Note: This episode was recorded on Sunday, March 8th. In regard to music news, this was post the SXSW cancellation, but before the hundreds of other announcements that have followed. The tone is likely a little cheerier, as well, given the rapid ascension of our situation in the U.S. since the week began. Despite this difference, we wanted to put the episode out anyways, and we hope that for at least 80 minutes, your day brightens a bit. By the way, coronavirus won't stop us from putting out episodes. If the music world continues to make art...we'll continue to support and talk about it.
The episode: Our first power rankings of 2020 are here! We go through who's had the best 2020 in music, ranging from DIY favorites like Ratboys and Worst Party Ever, to mainstream titans like HAIM and Lil Uzi Vert.
Stereo returns to discuss changes to the show, along with releases from the 1st quarter of 2020. Includes: The 1975, Soccer Mommy (recorded before the album was released), Hayley Williams, Frances Quinlan, Porches, Addy, Sufjan, and more.

BUT, it is primarily designed for beginning listeners, in order to guide their experience.
