Dan and Dave host this episode, which doesn’t follow our usual format because so much has happened in the heavy music world that we wanted to cover. This includes a (hed)p.e. concert review, music news, and albums reviews. Plus we have another blast from [our] past song pic!

In this episode, Dave and I bring on an old friend (who also happens to be a Dave; we refer to him as Beckner to avoid confusion), who has an affinity for high quality audio when it comes to his music consumption. The hope was that he could school us on the sub-par compression that we listen to our digital music with, but the conversation extended much further than that. Enjoy!

Dan and Dave get back to basics and muse on some of the finer points brought up in Sam Dunn’s Metal Evolution series that recently ran its course on VH1. We review Everything is Changing by Anneke van Giersbergen, the former singer of The Gathering. We also discuss the current state of live music and recommend some various music-related things. You’ll just have to listen to find out what! Lastly, we play a song by an up-and-coming Ontario band that definitely has undergone quite the metal evolution.

On the way to a Machine Head show in Norfolk, VA, Dan and Chris find they have nothing better to do than talk, so why not record it? We discuss what led us to our current state of music sensibilities, we review White Wives’s The Happeners, and we review the Machine Show concert just after experiencing it.

In this episode, Dave, Dan, and Chris all happened to be in the same place at the same time, so we decided to record a quick one before we headed out to see Thursday play one of their final shows at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC on their supposed last tour. With the advent of both Thursday and Thrice calling it a day, and with many bands from our formative musical years recently reforming, we focused on this trend of bands breaking up and getting back together.
