Join the boys after an episode of less than stellar music in hopes that better music abounds!
They start off the episode with some NFT talk in relation to music and how it is actively hurting musicians before touching on the #cancelspotify movement spawned on by someone Sportify paid $100,000,000 to and has actively promoted anti-vax rhetoric and had over 100 episodes of their podcast removed for racist language.
The first album that they dive into is St. Vincent's MASSEDUCTION which is a bombastic look at success, love, and failure at the very top of society while being deeply emotional and semi-autobiographical. All while being wrapped in fantastic pop production and biting guitar work. Where do they guys land on the work of 2017 Annie Clark?
After the break, they get to talking about The Decemberists breakout 2006 record The Crane Wife. A band with folk instrumentation that is not afraid to mix up their sound and try something bold with a mix of folklore retellings, creating folklore songs for more recent events, and two songs close to 10 minutes long. How does this album stack up to the rest of what has been discussed so far?
And stick around for the end where they talk about the albums for the next episode and there is a special surprise if you listen all the way to the end!
