    April 2024 New(ish) Music Round-Up: Lots of Heritage Indie-Rock and a Boring Taylor Swift Record
    Jun 28 2024
    If April seems like a while ago it’s because it is. It’s nearly July and we’re falling behind. But there was some great music and we’re committing to rounding it up. Dive in to see what we thought about Vampire Weekend, Pearl Jam, the Libertines and very possibly some artists under the age of 40.

    March 2024 New Music Round-Up: Mannequin Pussy Perfects 90s Alt-Rock, Kacey Musgraves Embraces Jangle, and Bleachers Hit Rock Bottom
    Apr 5 2024
    In a big month for country-leaning records (Waxahatchee, Adrianne Lenker, Kacey Musgraves), Mannequin Pussy blow away the cobwebs with a genuine AOTY contender. Meanwhile Jack Antonoff stands out for entirely different reasons - his wretched Bleachers album is one of the biggest flops of the year.

  • Yes, Another Teen Movie (Soundtrack)!

    Yes, Another Teen Movie (Soundtrack)!
    Mar 19 2024

    Do you remember the '90s, when teen movies featured 30 year old actors pretending to be children, gags about sex crimes, and subplots about romancing your stepbrother? Thankfully one thing has stood the test of time: the killer soundtracks. From Clueless to Cruel Intentions, American Pie to She’s All That, these OSTs were often as good as LPs from the era. On this episode, Gabbie briefly hijacks hosting duties and leads the gang in writing (and starring in?!) a brand new teen movie, inspired by all the old tropes, and complete with a perfect soundtrack of all new '90s-inspired tracks.


    Songs featured, in order, below... but you can check out a much longer playlist of our picks right here: https://shorturl.at/crSV7
