This episode is a plastic tub of emotions, as we look at Teeth Dreams by The Hold Steady.  Also, one guest fantisizes about a "there can be only one" situation (a la Hightlander) with Minneapolis bands and we discuss the Future Islands performance on The Late Show.  My guests this week are Jeff Boone, Peter Swanson, Chris Koniar and James Koplos.

And here's that incredibly awkward or powerful performance by Furture Islands.

Is this album an intelligent critique of American consumerism, a self-important collection of simplistic tunes, an insightful look at getting older or a professional jingle-writer's overly wrought second effort?  Well . . . maybe.  My guests this week were Jennie Olson, Lisa Mendenhall and Rachel Warner.

Here's the Rolling Stone review by Christopher R. Weingarten that I shouldn't have read beforehand.

Things get classy as I'm joined by a resident poet and a performing artist to listen to the new boot-gaze record by Angel Olsen.  We consider the difference between referencing and ripping off and may invoke German poetry.  Guests: Christy Merry and Vanessa Walrath.

This week, we take a look at the new, self titled album by recording artist and Einstein wannabe St. Vincent.  We also discuss what makes a sound natural and one of my favorite scenes in any movie.  My guests are Heidi Brink, Heather Macaroon and Nathan Palmer.

This week I'm joined by Jeff Boone, James Koplos and Joe Serr, as we talk about Beck's new, 70's influenced album, Morning Phase.  Will we come to a conclusion as to what drink the album is most like?  Did anyone notice when someone suggested the Monkees were a major influence of the Beatles?  Is the last 10 minutes of this episode always the best?

I sit down with Anne and Anna to review the new album by Young the Giant, but we all get a bit slap happy.  Warning, there are some adult themes and language and some snorting.  Also, we can't think of any good or bad band names, Anne tells us a 90's song that should never be sung at karaoke and Anna suggests that a certain song you can't play at the music store is great for making out.

After computer problems robbed you of the original second episode of Four Track Reviews, here is episode 2 and a half.  We talk about the latest album by Jeremy Messersmith, start work on a Friday the 13th musical and receive some family counseling from John.  With guests Rachel, Tommy (tommyrehbein) and John (jpmstpaul09).

Here it is, the first episode of Four Track Reviews.  We take a look at Post Tropical, the new album by James Vincent McMarrow.  We also talk about nuclear bombs, a classic 90's shareware video game and have a mini existential crisis.  The audio is a little shaky, but hey, it's episode number one.
