While there's been lots of great music released this year, we rarely get into things we really didn't like. This week, after discussing the new albums from Beabadoobee, Tomberlin, and _, we breakdown some releases we were excited about but missed the mark. Plus, say hello to our new theme music! Our absolute angel of a producer, Caleb, remixed our original theme by Julian Alban, giving it a new life as the podcast moves into its next phase.

Eli is off this week, so we're joined by pod BFF Michael Brooks and Eric's BFF Sarah Deveny. We dive deep through the career of one of our culture's most polarizing yet vanilla pop stars, Katy Perry.

We're joined this week by Ted Davis, the music editor at Merry-Go-Round Magazine! We dive into new albums from Kelly Lee Owens, Lomelda, and Corey Flood. Plus, we unpack the new Travis Scott x McDonalds shit, and side-eye the New York Times.

We decided to talk about Bright Eyes with Rowan, who is Eli's very smart and cool girlfriend. Then we drank beforehand. the following podcast is the result of that choice.

This week we're joined by Jeremy Warden of Minneapolis band Double Grave! We talk with Jeremy about his city's DIY music scene and its response to the recent wave of Black Lives Matter protests. We also speak more broadly into the ways a music scene can help without shows going on. Plus, we review new tunes from Angel Olsen, Slight Of, and Oceanator.

In another guest-free episode, we discuss some new music from Bully and Young Jesus. Then, Eli walks us through some hilarious mix CDs he found in his childhood bedroom, and we talk about Eric's revival of their iPod.

We're joined this week by beauty writer for NYLON, and absolute angel, Lauren Rearick!

Plus, we review the new albums from Ganser, Buddie, and Highnoon. We're off next week while Eli is away, but we'll be back the week after!

In a rare guest-less episode, we riff about the sentient toe that runs Spotify, the goings-on of music Twitter while Eli was offline and a lovely new Hinds single. We chat about new albums from Land of Talk, Madeline Kenney, and Winter. Then we talk about older records we are falling in love with this year. Last, we finish up with a game show to test our memory of album titles.
