Welcome back to a very loose episode (have you noticed that Dan puts extra discussion at the end of the episode after the outro? There's some good stuff back there that is less about the songs, it was really fun discussion.)

We're back! A couple days late for Pride Month, but we needed to hit the Wednesday release day. We're going full pop on this episode with Troye Sivan. It was a great time recording, and there's some fun easter eggs at the end if you tune into those.

We're trying something new, and reactivating our feed! It's been too long, but we're back. We wanted to put out something quick and fun. Hopefully you're all still here, we've got plenty of full albums to come.

We're back with another guest! Looking at 2014's indie electronica groups Sylvan Esso's self titled album. It's fun!

Re-uploaded with the full ending! There's not much that got missed before, but it's all there now. We're back with a fresh coat of paint! Do you like Last Vestige but don't want to listen to it with the album open next to you? Good news! We've done some upgrades, and are inviting some people close to us to come by and talk about albums that meant something to them. Links: Insta...

It's our last episode before we move to our new format! Looking at a very cool album that inspired a number of bands going forward.

In this episode we're discussing the musical comedy of what happens when a neuroscientist writes two songs based on surveys. It's...strange to say the least.

We're taking a look at Dr. House's tribute to the New Orleans sound. You've seen him diagnose patients and sometimes play piano with them, but here he shows his love by covering a whole host of songs. But seriously we're bringing back our discussions of covers or interpretations, and actors getting music deals. Video of Irma Thomas Dolly Parton, Dr. John & Alan Toussaint: https...

We're back! It's a bit of a longer intro this time, explaining a bit of where we've been and what we've got upcoming. Skip to 1:10 or so if you just want to get into it.  Links for referenced things:  Pyramids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMV31MWIjLE Self Control Live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBO7Ud4DeV8&t=142s Night's Musical Frission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D80...

Check out the full song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Lyvv_bhzD0 We're back! Sorry we've been away for a bit, there's been a few things happening that was keeping us from recording. I (Dan) should have probably posted something about it but there was a lot going on and I slipped, sorry (hopefully absence makes the heart grow fonder?)  We address that in the episode, as well as the fact th...

Dan and Josh are getting METAL on this one. We may still be in Halloween mode.

Happy Halloween! We've got a short-y here, and we're trying something new. We may occasionally do a deeper dive into a single song. This one seems to have kind of broken Josh a bit, so we wanted to see why. 

Dan and Josh are getting into Synth-y Psych-Jazz today in the cool album from The Comet is Coming.  

Join us for a dive into the Irish supergroup Solas. We discuss the album, what's a cover and what's just playing a folk tune, and what's a fiddle?

No album today, Josh wanted to talk on mic about how we feel things have been going. On a note, thanks to everyone who listens, it's really cool that y'all are here for what we have to say, and we're having fun with it.

Come and check out some blistering licks with us and our special guest John Longo! We're looking at Slash's Apocalyptic Love this time. Check out Longo's band Bendt at https://www.bendtmusic.com/

Hey everyone, we're actually taking a small break this week. The episode is saying basically the same thing, there's just been a good bit happening and we needed to do a quick pause. Check back in in two weeks and we'll be back!

We're genre hopping once again! This week we've got Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, which seems like a good country album until it gets weird (and cool.)
