You heard right. Nick and Andrew are back, to discuss the 70's inspired R&B/Funk covers featured on the soundtrack to the latest installment in the Despicable Me/Minions franchise. We've got all the heavy hitters from Thundercat to Phoebe Bridgers to St. Vincent to RZA. Format of the show be damned, we had a good time talking about those wacky tic tacs. donate to your local abortion fund here:...

Well shit. Andrew and I did this back in September and I just now got around to editing it. In theory it was gonna be us talking about music you might've missed in 2021 but instead I talked about John Mayer for like 20 minutes. Then we talk about some stuff that was coming out last fall. Either way, sorry and also, you're welcome. I really do miss doing this show. 

Hello? Hello? Hey! It's been a while. Do you like that I'm talking to you in the episode description like it's a casual conversation? Pretty good bit. Anyway, here's our episode of stray thoughts from 2020 from our Grammy Predictions to some discussions about the future and current state of music (hint: Tik Tok is kinda bad? I think?) Anyway, here it is. We'll have a proper What You Missed type ep...

This week we’re firing on all cylinders with a star studded line up. Nick opines for a St. Vincent David Byrne collab from 2012, while Andrew and Chloe talk all things Phoebe Bridgers. Later, friend of the pod Zack makes his debut with Bon Iver’s self titled effort, Bon Iver.

While the world is on fire, take solace in this, our latest episode. Originally recorded at the end of May, we decided to postpone this one due to the protests across the country over the murder of George Floyd by the Minneapolis Police Department. And just so it's clear, this podcast supports Black Lives Matter and stands in solidarity.  In this episode we are joined by John Cullen , co-host...

Nick and Ben talk about their quarantine experience and discuss the history and music of Animal Crossing, Nintendo's great escapist franchise.

Hello in self-quarantine land! Rocky couple months its been since we last updated, huh? Well, here's some semi-fresh content to help the time go by.

Is it great? Is it the downfall of...
