This week Nat & Jesse talk WWE, Vince McMahon’s new mustache, Trump’s first indictment (this was recorded in like late April or early May of 2023 I’m sorry we are behind!), and Nat’s new album!!! It’s so good! Go buy it!

Also, eventually we talk about what we’re calling “Pitchfork core”. If you don’t know what that is… you do. If you were listening to non-top 40 music between 2003 and 2015 you’ll be at home here.

P.S. Ian Cohen can catch these hands. Stop giving everything that even has a hint of emo a 6.0 or less!

This week Nat and Jesse talk about vinyl record collecting.

Nat & Jesse (finally) do a 2022 year-end list! A month late! But that is at least more respectable than putting out your year-end list in early December!

😂 So Nat lost his audio so this is the Zoom audio backup, hence me doing a
countdown at the top.

This week we have our second guest ever, Mike S! Mike has a really rad history
and relationship with music, specifically jazz & punk and we dive in and discuss
both thoroughly this week. Also, our shownotes have a character limit so I
favored linking less-known stuff. We mention probably over 100+ bands this
episode. So if I wasn’t able to link it here… pop a Goog.

This week Nat & Jesse discuss ethical music consumption. What is our responsibility as listeners and fans? Is it on us to right the wrongs of the music industry and streaming services paying artists pennies?

Show notes by Jesse

This week Jesse made a rap playlist for Nat and made Nat listen to radically popular rap songs from the past decade that he’s never heard.

This week we do our second deep dive into a singular band’s discography (sort of… we get hand-wavey for the latter albums), The Smashing Pumpkins!

This week Nat and I get into our approach to songwriting.

Show notes by Jesse

This week we dive into why people stop listening to new & current music as they get older and how we haven’t (totally) fallen victim to this. Jesse’s take is predictably viewed through the lens of Marxism. Nat’s is much more gracious and concerned with aging.

This week we catch up after the holidays and discuss our families’ influence on our own musical tastes.

Show notes by Jesse

Nat & Jesse swing the pendulum back from pop music to the opposite side of the spectrum. We talk hard-to-listen-to / avant garde music. “Challenging” music, if you will.

“I never worked out what it was that possessed me when music possessed other than I always wanted it.”

“Furthermore it made me someone of course. Thanks to music I became someone who was the forefront. Someone you had to admire. Not as much as you had to admire those who made the music admittedly. But as a listener I was in the vanguard.”

From “My Struggle” by Karl Ove Knausgard

Nat & Jesse talk about pop music they like because we are stereotypically music nerds who don’t listen a lot of pop music.

Shownotes by Jesse

Were the 90s the best decade for music or are we just old?

"Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes." — Henry David Thoreau, Walden

The quote Jesse thinks of when he remembers he asked for snowboarding gear for Christmas once and barely used it.

Jesse & Nat share their experiences at Riot Fest & Furnace Fest respectively

1/2 way through the episode Jesse’s mic decided to go terrible. Super apologize for that. Shouldn’t happen moving forward.
