We wouldn't leave you out in the cold during The Season of Lists, no matter how less-than-prolific we've been in podcasting as of late. We're drafting in anticipation of Pitchfork's 50 Best Albums of 2023 and you're currently anticipating listening to said draft. Love you.

It's just Feist this time, folks. Maybe that's all it needs to be.

Will Caroline Polachek finally make whatever album The Website's been apparently disappointed in her for not making yet? Can you teach an old cartoon band new tricks? Is there any good reason to spend twenty minutes talking about The Grammys in 2023?

Who cares! Listen to podcast. Love podcast.

We're looking at the most anticipated albums of 2023. We're making a return trip to the vibe known as Mac DeMarco. And somewhere in the middle we're continuing our extremely scientific project of distilling the entirety of the 1990s into a one-song playlist.

Continuing our newer habit of secondary and tertiary deep dives, we're going back to Weyes Blood! But first, we kick off a multi-episode project that's very hard to explain but it involves Mack probably hiding a CD-R in some bushes in Griffith Park. Or something.

Editor's note: Apologies for the late posting here. We had hoped to get the episode out before The Website's Weyes Blood review. However, I ended up getting my foot stuck in a large hole. Now, you may think that the largeness of the hole would make it easy to get one's foot out. You don't know this hole. Anyways, that delayed things somewhat. Best New Podcast regrets the error.

We talk about the Best of the 1990s lists. We talk about Arctic Monkeys. We TALK about Taylor Swift. You're truly not going to find this much talking, about these specific topics, in this specific order anywhere else in Podcastland. That's the Best New Podcast guarantee!

Disclaimer: Due to some unfortunate technical problems, the audio on the Arctic Monkeys segment is...not up to our usual standards. Apologies. Best New Podcast regrets the error.
