After releasing his restless opus “What’s Going On?” in 1971, Marvin Gaye knew he needed to take some time to heal. In comes “Let’s Get It On”, a sexual and funky ode to love in its many forms. Marvin Gaye seemed to think we were all worthy of love, so we’ll try to make it worth it.

Tyler, The Creator left us with some instructions for his new album: "Body movement. No sitting still. Only speak in glory. Leave your baggage at home." What does this mean? Who cares. All that matters is that you're moving. Joined by Elliot, there's only one more thing we have to remember. DON'T TAP THE GLASS!

It feels like the only way to deal with loss is time. Even then, it may never fully heal one’s wounds. Chicago rapper Saba knows this well, and his 2018 album “CARE FOR ME” is an examination of the loss of love, life, and even light. Even so, it’ll get really bad before it’s okay.

"A man and his guitar.” A motif that’s been a fixture of music for years. The world-weary traveler who distills his most personal thoughts into saccharine melodies. Elliott Smith is one such artist, a working-class man who made something truly spectacular. It’s a little too real, but we all sometimes need a realist to keep us grounded.

For The Good Music Podcast’s inaugural guest episode of the season, singer-songwriter Mia Fisher joins Eli and Miles to discuss songwriting, artistic inspiration, live music, and the ethereal power of Phoebe Bridgers’ “Scott Street”, as well as two exclusive acoustic performances from Mia!

The marriage between the arts and the streets is tricky, and sometimes perilous. Yet IDK and KAYTRANADA have done just so. During a flight from Maryland to Paris, we’ll learn how to not only survive in the streets but also look good for a fashion show. It’s simple, really.

Heroes and villains. A tale as old as time. But what happens when two villains meet? MF DOOM and CZARFACE are here to meet the challenge, combining their powers to prove that being a villain isn’t as bad as people say.

So much happens in a day on Earth, beneath the sky. Relationships start and end, babies are born, and two friends talk about hip-hop in their basement. In this episode, Eli and Miles take a look at “Below the Heavens” by Blu & Exile and examine what it means to be human.

For the season 2 premiere of The Music Podcast, Eli and Miles find themselves under a spell. It’s called “Charm”, and Clairo is the spell-caster. It’s enchanting, soulful, and still a little forlorn. Welcome back.
