    91: Fiddlehead + Alien Nosejob

    This new episode features records by Fiddlehead (read David Anthony’s piece), Alien Nosejob, Consensus Madness, Old Yeller, Girl Trouble, and Baby Jane. Plus, Evan and Nina take a long walk through recent ponderings—seeing “Weird Al” live, hearing bluegrass gossip about troublemaking cloggers, the rebranded resurgence of FKA Altoids Sours, the possibility of violet-flavored Choward’s, Jeni’s Ice Cream flavors that unsurprisingly freak it, the backyard black raspberry crop, seeing The Fly for the first time, and of course, the identity of Carrot Bruce.

    87: Eddy Current Suppression Ring + Hillsboro

    Evan and Nina celebrated some dear friends over the weekend. This happened mere days after getting shouted at by one of their heroes during a taping of see/saw jukebox. (Everybody’s cool, it’s an amazing conversation.) We tell the story of that imminent episode and talk about some records that remind us of Zorak and Breakout. It’s episode 87 featuring new ones from Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Hillsboro, Concrete Lawn, Emergeense, WWW, and DALAÏDRAMA.
