guys are looking for?
After the break they dive into the album recommended by Jacqueline, Denis Was A Bird by Tom Rosenthal. This album is a pop album exploring the themes and emotions around the death of Tom's father. This album is a much more serious and "real" album from Tom compared to his prior work. Does this new direction work? Find out with the guys.
This is also albums #19 and #20 that they guys cover so they talk through where the full list is currently!

Happy day after Boxing Day! The guys are here for one last episode before 2022 comes to be our new reality and they got two wonderful albums to talk about.
They start off with some updates about why they both sound scattered and maybe losing their voice before diving headfirst into the early 90s with Loveless by My Bloody Valentine. How does the seminal ShoeGaze Album hit for them both? After the break, they then get into Feis's Let It Die, an intimate album that says a lot while doing little. Thank you all for listening to this show in 2021 and we are excited to see you all in 2022!

STRAP IN for the longest episode yet! The boys start with some talk about Christmas Music, Adele, and the Beatles before getting into the lush and quintessentially British album Bonfires on the Heath by the Clientele. They discuss the merits of reverb, drug-inspired sounds, and the idea of the music being able to set a mood. After the break, they then go deep into the lyrically deep explanation of the current nightmare we all live in with Father John Misty's Pure Comedy. They touch on the dichotomy of the lyrical content and the music supporting the lyrics, How Josh Tillman uses his platform to talk about the state of the world, and they spend a surprising amount of time discussion the validity of a 10 verse, 13 minute long song with 6 chords.
