On this second episode of Backtrack, we break what little format we had. Not super promising. M also confidently states that Major Lazer and Sean Paul have never collaborated, which… isn’t close to true. We added their m u l t i p l e collaborations to the companion playlist so that it’s abundantly clear that that’s not the case. Look, we never claimed we were authorities on this stuff. Featuring Janelle Monáe’s gratuitous use of halftime breakdowns, Post Malone’s cartoonish smile, Janet Jackson, bo en, Pnau, X Ambassadors & The Knocks.

Welcome to our pilot episode of Backtrack, where siblings M & J chill in a car and play fun tunes for each other while struggling to describe them using words other than ‘lit’, ‘sick’, and ‘classic.’ The basic idea is that we recap some of the week’s music news, and at some point we each have a new-ish track and an old-ish track to talk about more in depth. Essentially, instead of constantly texting each other about songs we want the other to listen to, we force each other to listen to them and then record the whole thing. Featuring Full Crate, In The Blue Shirt, Ryan Hemsworth, and Avicii (RIP Avicii, 1989-2018). See the show notes or visit www.backtrackpodcast.com/playlists for the companion playlist!
