Backtrack: A Music Podcast

We’re back from hiatus to give a highlight reel from the last few months… It involves M listening to a lot of mainstream stuff and J listening to cyber clubby soundcloud trans girl rap type stuff. So, the norm. Also, Crystal Gem Garnet is featured on the KAYTRANADA album, Bouba Savage is not a f***in baby, Madeon releases an album of Madeon type beats, Chuck Sutton floats around in a chromatic kaleidoscope snowglobe, J is waiting on Charli’s invitation to Smash, and M’s car bluetooth is deceptive. Full lineup in the shownotes, and make sure to check out www.backtrackpodcast.com/playlists (or the shownotes) for the companion playlist!

Look. We started recording with the windows open and the fans on because there was a heat wave and now there are crickets in the recording so you’re welcome for this opportunity to get in touch with nature. Anyway, J gets easily distracted by vocoder, M breaks out all of the early 2000s song comparisons, and Blueface… can get it. Straight up. Full lineup in the shownotes, and make sure to check out www.backtrackpodcast.com/playlists (or the shownotes) for the companion playlist!

(continued from Ep. 49) - Ne-Yo teaches us about closed timelike curves, M tries to solfege and second guesses herself even though it’s the easiest melody of all time, J talks about about a lot of gay shit, and we love Burna Boy and we hate corporations #yawadeyo. Full lineup in the shownotes, and make sure to check out www.backtrackpodcast.com/playlists (or the shownotes) for the companion playlist!

We remembered to say our own intro this time! Featuring albums from up and comers YBN Cordae and Rich “bonappeTIT” Brian, meandering friendly robot Cuco, beloved Backtrack regular Tobi Lou, our lord and savior E-40, and Chance The Happy Family Man. Stay tuned for part 2 where we will cover stuff that isn’t albums, but also there are still more albums #albumgeddon2k19!! Full lineup in the shownotes, and make sure to check out www.backtrackpodcast.com/playlists (or the shownotes) for the companion playlist!

Welcome to Backtrack! One of us is M, the other is J, it’s not that important apparently. What IS important is that we have a great intro song this week, so prepare yourself. Also, Freddie Gibbs is like caviar, M wants a Hercules companion album of gospel and soul artists, Dorian Electra is giving us Gregorian chant realness, and J only listens to 4 artists (can you guess what they are based on the last few episodes??). Full lineup in the shownotes, and make sure to check out www.backtrackpodcast.com/playlists (or just the link in the shownotes) for the companion playlist!

Welcome to Backtrack, I’m M and I’m J! Okay now that we got that out of the way, you can go ahead and press play to hear all about RIZ LA VIE’s climate change anthem, Jason Derulo’s hard work on Duolingo, J’s cereal tagline investigation, The Gayest Coverage of the Mustard Album™, Lil Uzi Vert’s new Patek 4 the clubz, plus M and J reenacting the voice clips from DDR Max. 2! (say it like the guy says ddr max 2 in ur head.) Featuring Leikeli47, Imogen Heap (not Jason Derulo). Full lineup in the shownotes, and make sure to check out www.backtrackpodcast.com/playlists (or just the link in the shownotes) for the companion playlist!

J can finally stop listening to onlytom radio rips, Alec Benjamin is the ally we need, Tobi Lou shares his favorite vines, M needs to take a vacation, Satica is the only artist J likes, Dad identifies a bop before we do (as usual), and Lil Nas X solidifies the Cartoon Network hit (?) show Chowder in our collective pop culture psyche. ...Is someone printing something? Featuring Diana Ross, Laura Les. Full lineup in the shownotes, and make sure to check out www.backtrackpodcast.com/playlists (or just the link in the shownotes) for the companion playlist!

[CONTINUED FROM EP 44] Gec gec gec gec gec. And then also, Madeon is back, Cuco has a new single that is “very Cuco” (*sigh* -M editing this episode), Flying Lotus releases his deeply impactful and experimental album and M loves the part where it’s silent for two minutes?? And then things get very queer towards the end of the episode, for Pride Month but also we probably would’ve done that anyway, let’s be real. Featuring Tegan & Sara, Robokid, Todrick Hall, Tyler The Creator again, Mariode, 100 gecs, MUNA, Steve Lacy. This is a gays only event!

Hi. Hello. We are here. Schools out for summer (TM), and its Pride Month. We split the episode up into two parts... so don't be alarmed when it really does not seem like we're wrapping it up at all and there's only 60 seconds left. More is coming, but in part 1 - Charli XCX does a lot of stuff [that is not her album but we still love it], Dominic Fike baffles music journalists over the age of 30, Jai Paul simply exists and we are all indebted to Jai Paul, J listens to a "whole album all the way through" -__- and M still is not down for Chris Brown, like at all. See the show notes for the artist lineup and playlist, or check out www.backtrackpodcast.com/playlists!

We’re giving the people what they want - fresh to death nursery rhymes. Plus I guess other stuff from Jimothy (who can speak Spanish), Mariode the Very Hungry Caterpillar, Kota The Friend, Injury Reserve, Ari Lennox, Bren Joy, fellow KBBQ-lovers Max Styler and Alex Hosking, and more. Also, M learns what Triller is, J has too much dip on their chip / lookin for their chapstick, and C (our Vampire Weekend friend) graciously imparts his wisdom to M.
