Our Best of Q4 2018 RAP HORN Uncle Tupelo RAP HORN Paul can't name songs RAP HORN Give us 5 Stars on iTunes RAP HORN Smashing Pumpkins RAP HORN RAP HORN RAP HORN Echo & the Bunnymen? LITERALLY ZERO

Ol' Gallagone and Ol' Six Shoota take everyone's favorite rural route straight to a discussion of race and country music. Then we remember Dick Dale and Scott Walker, enshrine Radiohead, and forget all about our favorite MySpace mp3s.

Listen to Joe's unlistenable opening track in full here: https://soundcloud.com/gallagone/rainbows-one-thru-seven-at-the-bottom-all-i-need-are-big-ideas

Our closing track this week is "E.T.A." by Damon & Naomi.

Last question on the Harvard admissions form: "Has your dad released more than two classic albums?" ::Rivers Cuomo's kid slams fist down::

Paul talks about G-Unit, Angel Haze, RTJ, DJ Shadow, and more.

The episode title is a joke from our amazing twitter feed, @savagebeastpod.

Joe tells Paul the good news about Ryan Adams while they admire Tom Morello's head. Then, the boys discuss five meaningful rap songs from Joe's life, including tracks from Das Racist, 50 Cent, Tupac, and Black Star.

Our best albums of Q3 2018. This ain't chitter-chatter, Chief!

Just in time for 2019, it's our 2018 Christmas episode! Paul saw the Smashing Pumpkins and gives a detailed report on Billy's paunch. Additional segments include "Indie Music Santa", "Did Mitski really make the #1 album of the year?", and "SNL broadcasting a skit about Weezer's discography signals the end of our innocence".

Soundcloud rap, Thom Yorke's solo output, and The Beatles (the album). Unfortunately we had to cut the two hours analyzing the literary allusions and poetic devices in "Thank u, next".

Celebrating 75 episodes of pretentious preening by upping the elitism exponentially. Joe, Paul, Alex, and Taylor each bring a primary text for criticism. Taylor also brings the track jacket he bought at the Garbage show.

We bought nice headphones so we could hear more things to complain about. Also featured on this episode: Snail Mail, The Beths, Angelique Kidjo, and of course some Pumpkins.

We start a Britney Death Cult in 1927, talk Vampire Weekend and 2008, and listen to some of Paul’s favorite albums of 2018. Absolutely no chillwave.
