Talking about music with friends

After an early summer hiatus, the boys are back with an episode featuring previous guest Dallin Johnson. We discuss the album Transistor by 3-11 and the merits of the genre blending sound of the band. We also talk about what we've been listening to recently and the recent slate of huge artists coming out with new music this summer. 

Friend of the pod and avid Passionfruit listener Yusuf Mumin joins us once again to discuss Drake's 2017 More Life, a playlist of sorts that served as the soundtrack to different parts of our lives. We also discuss a profile from the Fader on Isaiah Rashad that chronicles the rapper's struggles with fame, how he went broke, and his journey through addiction. 

Bloody mental! Bridget Baldwin graces us with her virtual presence while she resides in the United Kingdom. She exposes us to Electric Light Orchestra, a 70's band who sounded and operated like a rock-disco-symphony in the same way that Queen sounded like the cast of a pop-rock-opera. We also talked about listening to nostalgic albums through the pandemic and our favorite Radiohead albums.

Resident Lorde scholar and world champion girlfriend Jess Nani becomes the first guest to make a reappearance on the show to discuss Lorde's hot and heavy 2017 release Melodrama. We also chat about a slew of upcoming album releases and Billie Eilish's new song and aesthetic. 

We are back with another episode, this time featuring friend and artist Sierra Wise Zamudio. We chat about the 2019 album Good At Falling by the Japanese House. We also chat about the Taylor Swift re-release, an octopus teacher, and Sierra's clothing line, Femme Decal.

Film enthusiast Blake Lyman stops in to chat about the seminal pop album Emotion by Carly Rae Jepsen. We also share our vax stores and discuss what was on our middle school iPods.

Longtime friend Maddy Waddoups phones in to discuss the 2019 album Crushing from singer-songwriter Julia Jacklin. We also chat about Lil Nas X and the return of the avant garde pop musician, sad indie girl music, and the music algorithms that rule our life. 

Friend of the show Brock Christian Wilson drops in to chat about the 2017 album Soft Sounds From Another Planet by Japanese Breakfast. We also chat about Lana Del Rey's new album and listening to 80's pop music as a musical salve for this awful year. 

Friend of the show Bre Sahleen sits down over zoom to chat about SYML, an indie-rock-pop musical act steered by musician Brian Fennell. We also chat about NFTs, the art of playlist curation, and instagram cooking accounts.
