Hipsters play this in their Prius, cube and ellipticals. We celebrate Dr. Dre's 90's hip hop classic, in tribute to those with big enough egos to do this podcast for two whole years.

Pumpkins reunion tour; La Monte Young's 5-hour piano masterpiece; why we love Neutral Milk Hotel; separating the art from the artist. Was going to put a joke about Billy playing piano live for 5 hours but then realized he once played an 8-hour synth jam at his tea house. Joe took 11 days to upload this because he is very important and super busy.

We're back from hiatus just in time to get deported to Coachella. After debating which musician would make the best boss on a reboot of The Office, we reveal our musical resolutions for 2018, one of which includes "The 1975", surprisingly not preceded with the phrase "I pledge to run over with a spring-tooth harrow..." Joe spent a lot of time editing out his coughing so you could listen to this episode.

After convincing Marvin Gaye to join Radiohead, we talk about how Chuck Klosterman is once again very wrong and annoying about something. Then we review Billy Corgan’s new album, and, in a mirror of Billy’s biggest blunders over the past decade, Joe messes up the audio production on this episode for no apparent reason.

Should you lie to your children about Piebald? Alex Parisi is back for another chat. First, we prove that Harvey Danger is definitely emo. The decision is now canon and can never be reversed. Then, Paul is accused of loving Prog Rock. The World is A Beautiful Place and We Are Not Afraid to Podcast. The last half of the episode we talk about Brand New… but when we recorded this we were not aware that what’s-his-name is a total garbage person. Sorry.

What album cover did you dress up as for Halloween? Paul and Joe were Neil Young and the Tree Neil Young is Leaning On from the cover of Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. Meanwhile, Damo Suzuki’s Yelp profile picture is a photo of Nujabes.

Announcing the Paul & Joe Well-Endowed Chair for the Study of Heartland Rock, Passive Aggressive Lyrical Texts, and Korean Debate Team Rap. Please note that Class 609, the Perverted Arts of Szechuan, will not meet this week because Professor Corgan read a mean comment online.

Back in September, three dudes had a very special podcast show. They talked about TV theme songs, from famous ones to ones you probably don't even know. End of clever song parody. Our movies & TV expert Taylor is back, and we all talk about theme songs, from Mission Impossible and Cheers to True Detective and Mad Men. It was fun. LAW AND ORDER SOUND.

Revealed! Our Best of Q2 2017: Big Thief, White Reaper, Chastity Belt, Richard Dawson, Thurston Moore, Mac DeMarco, Fleet Foxes, Joni Void, Colin Stetson and Kendrick, of course.

Analysis of new tracks from two divas, Taylor and Billy. We go crazy and pull a couple fans onstage!
