Endless Scroll

First, we share our humble thoughts on new albums by Taylor Swift and Dazy. Second, we look back on the best music we heard throughout October 2022. Yeah, that's pretty much it. Now get listenin'! 

In ~2013, The 1975 and Arctic Monkeys both achieved Tumblr supremacy and became the new bashtions of modern rock. On their 2022 albums, their creative paths have wildly diverted. In this ep, we talk about the era when they became teen-adored forces, how their music has evolved since, and whether their new records are any good. Many digressions ensue. 

This week, without Eli to steer the ship, Eric, Miranda, and Michael have a free-flowing discussion of what makes a niche popstar. By looking at the careers of Tove Lo, Charli XCX, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Robyn, we discuss the nature of pop fame, which of their songs made it to the straight community, and why some are held in higher regard than others. 

We start out this week with a friendly game of Would You Rather? Then, we review the new Frankie Cosmos album. Finally, we go way deep on Wild Pink's new record. 

This week, we reflect on the roster of a failed and defunct indie label that curated some of the greatest underground rock artists of the 2010s. 

We begin this episode with a discussion about Pitchfork's 250 Best Songs of the 1990s list. Who is this for? What function does it serve? Then, we talk about some of our favorite albums from September, including reviews of new records by The Wonder Years and The Beths.

Folks, there's a new Alex G album out as of today, so of course, we're going deep on it. We go track-by-track on the new tunes and ask where everyone comes down on Alex G in general. Plus, Eli discusses a low-quality cassette he recently purchased, and asks "what do we expect from a cassette tape?"

Built to Spill put out their first album in seven years, so we dove in head-first. Reviewed the record, shared our varying opinions on their discography, and then launched into a broader discussion about what makes an indie band a "legacy act" vs. an "active band who've been around for a minute."  Help Topshelf Records https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/topshelfrecords/we-need-your-help-to-save-...

We're off this week as two of our hosts move and another is traveling, but enjoy this unlocked bonus episode. Recorded back in May, Eric, Michael, and Miranda spent time with Sufjan Stevens' heartbreaking 2015 album Carrie and Lowell . It's a really fun and lovely conversation about a beautiful record. We hope you enjoy

In this freewheeling episode of Endless Scroll, we examine the new Taylor Swift announcement, the VMAs, and where they fit into society without a monoculture. Plus, our favorite music from August. Michael gives out his gamer tag on air, Eli learns what PUBG is, Miranda talks about Cake, and Eric reveals their hours logged in Stardew Valley. It's a good time. 

We start this week's show interrogating a song we think is bad. Then, we have a lengthy conversation about the way forums like Rate Your Music and /mu affect the canonization of music and inform people's taste. Music, the internet, and where those two things intersect bay-beeee. 

This week, we tackle the catalog of Sub Pop Records. Specifically, how the label's sound has changed through each decade, what it means to be an Indie Rock Institution, 2000s indie vs. 90s indie, the function labels like Sub Pop serve today, and our favorite records they've ever put out. 

This week we look back at some bands who Had A Moment.   

On this week's episode, we dive back into our mailbag and answer listener questions on everything from album sequencing to our "celebrity" encounters. Plus, our takes on Beyoncé's Rennaisance. 

This week, we discuss the new singles from dreamo-turned-vibe mongers Turnover, and wonder what's going on over there. Then, we review the new Florist album. Lastly, we each plug some of our favorite records we heard in July. It's a packed ep! 

This week, your four favorite buckaroos take on the music of country-pop icons, The Chicks. We talk about two of their albums and several singles, interrogate the sound and vibe of Nineties country, and wonder whether any modern artist could be genuinely cancelled the way The Chicks were for speaking out against the Iraq War. Plus, some 1975 chatter. 

A patron of the show asked that we talk about Radiohead. However, Radiohead's discography is far too complicated for a simple rundown of each record. Instead, we brought in an expert to discuss the band more broadly. We're joined this week by UPROXX's Cultural Critic and the author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's Kid A and the Beginning of the 21st Century , Steven Hyden. With Steve, we discu...

This week, Eric, Eli, and Michael look back at June in music by each discussing an album they liked from the last month. Plus, they review the new album from Soccer Mommy and play an Alex G themed game to celebrate his new single. 

It's our Albums of the Year (So Far) episode for 2022! We did things differently this time, though, and included music that didn't come out this year, but that we're just getting into in 2022. 

Following Eli's controversial tweet that The Sidekicks are "the most overrated underrated band," we decided to dive into the cult-adored indie-punk group to explore the music they made and the lasting impact they've had on the world they came from. We're joined by returning guest Mo Troper, singer-songwriter, power-pop pundit and longtime Sidekicks-head. 

This week's episode is dedicated to a very Endless Scroll-core band: Joyce Manor. We discuss our feelings on the band and their new album, 40 Oz. to Fresno. We also unpack what exactly makes an album an Endless Scroll 4 for 4. Plus, an update on our Camp Trash iTunes Challenge.

The title says it all this week, folks. Since albums from '97 turn 25 this year, we went through and picked three of our favorites each and talked about why we like them. 

This week, with Miranda off to work on the next Endless Scroll zine, Eric, Eli & Michael do some album review housekeeping. After discussing the hushed & divisive new Alex G single, we give our thoughts on the massive new albums from Ethel Cain, Wilco, and Kendrick Lamar. 

This week we review 'Come Home The Kids Miss You,' the new album from Jack Harlow, and discuss him as a figure in music. Can this man we're told is charming win over our hosts? Then, we each pick some of our favorite maligned pop songs; Songs that aren't quite guilty pleasures, we know they're bad, but we like them anyway.  

Hello! We had recorded an episode with a guest we know you all like this week, but due to technical difficulties, that episode won't be out until next month. Instead, this week's episode is an unlocked one from our bonus feed. Here is its original description: We're back with another bonus episode! This time we're here to discuss the discography of Arctic Monkeys. Some are revisiting, some are exp...
