For this week's bonus episode, we look back at Turnover's 2015 record 'Peripheral Vision.' Some of us love it, some hate it, and one of us has never heard it until now.

This week we each pick three forgotten, or under-appreciated songs from the catalogs of artists we love. Plus, reviews of the new albums from Rosie Tucker, Origami Angel, and Hey, ily!

This week we discuss new music from Snow Ellet, Sour Widows, and Remember Sports. Plus, we take a look at the very real prospect of live music coming back this year. Listen all the way through for a great bit of Michael Brooks backstory.

This week we're talking narratives. The stories around albums or artists that get repeated over and over, sometimes even to the point of overshadowing the music itself. We use new releases from Greta Van Fleet, The Armed, and The Spirit of the Beehive as our examples, and talk about how we feel about each record.

This week we're joined by writer Aliya Chaudhry, a writer with bylines at Billboard, Kerrang, Water and Music, and more. Aliya guides us along as we dive into the ways Pop Punk has been getting a new life on TikTok.

This week we're joined by the man once named Chicago's Third Best Pizza, Leor Galil! Leor is a senior staff writer for the Chicago Reader and weird food enthusiast. We talk new releases from Xiu Xiu, Dry Cleaning, and Moontype. Plus, we talk to Leor about the Readers recent transition to nonprofit status, and ask him to rate weird food he's eaten.

Well the first quarter of the year has come and gone, and so naturally it's time for a list episode. This time Eric, Eli, Michael and Miranda each share their 5 favorite songs and 10 favorite albums of the year so far.

Surprise! We've unlocked this bonus episode to give you a taste of what we have behind the paywall.

This week those of us in the Popstar Squad dive into the surprisingly deep discography of Canadian popstar Avril Lavigne. This episode finds us discussing maybe the worst song of the entire bracket???
