Episode 9: Brahms the Piano Pieces & Etc by Dmitri Alexeev

It is a lame hipster thing to say you like everything except rap, country, and classical. Personally I think classical is fine, except that also it is annoying and I hate it. Todays episode is a bunch of music by Brahms who lived in very interesting times but who was not really a showy person himself. Andrew helps us talk about romance.

Episode 5: AFI - Sing the Sorrow

I have a complex relationship with this album. I suppose this is what most people would call a guilty pleasure? But the reasons for such lingering guilt as I have about enjoying this record are complicated and probably not obvious to anyone who is not a record store guy. Sadly, I am a record store guy, so I can’t just enjoy things.
