We're trying out a new episode style, which on-air I called "Sugar, We're Throwin' Down" but in the future, I will probably refer to it as "David vs. Goliath." At any rate, it was my guest David Stuart's idea and basic structure, and I love it! He brought in a favorite and underrated album, The Starting Line's "Direction," which competed head-to-head with the winner of an 8-album mini-tournament of established emo/punk releases from that same year. Also, Kristen Tideman (of Justin Vernon episodes fame) joined us about halfway through! We listen to and discuss Anberlin, Motion City Soundtrack, Against Me!, Paramore, Relient K, and more.
