Endless Scroll

We review Olivia Rodrigo's 'Guts' and vent about some of the irksome writing/dialogue around it. We also talk about the new Angel Du$t record! But most importantly, Michael introduces a new sketch, The Michael Minute, where he shares his takes on some records we've recently talked about without him on the pod. Packed ep. Let's go.

First, we catch up on some recent live music we've seen. Then, we go deep on new albums by Mitski and Vagabon.

Happy Labor Day! We're talking the new Jeff Rosenstock album! The new Armed album! The new Mannequin Pussy song! And whatever else we've been listening to throughout August.

We review the new Ratboys album, 'The Window.' Then, we examine a growing anxiety among major label types that new artists are harder to "break" than ever. That leads to a winding discussion about music, the internet and where those two things intersect. Cool? Cool.

This week we're joined by Matt Scottoline from Hurry to discuss power pop. What it is, what it's not, why all the kids are talking about it and much more!

Miranda and Eli talk to music journalist Michael Tedder about his new book, 'Top Eight: How MySpace Changed Music.' We discuss the unique charms of Myspace, music culture on the internet then vs. now, third-wave emo (and beyond), and much more.

With Eric and Miranda out for the week, Michael and Eli bring in Chris Keough from Barely March to discuss all things Rivers Cuomo and Weezer. Write in to let us know how YOU feel about Maladroit!

Eric, Michael and Miranda talked about Madonna, among other things. But mostly Madonna.

Hey everyone! It's been a wild month for us Endless Scroll co-hosts. We've all been traveling a lot. Our producer, Cayla, has especially been traveling a lot. We realize we haven't put out a new main feed episode in a month (the longest gap in Endless Scroll history!) and we apologize for that!

But guess what? We're back. We have bunch of awesome new episodes recorded throughout July that we'll be doling out over the next few weeks, so you'll be getting more new Endless Scroll content than ever in August. Starting with this episode.

In this one, Michael, Miranda and Eli talk about new music from Loma Prieta, The Menzingers, MJ Lenderman, Taking Meds and more. Then, we take a look at Pitchfork's "Songs of the Summer" list, comment on some of their choices, and then share our own songs of Summer 2023.

Thanks for all the support as always. Enjoy!

The Militarie Gun album is here, and we have thoughts. Many thoughts! We also review the new Sweeping Promises record. Then, we have a ball playing a new game called Scrolltiple Choice. Bing, bang, boom.
