In this week's bonus episode, friends of the pod, Amanda Allwood and Tyler Scurlock, join us to put together a sixteen album bracket of essential emo records. In this episode, we discuss the sixteen albums, and narrow the list down to eight. In the next episode, we will narrow the list down to our essential emo album, and our "free space" in season three of the pod. Our independent record stores of the week are Criminal Records in Atlanta, Georgia, and Domino Sound in New Orleans, Louisiana.
