Disc Picks episodes

  • Postal Service- Give Up

    Join us this week on Disc Picks as we dive into an album that's equal parts heartbreak, synth-pop, and early-2000s indie perfection: Give Up by The Postal Service. The one-off collab between Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard and electronic maestro Jimmy Tamborello some how managed to capture lightning in a bottle, melding introspective lyrics with glitchy beats and delicate melodies. Cue the intro music.

  • Billy Joel- The Stranger

    We've got a special one for you folks, we're without Neil, so we have our very first guest on to discuss this week on Disc Picks, as we head back to 1977 to dive into Billy Joel's The Stranger, an album that took the Piano Man from scrappy Long Island barrooms to global superstardom. With iconic tracks like "Movin' Out," "Only the Good Die Young," and "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant," this record blends pop, jazz, rock, and storytelling into one tight, unforgettable package. Whether you've memorized every lyric or just know him from wedding playlists, this is the album where Billy Joel truly found his voice and made damn sure the world heard it. Let's get into it.
