This episode has us feeling very nostalgic as we take a look at one of Blink 182's early albums.  Take Off Your Pants and Jacket has been called "the first pop/punk concept album", we will dive into what that means and why it is significant to us.  So take off your shoes and get comfy.

We take a look at the song "Book of Love". From its surprising (to us) origins with The Magnetic Fields we then explore versions by Peter Gabriel, 2Cellos and Gavin James. This is yet another song that seems to mean so much to so many. Take a journey to find out what this song means to us and our interpretation of what binds these four different versions together.

Hi Folks!  For this episode we take a look at Yonder Mountain String Band's album Town By Town.  It is "progressive bluegrass" at its finest.  This album is a great blend of traditional and jammy with plenty of fast paced high energy songs as well as some slowed down folksier tunes. Even if you do not listen to bluegrass regularly give this album a try!  Thanks for listening!    Int...

This time around Lee and Al discuss Beck's eighth (yes eighth) studio album Sea Change. The end of a long term relationship saw Beck evolving his music from sampling and cryptic lyrics to live instrumentation and a more straight forward lyrical approach with this album.  Don't worry there are still plenty of spacey improv moments though! Happy listening! Intro/Outro: Upbeat Forever by Ke...
