This week's main feed episode is running a couple days late so we're flipping a bonus to keep you tide over. This was originally published on our Patreon feed in December 2023. In this episode, we tackle the 2013 album to end all 2013 albums, Because The Internet by Childish Gambino. Is it the OK Computer of rap? Is it good? We get to the bottom of these questions and more.  Subscribe to the Endle...

Bit of an unconventional opening, but once we get going, it's off to the races with reviews of Faye Webster's new album 'Underdressed at the Symphony' and Mannequin Pussy's new record 'I Got Heaven.' Lots of thoughts on and around both.  Subscribe to the Endless Scroll Patreon for weekly bonus episodes, access to our Discord server, and more  https://www.patreon.com/endlessscrollpod

This is a bonus episode we originally published on our Patreon in October 2023. Now available for all to hear.  Folks, it's a Hop Along episode! We talk about the Philly band's three (maybe four?) albums, where this band fits in 2010s indie-rock, their emo bona fides, their influence and more.

We're joined by Camp Trash member, music writer, and former youth pastor Keegan Bradford (@FranziaMom) for a dive into the alien universe of Christian Rock. We talk Tooth and Nail, Christian metalcore, P.O.D., Reliant K, and how the idiom went from halfway decent (Starflyer 59) to total dogshit (Skillet) in the span of a couple decades.  Subscribe to the Endless Scroll Patreon for weekly bonus epi...

We did an episode on The Dismemberment Plan! In classic 'Scroll fashion, two of us weren't familiar with this band and the other two are longtime fans. We talk about their classic albums, what makes them so beloved, how a band as odd as them became indie-rock icons, and why some of us find them so goddamn irritating. 

Friend of the pod Grace Robins-Somerville joins us for a discussion about Neutral Milk Hotel. We go in on the band's music, their legacy, Elephant Six, canonical indie-rock, and more. 

It's a three-part ep. First, we have our obligatory discussion about Pitchfork's recent gutting. Then, we review the new Katy Kirby album, 'Blue Raspberry.' Finally, we pull out our Bandomizer game and debate the best/worst albums from a bunch of our favorite artists.

The Jimmy Journey — our quest to listen to every Jimmy Eat World album — continues onward, though the road gets bumpy on 'Chase This Light' and 'Invented.'  We also talk about new songs from Waxahatchee and Faye Webster, and reveal the winner of our Christmas Songs draft. 

Happy new year, Scrollers! We're back to discuss stuff we're excited about. Stuff we want to see. Stuff we want to stop. 

For our last episode of 2023, we did a draft of Christmas songs. It's a fun game, but also an excuse for us to talk about our favorite xmas tunes.  Vote for the winner by emailing endlessscrollpod@gmail.com , or by voting in the Endless Scroll Discord.  Access the Discord by subscribing on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/endlessscrollpod   Thanks for another classic year. You'll hear from us again...

This week we welcome back to the pod beloved music writer and host of some other indie rock podcast, Ian Cohen, to discuss all the stuff we've been disappointed in this year. It's called being honest and balanced.

That's right. It's here. List Season 2k23. We're starting off our end-of-the-year run with our favorite songs of 2023. And for this one, we're joined by our trusted producer Cayla Enis!  Here's a playlist of all the co-hosts' picks https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7prKqqZH4AjYyjveZNXXaT?si=dfcd9928a3fc4fff   Cayla's SoundCloud playlist of her picks https://soundcloud.com/i_am_entropy/sets/kittens...

You asked us questions. We answered them. What does "normie" mean? Thoughts on Strange Ranger? Pre-2000s bands we discovered this year? What kind of band would Endless Scroll be? And more. #Letitrock 

Another month has come to pass, so we talk about what we've been listening to. Thoughts on Squirell Flower, Truth Club, Troye Sivan, Ken Carson, Sun June and more. Digressions include the state of vinyl and the movie 'It Follows'. 

We did another draft! This time, we drafted albums from 2000-2004, and the categories were much more narrow and challenging than the ones in our 90s album draft. Listen along to hear us create our teams, and then head over to our Discord channel to vote on who you think won.  Subscribe to Endless Scroll on Patreon to access the Discord:  https://www.patreon.com/endlessscrollpod

This week, we welcome Jeremy Bolm (Touche Amore, The First Ever Podcast) onto the pod to discuss Canadian indie rock heroes The Weakerthans. We get into why people love them, what their impact has been on modern punk music, whether they're emo and much more!

Folks, it happened. Michael Brooks took control of the Endless Scroll terminals and conducted a Wilco podcast with the help of esteemed guests, Shawn Cooke and Ethan Beck. These three Tweedy birds reviewed the band's latest album 'Cousin' and then did a full-on Wilco song draft. For the heads, by the heads. No Eli. No Eric. No Miranda. No masters. 

September was a busy month for new music, so we recapped some new shit we listened to. Slow Pulp, Slaughter Beach Dog, Chappell Roan, Yeule and much more. 

We're joined by The Chillwave Enjoyer to talk about the deadbeat summer of 2009, internet genres, the big three (Neon Indian, Toro Y Moi, Washed Out), what killed chillwave, who kept it alive, & more.  The Chillwave playlist mentioned in the episode: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3KwbsvTAZGCS0alFxjS32K?si=36ff2ee1c1144859

We review Olivia Rodrigo's 'Guts' and vent about some of the irksome writing/dialogue around it. We also talk about the new Angel Du$t record! But most importantly, Michael introduces a new sketch, The Michael Minute, where he shares his takes on some records we've recently talked about without him on the pod. Packed ep. Let's go. 

First, we catch up on some recent live music we've seen. Then, we go deep on new albums by Mitski and Vagabon. 

Happy Labor Day! We're talking the new Jeff Rosenstock album! The new Armed album! The new Mannequin Pussy song! And whatever else we've been listening to throughout August.
