We are running up that hill to make a deal with God but He wasn't there so we are still stuck doing this podcast! Luckily we become the best Kate Bush Podcast as we talk about Hounds of Love on the podcast. We talk 16th birthday jamz this week and our undying devotion to Boyz II Men although the news that the low voice guy is no longer there has shaken me to the core and I think about it once a day now.

Beck Did It Better ·

2021/11/16

Sorry for the late release. We were testing how many people cared and the results were a real bummer!

We are talking jazz, the influence of John Coltrane, and whether or not paying your credit card bill after getting tricked into drinking too much is wrong or actually a super genius move. We talk

2021/10/26

We are now the best Steely Dan podcast! And the best podcast about Aja! What if a band is really just two guys and a cast of rotating players? What if the two dudes were perfectionists and what if they didn't stop until they got exactly the sound they wanted? It is no surprise that the music on Aja sounds like it is made by AI yet at the same time is funky, deep, and new on every listen. It is a lot like this podcast but if we were talented or put time into it! We dive into a deep mailbag segment

Listen to our shock as Brown Eyed Girl is NOT on this album and it still blows our mind with how good it is.

Also, Russell's drink this week still has me scratching my head. Listen, school is starting back up so I don't have the time to write the normally funny sentences here so just listen to the episode and enjoy. If you like reading so much, why don't you get a book.
