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.

It's here, folks. We begin our end-of-the-year series by sharing each of our five favorite songs of 2022. As always, we surprise each other with our picks.

We did another mailbag episode — err, wait, sorry. We're legally prohibited from calling it that...Let's try this again. We did another episode where we answered questsions from our listeners. It was a lot of fun. Enjoy. (And don't sue us, Indiecast)

First, we share our humble thoughts on new albums by Taylor Swift and Dazy. Second, we look back on the best music we heard throughout October 2022. Yeah, that's pretty much it. Now get listenin'!

In ~2013, The 1975 and Arctic Monkeys both achieved Tumblr supremacy and became the new bashtions of modern rock. On their 2022 albums, their creative paths have wildly diverted. In this ep, we talk about the era when they became teen-adored forces, how their music has evolved since, and whether their new records are any good. Many digressions ensue.

This week, without Eli to steer the ship, Eric, Miranda, and Michael have a free-flowing discussion of what makes a niche popstar. By looking at the careers of Tove Lo, Charli XCX, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Robyn, we discuss the nature of pop fame, which of their songs made it to the straight community, and why some are held in higher regard than others.

We start out this week with a friendly game of Would You Rather? Then, we review the new Frankie Cosmos album. Finally, we go way deep on Wild Pink's new record.

This week, we reflect on the roster of a failed and defunct indie label that curated some of the greatest underground rock artists of the 2010s.

We begin this episode with a discussion about Pitchfork's 250 Best Songs of the 1990s list. Who is this for? What function does it serve? Then, we talk about some of our favorite albums from September, including reviews of new records by The Wonder Years and The Beths.

Folks, there's a new Alex G album out as of today, so of course, we're going deep on it. We go track-by-track on the new tunes and ask where everyone comes down on Alex G in general. Plus, Eli discusses a low-quality cassette he recently purchased, and asks "what do we expect from a cassette tape?"
