Savage Beast: Indie Music Podcast

There may not be much difference. This one's for the hardcore fans. We'll be back on our BS next week.

Another DAMN review. The 10 concerts you'll see in hell. Can we ethically consume OK Computer when Joe's audio sounds this bad?

Six more songs that mean a great deal to us. What is nostalgia—is it just like the ocean, under the moon? Also, Paul's desperate attempt to stop Joe from spending a whole hour reviewing a Radiohead concert.

We got into the game for the beefs, and we stayed in it for the minions. Reviews of new music from Drake, Jonwayne, and Kendrick.

We celebrate our one year anniversary by talking about Adore, the beautifully misunderstood 1998 album by The Smashing Pumpkins. It's a miracle that it only took two hours. Thanks for listening—you make us real.

Two classic Talking Heads albums at their unauthorized best move us and groove us. If an artist messes up a release, should fans fix it with a clear conscience? What happens when Paul inadvertently remixes himself? Crap, we started talking about Father John Misty again.

Kool A.D. freestyles over our theme song. For real. Then, Paul and Joe go ungently into the dad rock night with reviews of new albums from Cloud Nothings and Japandroids.

Infamous Italian designer Alex Parisi usurps Joe's place to do what every audio podcast should: discuss things you have to look at with your eyes. We cover a few of pop music's most renowned graphic designers, from the early '70s to the present day, plus new music by Hoops. You WON'T BELIEVE which bands come up. Find links to the designers' sites at http://wwww.savagebeastpod.com/alexart/ PS. Forg...

We pick the best indie rock baby names and discuss perverted versions of Smashmouth’s infamous “All-Star" before launching into a longform comparison of MBV’s classic album “Loveless" with Jay Som’s "Turn Into”.

What’s the best soundtrack for punching Nazis? Our best albums from the last quarter of 2016, of course.

Breaking News: CNN has found kompromat revealing Joe & Paul’s shameful musical secrets. Naturally, we go from there to discussing the “Top 10 High School Albums” meme before deciphering why The xx are so popular.

We go ape over El-P and Killer Mike's big banana of an album. But first, we can't resist complaining about Pitchfork's rock-hating Best of 2016 lists.

Come hide from the future with us! Older albums and tracks we discovered during this garbage year, plus Kanye meets Trump, Dylan accepts his Nobel, and Paul laughs really hard at something dumb Joe says.

We got a theme song just in time for our first real twitter fight with a rock star. Then we take on horrid Christmas standards while admitting our own weakness for certain holiday hits. Just how erotic is Santa?

Paul and Joe process their emotions regarding Donald Trump with a playlist featuring Liars, Death, and X-Ray Spex, among others.

The best albums of the 3rd quarter, including Danny Brown, Jenny Hval, ScHoolboy Q, Frank Ocean, Lucy Dacus, and many more artists who are so hot, they might literally be on fire.

Postmodern parody pandemonium reigns in the first and hopefully last episode to feature Tom Hanks, Amy Schumer, and Fred Armisen. Paul is not a total Hole virgin, but he's close.

Bon Iver strikes back. Joe talks a lot about two things Paul doesn't care about: Nobel Prizes and Bob Dylan. Then, musings on mediocre music criticism that are not at all hypocritical, with lessons from the Book of Bangs.

We confess our guilty pleasures and open the borders of the pod to Foreigner, Britney, Jon Secada, Debbie Gibson, and other secret pop treasures. Reviews of the new Local Natives and LVL UP.

The golden age of television, the golden years of Pinkerton, the golden sounds of H. Leithauser's voice, and the golden garbage of Dirty Projectors. Paul sings!

Introducing Bris Martt: the new celebrity pairing of Brad Pitt and Chris Martin. Paul finally listened to Sufjan's new album. We talk about how hard the Swans are. And finally, our main topic: why do basic people ruin good songs?

In honor of their 25th cast and 20th year of friendship, Joe and Paul record a really dumb episode featuring lazy takes on dozens of bands. At least you get to listen to Joe's latest battle rap first.

After reviewing the new Frank Ocean album, Joe & Paul take a journey through some of history's most epic fails, courtesy of The Rolling Stones, Lou Reed, Neil Young, Our Lady Peace, and The Smashing Pumpkins.

Emo Expert Alex Parisi joins the cast to discuss the history of rock's most sensitive genre.

Joe has shocking news for Paul! Then, for the first and probably last time, we take turns assembling Voltrons of angst, disaffection, and experimental vibes. Includes our reviews of HEAVN by Jamila Woods and the new Dinosaur Jr.
