EPISODE 53 kicks off with some loveliness from YouYourself&I, and before it closes out with some Wearlyland, you'll hear stuff from Courtney Barnett, Modest Mouse, Flaming Lips and Justin Townes Earle singing about single mothers & absent fathers while his dad sings about not being anybody's daddy now.
“Want to hear the only bad song by Vundabar?That sucks, quite literally there are none.”
PRO: I can finally wear my genuinely vintage (ie. found in a charity store & not American Outfitters) Iron Maiden shirt without the fear of someone asking, “Have you even listened to an Iron Maiden album?”. CON: In the middle of listening I think I might have joined a LARP club.

“In The Shadows reminded me of the first time I heard Sturgill Simpson’s album ‘Metamodern Sounds in Country Music’ which ended up being my album of the year in 2014.

The entire discography of this TX punk is gold.”

“absolutely amazing. you can hear, but more importantly, feel the truth in her music. she has such a natural feel and a melodic intuition that is wickedly developed. unique and perfect.”
