We bring back our Album Dare series this week, talking about Nick Cave's Let Love In and PJ Harvey's To Bring You My Love!

This week we dive deep into a topic that most music lovers have some stake in: collections! What makes a good collection? When does it become unwieldy or unhelpful?

Albums of the Week:

This week we talk about some April releases, including new albums by Amulets, Hiraki, Monobody, and Iglooghost. Enjoy!

Albums of the Week:

This week we're back with another Book Club, this time discussing a semi-recent biography on the German experimental rock band Can.

Albums of the Week:

This week we get loosey-goosey and talk about whatever, though we do start off talking about last week's albums of the week (Fever Daydream by The Black Queen and Toxicity by System of a Down). But the subjects range from Insane Clown Posse (yes, no joke) to the limits of using words to describe music.

Albums of the Week:

This week we discuss four albums with birthdays this month: Wayne Shorter's Speak No Evil (technically it came out in June, but whatever), Sticky Fingers by the Rolling Stones, Massive Attack's Blue Lines, and Mutter by Rammstein.

This week we talk about 3 of 2021's latest albums, including Ming Ming by Otay:onii, Promises by Floating Points & Pharaoh Sanders, and Oh No by Xiu Xiu.

Albums of the Week:

This week we discuss Deep Listening, a compilation of sorts of texts by Pauline Oliveros and people she's worked with in the past. While we aren't the biggest fans of the book as a book (if that doesn't make sense, just listen to the episode for context) we do find the practice of Deep Listening interesting, and discuss at length our own steps in trying to bring more active listening into our own lives.

Albums of the Week:

Scott: Demigod—Slumber of Sullen Eyes

JimJam: Oneohtrix Point Never—Replica

After some initial silliness (as to be expected on this podcast), we dive into this month's anniversaries: Metallica's Master of Puppets, Slint's Spiderland, Daft Punk's Discovery, and Opeth's Blackwater Park.

Albums of the Week:

This week we're talking about...well, nothing! And everything! All at the same time! Seriously though, some topics today in our "freeform" episode: Patreon and the bigger issues involving making a living as an artist, and rating distribution and bias in RateYourMusic and SputnikMusic.
