Paul comes up with the least google-able band name of all time. Joe recounts his Pumpkins arena show experience. Counting Crows are better than Bush, and Liz Phair is Dad Rock now. Should you skip your son's birth to see Pearl Jam... again? Plus: Sudan Archives, Alan Braufman, and history’s most hilarious fires.

Paul gets stoned and listens to a playlist Joe made for the sole purpose of blowing his mind. Then, we go deep.

How and why does smoking weed change the way you hear music? We made each other a playlist to listen to while high; in Part 1, we discuss Paul's trippy playlist for Joe, who wrote a hilarious journal while listening. Plus there's a Jay Leno thing with funny rap headlines.

Our nicest albums of Q1 2018. Everything on this pod slaps, even the country pop.

A very necessary pod on Pusha T, Childish Gambino, and Kanye . A very unnecessary discussion of the new Smashing Pumpkins single. Joe is sorry he forgot which Beastie Boy died.

Kanye dropped Pusha T's new album while we were recording, but we managed to keep recording rather than listening to it immediately. Then Paul brings two new electronic albums by Jon Hopkins and DJ Knock Knock for our consideration. We also take some time to talk about Scott Hutchinson, the lead singer of Frightened Rabbit who passed away in May.

Paranoia, paranoia, our favorite lyrics are rather catchy! Just say I've never met Ye! I’m running underground with the pods, diggin’ in…uh… sod. We reveal our most cherished lyrical passages from 90’s alt rock.

Albums we liked from the second half of 2017.

When Jack White's rap career died, Paul inherited a small fortune, so Joe offered him a menu of overpriced trophy vinyl to spend it on. After the splurge, we talk about what a music collection means in an era when you no longer need one. Let's get ready to crumble!
