Rogan Warning

On the seventy-eighth episode of Audioface:

Well, this is awkward. We planned to review new albums from Offset, Gucci Mane, and 21 Savage, but, well....you'll have to listen to find out. Plus: Offset crashes ex wife-Cardi B's concert, Nicki Minaj's new boyfriend makes XXXTentacion seem tame, and Joe Rogan extends an olive branch to Kanye West.

You'll regret missing it. Subscribe so that doesn't happen. THE 2018 AUDIOFACE AWARDS are coming next week!

The ones that got away

Sean and Dan break from usual format to present the 2018 Courtpacking Episode: in which they mention releases from The Neighbourhood, Sofi Tukker, Børns, Sheck Wes, Pale Waves, and Against All Logic that caught their attention after their initial releases, and thus missed the weekly churn of Audioface. Plus everything you need to know about the Grammy Awards that you shouldn't care about, and Offset and Cardi B divorce for the culture.

Subscribe to the podcast so you don't miss next week's final standard episode, and the week after that for the last episode of 2018: The Audioface Awards!!

Plus: Meek Mill, Wheeler Walker Jr, and Black Thought.

On the seventy-sixth episode of Audioface:

Reviews: Earl Sweatshirt's "Some Rap Songs", The 1975's "Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships", Black Thought & Salaam Remi's "Streams of Thought Vol. 2", 6ix9ine's "DUMMY BOY", Meek Mill's "Championships, and Wheeler Walker Jr.'s "WW III"

New single of the week: Grimes' "We Appreciate Power". Vince Staples EVICERATES Thanksgiving. The Some Rap Songs review. Lorde sets an example for other good musicians. The A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships review. The Streams of Thought Vol. 2 review. DJ Khaled has to pay up.

NO CHILL ISLAND: THE 6IX9INE EDITION: Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails DESTROYS Ted Cruz. Rainbow-haired rapper's life completely falls apart, not to mention his album DUMMY BOY leaked. Rick Ross has harsh words for 6ix9ine, and we have harsher words for Meek Mill's Championships. Nicki Minaj goes to a fake music festival in Shanghai, and Wheeler Walker Jr.'s WW III gives country music fans something to talk about (in hushed tones).

Did we miss an album this year? Let us know by reaching out to @audiofacepod on Twitter or Instagram and we'll check it out on next week's courtpacking episode. We appreciate it, and you. Thank you for listening with us!

Or is this uncomfortable ASMR?

On a special bonus edition of Audioface, a very voice-less Sean and Dan discuss the come up of The 1975, a Manchester pop-alternative band that might be the defining sound of the 2010s. The 1975's upcoming album A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships will be reviewed on Audiofacce #76. Subscribe so you don't miss a single episode, and tell us your favorite songs on Twitter or Instagram. We're @audiofacepod on both.

Plus: Riff Raff gets caught up with the riff raff.
