This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in QUICK HITS
“Before listening to this album, I never once thought to myself “have Neil Young & Daft Punk ever been seen in the same room at the same time?”. Now it is all I can think of.”
“Reggae is Jamaican gospel music and, like me, you probably don't listen to enough of it. So, if your local congregation is a white flocks with a zero dread count, just start worshipping at home with albums like this.”
EPISODE 67 kicks off with some old skool Bobbie Gentry (who I've been listening to thanks to Season 2 of Fargo) and before things close out with American “hey… is that the guy from Car Seat Headrest?” Holly, you'll hear ace tunes from Twerps, Joan Shelley, Matthew E White + a handful more makers of tasty ear candy.
“Strangers is an evolution of what has come before but the core of what draws the listener in is still there, unchanged.”
“Lazer Fight Through Space + Seinfeld Bassline + Speaker 'Bout To Pop + Don’t Tell Me To Don't Touch The Dial + Arcade End Credits = Excellent Music For Hitting The Exercise Bike Extra Hard.”
EPISODE 084 kicks off with something from Okkervil River's excellent new album, and before things close out with something from A Singer Of Songs excellent new album you'll hear a bunch of other tracks off excellent new albums.
“Soft indie pop with dreamy, ethereal tones... the overall theme is a bit sispirited, but the lustrous guitar play and thumping drum beats create a divine atmosphere these folks use to their advantage by then layering, and entangling the listeners ear to their hazy appealing vocals, yet seemingly angelic on the harmonies...”
“Pretty sure my 'past not listening' to this album is directly related to my 'past not exercising'. After rocking this in the headphones, I think my previous routine of watching Judge Judy from the stationary bike is in serious danger of being replaced by something much more conducive to working up a sweat.”
EPISODE 70 has some old tunes and some new tunes and some oldish new tunes and some newish old tunes and even a new cover of an old tune. The end result is a pretty sweet soundtrack to a 36 minute part of your day.
“By just reading the title names, you know that you are entering into some uncharted territory musically. Bon Iver newest album, although lacking in what I feel drew me into his initial sphere of music, has taken quite a big risk with this release. I sure as hell am glad that he did.”
“Listening for the first time because I've been on a bit of a 90's kick lately, and because teen me—even though a multi-time Colombia House subscriber who recorded 'Banditos' off the radio & dug King Of The Hill—for some reason never listened to this album before.”
