Featured album review: Hauntologist - Hollow [1/8/24] Other albums reviewed: Narbeleth - A Pale Crown [1/5/24]One of the most freewheeling shows we've done in a while, covering topics as far as apart as why we stand with the Vodka Belt against Tito's and the formal mathematical definition of a limit (minor historical mistake on that one - I'll correct it on next week's show). And of course, the Du...

Albums reviewed this week: Sprints - Letter to Self [1/5/24] and Kala Azar - Kala Azar [1/5/24].

We're still on holiday break here, but we've got another early show lined up. Originally recorded on 12/5/21, we watched Nomadland and decided if it lived up to its Best Picture expectations. We'll be officially back next week with our first show of 2024.

Jumping right back into it, in the second half of the show we give our Top 5 albums of the year. Big thanks to any and all of the listeners this year, and to all of the musicians and artists we've talked about.
