The Chartographers

Fair warning: this Happy Hour Minsiode where Evan, Taran, and returning special guest Chris Fort might be a bit too happy, but overall we continue to talk about the worst Spoon song, why they didn't break in the same way that Arcade Fire did, and for some reason talk about Limp Bizkit at one point. When it comes to non-essential listening ... this is the best non-essential episode we've ever done. But it's utterly inessetntial. This is our TELEPHONO, basically.

Same cast, different script. When Evan & Taran invited returning guest Nick Shoda to rank the albums of Whitney Houston, we realized we have nothing if we don't have a #1, which is why our discussion bled over into two epic episodes.
