Louis and Brad get fuzzy and review Brad's lo-fi homework assignment, the 2010 album Public Strain by Women. Brad gives a glimpse into the fraught inner life of an office DJ. The boys revel in the mysteries revealed by Shuffle using Louis' iTunes library.

Louis' Homework assignment takes OurTunes on a field trip to a slightly psychedelic version of Nashville to discuss Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood's 1968 gem, "Nancy & Lee". Another edition of By the Numbers has the boys scrobbling through time for a visit with the ghosts of their last.fm profiles.

The OurTunes boys break down their libraries' stats in By the Numbers. The first edition of Platinum Record comes at you like a "Bat out of Hell" as Brad and Louis discuss the late Meatloaf's rollicking masterwork. Brad wades through a sea of sadness and reports out on his Homework assignment from Louis, "Knives Don't Have Your Back" by Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton.

Inaugural episode! We cover the premise of the show, a little historical background on iTunes and a listening homework assignment assigned to Louis by Brad: Faust IV
