Episode 22: The Pixies, “Doolittle”
Episode 22: Dave, Eric, and Sarah turn the Reselect machine back to the very tail end of the '80s in this episode to discuss the Pixies and their remarkable 1989 album, Doolittle. This may very well be the definitive Pixies album, so by extension it may very well be one of the most influential albums in rock, given the huge impact the Pixies had, both directly and indirectly, on the music of the '90s and beyond. Give a listen and see what the gang has to say about it.

Episode 21: The Faces, "A Nod is as Good as a Wink..."
Episode 21: The "Reselectors" (Dave, Eric, and Sarah) turn their laser sights (watch out!) in this episode toward the Faces' classic 1971 rocker, A Nod is as Good as a Wink...to a Blind Horse. (You'll have to excuse us for not including the full title in the episode title.) While all appreciated the musical force that was Rod Stewart and the Faces, the gang found that one particular aspect of the album hasn't aged quite as well. Tune in to find out what that might be!
[A small correction to a comment made by Dave early on in this episode: a mental slip-up caused him to say that the "Ronnie" who was not in the Small Faces, the band that eventually became the Faces, was "Lane," when in fact he meant to say "Wood."]

Episode 20: The Beach Boys, "Pet Sounds"
Episode 20: Sarah, Eric, and Dave take a look in this episode at the Beach Boys' classic 1966 album, Pet Sounds. For some people, the Beach Boys bring to mind fun, light-hearted songs about surfing, girls, and driving around in cars, but with Pet Sounds, Brian Wilson proved they were so much more than that, influencing the direction of popular music in very significant ways both directly and via those that the album influenced. But we also learn in this discussion that its greatness doesn't guarantee adulation! Tune in for more on that and our other remarkably insightful discussions!

Episode 19: The New Pornographers, "Twin Cinema"
Episode 19: Eric, Dave, and Sarah return to take a dive into the New Pornographers and their 2005 album, Twin Cinema. Carl Newman's always-catchy songs and clever but sometimes obscure turns of phrase combine seamlessly with Neko Case's incredible voice to create what at least one of our podcasters believe is a classic album, while one is left unconvinced. Tune in to see who feels which way -- who do you agree with more?

Episode 18: Tom Waits, "Raindogs"
Episode 18: After a fairly long break, Eric, Dave, and Sarah are back for a fun discussion of the always entertaining Tom Waits and his classic 1985 album, Raindogs. Considered by many to be his best album (in a very competitive field!), Raindogs absolutely barks with Waits' sometimes growling and sometimes gruffly crooning vocal instrument, as well as an array of wheezing calliopes, oomping tubas, and myriad other uniquely Waits-ian found sounds. But above all else is the songwriting -- few people can write a lyric and sing it like Tom. Please let us know your thoughts about Tom Waits and Raindogs at ReselectMusic.com! And leave us some requests for future episodes!

Episode 17: Ryan Adams, "1989"
Episode 17: A prolific and talented songwriter and musician, Ryan Adams has nonetheless been a very polarizing figure in music, and through his real-life actions poses a problem when it comes to appreciating him. In this episode, Dave, Eric, and Sarah discuss these issues, as well as take a look at the music on his full-album cover of Taylor Swift's "1989" album.
