This week (tonight) we are joined by musician, climate journalist and reluctant Wikipedia-page-haver Jael Holzman as we discuss The Dodo's magnum opus Visiter. No, for once I didn't make an obvious typo here, that is how the album is spelled.

Also up for discussion: Politics is bad and so is the planet's health, Bruce Springsteen gets kicked to F street (for failing) and Jael teases some of her upcoming work with Ekko Astral. Oh and also check out this sick longboarding video set to The Season. YouTube needs to just be trick compliations again it was a healthier time then.

Speaking of YouTube, watch the official music video for Ekko Astral’s new single “horseglue” here. The visit their Bandcamp and give them money!

This week we round out October by posting in November about an album that will be listened to once you wake me up when September ends: Atreyu's the Curse. Our curse is that like in The Ring viewing media will haunt you, but in this case the haunted media is that now you've seen a photo of our cat in a bra.

Also up for sizzlin' scary (discu)ssion: Mullets are back with mouth, iCarly finally has a pop-punk moment, and what if Macklemore was Bon Iver?

This October, Tonight! We discuss our most Sexual Detective Record yet: Sunset mission by Bohren and Der Club of Gore. Der is german for "the" in case you were struggling to put together how this is seasonally spooky. A gore club oh my god!

Also clubbing around our heads for discussion: a spooky show in a steam seller's sanatorium, Canada goes Freedom Fry Freestyle, and we relitigate which of the Hi-Chew flavors were best and it's still cola.

This week and etcetera! We the three lads make some Only Noise celebrating Nicholas Jaar's opus, Space is Only Noise-- which is the same name of my audio-only OnlyFans account so please check that out/sue me for copyright infringement.

Also up for booscussion: what if the Thinker had a big action moment, we get Tangled up in Woodnumbers, and I am learning right now that sometimes these have typos in them so apologies for that. And in the instagrams??!

Bootober is back for the first time as we get spooky with Burial's classicterpiece, Untrue. What I said was true but the album is untrue and one of us only lies so answer me these riddles three.

Also up for an equally coherent discussion: Taylor Swift is rushed to the flopspital in a whambulance, God grants Drake yet another L for his Guinness Record collection, and a shockingly good and sensible album time for some reason.

This week we're plus The Bear, which is what I call Taylor Grimes of @swimintothesound (sorry for not asking if you like your new nickname I just gave you earlier this sentence) who walks us through his favorite record: Minus the Bear's Menos El Oso. And yes, we do talk about the sex thing. Apologies!

Also up for bearscussion (bear-discussion): A North Carolina treat is Bev'd "Live and In-Person" (TM), a swath of emo albums are discovered, and Oatmeal! Who is eating it and sleeping in our beds?? We find out, tonight.

This Week: We came, we drove in, we at-the'd. That's the poet's way (Rilke agrees) of saying that for this very specialsode we covered At The Drive In's Relationship of Command. My relationship of command at the drive in is that if I (the power player) issue commands into the speaker (the employee) they provide me with Big Macs.

Also up for discussion: Not a lot about the album to Chris and ATDI fan's eternal dismay, a TikTok star overuns the MeatMarket, and oh yeah, we talk about Donkey Kong for 90% of the record.

This week it's Oneohtrix for the books (this almost works, give it a chance) as we three boys go Chuck Personmode and Eccojam out to Oneohtrix Point Never's record, Age Of. What's it the age of? We find out tonight.

Also up for discussion: A birthday party goes horribly foul thanks to capitalism, a bizarre bicoastal bevcheck, and Chris sees Peff. Or Jup.

This Week/Tonight we are joined by a guest all the way from the third coast (the middle one): Liquid Mike, who walks us through his 10/10 pick, the Marked Men's 2006 record Fix My Brain. If someone had fixed our brains we wouldn't have had to do this podcast, so we should get on that stat.

Also up for discussion: Move over Dead Milkmen, this podcast is for Ex-Mailmen, baseball teams can be from all sorts of places, and oh yeah its a very special birthday episode as we listen to Liquid Mike's new record Hell is an Airport, which came out (aka was born) just this week! Also it was Charlie's birthday but w/e that happens every year.

This week We Became Birds as we discuss Bill "Hummingbird" Callahan's hit record (in Maryland) Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle. Often I wish I was a Godzilla, I'd make some changes around here, that's for sure.

Other Horses up for Wranglin' include: Charli XCX is going Kate Bush freestyle, Radiohead is hitting the road-iohead, and a saucy sorbet bev is bopped.

This one goes out to all the Moby Dicks, Dons and Dans among us who love to rock hard. We have also chosen to rock hard by whaling (wailing) on Mastodon's (or Mastodan, for the Dans out there again) concept album about whaling: Leviathan.

Also up for discussion: It's Labor Day (Labor Don) and that's why the post was late and no other reason. Definitely we were not out on a boat espying for whales in telescopes.

Progust continues with a bang by having us listen to an album we all actually like! And it's especially liked by Ciara from Swim into the Sound, who walks us through why it’s her favorite album, how a demonic bicycle is actually cool as hell (as long as it's not a fixie) and the history of several planets that later explode.

Also up for a very I'm Burning Starcussion: Ethel Cain and Lana pain, east coast music festivals are an acceptable purpose of travel, and a black and white film returns with a PNW sound.

The album: Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo I’m Burning Star IV Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness

Well folks, we had 2 (TWO) guests get sick and bail on us this week so we had to forestall (not googling if thats the correct use of the word) hot progust bites and do a different thing! And unfortunately that different thing says 'Donkeh' with a Scottish accent pretty frequently.

Also up for discussion: One of the hosts is in trouble at work (who could've predicted thusly), Chris rides the world's tallest wooden rollercoaster (all adjectives false) and we take you all to a land far, far away (from good taste).

Hot August Bites returns with a new theme and name and concept and also we don't mention Hot or Bites in the episode! That's right, this month we're weathering an onslaught of what some people call "progressive rock" but which we call "very technical wigglin' music". Anyways we're starting with yes.

Other worms (things) wiggling in the dirt (up for discussion) include: How to Make Friends and Influence People by Muting a Group Chat, how to handle a chicken under the cover of night, and a game of rhyming and diming.

Batten down the hampers for a night of Shrexual Healing (Marvin Gaye-style if he was a fairy godmother or Flounder from the Little Mermaid). That's right folks: we ran out of ideas and our first thought was to look in the mirror, see that we are All Stars, and the rest was Smistory. That's Smash Mouth History, for those who are not in the biz.

Also up for discussion: We 3 Men Say Donkeh, Chris' eyes are drier than any gobi desert I've heard of, and can sasparilla be a color? We find out.

DATELINE: THIS WEEK/TONIGHT-- We get our elven freak folk on (in a non-Ys way) with Jessica Pratt's Own Your Own Love Again. Elves must be punk rock (suck it gorons) because this week's pick was chosen by return guest (and punk aficionado)) Evan Minkser. Do not ask me how many times I tried to spell aficionado. It should start with an O!

Also up for discussion: Chris relates a twice told tale of toiling at the film factory (Cars 4), He-He can be a grandpa's name if Gaar is taken, and quite a few actual discoveries are made because Evan knows how to find music unlike yr hosts.

The Guest: Evan Minsker of see-saw. After a twelve-year run at Pitchfork, Evan started his own punk rock publication where you can find in-depth pieces, interviews, lists, you know all the stuff. He also co-hosts Punk This Week with our friend Nina Corcoran where they discuss snacks and six cool new punk records every week. He’s got a boppin’ Discord channel and a bunch of cool projects and events in the pipeline.

Evan’s on Bluesky and Instagram and probably other places too but that’s what his website is for.

This week on another episode of the award* winning** comedy/music(?) podcast TTYG, we discuss Melodrama by Lorde. In Girl, So Confusing I think Charli XCX and Lorde should've referred to each other as "popplegangers" when they were talking about how they had the same hair. Just some food for thought, some regular music criticism of the quality you should expect from this program.

Also up for discussion: 2025's Finest Music Thus Far, If You Liked It Then You Should've Watched The Ring With It, and Wayne Coyne, Whose Business Art Thou? (Not Ours). I regret using title case for that sentence but its just too late.

This week our guest is Leah Weinstein, staff writer at The Needle Drop and contributor The Alternative, Paste and others. Follow Leah on Twitter @leahetc_

TW/TNITE/TW -- We listen to a big time BOP ETC with the Morning Bender's Big Echo. Imagine I said something more useful than that for this description.

Also up for discussion: Glastonbury goes as woke as the UK can stomache, Green Day is put up against the wonderwall, and Perfume Genuius stanks up (complimentary) a certain Seattle joint.

Never mind the Pollocks -- here's the Jackson. Is that anything? Anyways tonight/thisweek/tonight we are joined by friend of the pod Jackson to discuss a very serious album in a very stupid way. So business as usual for your humble travelers.

Also up for discussion: Are you there Gronk? It's me Margaret Favata, George Lucas gets Jatzelled and I'm sorry I ate a really really spicy teriyaki ($3 extra for spice and boy was it an undercharge) and its hard to type this while crying but imagine I said a third thing we said.
