Endless Scroll

We are joined this week by Hope Ankney, a writer at the Alternative, Soundigest, and Highlight magazine. We talk with hope about new records from SPICE, Katie Dey, and of course, Taylor Swift. We then talk all things folklore, and dive into the discourse around the record as much as the sound. Come for folklore takes, stay for tangents about Runescape and Tumblr. You can read Hope's review of the record here http://www.getalternative.com/album-review-taylor-swift-folklore/

This week we talk about the rise of the newsletter as every music writer's new chosen outlet, and are joined in doing so by Miranda Reinert! Plus, we chat about albums from Dehd, The Goin' Nowheres, and Cloud Nothings. Come for the discourse, stay to find out how many live albums Cloud Nothings have released this year.

This week we're joined by freelance writer Joshua Copperman to discuss the new records from Phoebe Bridgers, Backxwash, and Dougie Poole. Then, we dive into parasocial relationships and how they affect our relationship with music.

In this loveable trainwreck of an episode, we discuss new tunes from Momma, Hinds, and Carpool with Phil Kenbok of the Zells, and Andy Fusia of Cruel Intentions. Stand strong as we discuss people you don't know, a diner in Pittsburgh, and how we feel about various album rollout plans.

Jaran joins us again, so you already know its a list episode. We each run down our 50 favorite records of the year so far. This time, alphabetically, until our top 10s, which are ranked. Note: Eric is a certifiable Dummy and completely forgot to list their number 5 album, which is Kevin Krauter's "Full Hand".

This week we are joined once again by friend of the pod, writer Shawn Cooke! We talk with Shawn about the recent protests across the world and our specific experiences at one in Pittsburgh.
