Endless Scroll

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. 

We review the new Ratboys album, 'The Window.' Then, we examine a growing anxiety among major label types that new artists are harder to "break" than ever. That leads to a winding discussion about music, the internet and where those two things intersect. Cool? Cool. 

This week we're joined by Matt Scottoline from Hurry to discuss power pop. What it is, what it's not, why all the kids are talking about it and much more!    Check out the new album from Hurry here!  https://hurrymusic.com/album/dont-look-back

Miranda and Eli talk to music journalist Michael Tedder about his new book, 'Top Eight: How MySpace Changed Music.' We discuss the unique charms of Myspace, music culture on the internet then vs. now, third-wave emo (and beyond), and much more.  Buy Michael's book here https://www.chicagoreviewpress.com/top-eight-products-9781641606585.php

With Eric and Miranda out for the week, Michael and Eli bring in Chris Keough from Barely March to discuss all things Rivers Cuomo and Weezer. Write in to let us know how YOU feel about Maladroit!

Eric, Michael and Miranda talked about Madonna, among other things. But mostly Madonna. 

Hey everyone! It's been a wild month for us Endless Scroll co-hosts. We've all been traveling a lot. Our producer, Cayla, has especially been traveling a lot. We realize we haven't put out a new main feed episode in a month (the longest gap in Endless Scroll history!) and we apologize for that!  But guess what? We're back. We have bunch of awesome new episodes recorded throughout July that we'll b...

The Militarie Gun album is here, and we have thoughts. Many thoughts! We also review the new Sweeping Promises record. Then, we have a ball playing a new game called Scrolltiple Choice. Bing, bang, boom. 

The year is halfway over, so we each shared our 10 favorite projects of the year so far. Some divergence, but also a 4x4 in the mix! 

This week, Eli, Eric and Michael talk about the recent weddings they went to and discuss what type of music is best and worst suited for celebrations of romantic union. Then, they review the new Feeble Little Horse album. 

This week, in Michael's absence, we tackle a collection of songs from a decade of pop-punk crossover. From Lit to American Hi-Fi to The Academy Is... to We The Kings, we're talking songs Miranda likes more than everybody else. 

This week, Miranda recounts seeing Jeff Rosenstock's recent NYC show, and then we talk about his new single and tour. Then, we review the new Bully record and wade into the latest Jack Harlow album. Is it any better than last year's flop? Listen to find out. 

Yeah....we did a Dimes Square music ep. Talked about The Dare, a bunch of faceless NYC artists trying to do 2001 again, and the new Water From Your Eyes album. 

Eric and Miranda attended the Eras Tour, so they talk about that wild experience along with some obligatory Taylor Takes. Then, we talk about a bunch of new songs by Strange Ranger, Home Is Where, Chris Farren, Spiritual Cramp and more. 

This week the four of us are all back together for the first time in a bit and we're back on the Jimmy Journey! This week we're tackling iconic 9/11 album Bleed American. We are so back.

Eric, Eli and Michael talk about the best (and most mid) stuff they heard in April, including reviews of Indigo De Souza, Liquid Mike, Rae Sremmurd and more. Digressions include: whaaaat is up with Superdrag? And some recap of our Endless Scroll Summit.
