Lorde's Melodrama Jun 29, 2017

Show notes

Caitlin White, Managing Editor at Uproxx, is here to unpack Lorde's new millennial masterpiece Melodrama. We dig into what makes Lorde a generational talent after only 2 albums, why she gets what makes her generation tick better than anyone else, and how much of a relief it is to finally get a female artist's response to 808's and Heartbreaka, along with much much more. We go deep in this episode, and things get emotional at times, and Caitlyn's insights on this album are an essential part of your developing attachment to this music and Lorde herself.

Big Thief and Fleet Foxes Jun 23, 2017

Show notes

This week Tom Breihan from Stereogum is here to talk through Big Thief's crushing new album Capacity and the new metaphysically tongue in cheek maze Crack Up from Fleet Foxes. We try to lift the overwhelming weight of Big Thief's new album to see what's underneath, we explore where the hell Robin Pecknold has been for the last 6 years, and we get into the purposefully opaque and wonderfully dense inner workings of his and the band's latest effort. Get ready for some gut punching stuff and a few big laughs along the way, and make sure you put both of these albums on your rotation.

Interview with John Ballon on the Life and Times of Betty Davis Jun 22, 2017

Show notes

I sat down with John Ballon, arguably the world's leading expert on Betty Davis and close friend of hers, to talk about the incredible life and work of Betty Davis. We got into why her music was so ahead of its time and the legacy it was continuing, the influence she had on the direction of Miles Davis' later career, and the impact she has on Prince along with much much more. Betty is an icon in her own right and I can't wait for you to learn more about who she is as both a person and an artist.

Snoop Dogg Really Didn't Ever Leave Jun 16, 2017

Show notes

SNOOP DOGG has a new album out titled Neva Left and Rebecca Haithcoat came by this week to talk all about it. We got into Snoop's appropriation of pimp culture, his time working with both Dr. Dre and Pharrell, and why the video for "Sensual Seduction" is one of the all-time great rap videos, along with many other things.

Interview with Strand of Oaks Feb 17, 2017

Show notes

This week, Tyler turns the whole hour over to Tim from Strand of Oaks and it was the best decision he's made in quite some time. Tim is an incredible human being and musician and after an hour long conversation with him, you leave feeling like a weight has been lifted off of you. I don't know many people who are as insightful and honest and funny as he is all while consistently dropping top shelf rock records and listening to this may very well be the best thing you'll do for your own well being all week. Seriously. We get into all things surrounding his new record "Hard Love" and catch up on what life has been like for him since he released "HEAL" back in 2014. As you can imagine, we end up in a lot of other corners of his mind along the way. Enjoy :)

Interview with Cloud Nothings (Dylan Baldi) Jan 27, 2017

Show notes

Today I got the chance to sit down with Dylan from Cloud Nothings to talk about him, his life, his creative process, and their new album. I've been excited to talk with him for awhile now and he ended up being one of the best interviews I've ever done. This is a great companion piece to bring along as you jump into their new album this weekend and I think you'll benefit as much as I did from listening to his perspective not only on music and what it means to be an artist but also on life.

Japandroids Jan 27, 2017

Show notes

Andrew is back this week after time out for vacation and sickness and we jump into the new Japandroids album. We talk their history, how they got to be where they are now, and the ins and outs of their new album. Regardless of what you think of the album, you'll leave this episode with plenty to think about and to bring up wherever your weekend takes you.

The xx Jan 20, 2017

Show notes

This week Andrew is out with a sinus infection so Tyler is on his own to talk about the latest album from The xx. He gets into the background of the group, the rise of Jamie xx as a solo artist, and how this album finds the group nesting in a new kind of maturity as they continue to fine-tune their balance between the dimly-lit whisper rock that made them famous and the club floor they can't seem to get enough of.
