    Ep 021 - No Nü Music

    Jacob punishes Jay by forcing him to listen to his favorite music from when he was 15, and despite Jay’s low expectations he was still disappointed. The boys revisit Netflix’s Ozark and do some digging on who’s responsible for the incredible cover of “The Man Who Sold The World” —spoiler alert, it’s a former guest… And if you can make it through teenage Jacob’s terrible taste in music, we’ve got some fresh Quick Hits for you available on Apple Music and Spotify

    Ep 020 - Amy Lee talks NIN

    It’s Jay’s turn for an album review, but when Jacob tells him it’s NIN he desperately passes off his assignment. So the boys call in the big guns; Lean Forward field reporter and industry-insider Amy Lee of Evanescence. Listen to Jake and Amy talk miles above Jay’s head about what real music sounds like as they share their love of one of the most influential bands of the past 30 years.

Music conversations, like we used to have

The duo of Jay Harren and Jacob ("Jake") Gilmore makes for a powerful back-and-forth style podcast experience that will instantly remind any music fan of those hour-long debates with friends about the best side of your favorite album/cassette. While the hosts are leanding forward and really going deep into the topics du jour, their playful brotherly banter makes for a nice laid back listen.

Love this!

I have listened to both Amy episodes and love them and will binge the whole podcast 'cause I love how in-depth you all go into artists and their catalogs. Please have Amy on again to talk about another one of her influences!

Great Listen

I came on exclusively for Episode 15 because of Amy Lee, but now I'm binging the previous episodes! It's great for the novice or the pro, the musician or the enthusiast. It really reminds me of conversations that I used to have in my living room when I was in college. Not a U2 guy, but I really loved Amy Lee's cover of With or Without You. Does that count, Jay? Seriously though, listen! You won't regret it.
