Hello friends! New pod rule: If you don't hear from us within a week, assume we're off touching grass. If you don't hear from us within a couple of weeks, uh...we're probably doing something important. Maybe. Who's to say?

But fear not! We're back this week, talking about some fun albums that we've gotten recommended to us by non-pod friends. Drake will be talking the self-titled album from rock opera group East Village Opera Company and Maria chats about "Foregone" from Swedish heavy metal band In Flames.

To make up for our absence, tune to hear some Drake's velvet-like tones and Maria attempts to growl. Heavy on the word "attempt".
