The game we're playing is Scrolltiple Choice, where we ask each other multiple choice questions about our respective tastes, this time broken down into three categories: high-school, college, and present day.

It's the end of the month, so we're catching up on what we listened to in February. We're talking Anxious, Baths, Youth Lagoon, Glixen, Hooky/Winter, and more. 

Friend of the show Grace joins us for an episode of questions and answers, curated by Grace herself! We cover a lot of ground, from what songs we want to soundtrack our funerals and high-school experiences, to the differences between "boyfriend music" and "ex-boyfriend music." Grace has prompts, and Endless Scroll responds.

In this very classic episode of Endless Scroll, we discuss three new albums: Oklou's 'Choke Enough,' Horsegirl's 'Phonetics On and On,' and Sleeper's Bell's 'Clover.' Also, some movie chatter. 

For this month's artist deep dive, we begin our journey with alt-country pioneer Lucinda Williams. In this episode, we tackle her 1988 self-titled and 1992's 'Sweet Old World,' and also take a quick detour into live-reacting to a Martina McBride music video. On the next episode, we'll review Lucinda Williams' next three albums, 'Car Wheels on a Gravel Road,' 'Essence,' and 'World Without Tears.'

In this bonus ep, we listened to all of the Lady Gaga albums, because why not? We discuss her arc from 'The Fame' up through 'Chromatica,' and then comment on her newly released comeback single "Disease."

It's happening. We're doing the Elliott Smith dive. In this episode, we listen to the departed singer-songwriter's first three albums, 'Roman Candle,' 'Elliott Smith,' and 'Either/Or,' reacting to the music and sharing our broader thoughts about his work. In the next episode, which will drop in the bonus feed on January 24th, we'll be continuing this journey with 'XO,' 'Figure 8,' and 'From a Basement on the Hill.'
