I have accidentally changed my Spotify account to the Azerbaijani language, and I have no idea how to change it back. At this point I think my only recourse is to learn the language.

So, like, if there’s a civil war on Monday, do I have to still go into the office? Or is it ok to just work from home?

The album is iconic. So, too, will this podcast episode be. Enjoy.

New episode out now - Boards of Canada’s 2013 album “Tomorrow’s Harvest”. Challenging, for sure, but really worth the journey if you’re feeling adventurous.

@ucatalogueclash.bsky.social great episode on side 1 of Monster. Of course. Three things…1st…check out the guitar solo on I’m Only Sleeping - the first use of a backwards guitar solo, and done the same way that Buck did for WTFK. 1/3

A new episode, done right. Green Day’s 1995 album “Insomniac”. It will be fun, I promise you. We went a bit off the rails for this one. Check it out, because you love music, and maybe kinda like us, too. honest-unmerciful-record-review.podbean.com/e/ep-45-gree...

Yow - new pod episode recorded. The podwaves were taken over by two hooligans, Jet Carlo and Skinny D, which lead to some hijinx and general bafoonery. What better way to discuss Green Day’s “Insomniac”? Stay tooned for the pod episode to drop in the coming few days. #greenday

What do you do if your podcast is forced to change formats because the host platform changed the rules after you’ve already published 50 hours of content. Sit and fret about it and hope it fixes itself and magically all of your episodes somehow turn by themselves into the proper format, obviously.

Wins for Oppenheimer and Godzilla Minus One mean this is the first time a movie and its sequel both won Oscars the same year.

I have a confession to make. When I was in high school. A friend of mine told me he was a fan of Lou Reed. For about 2 years, I thought he meant Lou Gramm, lead singer of Foreigner. It was only later when I went to college that I realized the truth.

Maybe you haven’t heard this album before. But if you’re a new wave fan and like some challenging music, this may be your jam. King Crimson and their 1981 album “Discipline”. Enjoy!
