This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
EPISODE 076 (which is a little behind its bi-weekly schedule, sorry, I've been moving towns) kicks off with some summer time musings from Jonathan Richman and before things close out with Beach House floating thru your headphones, you'll hear some great tunes from Mutual Benefit, Howard Tate, Lomelda, and a bunch more.
“Simply amazing, the sweet melodic tones gives out a very chill vibe and dreamy affect with every note played.”
“Things I recommend:Root beer floats. Believing in the Loch Ness Monster. Dogs. Going on walks. Drawing. Salt and Vinegar Chips. Super Smash Bros. Ice Cream. Jean Shorts.”
EPISODE 074 kicks off with the excellent Horse Teeth, and before things close out with a stone cold beauty from Mothers, you'll hear: something off the latest Frankie Cosmos album, some oldies from Peter Green and Link Wray, a taste from the upcoming Andy Shauf album, plus a bunch more good stuff.
“Summer is pretty much over, which makes me sad—which I guess also makes me the target market for this lovely comp.”
“Pixar-esque scenes kept flashing in my head. So much so, I think I might've storyboarded a new Disney film. Somebody get me John Lasseter on the phone!”
“Walk 3-4 extra stops before you get on the train! Think of the things you miss down there.”
“Piano and Cello accompany an unmistakably Finks-style song, funny and poignant, emotionally engaging, great arrangement and recording. I love it.”
“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.”
“Even though the internet is a marvellous creation and as a teenager I'm almost expected to go on my phone 24/7, I find it so nice not being sucked into a never ending black hole of celebrities, dog filters and Harambe memes.”
“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.”
“I don't even know where to begin. I stammer and stutter like a nervous teenager asking someone to prom when I start recommending this. It makes me weak in the knees. It is brutal and hilarious and heartbreaking and will make you want to be a better person.”
