Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Steven and Ian open today’s episode with a quick Sportscast about the World Series and the Yankees fan who almost ripped Mookie Betts’ arm off. Bad fans is actually an overarching theme of the show — the guys start with the upcoming election, and whether we’re headed for a wave of anti-PC entertainment if Trump wins. Then they address this week’s music-critic controversy involving a bad review of the new Halsey album, and the predictable freakout from chronically online fans.
After that, they check in on the Fantasy Albums Draft and talk about the latest from Mount Eerie as well as Phil Elverum’s career with The Microphones. Then they do a “Scene Report” segment on recent concerts by Knocked Loose and Drive-By Truckers.
In the mailbag, the guys are asked about “time and place” bands, i.e. acts that were set up to make one perfect album and nothing else. Finally, in Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the emo band Ben Quad while Steven endorses Philly power band 2nd Grade.
