  • Don't Want To Know If You Are Lonely, Husker Du
    We listened to the track "Don't Want to Know If You Are Lonely" from Husker Du's Candy Apple Grey while drinking and making fires in the woods of VT. Rob and Jim join us to make a mess of interpreting this song. Is the narrator being a dick or just hurt or has a stalker been annoying the hell out of him? The band was really not in a cooperative place on this record and we all come to this from different directions. Come hang out with us under the stars.

  • Psychotic Episode, Royal Headache
    We listened to the track "Psychotic Episode" from Royal Headache (R.I.P.) while drinking in the woods of VT. That's what we've come to these days. We were joined by cinematographer Rob and Sound Engineer Jim to talk about this song from the Australian band. Is it Punk? Soul? We have no answers, just turn down the lights, have a cocktail and join us in the middle of the night to talk about music.

  • All Natural Lemon and Lime Flavors, Turning Into Small
    We listened to Turning Into Small from All Natural Lemon and Lime Flavors. Everyone knows band names should start out ridiculous with the idea that it won't even matter once the music rules and you used to the idea of jamming pearls but these guys really pushed the limit, ultimately leading to this wildly underrated shoegaze gem.

  • Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights
    We listened to Turn on the Bright Lights from Interpol. Their first record released in 2002 could lazily be compared to Joy Division...we try hard not to do that but here we are and we just did. An ode to NYC which remains true - the subway IS a porno and the pavements are a mess. An intersection between indie dance rock, post punk revival, dream pop and garage according to some mixed up wiki and it's pointless to shove this into music genres. NYC was a weird time for music in this era and, "Meet Me In the Bathroom" from Lizzy Goodman is a great record of an ultimately wasted opportunity by a lot of talented bands.

  • Beastie Boys - Paul Revere
    We listened to the track "Paul Revere" from The Beastie Boys. We get into this problematic snotty period by the trio and their upcoming Netflix documentary/behind the music thing.

  • Romeo Void - Never Say Never
    We listened to the track "Never Say Never" from Romeo Void from 1982. Wee were barely in elementary school but it followed us into high school somehow and showed up on 120 minutes. Fantastic post punk song and video ahead of its time. An art school band from San Francisco fronted by a Native American woman... bonkers.

  • Rodan - Rusty
    We listened to Rusty from Rodan. Big shocker we're still stuck back in the early nineties talking about Slint, June of '44, Bob Weston, the thin post rock guitars and huge drums. So predicable. Matt reveals the movie Half cocked actually features Rodan and a bunch of other bands including Unwound. Look for a future episode where we do commentary on that masterpiece.
