Yet another week of reviews befalls us this episode; we talk about the (amazing) new Florence + the Machine album and the "newly found" John Coltrane album Both Directions At Once, as well as cover some smaller bits of new music, such as Converge's surprise EP Beautiful Ruin and the latest track from How To Dress Well. And then, as per usual, things fall apart at the end, and Jimmy goes off about Brokencyde. Enjoy! Or not.

Among our other topics for today—a review of the new Ghost album Prequelle, and celebrating the 15th year anniversary of The Mars Volta's debut De-Loused In The Comatorium, we're also happy to introduce a new segment on TGP called Zornology, wherein we discuss the immense, prolific discography of avant-garde/experimental composer John Zorn. Let us know what you think!

Oi! Long time, no see...or...hear. Anyway: we're back after a week off, and we''re talking about the stupid stuff we've bought on a recent music store run! Let's be fair, though, this is mostly Jimmy talking, because he's pretty irresponsible with his money and splurged. Still, though, Scott's always his evervescent self, and we get on some pretty nice tangents.

We've got some fun stuff to talk about today, and you bet your behind we're going to get way off track with it. On the docket: Scott's recent FYE CD haul, the new Florence + the Machine single (and album announcement), and the anniversaries of Swans's Filth and Queensrÿche's Operation Mindcrime, which turn 35 and 30, respectively.

Get out some pretzels, y'all, because it's time to get salty at the music industry, as today we discuss, among other things, new Prince material being released this fall, Jamie Stewart's new solo album, and the recent announcement of a Flaming Lips Greatest Hits compilation. Oh yeah, and Tears For Fears, which has salt right in their name (though we do actually like this one). Enjoy!

We have yet another panoply of musical goodness for y'all today. Today's subjects: Scott's RSD finds, Deafheaven's new single "Honeycomb" (and the atrocious artwork for their new album), the new Sleep album, and Scott finally listens to Kate Bush's Hounds of Love.

Next Saturday (4/21) marks the tenth annual Record Store Day: an event that we both have...mixed feelings about, as collectors of physical media and as music fanatics. Also on the docket: the new Florence + the Machine single, the new Tomb Mold single, the announcement of Kamasi Washington's latest album Heaven and Earth, and we also discuss our thoughts on Ruins's Hyderomastgroningem, as part of a little section we're calling Album Dares.
