Seeing It This Way Jamie Erdheim

Jamie and Tim practice social distancing and return with an episode about Saves the Day's seminal 2001 record Stay What You Are. They compliment Chris Conley's lyrical approach, wonder why today's teens aren't as into Saves the Day, and shout out puzzles. Also, Jamie continues her gentle speculation about Chris Conley's sexuality and what it'd be like to date him.

Jamie returns with special guest Josh to discuss The Weakerthans' second record. John K. Samson is a great lyricist whose words resonate more with each passing year.

Tim and fellow emo aficionado Jonah Ko (both of whom are DJs at MIT's radio station WMBR) discuss the first Good Luck record while wondering if people can become more noble, considerate, and loving just by listening to it. This is also by far the best-sounding episode of Seeing It This Way - you're welcome.
