I miss these episodes so much. This guy gets music and speaks about it beautifully. There’s a hole in my heart since 2020!
This podcast is like poetry
I have never heard a music podcast that is such art in its own way. He has a beautiful way of describing music that is deeply personal, and his appreciation for artists and their music bleeds through in every word. The podcast is so deeply well researched that even a super fan will learn something new. I listened to every episode during quarantine, even ones for albums I’d never heard, and learned to love new music because of it. I can’t reccomend this more highly!
Nice.
Loved the blink-182 podcast and the yeezy one. Haven’t listened to any others. But would love to hear some stuff about some other 2003-2010 rap albums or some older offspring albums done. And it’s a stretch cuz you might not be into this type of music but if you did a country one I’d be floored. Thanks!!
