    The Jared of Five Guys (Ep. 120)

    A Different New Chris Walla (Ep. 119)

    After analyzing the influences of indie rock act Pouty (who we mistakenly misgeolocated to Philly... they're from Cali) and chatting about some ill-considered arena tours, we get to the matter at hand: recapping our three days at the Kilby Block Party music festival in Salt Lake City. Show reviews of LCD Soundsystem, Joanna Newsom, Courtney Barnett, Vampire Weekend, Guided By Voices, Death Cab / Postal Service (again), Belle & Sebastian, Santigold, and many more.

    Pitchfork Media Dot Com (Ep. 117)

    We discuss the slow but steady downfall of Pitchfork, the seminal music publication of our generation. The closing track is by Cyann & Ben, the kind of strange and moving indie rock that was only on anyone's radar because it was the featured review on the site.

    Drum Game of Death (Ep. 115)

    We welcome Mark, our first guest who *isn’t* painfully white, to help us pronounce “acai bowl” correctly. The three of us discuss the Death Cab / Postal Service anniversary show we attended, the Jann Wenner controversy, going out of your mind in D.C., and (of course) the Pumpkins.
