  • Wasteland, Baby! and Destroyer's Rubies

    Welcome to episode #3 of TapeMakers!


    We are back this week to talk about all sorts of things! First, we catch up as Jared has moved house and Josh visited the middle of America. Then we get deep into Wasteland, Baby! The much-anticipated follow-up to Hozier's debut album. Does this Irish Blues, Folk, Gospel artist hit it out of the park with his new R&B-infused sound or does it leave us wanting more? After that, we pontificate about the obscure and referential lyrics of Destroyer on his offering, Destroyer's Rubies. Does this mixture of dark and dense lyricism and fun upbeat instrumentation hit the perfect balance or does it all fall apart? Come listen and find out!


    We also talk about how you will be able to recommend albums to us and when you can listen to us talk about said albums.

  • Blood Pressures and Pieces of a Man

    Welcome back to Episode #2 of Tapemakers


    We start with talking about Jared's recent gig experience that was... interesting. We also talk about all of online music crit talking about how we have the absolute wrong takes about Pearl Jam's Ten. We then talk about The Kills album Blood Pressures to see if it's punky, full of sexual tension, in your face rock still hits the same as it did when it came out. After that, we dive into GIl Scott-Heron's first full studio album, Pieces of a Man, and dive into its influence, activism, and lyricism. Was it a "sign of the ages" it is it an album that speaks to the here and now? Join us as we rank these albums!

  • Ten & Boarding House Reach

    Welcome to TapeMakers Episode #1! In this episode we explain a bit about our musical tastes and then go DEEP into Pearl Jam's seminal grunge classic, Ten, to see if this album holds up or was a product of its time. After that, we dive into Jack White's Blues/R&B/Hip Hop/ etc. madness, Boarding House Reach, to see if his embrace of "maximalist" production comes together or if it tries and fails. We also introduce our elaborate ranking system and pick the albums for the next episode.
