    115 - Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue
    Jul 6 2024
    Welcome back everyone! I’ve been taking it easy lately but I felt the need to record a new episode to discuss this 2003 clsssic from Yellowcard…..except, is it really a classic? The lyrics are somewhat cheesy at times, the album itself is maybe too long and that fiddle gimmick gets old super quick. So, come along with me this episode while I dissect this album and why I think it’s one of the most overrated albums to release in 2003.

    Welcome back everybody! After skipping this episode last year, I figured I’d dive into my AOTY for this year along with my favorite pickups of the year as well (regardless of original release date). So sit back and relax and let’s relive some of the musical highlights of 2023!

    Welcome back to another episode and yet another record I thought I’d never own lol RJA’s “Don’t You Fake It” feels like an underrated and almost forgotten gem of the time. I’m here with Dillon yet again to give it its proper due and to hopefully shed some light on this absolute banger of a record.

    110 - Tiny Moving Parts - breathe
    Aug 21 2023
    Welcome back everybody. This week I’ll be diving into the Tiny Moving Parts aka The Emo Partridge Family and their 2019 release, “breathe”! Yet another record that I’m shocked it’s taken me this long to talk about. This was absolutely one of the best releases of 2019 but was maybe slept on by myself (due to that year having A TON of incredible releases) but I’ll dive into all that and more so I hope you all enjoy!

    Doing something a little different this week by covering a single song instead of a whole album but I’m on vacation so, enjoy this short and sweet one! I’m diving into a song that actually inspired me to start the show in the first place so I hope you enjoy hearing me discuss it in detail this week. Thanks for listening!

    108 - The Academy Is… - Almost Here
    Jul 16 2023
    Another week, another scene classic here at The Vinyl Countdown! I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to deep dive into 2005’s, “Almost Here” by The Academy Is… but I’m so glad I finally did. A few songs from this record have been permanently burned into my brain and instantly bring me back to 05-06 and I just love it. The rest of the record is outstanding too so, I hope you all have as much fun listening to this episode as I did recording it!
