    #60.2 The Chartographers: El-P

    True Story: we love El-P. The rapper-producer who cut his teeth in Company Flow who later would make up half of our Season Finale artist Run the Jewels, El-P is a force unto himself, having also given us a trove of indie-rap staples via his Definitive Jux label. Thus, we're celebrating the man's discography and rankin' it all from Worst to First. A cinematic episode that was filmed on Deep Space 9mm. /// Our theme song for this episode is "Everything" by Sam Sparro from his 2020 studio album BOOMBOX ETERNAL.

    #60.1 The Chartographers: Killer Mike

    Comin' in with that Ric Flair drip to our season finale, which means that Evan, Taran, and special guest Sam Thomas [IG: @ham_sand_witch] are diving head-on into the Run The Jewels Cinematic Universe, starting with Killer Mike. We rank his studio albums and say "Grind Time Rap Game Bang Bang Bang" about as many times as he does on mic (just kidding: he says it way more). /// Our theme song for this episode is "Everything" by Sam Sparro from his 2020 studio album BOOMBOX ETERNAL.

    #59.5 Happy Hour Minisode: Joni Mitchell (1968-1979)

    In order to prep for the Happy Hour Minisode on Joni Mitchell, we had to drink a case of you and we're still standing on our feet. That's right: Evan, Taran, and special guest Ali Keirn dive into all things Joni, ranging from her treatment by the music press in the '70s to the covers of her songs to her controversial album covers. Turn us on (and turn us up!), we're a radio (but actually a podcast). /// Our theme song for this episode is "Turquoise (Skyline)" by Brothertiger off of their 2012 album GOLDEN YEARS(Mush Records).

    The painted ponies go up and down, just like the album rankings when we discuss the work of none other than Joni Mitchell! Join Evan, Taran, and special guest Ali Keirn as they talk about Joni's first ten incredible records. We don't need no paper from the city to tell us we got a very special episode on our hands here. /// Our theme song for this episode is "Everything" by Sam Sparro from his 2020 studio album BOOMBOX ETERNAL.

    #58.5 Happy Hour Minisode: Ween

    If you're listening to The Chartographers' Happy Hour Minisode about Ween, then you're exactly where you're at. Join Evan, Taran, and Chartographers All-Stars J.C. Sciaccotta and Jon Harvey as they plumb the depths of Ween's back story, ranging from insane song inspirations to surprisingly queer-friendly lyrical asides to talking about, of course, "The Argus". It's a transdermal celebration everyone can get behind. /// Our theme song for this episode is "Turquoise (Skyline)" by Brothertiger off of their 2012 album GOLDEN YEARS(Mush Records).
