Endless Scroll

For you this week we have the classic Endless Scroll Structure: an album review and a discussion topic. We go in depth on the issues with the ongoing Spotify discourse, and we talk about the new double LP from Big Thief, 'Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You.' The episode title will make sense, we promise.

Mitski has a new album out after a nearly four year hiatus, so naturally we're dedicating this week's episode to discussing it. We're joined by Mia Hughes, an excellent writer with bylines at Stereogum, Billboard, NME, Revolver, and more.

This week we do another record label deep dive, but a little differently. Because Polyvinyl Records has existed for 25 years, we decided to discuss it through three albums each that we love released by them.

This week on Endless Scroll we review FKA twigs' new mixtape CAPRISONGS, and the debut album from Anxious. We discuss and riff on Spotify vertical videos and Apple Music making album arts into .gifs. Plus, we wax nostalgic for the golden day of the iTunes store.

You'll notice we have new art. This lovely piece was done by Mac Pogue. You can find more of his work on Instagram at @mac_pogue_ or at www.macpogue.com

For the first Endless Scroll of 2022, we think about the year to come and predict what trends we'll see in music. Plus, we discuss our most anticipated records of the year.

We're off this week, please enjoy a gem from our bonus feed. You can access all our bonus content at https://www.patreon.com/endlessscrollpod

This week in the bonus feed we're discussing the discography of 4th wave emo favorites, The Hotelier. Some of us consider this personal canon, one of us gets too deep in the weeds about the difference between emo revival and 4th wave emo, one of us has never listened to the band at all. See if you can guess who is who!

Welcome to the Endless Scroll office Christmas party. Rather than give each other the impersonal gifts of a white elephant swap, we put our spin on Secret Santa. Each host drew the name of another, and recommended them an album they don't already know, and might like. Happy Holidays to you all, and thanks for making 2021 the best yet for our show. We have so much more coming in 2022!

This week we're joined again by writer & friend of the show Emma Madden to discuss their recent article in Entertainment Weekly on the gamification of fandom. You can and should read Emma's piece here: https://ew.com/music/video-games-music-fandom-lil-nas-x-deadmau5/

This week we round out our 2021 wrap-up with an episode that's not about music from this year. We each picked three things we discovered or finally checked out this year and enjoyed to talk about. Plus, we're joined by our beloved producer Cayla!
