10/10 You're Great

THIS WEEK: It's a thanksgiving miracle because album time is actually good? Too bad its like 3 hours into the podcast when we get there but hey that's content, baby it just goes on forever. It's like heaven-- infinite in each direction but its all just clouds. Also the album we talk about is Braid's 1998 classic, Frame & Canvas. Also the month is emo themed, it's a whole thing. Also also also...

For the final and for real LAST WEEK OF HALLOWEEN TIMES we did the ultimate spooky guy thing and talked about John Carpenter and his music forever. We did not talk about Fear 3 because its a huge stinker and this is an anti-gamer podcast, but do not play it. Also up for discussion: Everyone can do a voice but Charlie, a very tea-sty BevCheck, and lots of albums celebrate their birthdays which happ...

TONIGHT THIS WEEK TONIGHT -- The boys do Yet Another Memorable Episode where they talk the Kings (of Queens) of Rock (and Stone). These dudes invented hitting a rock against a twig to start a fire and you have to respect that because it led to our very cool current climate situation. Also up for discussion: Chris' nightmares come true (wet edition) and a Chilean man hugs Charlie and later informs...

UH OH AUTUMN! Someone who we wont name (Christopher Redacted ) could not make the session this week so hell has frozen over and we have pulled one from the vault. Luckily it's an episode with our delightful hoodrat friend Brian, who walks us through his lifelong love affair with the world's best bar rock band: The Hold Steady. Also up for discussion: Various cities in California are named in what...

It's that famous month: the one with Halloween in it. If you can find a name that doesn't include spooky (too obvious), haunted (ghosts are likely fake) or spoopy (the Hague awaits you) than we would love to hear it. Anyways the album is Pretty Hate Machine and per Lucas, we Pretty Much Hate Mixing Chris (who is too quiet and therefore we demand you pretend he is a ghost, haunting this episode.) A...

Chris absolutely should have been forced to write this as the thinking man simply cannot be thinking of Centipede Hz, Animal Collective's follow-up to Merriweather Post Pavilion. I am contacting the dictionary pavilion should be spelled with two Ls, that's crazy. Also up for discussion: TayTay enters another fraught celebrity deathmatch, Katy Perry's album gets rave reviews, and the concept of Evi...

This week one of the hosts is totally absent and you have to assume it only made the pod better as the twost remaining lads discuss the Antler's underrated Burst Apart. Woe be to the man who has to follow up Hospice and yet here we are. Also up for discussion: the P in P Diddy is for prison (sorry for making light of horrendous crimes) and the P in for Katy P is for Perry. 10/10 You’re Great is pr...

TONIGHT THIS WEEK TONIGHT: We have another hot guest, Brian, and he is willing to stretch the limits of Sequel September to include side projects (the sequels of the heart) for a discussion of everything Bon Iver except the albums he did under that name. Also up for discussion: The song of the summer must be decided by the Supreme Court who must be dismantled, four lads enter the Shouting Over Eac...

Its Sequel September and you know what that means-- or at least I hope you know what that means because it's difficult to explain and we haven't really nailed it down yet. Regardless, we kick it off with a totally apropos choice, Wolf Parade's second (sequel) album, At Mount Zoomer. Also up for zooming: Lana Del Ray loves some sort of gator-blooded hoodlum and we unpack the drama amidst the lies,...

NEWSFLASH: It turns out all we needed to make this music podcast work was to have someone who could talk about music on it-- we cannot normally do that but luckily we had a blessed savior this week with our wonderful guest Leanne [OTHER IDENTIFYING INFORMATION REDACTED] as we discuss her comfort food album: The Life Pursuit by Belle and Sebastian. No spoilers but we three lads were not prepared fo...

TONIGHT THIS WEEK TONIGHT we take a somber moment to apologize to you, the listener: we got too lost in the sauce at the zoo and could not keep this episode on the rails as we discuss J Dilla's classic record, Donuts. Also up for discussion: Getting slurped at the Zoo, Ke$ha and Pitbull must remain friends or I will commit atrocities, and the corniest movie that captured our exact demographic and...

Hot August Bites continues with what is likely the least hot food there is: salad. Ice cream is not a food that's a desert. Anyways for this enterprising entre we three lads explore Mac DeMarco's 2014 slacksterpiece, Salad Days. Per Wikipedia Mac calls his genre "jizz jazz" which we do not say on the pod or ever again I am buying the flashing thing from Men In Black. Also up for discussion: We mar...

Hot August Bites continues with what will almost certainly prove to be the only album Chris had never heard before! That's right, its the sensation among 16 year old boys who were 6 when it came out for some reason: Fashion Nugget by Cake. I give my nuggets fashion by swabbing them in atomic sauce, if you're wondering. Also up for discussion: The boys hit T-Mobile park for the express purpose of e...

On this week's 10/10 You're Great we talk hot cakes, hoe cakes, and the inevitable downfall of late stage capitalism (unrelated) by exploring MF DOOM's chompular snacktastrophe MM..FOOD. PR agencies please hire me I can invent embarrassing words. Also up for discussion: A double BevCheck which comes with a hint of ketchup-smelling romance, Fred Durst promotes a limp dipshit (Drake) and oh yeah, th...

The photo used for this week's album is just one I fished out of a box while cleaning someone's house, showing a grandpa looking forlornly at an astronaut. Unlike the ones with VK our cat or Chris with the cookies, there is no inside joke here, it just is what it is-- and the same can be said of tonight's album Celebration Rock. It is Celebration Rock. Also rock for celebration: Katy Perry is bann...

This weeks episode answers the age old question: What if Alvin and the Chipmunks jammed hard and loud? Turns out the answer is Spiderman of the Rings but the second answer would've been Bromst, Dan Deacon's less-chipmunky (Theodore has gone solo) but still pretty jamming second album. Why were there like three lady chipmunks did they ever explain that? That was really weird I didn't like it. Also...

In a nation called Condiment Country a very special album is moving and grooving and its name is Emperor Tomato Ketchup (it's a monarchy). In this week's episode we discuss the divine right of kings and also whether or not the album by Stereolab is a jam which it is-- and it had better be because I'm hearing they made it in a lab for stereos. Also up for discussion: Hot dogs, bananas and beverages...

TONIGHT THIS WEEK TONIGHT -- We return to Return to Cookie Mountain mountain on what is (it turns out) its 18th birthday. After this we're sending you off to die in a war, son! Also up for discussion: a Red Bev Redemption, Beck's folk masterpiece enters middle age, and a TTYG legend has passed. 10/10 You’re Great is presented by The Alternative . Support the site and our show on Patreon . Follow u...

The prequel returns for the first time to right the wrongs of the future present past. We recorded this episode some time back in case we had a week where we couldn't meet up and then Lucas' mouth exploded, Chris went on a long family vacation and Charlie puttered around and took a nap since that's his two friends accounted for. In this episode we reveal why we named these bonus episodes such a st...

Chris is getting frustrated that we are not superfamous yet so he insisted we do the obvious thing and cover an album that no one has ever heard of. Good thing the album he chose is saucy and bossy and sounds 100% exactly like Bee Thousand by Guided by Voices and also exactly like Who Could It Be Now if that was written by Sting or some other non Australian. Note to self: google if Sting from Aust...

In this episode we do not talk about what Kanye has been up to lately. I know that's morally irresponsible because inaction in the face of hatred is complicity but also: we didn't want to do it! It's bad to do Nazi stuff, sorry but you already knew that. That damning preamble aside, this is a good album so we enjoyed talking about it. The episode is kind of a grower because Chris woke us up from c...

The future of content is reacting to content and boy are we content to do that! Some magazine released a list of the 300 greatest albums and its wrong by virtue of not being written by us, three guys who combined recognize upwards of 10 albums. Spoiler alert: Astro Lounge is NOT represented. Also in this episode: we get a new BevCheck and BevCheck theme (!), and Drake dives into an embarrassing si...

We didn't stop posting, to everyone's regret. Yes, for this very special episode we posted on a Friday, which we will also be doing perfectly forever from now on. Also hey, we talk about LCD Soundsystem's self-titled debut LCD Soundsystem. That's the name of the band! Also also we saw them live and enjoyed it! Wow! Also up for discussion: We make expensive real estate moves, and an exceedingly tho...

This week we celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Go! Team's criminally underrated (and criminally produced) debut album Thunder, Lightning, Strike. For like five years I could have sworn it was called Tiger, Lightning, Strike because of the Tiger on the cover. To never make that error again I've replaced the tiger with our horrible baby, Violet. Also found in this episode: Music is ranked by som...

CURSED BY GOD: This episode is FULL of flubs and was our SECOND TRY doing this album so we had to PUT IT OUT. Please ignore EVERY SIN WE COMMIT (including perjury, not knowing how to sync Bluetooth, and lots of hemming and hawing) as we three hims try to discuss Cloud Nothing's 20XX album, Here And Nowhere Else. Unlike this podcast, it is a talented expression of ideas! Also an actual trigger warn...
