    Zack and Nolan Enjoy the Classics Vol. 1: Our All-Time Favorite Albums

    As a nice little breather between band series', we decided to take some time to talk Zack and Nolan lore as we comb over our all-time favorite records – Smashing Pumpkins' sprawling epic "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" and Weezer's agoraphobic, problematic masterpiece "Pinkerton". Other discussion topics include Naruto, Simon and Garfunkel, Zack's trip to the UK, the NBA playoffs, influential music teachers – with plenty of time dedicated to the treasure trove of b-sides from both albums. Next episode we take on TOOL – stay tuned! Mellon Collie talk begins @19:40 Pinkerton talk begins @1:10:15

    Episode #10: "The Brandons" – our Incubus Awards / Future of the Show

    Join us this week / month in this long overdue episode celebrating the best of Incubus. As our series draws to a close, we give out some well-deserved NBA themed awards to our beloved band of brothers, incuding our "First Team All-Incubus", favorite album opener/closer, favorite piece of Incubus lore, and most ridiculous Brandon Boyd lyric. We also pick our favorite "Incubus-adjacent" albums, and talk about the future of the show. Tune in for our best episode yet! (minor correction: Nolan meant to say "Medium" instead of "The Middle" while talking about his AATSUO. I think he's just been listening to Bleed American a lot.)
