We do a quick review segment on the new Samia record. Then we talk about what we've been listening to throughout the last month. Also, Michael and Eli debate whether or not 2022 was a good year for rap. It's a smorgasbord type ep. 

Fall Out Boy are back, and we have thoughts. We talk about all of their albums, their improbable longevity, what they meant to pop-culture in the 2000s, the hoard of proteges they fostered, and where they stand now. 

This week, we talked about artists who only ever released one record, and how that contributes to their legacies. Why is it super normal for hardcore bands but taboo for popstars? Is quality>quantity always a good thing? Is Cardi B onto something? Stuff like that, and more. 

We finally continue our long-delayed Jimmy Journey — our quest to listen to all the Jimmy Eat World records. This week, we listened to 'Clarity' and shared our thoughts. We also listened to 'Clarity' by Zedd, for some reason. Multitudes, folks. 

For our first ep of the new year, we make some (mostly cursed) predictions about what 2023 will entail for music. Where's Phoebe Bridgers going? Who will Jack Antonoff taint next? Are mega-canceled bands gonna make comebacks? AI in music? All that and more. 

To quote Green Day, we were "on Holiday" this week, and therefore didn't record a new ep. But before we head into 2023, we wanted to give everyone access to the first installment of Eli and Miranda's Pop Punk Squad series, where they'll be diving into various eras, micro-trends and bands of the genre's past ~15 years. This one's on neon pop-punk. Happy new year! 

We closed out the year by talking 2022 ephemera. Albums we changed our minds on? Worst internet moments? New trends, good and bad? All that and more. Kinda spicy for a main feed ep! 

We're joined by our producer Cayla to talk about our favorite non-2022 music that we got into this year. Weird SoundCloud shit, obscure 90s bands, legendary titans of rock. The gamut is run. 

At long last, it has arrived. We each count down our 10 favorite albums of 2022. Shocking reveals ensue.

We talk about the albums from this year that disappointed us most. We're joined by Ian Cohen. Also, Cayla freaked it on the greatest/most cursed name read in our show's history.
