Welcome back Long Players! This week, David and Ryan have queued up their latest mutual pick, “The Ecstatic” from hip hop legend Mos Def/Yasiin Bey! The last mutual pick was fraught with indecision over which album to cover, but there was little question when it came time to decide which Mos Def album to discuss. You’ve got beats from Madlib and J Dilla, guest appearances from Slick Rick and Talib Kweli…this album has it all! Tune in this week and see how it holds up track-by-track almost 10 years later.

In this week's episode of LPOOL, David and Ryan get the band back together after a trying episode last week. Here they're discussing Ryan's latest pick: the debut album Surfer Rosa, from indie rock pioneers Pixies.

David dreams about a one hour loop of Kim Deal's haunting vocal intro from "Where is My Mind"...and then he made one! Check it out on our website!

After much discussion, this week we have another "mutual" pick from David and Ryan (mostly Ryan), "Hello Nasty" by the Beastie Boys! While they may never see eye to eye on what is indisputably the best Beasties album, (hint: it's this one) the discourse makes for a fun conversation nonetheless.

LPOOL returns this week with David's latest pick: the album "In the Flat Field" from British post-punk pioneers Bauhaus. David agonizes over which particular version of the record to discuss! Ryan learns not to judge a book by its cover! Tune in this week for talk of wizards, sores, and scopes!

In the latest episode of Long Plays of Our Lives, David and Ryan discuss the album "Magnolia Electric Company" from Songs: Ohia. Ryan finally finds an album that's the right shade of dark and weird for David to enjoy, and there's some unintentionally timely references to True Detective, to boot!

Returning after two weeks off for the holidays, David and Ryan are here to talk about hip-hip legends Outkast and their sophomore effort, "ATLiens".

Take a trip down memory lane, and enjoy this track-by-track break down examining one of hip hop's all time best duos and releases.

David and Ryan return for another week of LPOOL! We're at the halfway point for our first season, and this week they're covering David's pick: David Bowie's game-changing "Ziggy Stardust" album.
