Weekly Drive-By

Albums reviewed: Theophonos - Ashes in the Huron River [2/9/24], Pissed Jeans - Half Divorced [3/1/24], Mannequin Pussy - I Got Heaven [3/1/24]. The bullets are almost definitely back in the gun. They kinda got quiet after a while though. Craft gin! HBO, I mean, Max's new show The Regime! NEET life! Emma Stone! Sydney Sweeney! Shit's actually kinda good???

Originally recorded I dunno like a month ago? But, we didn't have time to record this week, and we wanted to give the people something. Featured album: gyrofield - A Faint Glow of Bravery [1/12/24] Other albums reviewed: YĪN YĪN - Mount Matsu [1/12/24] and Sonic Youth - Walls Have Ears [2/4/24]. This week, we've got monkeys getting smarter, Emma Stone being reborn stupider in Poor Things, some dic...

Featured album: Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - of the Last Human Being [2/23/24] We're back after an unexpected break with some heat. Special guest Sam, who last talked to us about Alvvays's album Blue Rev last year, once again lends his voice to the Dub D. Bee for some thoughts on the newest season of Max's True Detective. And of course, we pull him into some Strawbango talk, because we're still try...

Featured album: Hoplites - Paramainomeni [1/12/23] Other albums reviewed: Anni Kiviniemi Trio - Eir [1/12/23] and Zazen Boys - Rando [1/24/24]. Relatively quick show today, outside of the music, we're giving our RIP to Mr. Bullets in the Gun himself, Toby Keith, and talking some Zone of Interest.

Featured album: The Smile - Wall of Eyes [1/26/24] Other albums reviewed: Vemod - The Deepening [1/19/24] and SENTRIES - Snow as a Metaphor for Death [1/19/24]We're angling for an Audio Technica and/or Ghost sponsorship and then giving you a few energy drinks that you should absolutely avoid before getting into another old and forgotten American political scandal, presenting an ethical question, a...

This week's featured album: Glass Beach - plastic death [1/19/24]. Other albums reviewed this week: Mary Halvorson - Cloudward [1/19/24], and SLIFT - Ilion [1/19/24]. The move from Birmingham to Philly was a bit... well, not how it was planned. Audio is straight from the mediocre Bluetooth headset, so, expect that, and the Soundboard is on break for a minute, so there's a distinct lack of gunshots...

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 check out a couple low-key albums for our first show of the year, but before that we have to get to the Boeing plane that crashed with all survivors, do some HBO talk with reviews of their documentaries Time Bomb: Y2K and Last Stop Larrimah and a quicker review of the first season of their new show...

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. We talked about spots 10-6 on the last episode, but I'll drop the full Top 10 below. 10. C.O.F.F.I.N - Australia Stops / billy woods & Kenny Segal - Maps 09. ТДК [TDK] - Nemesta...

We went into this with the goal of recording our year-end top ten albums, but if you've ever listened to the show, you know how it goes...we ended up recording for about 4 hours. So instead of hitting you with the whole thing at once, we decided to break it up into two parts. First, one of us has a "Top 5 Albums I Didn't Listen to This Year," then we talk about a few EPs, and then we get to the fi...

Second to last show of the year next week, so we're a little light on our feet here, but hit some of the classic bi...
