Adam and Mike kick off 2026 from a brand-new location: Mike’s home music studio, now officially the podcast studio. What started as an idea quickly became reality.

They talk about the weirdness of writing a new year, why New Year’s resolutions rarely stick, and why starting when it feels right beats waiting for January.

The conversation drifts into music nostalgia—Tuesdays as release days, cassette tapes, CDs, record stores, and how discovering music has changed in the streaming era. They wrap things up with thoughts on finding new music, seeing more live shows, and which bands are still worth getting off the couch for.
