Get ready for it, we kick things off this week with “News with Nick.” Brian Wilson’s conservatorship, Vultures 1 tops the charts, and four Beatles biopics are up for discussion.

Song: Tapir! - “Unknown”

Next up, Greg brings us “Three For Thursday.” Idles latest album Tangk is their first work with producer Nigel Godrich and the band, while staying true to form, delves appropriately deeper with the new producer than on past albums. The influential Squarepusher is out with a new album, as is Australian progressive metal band Caligula.

Songs:

Idles - “Gratitude”

Squarepusher - “Wendorlan”

Caligula’s Horse - “The Stormchaser”

Jay has prepared charts and diagrams to breakdown the drama over the Eagle’s long lost, or apparently stolen, handwritten lyrics to Hotel California. First lent, in the late 1970s, to writer Ed Sanders for an unpublished book about the Eagles, the handwritten drafts were sold to a rare manuscript dealer. The dealer, Glenn Horowitz, is now being charged, along with two other individuals, with “possession of stolen property.” We attempt to unravel the story, with moderate success.

Song: Brigitte Calls Me Baby - “Eddie My Love”
