Welcome to our Boomer Classic Rock Showdown. On this episode we welcome Danny, from Case and a Couch, to debate two titans of 70s Rock. In one corner we have The Bullies who'll steal your lunch and fuck chicks: The Eagles. In the other the we have Yacht Rock's Most Virtuosic Nerds: Steely Dan. We talk about their ubiquitousness, the way they've both (at turns) been intensely maligned and re-embraced by popular culture, the way both bands make us feel, and ultimately debate their legacy. Listen to find out which band reigns supreme. Buckle Up!
This is a fun one ya'll. On this episode Ben and Katie review the latest album of indie savant Julien Baker. Topics include: the generalizability of an indie vocal, whether or not an album needs a set narrative, and somehow devolves into a meditation on the general aesthetics of Catholicism in music. Get ready to feel some type of way, and buckle up!
We're back with what else but a review of Fearless (Taylor's Version)! Katie and Ben discuss Taylor's badass power move to control her art, how this album compares to the original recording (what's different, what's the same etc.)and how we feel about the songs released from the vault (someone's a fan, and we bet you know who), and somehow go on side tangent about Hamilton. Put on your best little black dress, and buckle up! **Let the tapes show that Katie knows what she says when she says it : p (listen on to find out more).
T-Swift won’t quit, and neither will we! Welcome back to another bonus-sode of the pod! We bring Holland back on mic to review evermore, Swift’s ninth studio album. We debate Swift’s song-writing cred, discuss the pitfalls of fandom, and give our many opinions on Taylor’s second surprise album of 2020.
Welcome back to another bonus-sode! This time we review another widely acclaimed quarantine album, Fetch the Bolt-cutters by the ever incisive Fiona Apple. We discuss the album’s percussive strangeness, it’s musical motifs, and ultimately why we found it so easy to get lost in. Naturally, we had to compare this album to T-Swift’s folklore. Tune in to see how they compare!
Welcome gals and guys to our bonus-sode!! Dropped on you like our reigning song-writing queen dropped her eighth studio album on us in the middle of quarantine. We give our opinions on folklore, defend the song-writing cred of Jimmy Buffet, and bathe ourselves in T-Swift’s wistful and nostalgic mood. Grab your favorite cardigan and step into Taylor’s vibey-est album yet!
