  • Episode 86: Rips - Ex Hex

  • Episode 85: The Cowards Choir

    In 2009, DC-based musico Andy Zipf decided it was time for a change, and thus The Cowards Choir was born. What was initially a “solo” project (there were always collaborators) has developed into a full-fledged band featuring fellow DC-area stalwarts Ryan Walker on bass, Ben Tufts on percussion and Adam Neubauer on drums, and October 4th, the quartet released their latest effort, Cool Currency.

    Fresh off the release of that EP (and we do mean fresh…as in the morning after the release show), Andy and the guys stopped by the basement to talk about, the making of Cool Currency, the evolution of The Cowards Choir to date, their upcoming slot at the Magnificent Intentions Music Festival, and more.

    It’s a super-caffeinated episode of ChunkyGlasses: The Podcast that you’re gonna want to put in your ears right….now.

    In this week’s “bonus” podcast, we take Weezer’s latest album, Everything Will Be Alright in the End, to task with the help of DCist music editor, Tori Kerr. Is it the new Pinkerton, or is it just the same old latter day Weezer that we’ve grown to know and (some of us, maybe) love. PLUS we discuss the impact of Thom Yorke’s BitTorrent release on his fanbase, independent musicians and more. All of this and an ACTUAL bonus commentary from Weezer SUPERFAN Thor Slaughter (check the Show Notes) on Episode 84 of ChunkyGlasses: The Podcast!

  • Episode 81: Sukierae - Tweedy
    In our latest episode: We review the new album Sukierae from Tweedy. Wilco front-man Jeff Tweedy and his son Spencer may have the most appropriate band name ever, but does that familial familiarity translate to record? Is it nepotism, genius or somewhere in between? PLUS! Rawk feuds, U2 proposes a new music format that will “save the industry” and snacks - oh so many snacks - on Episode 81 of ChunkyGlasses: The Podcast!

  • Episode 79: Manipulator - Ty Segall
    Love him or hate him, Ty Segall has proven to be one of the most prolific and consistent artists working in music today, and on his latest effort, Manipulator, he airs out the garage a little to produce his most polished work to date. Does it work? Is it the “album of the year” as many have claimed? Kevin, Adam, and Quinn get to the bottom of these questions PLUS consider the art of the ridiculous band name on Episode 79 of ChunkyGlasses: The Podcast!
