We recorded this the day before their new album came out, so we don't talk about that. But we do talk about three of their classic LP's, and it someho...

So he made us listen to Sturgill Simpson's 'Metamodern Sounds in Country Music.'

Eli's out so Michael, Miranda and Eric talk about Frank Ocean, Jai Paul, leaked albums, what we'll be doing in Philadelphia this weekend and more. 

After 199 episodes of our perfect indie rock podcast, we finally give you what you all need most... Advice! We've got you covered on everything from how to deal with dating straight men to how to know when you don't have anything to say about an album. Thanks for listening. Here's to 200 more years of Endless Scroll. 

We're joined by writer Grace Robins-Somerville to talk about new albums by Boygenius and Wednesday. Also, we prod Grace with questions about her music taste and talk about how and why we land on certain things. A classic episode of Endless Scroll.  Subscribe to Grace's new Substack https://ourbandcouldbeyourwife.substack.com/

Q1 of the year is complete,  so we talk about our favorite 2023 music thus far. 

We talk about the new 100 gecs album, '10,000 gecs.' Which leads us to a conversation about hyperpop and what (inevitably) happens when subculture brushes with the mainstream. 

We're flipping our recent bonus episode about Skrillex onto the main feed! Producer Cayla joins us to talk about his unique rise to fame, influence on 2010s pop culture, his pair of new albums and more. 

A $10 patron asked us to talk about Coldplay, so we figured that was one for the main feed. We focus on their first five records, and then the one co-host who accidentally listened to *all* the Coldplay records for this assignment weighs in on their recent ventures. 

We talk about a bunch of new music from February. Avey Tare, Bigxthaplug, Growing Pains, Yo La Tengo, Militarie Gun and much more. 

We review the new Caroline Polachek album. Then, we throw a bunch of our fav artists in a randomizer and argue about their best/worst albums. Jeff Rosenstock, Beach House, The National, and more are discussed. Finally, we play a bit of Which Band is Gayer? 

We review the new Paramore record, discuss cancerous standom, rant about the state of music journalism, and talk chat about the new Pile album :-) 

We talked about bands that feature musicians who went on to become more popular with their next acts. It was just an excuse for a free-range discussion about a lot of different musical corners. Plus, we talked about some recent live shows we've seen. PLUS, we introduce a new game called Which Band is Gayer? How generous, we are. 

We do a quick review segment on the new Samia record. Then we talk about what we've been listening to throughout the last month. Also, Michael and Eli debate whether or not 2022 was a good year for rap. It's a smorgasbord type ep. 

Fall Out Boy are back, and we have thoughts. We talk about all of their albums, their improbable longevity, what they meant to pop-culture in the 2000s, the hoard of proteges they fostered, and where they stand now. 

This week, we talked about artists who only ever released one record, and how that contributes to their legacies. Why is it super normal for hardcore bands but taboo for popstars? Is quality>quantity always a good thing? Is Cardi B onto something? Stuff like that, and more. 

We finally continue our long-delayed Jimmy Journey — our quest to listen to all the Jimmy Eat World records. This week, we listened to 'Clarity' and shared our thoughts. We also listened to 'Clarity' by Zedd, for some reason. Multitudes, folks. 

For our first ep of the new year, we make some (mostly cursed) predictions about what 2023 will entail for music. Where's Phoebe Bridgers going? Who will Jack Antonoff taint next? Are mega-canceled bands gonna make comebacks? AI in music? All that and more. 

To quote Green Day, we were "on Holiday" this week, and therefore didn't record a new ep. But before we head into 2023, we wanted to give everyone access to the first installment of Eli and Miranda's Pop Punk Squad series, where they'll be diving into various eras, micro-trends and bands of the genre's past ~15 years. This one's on neon pop-punk. Happy new year! 

We closed out the year by talking 2022 ephemera. Albums we changed our minds on? Worst internet moments? New trends, good and bad? All that and more. Kinda spicy for a main feed ep! 

We're joined by our producer Cayla to talk about our favorite non-2022 music that we got into this year. Weird SoundCloud shit, obscure 90s bands, legendary titans of rock. The gamut is run. 

At long last, it has arrived. We each count down our 10 favorite albums of 2022. Shocking reveals ensue.  Vote in our AOTY listener's poll: https://bit.ly/3VYBHTs

We talk about the albums from this year that disappointed us most. We're joined by Ian Cohen. Also, Cayla freaked it on the greatest/most cursed name read in our show's history. 

It's here, folks. We begin our end-of-the-year series by sharing each of our five favorite songs of 2022. As always, we surprise each other with our picks. 

We did another mailbag episode — err, wait, sorry. We're legally prohibited from calling it that...Let's try this again. We did another episode where we answered questsions from our listeners. It was a lot of fun. Enjoy. (And don't sue us, Indiecast)
