  • Pitchfork gives music 6.8
    Episode Summary

    This week Nat & Jesse talk WWE, Vince McMahon’s new mustache, Trump’s first indictment (this was recorded in like late April or early May of 2023 I’m sorry we are behind!), and Nat’s new album!!! It’s so good! Go buy it!

    Also, eventually we talk about what we’re calling “Pitchfork core”. If you don’t know what that is… you do. If you were listening to non-top 40 music between 2003 and 2015 you’ll be at home here.

    P.S. Ian Cohen can catch these hands. Stop giving everything that even has a hint of emo a 6.0 or less!

                Episode Summary

                😂 So Nat lost his audio so this is the Zoom audio backup, hence me doing a

                countdown at the top.

                This week we have our second guest ever, Mike S! Mike has a really rad history

                and relationship with music, specifically jazz & punk and we dive in and discuss
                both thoroughly this week. Also, our shownotes have a character limit so I
                favored linking less-known stuff. We mention probably over 100+ bands this
                episode. So if I wasn’t able to link it here… pop a Goog.
