They first met on the grade school playground in 1984, and quickly bonded over their fondness for contemporary pop music and their realization that they were both wise beyond their years when it came to their knowledge of music. Now, more than three decades later and living on opposite coasts (Chris lives in the Pacific Northwest, Jon in Southern New England), these two pals take a nostalgic look back and discuss some of their favorite music ever recorded.

Jon and Chris welcome Jim Moscater back to the podcast, and the three say goodbye to 2020 in style by paying homage to the Brazilian Bossa Nova craze of the 1960s, and the album that started it all. Featuring the brilliant American saxophonist, Stan Getz. and the legendary Brazilian guitarist, Joao Gilberto, the album introduced America to the beautiful and stylish songs of songwriter and pianist, Antonio Carlos Jobim. Getz/Gilberto also made an unlikely star of Gilberto's wife, Astrud, who sang vocals on the album's biggest single, 'The Girl from Ipanema' (a song that would become one of the most recorded in the history of popular music, and would also go on to inspire two Playboy spreads), and the album helped to usher in an era of smooth lounge music in the mid-1960s that would pave the way for chill pop music in decades to come.
