Mariah Carey, the Queen of Christmas, goes head-to-head with everyone's favorite blockhead, Charlie Brown. Lucas and Cail bring you a face-off you can deck the halls with. 

Christmas Playlists:

1. Sounds & Pressure Presents: A Very Reggae Christmas 
2. AvA presents: A Sad Bastard Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, one and all!

Cail and Lucas get down to the riddim with Vancouver's own Corey Poluk (aka Young Royal), famed reggae-and-soul DJ. Take a trip through the history of Jamaican music with Pat Kelly leading the way, with stops at Skaville, Sad-Town and the Astoria.

Congratulations to HAIM, who were nominated this week for Album of the Year and Best Rock Performance in the 2021 Grammy Awards.  Do we have great timing or what? 

The boys are not trying to break your heart, but they will entertain you. Lucas and Cail are joined by Mack Gordon from Theatre In the Dark for a deep-dive into this seminal record from one of Chicago's finest.

"Well same old Bobby, same old beat, TEN episodes and that's a feeeeeEEEat, well easy come and easy gooooooo..."  

Cail talks about the debut album from South London's favorite son King Krule, and how it impacted his life. Lucas brings the sizzle with Man Alive!—the newest record. 

Come join us for a (pub) crawl through the streets of London.

Welcome to AvA Lite, a snack-sized version of our regular episodes. Lucas and Cail debate which folk festival lover had the better "quarantune" release — T. Swift or Robin Pecknold?

It's here — our first "versus" episode. The expectation-bucking Kid A goes head-to-head with Amnesiac, guided by the shining light that is Jordan Klassen. 

• Check out Jordan's music videos here.
• Listen to "Tell Me What To Do" on your preferred streaming service.

Are you alright with a slow burn? Kacey Musgraves sure is, and so are we. The boys have their first guest, longtime friend/music aficionado Matthew Walko come by to discuss Golden Hour, the bonafide country-pop slam dunk from Nashville's favorite daughter.  

Big shout-out to Matt for our new theme song and segment intros!!
